DR.. James Ray and Judge Bernard
Martin deserve great credit for the
handsome and permanent improve
ments they are having made to the pub
lie cemetary. The new fence and gates
now near completion, and the cleaning
out Of the grounds greatly improve the
looks of the spot. These gentle
men have undertaken this work purely
from public spirit, and if our citizens
will give them liberal support in this
most commendable enterprise, they
will make the place the most beautiful
and inviting Of any near our town. The
property belongs to the public, and
every nation or creed have the right
Of sepulture in it free of cost. Let
every body then help literally these
citizens who have undertaken unset

Newspaper Education.


Sensible men have long ago discov-
cred the value OF d good newspaper as
an educator in the family.
How a newspaper pays its subscribers
can at once be seen, says Mr.. j. w.
Crazy, of Florida, writing to the Pensa-
cola Advance Gazette, if you give the
matter a little thought. Suppose you
take paper that is issued only once
week ]; you getfifty two papers a year,
each containing the general current
news OF the times.
The educational advantages to the
family derived from only weekly pa
per are cheaper and more impressive,
useful and thorough, after the children
have learned to read, than the teaching
in the ordinary schools.
1t is a noticeable fact, and many emf
nent examples might be referred to,
that families who are never without
newspapers become more influential
than those who go through the ordinary
scholastic studies without the habit OF
reading newspapers: After reading,
writing and arithmetic are taught to o
child, it choice is to be made between
schoolbooks and newspapers, it would
be much more beneficial to the child to.
give it two or three well-selected news
papers than to confne it to the text
books of the school. Newspaper edu--
cation is polytechnic and universal, and
is indispensable to a proper qualiflca-
ton for true American citizenship.
A good newspaper saves money III all
business matters. If you want to sell or
buy anything you will likely see the
current price in newspaper, and you
will also see what you might want ad-
vertised; you don't have to take hear
say, and thus suffer from mistakes and
delays you must turn your paper, and
know all you wish to find out. You
will often save the subscription cost OF
your paper by one single order OF ten
or twenty dollars worth of goods. ! on
willioften find chances for good bargains,
advertised that cannot be found IN any
other way. A few months since a mer-
chant in Pensacola advertised to sell q
certain staple article of provisions very
cheap, there was quite a large lot OF 1T
and the eonsigne1 ordered it to be sold
at once. sent an order, and when sew
eral of my neighbors in the country
saw what / had gotten, and told them
the price, they said IF you take the
paper you will always know in time,
without waiting for second hand
talk. | saved the price OF my neWspa-
subscription in Pensacola for one year
by that single transaction. Indeed it
would be impossible to ennmerate the
amount of pecuniary benefits received
from newspaper advertisements alone,
to say nothing of the general informa-
ton of vital Importance contained In
them.
journalism in all its departments is a
business that requires more self-sacfl-
fee, more interchangeable labor, more pa
thence, endurance and nice discrimina-
ton than any other profession. There
is no class of men that furnish so cheap
ly the indispensable intelligence, wis
dom and virtuesfor the support of the
government and the welfare of the peo-
pie, as the well trained and efficient
journalist. Every good citizen should
take and pay for a good paper; he owes
it to his country, his family and his own
self respect and interest.

We advertised in the papers to rent
the paint and trimming shops, but re-
ceived no offer. We went down to the
City, found shops busy and needing
workmen at prices far above our rates.
We now go to Alexandria and other
places, but don't expect to succeed.
Work has been put down so low here,
that good workmen will not come here
to work. Respectfully,

Judging from the amount of lumber
received at the depot for private par
ties and the amount delivered to
wagons constantly hauling from the
lumber yards, there must be
a good deal of improvement going on
in the country, though there is not much
doing within the corporate limits.
