WILD LIFE ON THE PLAINS.
Is the name of new book issued
by the Sun Publishing Co. of St.
Louis. 1t is the truthful account of
the grand Cavalry hero General Gus
ter, and his many encounters with
our wild Indians, with sketches of
such famous scouts as Will. Comstock,
Wild Bill, Bloody Knife etc. We
call attention to advertisement in an
other column.
An exchange has the following for
chile address to those who think that
the home paper should be just as
cheap as the city weeklies that are
made up at slight expense from the
dailies: "Do the city papers give
you any home news' Nothing. Do
they contain notices of your school,
churches, meetings, improvements,
and hundreds of other local matters
of interest which the home papers
publish without pay? No. Do they
ever say word calculated to draw
attention to your county and its nu-
merous thriving towns, and aid in
progress and enterprise Not word.
And yet there are men who take such
contracted views of the subject that
unless they get as many square inches
matter in their home paper, they
think they are not getting the worth
of their money. 1t reminds one Of
the person who took the largest pair
of boots in the box because they cost
the same as pair much smaller
which fitted him."

Having, reached the advanced age
of 81 years, Gen'l William Tecumseh
Sherman, has been formally retired
from the command of the Armies OF
the United States, and placed on the
retired list. He entered the army in
I84o, and his record since is one to
rejoice every patriots heart, and is a
brilliant chapter in American His
tory. The TINES hopes that on the
4th Of March 1885, he may be called
upon to become the Commander in
Chief of the army and navy, as the
President Of the nation to whose ex.
istence and present prosperity he has
contributed so much.
