Both Bills. s.ars Paid.

A good story IS. tnld of the we'll
known engineer, William A. Sweet, of
Syracuse. Casually meeting a promi
nent lawyer one daEa brief conversa-
ton. ensued, in the course of which
Mr.. Sweet happened. to ask "the
Judge" what he thought of some ques-
ton they were discussing, without
really meaning to, ask legal advice in
the usual way. Soon afterward Mr..
Sweet received a bill from the Judge,
" for legal advice, $1,000" which he
paid promptly without a word of com.
plaint
Time passed on, and one day the
judge, who was also heavily interested
in salt manufacture, needed some
mechanical advice about some machin-
cry, which was not running satisfaeto-
rily, and asked Mr. Sweet to look at
the machines and tell him what was
needed. Mr. Sweet looked them over
for two or three hours, and indicated
the cause of the trouble. When he
went home he promptly made out a
bill against the judge, for mechanical
advice, 81 800 and the bill was duly
paid, furnishing probably one of the
few instances on record in which
mechanics ever got ahead of law

All this is what we are told almost daily by our

to be quite feasible and practical, and
/ have thought over the matter good
deal and have concluded as above.
In order to use the remaining power
you can see that great expense must be
incurred. I have in mind a plan as
follows:
You would have to tunnel under the
plateau along the river bank for race
way and gate houses, and also tunnel
out to the river for your tail races, al
lowing your tail water to run directly
into the river. You would then have
to sink shafts through which to bring
out the power on belts or wire ropes to
the mills, which would be placed on
the hill. Of course all this is enor.
mously expensive, but still it can be
done, and the only question is, will il
pay? 1t would be question whether
the interest on the cost of such works
would be more or less than the expense
incident to producing the same amount
of power by steam engines, keeping in
mind other contingent circumstances.
such as freight rates, cheap help, ETC.
This system of tunnelling has beer
adopted in the development of water
powers in mountainous countries, es
pecially in France. But l understand
that it was not financially successful
owing to the great expense necessary
especially to the great first cost.

How to Kill a Town.

Send away for everything that you
can purchase two cents cheaper than
the merchants of your own town can
afford to sell. If you have few dull
business days, advise every one you
meet of the fact, stop your advertise.
ments in the paper and let your gener-
al detection be most apparent. DO
not attend any public meetings or as
sst any public Improvements; and
publish your disapproval whenever an
opportunity presents itself. Abuse all
those who may happen to show a lively
interest in the welfare of the communi-
ty. Continue in this spirit through
the affairs of your daily life, and when
you have succeeded in attaining a
sufficient degree of general nastiness
wonder why your customers have for
saken you attribute the fact to the
want of enterprise in the newspaper in
which you will not advertise, and to
the i'll will of those WI ON you have
villi6ed. Then you viii perhaps find
that the town is not so good as it should
be, and that the great object you have
had in view is nearly accomplished.
The town being dead, you will doubt
less be happy Elk.

THE STANDARD.

VIII our readers pardon us for again
calling attention of the farmers Of Ten.
nessee to the SOUTHERN STANDARD as
an agricultural weekly newspaper wor-
thy of their patronage? As this issue
will go to many who are not subscribers
we respectfully request that each give
this copy careful reading and consid-
GRAFTON, and if deemed worthy he will
himself become a subscriber and recon-
mend it to his neighbors.
We believe the STANDARD is not
only the cheapest but one of the best
family newspapers published in the
State and can hardly fail to win favor
wherever it is read. The object of
the publishers is to do good rather than
make money, and have placed the subs
scription price at one dollar per annum
so that almost every family can have it
at very small expense. The weekly
market report alone is worth one dollar
per annum to any family who has farm
products for market. 1t is an eight.
page, forty-column paper, well printed
on good paper, well filled every week
with choice reading matter, such as
our children may read without the least
danger of corrupting their morals.
Send us one dollar for the STANDARD
one year, and if you are not pleased
with the paper after reading few
weeks your money will be refunded or
application.
