THE INTER OCEAN,

In 1885 THE INTER OCEAN enters upon the
fourteenth year Gifts existence. Given unusual
confidence by the people in its early days it has
steadily grown in favor until this day, when
the publishers take pride in the fact that the
paper goes into more homes and has a greater
number of readers than any publication west
of the AlleghenIes.
From the beginning THE INTER OCEAN has
stood firmly by the principles of the Republi-
can party. and has, in season and out of season
commended for protection to American indus
try 1t does not agree with the idea that the
mission of the Republican party is finished; on
the contrary it believes that. purified by adver-
sity, 1t will in the near future again rise to the
higher planes of thought and action and be
completely restored to the confidence of the
American people. The most important agen-
cies in accomplishing this result will be Repub-
lican journals. If reliable, stanch Republi-
can newspaper was important when the Re-
publican party was in power, it is doubly so
now that the Democracy control the National
Government.
The INTER OCEAN will in the future as 10 the
past be the medium through which the best
Republican thought will be given to the people,
1t will voice the convictions of advanced Re-
publicans without being unfair even to Bour-
bon Democrats. 1t will be aggressively Repub-
lioan without being bitterly partisan, and will
give as much attention to the affairs of Cleve-
lands administration as it would have given to
the administration of Mr.. Blaine had he been
elected. With an Associated Press franchise,
with special wires reaching TO New York and
Washington, with special correspondents in all
important points of the country, TIE INTER
OCEAN will use its facilities for collecting news
without fear or favor, and so far as govern.
mental affairs or party movements are concern
ed will give fuller record than any other pa
per.
All of the old departments will be continued.
The scope Of the WOMAN'S KINGDOM will be
widened so as TO take in all the industrial and
reform movements in which women are inter-
now a standard, will be given greater variety
and interest. In the FARM AND HOUSE and
other departments the widest possible range Of
topics will be discussed.
Of original short stories and serial S, the very
best by American and English authors will be
given during the year, Arrang aments have
been made to publish during the year short
stories by BOYESEN, HOWELLS, LATHROP.
and others, and new serial by the author of
zone Summer" and to publish all these in ad-
dition to the serials by MISS:BRADDON and
other English authors,
In every department OF news and literature
The INTER OCEAN will make better record
than it ever has done.

Master Johnnie Strawhorn ia the best
farmer in the Bucklevel neighborhood.
He runs around every morning before
breakfast and gets advice from the very
best Of farmers then he goes home and
works by his own judgment three days
in the week, hires his mule out the bal
ance Of the week and attends Sunday
School Conventions the other three, in
stead of working in his farm.
.Bucklevel has = fine and prosperous
Sunday School, superintendent by Mr..
j. n. Major. Mr.. &. d. Buchanan and
Mr.. B. O. Verrcll were appointed as del
egatcs to represent Bucklevel Sunday
School at the Sunday School Convsn-
ton at Bethlehem. Butas they were so
busy in their farms that they could not
attend, Mr. +. p. Buchanan and Master
Johnnie Strawhorn wore tho only onos
from Bucklevel, we suppose that they
went to attend in the PLACES of Mr.. B. o.
Verrsll and Mr.. G. D. Buchanan.
The farmers of Bucklevel are general
ly through planting and have a fno
stand of everything so far. But the cool
winds in the morning makes young cot
ton look very sick.
On account Of the dry weather a few
days past the gardens are very back
ward. But tho people of Bucklevel has
been giving poke salad Hail Columbia.
They are fond Of salad and poke salad
was their only chance.
