short illness from typhoid fever. The

turn their warmest thanks to friends and
neighbors for kindly assistance during
illness and death of a loved daughter,
and especially to the choir and those
who contributed beautiful flowers.

James A. Garfield: When Garfield
taught writing school in Pownal, Frank
Shepard was principal of the Academy
two years after Arthur had closed his
school in the same building. At this
time Arthur was studying law in New
York City. The writing school was held
on Saturday and Wednesday evenings, as
ON those days of the week there were in
college, no afternoon recitations. On
those DAYS Garfield would come to Pow
nal early enough to assist Shepard in his
school by taking charge of the class in
Latin and Greek. lie secured board of
Mr.. Lyman WEIGH who lived about two
miles distant from the Academy, because
he could get it there much cheaper than
in the village. Garfield often walked to
Williamstown after school" IN order to
be present at his college hesitation in the
morning. With the proceeds of his writ
ing school he purchased him new 'suit
of Clothes" which he then very much
needed. 1t was in this way that
Garfield earned his money, to pay
for his education. He also sup
piled some of the churches in
Petersburgh with Sunday preaching and
walked over the mountains to and from
that place in order to save living there.
The delinquent BANNER We were

did not come, when we had right to
expect it, although some of us suspected
a little! Had Stillson fallen down the

his press? However, Tuesday brought

When to Stop Advertising.

A trade journal once requested
ten of its large advertisers to give
their opinion as to the best time
to stop advertising, writes Thomas
Smith, London, and the following
replies resulted:
"When population ceases to
multiply and the generations that
crowd on after you and, never
heard of you, stop coming on"
When you have convinced every
body whose life will touch yours
that you have better goods and
lower prices than they can ever
get anywhere else"
"When you perceive it to be the
rule that men who never advertise
are outstfipping their neigh bors in
the Same line of beuiness.
"M hen men stop making for
tunes right in your very sight sole
ly through the direct use of this
mighty agent
"When you can forget the words
of the shrewdest and most success
full business men concerning the
main cause of their prosperity"
"When every man has become
so thoroughly creature of habit
that he will certainly buy this year
wherehe bought last year.
"When younger and fresher
houses in your line cease starting
up and using the newspapers IN
telling the people how much bet
ter they can do for them than you
can"
"When you would rather have
your own way and fail, then take
advice and win"
"When nobody eIes thinks it
pays to advertise
Judicious and persistent adver-
Using is the keystone of success;
therefore, don't stop, or others
will get ahead of you"

SOME time ago says an exchange
Barney Gibbs offered a reward of
$500 for the best solution of the
problem how to get money among
the people in case the government
should issue more. A clerk in the
general land Office sends in the fol-
lowing and claims the money: ''The
government is to lend money on
real estate, to the owner, for fixed
time. If not paid at maturity, the
government is to foreclose on the
same and the land becomes public
demain and open to actual settlers,
the original owner to have priority
of right to settle on same. Should
the farmer or land owner again need
money he could repeat the process.
In this way the money mills would
be kept going day and night, and
the problem would be soIyed. This
beats the forty-acres-and a-mule
promise, and would be fine timber
for the third-party platform. That
clerk was entirely too cheap with
his ideas.

BRAZIL is having a big railroad
building boom Just now. A dozen
new roads are being built to tap
the southern and western regions,
where coffee growing is being large
ly extended American engines and
American cars are used on the
roads, but the rails come from En-
gland. Nearly all the coal used
also comes from England, but it
should come from the United States,
and probably will very soon. The
government exercises more than a
paternal control over the railroads.
and looks after the interests of the
investors and the passengers with
equal solicitude. It requires the
projectors to guarantee a certain
dividend, establishes the rates of
fare and freight, keeps staff of en-
gineers to regularly inspect the
roads and also takes a share of the
profits.

al am satisfied that Cottolene
is a perfect substitute for lard, and
is very superior to it for all cook
ing purposes. Biscuits made from
it are much lighter; pie-crust more
delicate and not so greasy as that
made from lard. Oysters, Croquettes,
&c, fried in it reach the perfection
which cooks desire to have them
brown and dry, and free from grease.
Cottolene can be used in fine cakes
instead of butter where lard would
injure their flavor. 1 think Cotto-
1ene more healthful being SO much
less greasy and consequently more
dlgesnble.

same effect come from all

KNIGHTS OF HONOR.

On Thursday evening there was a
fine attendance OF Knights present to
witness the creating of another knight
ly man to the noble work Of the Order,
and uniting him with society whose
principles are to lay in store for the
widow, orphans and dependents after
death benefit Of 81, 900 to be paid to
them inside Of sixty days after death
and which would prevent them from APP
plying to the charities of cold, heart
less world. Among those present and
who were charter members OF Alpha
nigh onto fifteen years, were Judge
Cochran, and Cranmer, George Ankle,
Henry Seamon and Jacob Kindle6erger.
While looking about the lodge room
and seeing those good brethren
and the we'll known face OF
J. c. Morrison and Herd BasSnett
we could not but give expressions OF
satisfaction toward those good breth-
eren who had introduced the Order in
TO our city years ago, and who were
still members, and took such interest
In the Order TO be with the lodge on
that evening, and showed the sort OF
men selected as charter members and
which insured during the past fourteen
and one half years its great abundant
success. From the records we find
twenty-eight charter members initiated
on January s, 1877, three Of whom died,
one OF which only paid in $500 as
sessment, but his family received
S., 900. Seven withdrew with
0er'eountry, twelve are yet members Of
the lodge, and but six dropped out of
the order and which shows the brethren
are in love with the Order and It's STA
bilitY. All the brethren mentioned and
also I. A. Hall made excellent speeches
for the good Of the Order, and they did
US all good, as it was love feast to the
soul, and which we trust may re-occur
at our next meeting when another man
will be rolled through the mill and come
out Knight.
