The country papers are the most
thoroughly read. Every business
man takes and reads his own county
paper. He scans the advertisements,
for his own advertisement is, or ought
to be, displayed there. The county
paper interests all classes, and is read
by all classes. The business man
notices it, because, beside the gener-
al and local news, it contains the le-
gal notices, the tax, sheriff and auc-
ton sales. And all classes read it
because it describes the home life of
the people in all their pursuits of
business or pleasure, and faithfully
reports their opinions, feelings, sym
pathies and hopes in joy and in sor-
row, in health and in sickness, in life
and in death. 1t is the best and
truest type of the people who have
made this country great, and by
whose toll great cities live.
An advertisement in the home pa
per challenges the attention of the
country business man with force it
could not have in a foreign paper.
1t is delicate compliment to the
town in which it is published and to
the business men in it.

The Marion Machine Works have
painted the two pratt Truss" Iron
Bridges built by them last Winter,
as approaches to our suspension
bridge. The painting entirely com
pletes the contract of the Marion
Works with our Bridge Company,
and we think the work deserves more
than a passing notice. These truss
bridges are pronounced by skilled
mechanics to be most excellent work.
They are perfectly solid an as dura-
BILE as iron only can be, and are put
up in most complete shape. The
work we believe was done under the
supervision of Capt. N. d. Helmick.
This company is quite expert in
bridge building and has put up its
bridges in various parts of the State,
being now engaged upon some con
tracts in Calhoun and other counties.
Many of the iron bridges built in
this State have been furnished by
companies from other places. 1t is
gratifying to note that we have near
home establishments that now can
successfully compete with them. Sue
cess to the Marion Machine Works.

aggressive. They looked upon the peace

invitation to become better acquainted
was not accepted by the elderly man, but,
instead, he moved away. One of the Irish
men-the larger of the twO-again trod
upon the quiet mans toes with so much
force that il made him bite his lips. The
