Money is plentiful down East.
Vanderbilt says that there is more OF
it than you can shake a stick at. In
Boston it is a drug on the mardet. OPP
portunities for investing or loaning
money where it will pay from 211a to 4
per cent are eagerly sought after nh
New England Trust Company b
reduced its deposit rate to 211a p
owing it says ':to the extreme
and unremunerative rates fqrloans on
satisfactory securitie.:sf 1t is quite
apparent tbatuhe money in the East
is reay in large quantities to come
West and build up the country. This
being the case why should not Morris
and Stevens county apply for a part
of the surplus. No security can be
found anywhere that is superior to oul
village and county property, and in.
vestments here are sound and solid
enough to be very attractive to those
"down-easters." Could some of this
cheap eastern money be borrowed tc
pay present Indebtedness on the part
of farmers and others, bearing 8 or II
per cent interest it would be grea
saving,

Cincinnati Commercial Gazette !:
Since we are not the partisan of Presi-
dent Arthur, or any other candidate,
we will hardly be misunderstood when
we say that the Republican party owe
debt of gratitude to our present chief
magistrate. He successfully hridged
over serious and threatening difficult
ties in the party, and has SO far made
successful and popular administra-
ton. In this respect he has differed
widely from those who had previous
ly been elevated from the second
place to the head of the nation. He
has avoided factions, and sought to
lead the party that elected him, and
through it to serve the country to the
best of his ability. This much will
stand to his credit whether he shall
be q candidate for election or not, or
whether lac shall be nominated or not.

toni Applause
In the February "Atlantic" appears
q paper from Mr.. rockingham con-
corning the "Three Sources of Power"
the pulpit the newspaper and the stage
in which he makes the prediction
that ''they will come to respect one
another as fellow-w0rkers, and to re-
ioice each in the others success, all
jealousy and envy being laid aside as
between real artists who are endeav-
oring to promote the welfare of hu-
man kind"
In speaking further concerning
newspapers MI. buckingham says:
"Every considerable paper is fortu-
nately, obliged to have political SYM
pathies; every leading paper must
undertake political advocacy. The
sympathies grow from year to year
more generous, the advocacy becomes
from year to year more just and noble.
That the public mind is enlightened
by uninterrupted agitation, the gen
eral conscience purified, the standard
of equity raised ), the level of truth ele-
waited, is conceded nay, gratefully ac-
knowiedged by all. That this is in
great measure due to the efforts of
! Journalists cannot be doubted.
The press is great power for dis
tributing intelligence of all kinds.
1t is vast popular educator in science,
the useful arts, taste for literature,
music, painting sculpture, in all that
belongs to human existence in this
world. A critic, keen observer, q
man of singular intelligence, himself
distinguished preacher, once said
to me that he never read a paper that
he did not come across something he
wished to cut out and preserve; and
he was prevented from doing so only
by the number of such paragraphs
This too is the experience of Other
men, as I can bear cheerful testimony
This power Of the press is increasing
,. continually. and is becoming more
and more beneficient. To every one
r who can look back half century, Ii
must be evident that in quality a:
we'll as quantity the improvement il
immense. That there is room fo1

are tireless in their endeavors to rais'

Invent to Atlanta, to Macon, to
Augusta, to Savannah and to Charles
ton. Let me say of Macon and Augusta
that they are the two most beautiful
cities ever visited. I was glad to
see the development of the country.
I have reason to believe that the South
is just as much reconstructed as the
North is; that the feeling ofthe South
is in favor of union and of the great
government at Washington, and that
hereafter they will be proud to be as
citizens, just as cooperative and just
as patriotic as the cities of the North.
Perhaps, not next time, but after the
next time, / should be glad to vote
for southern man for President, es-
pecially ifhe was a free trader. Laugh
ter and applause.]
Although there are many local him
ORANGES which have prevented the
development of the South, it may
be said that the southern people are
as well disposed toward the building
up of educational institutions as we
are. But they have not the material

IN EDUCATIONAL MATTERS
Minnesota occupies high position.
There is an endowment of not less
than 3,0O9, 600 acres of land for public
schools, 17S,0S6 for the university and
agricultural college. These lands will
yield fund of at least $40, 900, the
interest of which is forever devoted to
support of education. A large sum
has already accrued from this source,
and nearly 5000 high, district and
graded schools, together with three
fourishing normal schools, are now In
operation. There are, besides, over $50
private, parochial and denominational
schools and colleges. Schools are
found in every part of the state, and,
invariably, in new settlement, a
church and a school-house are among
the first buildings erected. The state
is well and wisely governed, and in
morality and social habits, it's commu-
mites resemble those of the oldest
part OF the Union. It is to region
with all these advantages, added to
the best soil and the finest climate in
the world, that you are invited: not
to an undeveloped country, hundreds
of miles from civilization, far from
churches schools and all social enjoy
ments, where you would have to work
and delye to produce fair crops, and
then find your market SO distant that

