The Democrats built high hope upon
the Grand Army kicking on account of
discharge of veterans and hoped it
would have started an anti-Republcan
movement. Like many other air castles
these deluded people build, this par
ticular one did not materialize and the
G. A. r. folded its tents and went home
without talking politics, much to the
disgust of the Democratic party Mail

The Democratic party stole the
Lieutenant Govenorship and now
raises its hands in horror because Mr.
Hyatt, member of the State Board of
Equalization, n Republican has been
holding that position when Demo-
crat was elected. Mr.. Hyatt has re-
signed. He is too honorable to insist
on Keeping the place to which another
was elected, and the moment ne be-
came cognizant of the facts he declar-
ed himself ready to resign, which he
did.

The night before her second marriage

he will be offended, the widow brings

Bgeoms l1anataes..rsrs YoarssIges


Do not all of you be content to
stand behind the counter and pass
over articles made by others It is a
mistake to think that If you cannot
start on a big scale it is not worth
starting at all. Small factories are
needed to build up city as well as
large ones. Visit any of the large
cities and see how many articles are
produced ON small scale. 1t is q
fact that most of the largest enter
prises have grown up from modest
beginnings. You do not admit that
you are inferior in ability, aptness
or perseverance to the Northern boys,
do you? Then why should you be
content to let them make and send
US every little thing we nse (dogn
to the pencil and pad I am now
using) for you merely to distribute ?
Set together, some of you that can
command . little capital, and discuss
this thing. Now Is as good 81 %.
portunity as could be wished for.
You have q chance TO obtain free
site, rightlon railroad, instead oil
having to paya big price or YeRt as
in. Massachusetts or Pennsylvania
Avery few hundreds of dollars would
suffice for start. Consider the vast
amount OF smaller ware that is in
daily demand: chairs, tables, buck
cts, tin Ware, brooms, brushes,
combs, ink, mucilage, pen-hofders,
boots, shoes, harness, toys, picture
frames, brackets, scarves, gloves, but
tons, cigars, matches, jewelry, ham,
nocks, mattresses, and scores of other
things that will suggest themselves 20
you. No need to take in too much
as yet; start small, but do it well. =
Then, do not be content with home
market only, let one of the firm take
samples and Welt neighboring towns,
and he will find that Southern dealers
are quite ready TO take a Southern
product, If equal to what they have
been getting; freights too would be
less. Asexperiencei acquired, and
trade grows, you can add to your
buildings and machinery, and so at
tain to7the wealth and dignity of a
large mandatory. Now don't pass
this by as of no concern TO you; cut
it ont and put it in your pocket
book; think about it, and talk about
it. Jot down the articles you know
something about or fancy YOU would
like to make. Visit factory of
those articles and see what machines
are used; learn all you can as to cut
ting down waste and expenses, and
how the thing is run in general
Work in the factory a while, if need
be, OF take in as a partner one who
knows and will teach you. Go slow
till you get things well in hand, then
spread out. But NOW is the time to
start. ARTHUR DAyENPoRT.
p. S.-Whilst writing the above
my mind ran over numerous other
articles as rat and mouse traps, bird
cages, rubber stamps, pickles and
preserves, &C., all small things, it is
true, but paying profit to Northern
makers that might as well be kept
here. 1t would be worth while to
obtain one of those mammoth cata-
logues from a general proyider like
Montgomery, Ward & Co., of CHI
cago, in order to realize to what an
extent We are dependent on Northern
and Western wit and enterprise for
nearly everything we use in town and
country. A. D.
