HELP Your TowE.-We take the
following from an exchange, and
trust our people will keep the views
contained therein constantly in
mind. II they do Point Pleasant

1.-THE way to make y town is to
help as much as possible every in
dustry In your midst Jndiciously
aid every enterprise that promises to
add strength and character to the
place. If your neighbor builds a
home help him to pay for it. If you
are a property holder every new
house erected Strengthens you, and
il is but right to reciprocate. Don't
hide dollar with a penny. Look
ahead. Consider what is best for you
in the long run. Don't beso jealous.
II you can draw advantage from an
enterprise forwarded by an enemy
support it if it does enrich him.
By all means support your local pa.
per, do unto the publisher as you
would have others do unto you
trade with him. Should man start
up legitimate business in an OBJ
scure part of the town, whether or
not friend, or even an acquaint-
ance, say a good word for him when.
ever occasion presents itself, it will
cost you nothing, and may do him
incaIculsble good-always remem-
boring that bread cast upon the wa
tsrS will return after many days."

THE OLD TICKET.
A New Story That Tilden and
Hendricks Have Agreed to Run
Again.

Minneapolis, MIMI, October c.
The Tribune will publish tomorrow
dispatch from an authoritative
quarter, to the following effect: Des-
pite the many assertions said to be
made on authority from Greystone,
that Tilden would, under no circum-
stances, consent to be the presiden-
ltial candidate of the democratic par
ty in 1884, it may be safely set down
that desperate effort will be made TO
nominate the old ticket, with the full
knowledge and consent of the two
gentlemen most directly interested.
A short time ago Hendricks made
quiet visit to Tilden and effected an
adjustment of the misunderstanding
between them since the campaign of
1876, after which he disclosed the
real object of his visit by trying to in
duce Tilden to allow his name to 60
before the national convention. At
ter an extended ersation, in which
mauy objections advanced by Tilden
were met, and satisfactorily answered
| by Hendricks, Tildcn said | shouldn't
mind it, only for the labor Of max
ing another campaign. To which
Hendricks replied, assuring Tilden
that the compaign was already made,
and lie had but to speak the world to
secure the nomination. This seemed
to satisfy Tilden and they parted with
the understanding that the Old Tick
ct will be put before tho people in lS-
81. Shortly after Mr.. Hendricks Wis
it John Kelly made journey TO
Greystone on the same business, pre-
sumably on hint dropped by Hem
bricks. Kelly assured Tilden that he
had buried the Ratchet, and was
anxious to see the old ticket renomi-
mated, and would work hard and
faithfully 10 accomplish that end
and also to secure their election. 1t
is intimated that He idricks is act Z; /
cd by the fact that TiIdcn is an old
man and decidedly feeble, and that
Hendricks would have much to do of
the work of the presidential office.
and would probably become presi-
dent before the end of the term by
reason of Tildcn's death or total disa
bility. Kelly wants Tilden nOmina-
ted so as to pay of old practical debts
and it retire Cleveland and others,
for whom he has a strong dislike

CLUB LIST.
Fall Fashion Notes from Godey's
1ady's Book for October

New round hats have high crowns
and straight or rolling brims.
A velvet and velveteen season is
predicted, the new velveteens are so
handsomely finished that they are Ia
ked for real velvet.
Small shoulder capes Or collars
with full pleated ruflies are among
the late novelties.
The Moliere waistcoat and the
blouse waist, worn under cut away
Jackets, are favorite autumn styles.
Pale cigar color is one of the new
and popular colors.
Surplicc fronts like those worn
half a century ago, are revived, and
are extremely pretty with the grand
mother dress.
For cool days there are short, close
fitting jackets in blue rigogne, TRIM
med with silver and black braid. and
fastened in silver FURNISHED buttons
Tortoise shell beads are the latest
Long Jersey gloves of the finest
wool are much worn
Bustles and crinolcts grow larger
while skirt draperies are being made
more ample TO accommodate them.
Refinement in dress proclaims re-
finement in other things, and snowy
vulgar dress indicates corresponding
Qualities i'll the wcarer
Tue most approved phase OF foot
wear has been developed in the di'
rection of low heels, broad toes ano
comfortable thick soles.

The Jersey has become an insiitu
ton, and most ladies have at leaS

Fancy colors and white ones are uset
for evening wear.
Ladies' with much color need rib
bon or lace ties that will have a sub

"Chicken down" is the newes
shade of yellow. 1t has greer

to blondes.
Only kid or leather glove SHOULD
be used for travelling. The long
wristcd pig-skin glove is by all odd
the best, and when drawn over thu
sleeves there is no chance for dust o.
cinders to drift inside.
Rounded soltache is used fo

The Circus Of the Future.

1t is not possible that anybody has
forgotten the circus of his boyhood
DAYS. Then they were used to hay
ing an elephant or two. They had a
camel and a few other animals.
There was but one ring, and the per-
formers did not live in hotels, but
tried to be contented with whatever
good things-more likely they were
bad-the gods sent them. There
were no sleeping cars then. The
happiest man was he who could pick
up a nap here or there on the road,
when the fit took him, undlsturbed
by the roaring of the lion or the loud
talk of his keeper. Circuses then
went to small towns. comparatively
speaking, such as the big shows OF
this day can not afford to visit. One
tent, one brass band, one rope walker
one elephant, or possibly two, one
great rider, and few other individ-
ual specimens--these made up the
show of the days of our fathers
Talking with friend just now, he
recalled the memories Of his first cir.
Gus down in Plymouth county, and
more than fifty years ago. There
was one elephant attached to that
Bet by name and she not many year,
after crushed the head of her keeper
which he confdingly placed in hel
mouth. Foolish man, foolish ele'
uhant. The animals Of this day are
