Some one suggests that kind act
can be done by those 50 disposed by
for some good periodical
fer one or more of the charitable insti-
tutions of the state. If one has three
or four dollars TO give to one of these
a subscription to n leading
or weekly would be just the
thing, it is said
The postal laws are supposed to be
for the benefit and convenience of the
people, but the powers at Washington
do not SO regard it. Some time ago an
order was issued declaring all third
class mail matter unavailable, if more
than the address was printed on the
wrapper. Now comes a new order from
the department forbidding mail clerks
letters posted on the train.
Instead, they must put them off at the
next station to be cancelled, so that in
stead of gaining time, a letter is put
back just day when posted OIL the
train.
An exchange truthfully remarks:
will kill town. Llberality
and public spirit will build it up. When
men serve their ends without regard TO
the village interests they strike blow
at its progress. Between town with
money and enterprise, we would choose
the latter. Moneyed men are of little
interest to town unless they are of the
right kind, unselfsh, generous and
public spirited. Money alone will not
make a town, nor cause business ~
grow or thrive. Behind it must he
willing, wide awake, energetic men with I
push.