This week will be memorable in the
history of the Byard family for ii is the
first time in fifteen years that the fam
lily of A. II. and j. M. Byard consisting
of three boys and three girls have al
met. There are three events in CON
nection with this gathering which viii
be long remembered. The first was
the prosecution of nice family bible
to j. l.. Byard from HE father, mother
brothers and sisters as birthday pres
ent which took place in his fathers sit
ting room Sabbath p. NJ. by Rev. ii. S
Reynolds for which John made few
very appropriate remarks giving cx
preston to his surprise and thankful
ness after which prayer was Offered
and hymn sung. The second: The
family picnic Oh the notch mountain
Aug. II, where some - not counting
skub (the dog) took dinner. This oc
casion will be long remembered be-
cause it is the first time in Is years that
Aaron and Jane have mad the privilege
of dining with all of their children
That perfect harmony prevailed in this
gathering is evident when one remem
bers that fifteen set down to common
table after spending about three hours
in happy family visit. The family
once more separated to go from that
mountain top east and west to meet
again, we hope if not here it may be
hereafter to part no more. Only one
thing seemed to mar the occasion and
that was the unavoidable absence OF
several of the near relatives. The
third is the falling down stairs of the
youngest daughter Jennie. The hight
following the picnic who was going tc
arouse her mother from an attack OF
nightmare and made misstep falling
down the whole length of stairs but
fortunately escaped with only q few
severe bruises. This too will long be
remembered, especially by Jennie.

ANOTHER SILVER WEDDING.
Thursday the 18th inst. being the 25th
anniversary of the marriage of Mr.. and
Mrs. Gilman j. Thompson who are act
i've members of Mountain Home
Grange, the Grange together with
friends and ncighbors thought it good
to surprise them at their home on the
afternoon of the day mentioned. Soon
after noon the friends began to arrive
and continued to do SO until between
so and 80 were present. Ii was of 10
use to rebel for the invaders We're too
many and were determined to have it
all their own way. The men soon had
a nice shaded dining hall arranged on
the lawn in front of the house, and
the ladies speedily covered the tables
with that tempting variety of food
which always appears on such occa-
sions.
After supper Mr.. A. c. Coleman,
Master, in behalf of the Grange, pre-
scented the worthy couple with an elc-
CANT lounge, and the Rev. Mr.. Vale in
behalf of. other friends presented the
many beautiful and substantial tokens
that were left to remind them of this
gathering. These remarks were re-
spondcd to by Mr.. Thompson who in
fitting words thanked all for the kind
expressions of the day.
Thus ended one of the most pleas
ant gatherings of the season.

The Democrats are to have a grand
rally at Town Hall, Monday evening
Sept. LIST, with Col. F. w. Higginson
for Speaker. AS Col. Higginson is an
independent it would seem that the
Democrats (by engaging the hall and
engineering the preliminaries) intend to
take the young independent brood UNI
der their wing. Query: Is not the old
Democratic bottle about rotten enough
to burst without the use of this new
wine?

There is good deal of Democratic
Drag about the Independent revolt here
abouts from the republican candidate
for President, and our red hot Demo-
cratic leaders are nursing it with all
their might. Even hiring the hall for
the proposed independent meeting and
in various other ways urging on the
movement, but in the end they are not
likely to get much substantial benefit
out of it, although it must be confessed
that there is considerable prejudice
among a portion of our republican
voters against Blaine, and there are
doubtless some who will persist to the
end in declining to vote for him. But
it by no means follows that they are
going over to the Democratic party,
indeed most of the disaffectcd ones
scout such suggestion as an insult to
their principles and understandings.
They are republicans and intend to re-
main so, and their present action is
simply protest against what is to them
an unacceptable nomination and is not
intended primarily or to any consid-
cradle extent as Democratic side
show. | think they make very grave
mistake in standing out against their
party even temporarily and for the p,lr-
pose named but very few of them in
tend to give permanent aid or
support to the Democratic party or
have any newly acquired respect for it,
therefore | can see no good reason for
the Democratic leaders going into con-
vulsions over it. VOTER.

reference to the IIalpin matter they

this story was fabricated occurred
years ago. The woman in question was
lat that time widow. between thirty
.and forty years of age, with three chill
slren, the youngest of whom was &c
years old. The facts of the case show
she was not seduccd and that the ale
ooti,,n respecting her abduction and i'll
troatme,,' are wholly false" This is Iu-
,n;n;ou. in .thc highest degree. What
,.o a. ,;ro,,,, -tances out of which
this story was fabric, 'eu hesc ii'eS

We have been told by dem Pcfii'i'
journals that Cleveland did q the AN
thing" by this woman, that he paid hel
five hundred dollars &c. Now why did
he do this if he was intirely innocent
as these investigations would have us

the public would like to be informed.
