MOBILES Us. ROCK.

AS a matter of fact there is no COM
pLriSOn between Mobiles county and
Rock.-liock co. Herald.
True enough. Mobiles is the Hub,
Rock is !. lIub-urb. Mobiles has the
metropolis, Rock is one of the pro-
vincps Mobiles has the railroad centre,
Ecck is on il branch or slletrack.
Mobiles has tie Big ADVANCE, Rock
has the little Herald. Mobiles has 20
townships of land, Rock only II town
ships. Mobiles has six large lakes and
numerous small ones, Rock has nothing
has y miles Of lake frn,,t, lined with
stock farms, within, II radius of eight
miles of N'urthirrto!,, Rock has no lake
front with four tons of hay to the acre.
OIc-fnurt,, Of Mobiles Was made for
stock, having oceans of grass and
water, and the other thrcc-fUnrths is
high rolling land nlatse fer wheat and
all grain. MOBILES can take out her
lakes and low, fat ltn0s,' and still!
have more high. rolling, ti!lable land
left than Rock. Mobiles can give away
four or five townships and still have
more left tl.an Rock. Mobiles has five

They are facts, c;:!lt,l oHt by the at
tempt of the Herald to make tho ex.
curs rsio!,sts h,.litve that Mobiles is i.:-
fer!or to Rock.
1t is not necessary to brlt:!c Mobiles
in o ler to enlarge little Rock. Rock
il an excellent county, Luvcrne is Il

every cXc,!rsinhiSt will ste at Il glance,

The ADVANCE articles on the infa.
nous "i;usscll law" of Ohio, copied
into tho Boston Banner of Light, with
= worldwide circulation, and into
Man, the organ of the National Liberal
14eague, as we'll as into other papers of
less circulation, have been emphatical
ly endorsed and read 10y hundreds OF
thousands of people We mention this
in no boastful manner, but to express
cur qualification at the fact that an
earnest word in the cause OF right, al
though spoken in a corner, may be tax
en- up and made to ring out far and
wide over the land. For years we have
contended that the country press
should be bold and independent in de
nouncing every wrong, whether in so
ciety, in the church or in the state, and
that if the country press, which is to ;
great extent the educator OF the coun
try people, and the fcrmer of opinio,
in the country districts, would always
do its duty in this respect, great evil
could be promptly corrected and pro
gressiye movements be promptly car
ried to a successful issue.
The Banner of Light, of June 23d
prefaces an article copied from tn
ADVANCE with the following heart
endorsement:
AS stated by us in previous issues tn
indignation at the passage Of the inf,
nous bill above named-whereby til
mediums in Ohio cities are charged
yearly tax Of $500 as fee licensing
such individuals to utilize their soul
cheering gifts-is not confined to tn
limits OF that State, but continues to b
expressed in determined language il
other PARTS of the nation. We las
week copied from the columns of til
Worthington (Minn.) ADVANCE,
manly editorial protest against thi
bigoted measure; and now give on
readers another excerpt from the dec
larations of the ADVANCE editor
which we submit are filled with tn
very essential spirit of justice. In hi
issue of June 7th, Mr.. Miller, of tn
ADVANCE, copies the outspoken lette
forwarded to us by DR.. James Cooper
of Bellefontaine, o., and printed i
our issue of May 9th. and appends tn
