THE READING STRIKE.


PHILADELPHIA, Jan, 22.-President
Corbin OF the Reading Railroad Co. has
issued long statement IN regard to the
strike OF railroad hands and miners. He
details the cause that led to the strike of
the railroad hands at Port Richmond,
and claims that the only cause of COM
plant offered was the COmpany's refus-
al to take back men discharged for lust
cause. In various places there were
$500 or more men who voluntarily quit
work; and other Competent men have

CORRESPONDENCE.
Our NIIsaIaEIppI Letter.

louisville, Miss. Jan. IA, 1888,
To The Editor Of The Bdnner,-DEAR
SIR Thanks for the copy of your an
nual sent me some time ago. l am glad
to see such an evidence of your prosper
GUS business. Since l wrote you last
have taken up school in an entirely
new neighborhood nearly 80 miles from
my former one.
During Christmas week we had some
snow that made the landscape look quite
like New England winter scene. One
time in going through the thick woods
that they were badly bent down and |
had to dodge considerable to get through
on horseback, but as a general average
this winter has been an exceptionally
mild one so far. We had some fire at
school today but we did not need il
much. am sitting in the open air
without any need of fire now in the
evening. AS is usual here we have been
having a good deal of cloudy weather
and occasionally big rain. Some days
we have 10 or 90 minutes sunshine, and
others we don't have any. The sun is
setting behind a cloud now and should
not be surprised at another rain tomor
row.
Some who have come down here first
IN tn winter have looked in vain for
their ideal of the sunny South"
and concluded from the amount of
cloudy weather that their former idea
was a delusiOn. but wait until spring
and the balmy weather will repay us for
all the unpleasantness of winter,
The country here is similar TO that
where have been living and reminds
me very much of my childhood home
In Bennington. Our soil here is finer
than yours and free from stones. Il is
mixture of sand and clay with occasion
ally some that would pass for gravel.
Our river, the Noxubee, is in the dry
season about the SIZE of the Walloomsac,
but in the rainy time it is navigable to
Macon. The Tombigbee river just east
OF us a few miles, is more reliable for
the boats, and has more regular con-
nection with Mobile, giving us some ad
vantage IN the price of freight as well
as being little nearer than the railroad.
We have public money to pay for five
months school again this year, and there
are very few schools outside of the town
that run their schools longer
than that. shall take time for visit
North as soon as my session is closed
here, if not that should teach another
school in the summer. Yours truly,
G. E. BRECKENRIDGE.

,ctual loss in mining of $12 100000.
During all these years the stockholders
If the railroad which transported the
coal, who have invested $40 600 900 have
not received one cent of dividend and
they have just been called upon. with a
portion of junior securities, to pay in
assessments of $40 900 600 fresh money
to make good the losses of the compan
les. In view Of these results, it is not a
time now, according to my judgment, to
undertake to pay more money for the
same class of labor than is paid by other
competitive companies"

1t has come to be that business ard
adver isng are inseparable. There is
no business man but would Ike to in
crease his volume of business, and it is
not unbecoming in any to invite rade.
This may be done verbally and in many
other ways, but in no manner so pleas
antly and judiciOusly as through well
conducted newspaper. The newspapers
are the natural aud accepted vehicles
through which all printed communica.
lions are made to the public, and where
advertisements are looked for. Dodgers
and handbills. other than those posted
in their proper places are obnoxious, so
much so that the law has prohibited
their being thrown upon the streets. At
best. in the hurry of life they are only
looked upon once and then cast aside.
Were every Issue of a newspaper alike,
this would be the fate with newspapers.
and nobody would want them. But
every issue contains different matter
than the preceding one and is always
new. 1t goes into the family, work
shop and office; It goes everywhere and
finds hearers. The advertisements are
read though perhaps at first not so care
fully as other portions OF the paper, still
they are read. The advertisement IN
the paper is more attractive than in any
other shape. and will draw better.
There is no way in which the advertiser
can reach so many people with the same
ease as through a widely circulating
newspaper; he cannot send person to
do il for him so cheapy, and neither
can it be done by circulars upon which
postage is paid. even though the circu-
lars cost nothing. And circulars gener-
ally go into the waste basket at first
sight, as they have no associated value.
The business man cannot stand on his
door step and invite Passers by so cheap
ly, If he is doing anything inside. In
no shape is advertising so widely and
economically performed as through the
newspaper [St. Adams Messenger.

far from 1000 families, and probably
five to seven thousand readers. Twenty
