II Is worth remembering, says the
Howard City Record, that no news
paper is printed especially for one
person. People wEo become greatly
displeased with something they md in
a newspaper should remember that
the very thing that displeases them is
exactly the thing that will most please
somebody that has just as much inter
est in the paper as they have. 1t
takes all kinds OF people to make a
world, we are told, and the patrons of
a newspaper are made up of all the eIe-
ments of the world. A man may have
a dislike for tobacco. but he is not
foolish enough to complain of his
groceryman because he keeps 1t for
sale to those who want it, but the man
who finds something in newspaper
he does not like is not Obliged to read
it or to be influenced by it.

The Local New papor.

There is not live business man in
any inland city of Michigan who does
not regard any evidence of substantial
growth in his town with qualification.
He can afford to, because the growth
is bound to benefit him, directly or
Indirectly. In their pleasure at the
accomplishment of an end, however,
the public are too prone to overlook
the means by which that end was ac-
complished. For instance. the news
paper is a common convenience TO
which communities have become SO
we'll accustomed that they give scarce
ly more thought than they do their
morning coffee. 1t is only when they
TAIL TO receive them that they begin to
look upon them as pleasure or a bene-
fit. Their Offices of beneticence to the
community are SO common that they
are unnoted, but none the less no town
or city can advance unless its news
papers are in the forefront of advance
ment. They are the life of the com-
munity. They must lead in every eff
fort to invite capital, enlarge indus
tries and enthuse the people in the
use of their advantages, and that is
just what every we'll conducted aud
literally sustained local newspaper is
always doing.
If manufacturer is seeking loca-
ton or capitalist an investment, the
local newspaper presents in clear and
entertaining manner every special adj
vantage offered by the city in which
it is located. In many cases its ad
vice is disinterested for there is not a
business enterprise that does not profit
more directly by the establishment of
a factory of any kind than does the
local paper. AS a rule it furnishes
little If any patronage to the news
paper in the way of advertising, and
the paper must depend for is remun-
GRAFTON, upon those who are benefited
by its location.
For this reason the local newspaper
is the one newspaper that should com
mand, above all others, the patronage
of the community. 1t is the servant
of the local public. 1t chronicles thsi.
doings, reflects their enterprise, senti-
ments and desires. IL its pages are
shabby, presenting a paucity of home
advertisements-if, in brief, the SER
want is i'll dressed. it reflects, not up
on him. but upon the parsimonious,
sluggish, and unenterprising spirit of
those he serves. A starved newspaper
will never draw prosperity to town.
The local ne wspaper is the backbone
Of community. and generous as is
the public appreciation Of its Offices,
it merits much more sympathy and
support than it generally receives.

The body Of Thos. Gambell, sen., a
settler in Comins township, who had
been missing since Thanksgiving day,
was found on Monday of this week,
in the woods, within half a mile OF
his home. An inquest was held next
day and the jury brought in verdict
of Froze to death on Thanksgiving
Eve. The mans family was not
alarmed at his long absence, as he had
complained of not feeling well, and
they thought he had gone, as he had
done before, TO a hospital. Some
money watch, revolver and several
other articles of value were found on
the body, which must necessarily ex-
clude all thought of foul play. Worth

the reader a correct idea of the plant

A paper must receive patronage ia
order to be flrst-class, and first-class
patronage consists in mans paying
his subscription in advance. In near

wind-up moral support doesn't pay

DUBLIN, Dec. 16.-Intense excitement
has been created here by the receipt of
news of serious conflict at Ballynahill
and the wounding of Michael Davitt.
Mr.. Parnell was addressing meeting at
that place to-day, while at the same place
and time another meeting was being adj
dressed by Messrs. Davitt and Tanner. So
close together were the meeting places
that the voices Of the orators of one party
were plainly audible to those of the other.
The speeches were of most violent
character, and the words of the speakers
were interrupted by cheers, insulting
jcers and defiant cries.
Mr.. Parnell's appearance was the signal
for mighty outburst of applause from
his adherents. The arrival of their leader,
coupled with the CALLING taunts of Their
opponent, seemed to excite the Parnellites
to fury, and with wild and sudden rush
they threw themselves upon the opposi-
ton meeting.
Promptly jumping from the speakers
platform Davitt and Tanner, with the
priests by their sides, placed themselves at
the head of their friends and fighting
desperately and fierccly drove back the
attacking Parnellites. Sticks, clubs and
stones were freely used, and Davitt, while

A Very Pretty story.


The army of colored employees in the
various departments threaten to make a
united protest against the long-establishcd
custom of compelling them to act as
house servants outside of Office hours.
Nearly every chief Of a division has as
a dining-room servant colored employee
is appointed to place as laborer or ness
enger il is nearly always a necessary
qualiiicationt that he Is good waiter. In
the morning, before the hour for him to
begin work, he goes to the residence of
the official to attend the furnaces, sweep
the steps, and serve breakfast to the fam
lily. After this he reports to the depart
mcnt, where he remains until 4 O'Clock,
when he again returns to his employers
residence and serves dinner. If a man
should refuse to be used in this way and
occasionally one does, he is Immediately
discharged for his INSTRUMENTATION.
There is an official in the Treasury De-
partment who has five Of the Governments
employees to act as servants about his
house before and after hours. He has sons
and daughters in society, and the little
suppers which he often gives are always
served by colored men, who are messen-
gers and iaborers in his department. There
is even Cabinet officer under President
Harrison who has his dinners served every
day by messenger in his department Of
the public service. The messenger COM
plains bitterly to his intimate friends
about this, but he is careful to wear q
| pleasant smile while doing his household
work for fear of losing the little place he
holds at $3.50 year. This messenger was
once member of the Legislature of his
State, and hi, came on here as leading
Republican, deserving well of his party.
This recommendation did not go as far
| toward securing him his place as messen'
| ger as did the fact that he had been
brought up as waiter in Southern

Kennard began the fighting, Murray

Murray planted many blows in Kennard's
