The PLAIN TRUTH.-EVery town
has its advantages and should make the
most OF them. Every town is pecu-
liarly fitted for some one enterprise
more than another, and as soon as 1t Is
ascertained what would be most con-
ductive to It's growth, push it for all
their Is in it. One man cannot make a
town. The newspaper cannot do it.
But one man or newspaper. with the
help Of the wide-awake men OF the
place all pulling together, can make q
wide difference In place. Every man
who succeeds In town Is help to 1t.
The more money he makes,i il he spends
1t, all the better for the community.
The larger business he holds up. the
more he advertises, the more attention
is called to the town. A man cannot
build up an honorable business in q
town without helping the town. a
town cannot build up without helping
the coantry. The interest OF one is the
interest OF Ell. Eldon GEaphic.

FROM MBXIC0.-A letter from Will
bur f. Kelly, at Monterey, and from
which we are permitted to make these
extracts, says: "We-that is John r.

getting several large building and rail.
way contracts, and at all events there's
plenty to do in hand and coming.
There is a marked development in fax =
tories in the country, and times are be-
ginning to be much better. All north
ern Mexico Is having an abundance of
rain. In Durango, where no rain has
fallen for three years. the whole couL-
try is Il DOded. In the old days great
dams were built to hold these floods in
reservoirs, against the day of drouth,
but the early Spaniards destroyed most
of them. In the drouth section the
government has had to help many,
which it does by furnishing grain at
cost, and the transportation companies
deliver it also at the cost of carriage
alone. The stuff was bought In the
States. and is delivered by agents. -.
This Republic is not such as you have
in the States, but is more of an absO-
Lutte yet constitutional dictatorship,
which under the splendid and success
full administration of President DisZ,
has been rich in substantial blessings
to all the people, and they all say, 'God
bless him." The great mass of the
people here are not capable of the de
gree of self government that we expect
In Republics, but under President Di&Z
they are protected fully in person and
property, peace maintained, the coun>
try developed, and the future of the
land made rosy with the promise of
greater things. Education and time
will do wonders, and to this one thing
the government is devoting much en-
ergy and wise forethoughJ, with the
honest and patriotic Diaz. But for
