STEPHEN vENARD.

Stephen Venard, famous as hunter of
highwaymen, died in Nevada City, Wednes-
day nign', after lingering illness, at the
age of 81 years. He went to Nevada City
from Ohio in the early SOS and engaged in
merchandising. Subsequently he mined and
did police duty there. and was for time
engaged in cattle-raising in the State of
Nevada. On the morning of May 10, 1866,
the stage from North San Juan to Nevada
City was slapped q few miles from the lat
ter place by George Shanks, alias Jack
Williams. Bob Finn. alias Cation, and
Gtorge w. Moore, who captured $500.
Venard, who participated in the chase few
hours later, came up with the highwaymen
in one OF the widest and most inaccessible
portions of South Yuba Canyon, where
they were dividing the spOils. An encoun-
ter ensued, in which Venard, with a rifle,
killed all three and escaped unhurt Gov
ernor Low appointed him Lieutenant
Colonel on his staff for meritcrious services
in the field, and the Wells-Fargo Express
Company presented him with valuable
rifle. He was a man of modest demeanor,
thoroughly temperate, of the strietest
probty and not afraid of anything.

THERE is at least one farmer down
in Nash county who Ines at homr. The
Warrenton Gazette says:
Tom Ward, who lives in Nash, has
been farming 60 years, and during that
time had to buy corn only one year,
and never had to buy any meat for
family use. His sons are following his
example.
Those are the kind of farmers we
like to read about. 1t is quite different
with the man who plonts all cotton OF
all tobacco and has to buy everything
for man and boost to eat.

JUDGE w. A. PETER, editor Of the
Kansas Farmer, is the gentleman who
is to succeed John J. Ingalls, as United
States Senator from Kansas. A dis.
patch says:
Up to a year ago Judge PETER was a
staunch Republican. He favors unlim-
tied coinage of silver and conservative
expansion OF the currency, moderate
protection of home industries, but does
not believe in protection as principle.
He favors the Government loanins
money at 2 and 3 per cent. on farm
mortgages.

who have RELOCATED this venomous

THE bill to establish an industrial
and normal school for girls has passed
both branches of the General Assem-
bly,, and it is proposed to locate it at
such place as shall hold out the most
favorable inducements. Here is an
opportunity for Henderson. We have
suitable building already, and it seems
to us that with little effort and public
spirit Oh our part we might turn this to
good account. The building is stories
high, contains 81 rooms, and has a
campus ground of acres. Does Hen
derson feel interested in the matter OF
securing the school enough to donate
the college building as an inducement
for it to come here? If so, let us act
before some other town secures the
prize.

AS indicating how the Force bill is
regarded throughout the country, we
mention the fact that the Legislatures
of number of States, Indiana and IL
linois included, refuse to make any ap-
preparation to have their State repre-
sented at the Wold's Fair, until they
see what disposition is to be made OF
that bill in the United States Senate.
In Alabama a resolution was offered to
appropriate s250,O0O and in Illinois
100000, but both resolutions have
been tabled for the present. If the
Force bill is passed by the Senate the
Worlds Fair is doomed to be failure.

ABOUT ADVERTISING TOWNS.

The matter OF the advertising VI
Lynchburg's advantages seems to be
attracting some attention in that city
Just now, and various plans are pro-
posed by different writers in the daily
Journals. The Herald takes the liberty
of suggesting that no better medium
can be found than Lynchburg already
has-her newspapers-and they have
only to be properly utilized and sup
ported.-Glasgow (Va.) Herald.
Well said. There can be no question
but what the local press is the best adj
vertising medium for any town if they
are properly supported and utilized as
they should be. To their home press
the business men of a community owe
their first allegiance, because from them
they get the best returns for their
money; and then if they wish to cover
the field still more effectually let them
look to the trade journals and other
leading publications at distance. The
advertising business is not likely to be
overdone if it is judiciously and intelli-
gently done, and we would recommend
the use of other mediums in connection
with the home papers.
WHY THE NEWSPAPER BUSINESS
is NOT MORE REMUNERATIVE.
We are not surprised that the news
paper business is not more remunera-
tive to some publishers. They do not
conduct their business upon business
principles. They do too much work
for which they get no pay. For Illus
tration, in one of our Virginia ex-
changes we find the following:
"We have for sale low, two type
writers, five sewing machines, two cook
ing ranges, one ladies' phaeton, one
Brewster road cart and several other
articles, bicycles, &c.
These articles the editor has partly
paid for in advertising. He must pay
the balance in cash before he realizes
anything for the advertisement, and
this, we venture to say, he will not do
unless he can sell his ''due bills'' to
some body. And even if he is success
full in doing that, he will not have been
fully paid for the advertising done.
Then why run paper on such unbusi-
ness like methods as this {? No one
person has any use for the articles
above enumerated, and we do not see
why publisher will accept every prop
osition of the kind that is made to him.
If his paper is too large for him to fill
up his space with live reading matter
and good-paying advertisements, let
him reduce the size of it. It would be
cheaper and better every way to print
smaller sheet, than "big paper''
and fill it up with mean-printing cleo
trotypes and advertisements to be paid
for in trade-such as that above men
toned.
1t will be a matter of little surprise
when we say that the paper from which
the above paragraph is taken is adver-
tised for sale by the publisher.

THE PUBLISHERS ARE TO BLAME.

THE PUBLISHERS ARE TO BLAME.
An advertising agent, with cut of
q pig, a horse and a COW, boldly asked
the Mirror to insert his three inch adj
vertisement for twelve months with
reading notices Of five lines a week for
about one-third of charges made for
regular home customers for the three
Inches, the reading notices to be extra,
and seemed thoroughly surprised that
it was declined. Yet the ad. appears
in some of our leading contemporaries,
and the Press convention at every ses-
sion disc uses and denounces such
practice-Wilson Mirror.
The same agent called at this office
and made us proposition to run his
advertisements. His figure was so low
that we laughed at him. He said he
was in earnest and that he had no
trouble in making contracts at the same
figures with other papers of the same
class. We politely informed him that
we had nothing to do with the conduct
OF any paper but this, and if he got his
advertisement in others at such ridicu-
lousy low prices it was no reason why
we should take him up also. We
named our price. He said it was out
OF reason. Every well, that ends the
matter" said we. He amended his
offer, making slight advance on the
original price. 1t was declined, and he
left the office. After visiting the drug
stores the agent came back to our office.
Being again told that his proposition
would not be accepted, another was SUBJ
mitted and he left the office with the re-
quest that we think over it. A third
visit was paid this office by the afore
said agent and again he was told that
ne knew the figures at which he could
place his advertisement in this paper
and he would sign a contract fixing the
price that had been named to him that
morning or the GOLD LEAF would not
be counted in his list of North Carolina
papers. The contract was filled out
and signed-and the price fixed was
just double what had been named by
