Pork Sells for So,2s.

Owosso buyers always do top off the pork
market In this section of the State and hence
the farmers for miles around sell in Owosso.
Any one who has any surplus pork to dis
pose of will do well to get it to market at
once. Local dealers were paying yesterday
1925 per hundred, the highest price paid
in years. Quite number of our farmer
friends were fortunate enough to be OH hand
with pork, reaping the benefit of the price,
The scarcity of pork at this season is largely
due to the continued rain last spring, when
it rained so long that the farmers began to
think they would not have chance to plant
any corn. Many concluded TO sell in the
spring and summer rather than wait until
fall, with the prospect of light corn crop to
feed with. This left but few hogs on hand,
producing the high prices now.

Dan Waters evidently believes inencOur-
aging home industries, and so rides about
the city In rustic cutter Of his own manu-
facture. II is unique device and attracts
considerable attention.
The meeting In the interest of local option
held In this city last Friday afternoon, ad-
journed to see what temperance Hesitation
was enacted by the present legislature. The
old com mittee was continued.
The Owosso Cooperage Company is still
at work increasing Its plant. This week
they have put In large 1Sx40 dry kiln
containing 1900 feet of pipe, and next week
they will put In larger one, requiring 1000
feet. They have one, new circular saw and
new jointer, and thee new heading ma
chimes are OH the road. Comerf0rd, who
has put in the kiln, Is also putting in steam

The Local Paper.

Gov. Francis speaking of the local paper
says: Each year the local paper gives from
$500 to $4,000 in tree lines to the community
in which it is located. No other agency can
or will do this. The editor in proportion to
his means, does more for his town than any
ten men, and in all fairness with men he
ought to be supported, not because you like
him or admire his writing, but because the
local paper is the best investment COM
munity can make. 1t may not be brilliantly
edited or crowded with thoughts, but finan-
clally it is of more benefit to community
than teacher or preacher Understand me,
do not mean morally or Intellectually, but
financially; and yet OH the moral question
you will find that most of the local papers
are on the right side. To-day the editor of
the home paper does the most for the least
money of any man on earth.

The Murderer Still Free.

While officers all over Michigan have been
dlligent at work trying to capture Sullivan
the murderer of Layton Leetch, still not a
clew to his whereabouts has been discov-
cred. Several suspects have been arrested
in different parts of the state but none proved
to be the man wanted. Postal cards con-
tanning description of the fend have been
sent to all parts of the country and it is to be
hoped he will ultimately be captured.
Mrs. Leetch still continues to improve,
yet little hope of her ultimate recovery is
held out.

The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1893-03-14

The new administration is settling
down to work. Confidence in finan-
cial affairs is being rapidly restored.
The scare over the heavy shipments
of gold is scnsibly subsiding, and
financiers are expressing the opinion
that Secretary Carlisle will be able to
preserve the reserve in the Treasury
intact. No administration ever had
greater opportunity to do grand
work for the relief Of the country.
Wise, patriotic and honest men are at
the helm, who enter upon the duties
and responsibilities of office, holding
the confidence of the people, of the
entire nation. The promises made
will be faithfully kept, and the voters
will zee to it that all the time needful
for the party to bring to a successful
issue thesreforms inaugurated, will be
given. The sooner these reforms are
instituted, the better for the interests
of the country and of the Democratic
party.
The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1893-03-14

Mr.. Wood--the partisan--and have
no intention of letting an opportunity
clip to show cause why he should be
made to vacate the Office he holds, that
a good Democrat way fill it. If he
chose to exhibit his bitter, and even
malignant partisanship in advocating
measures that were grossly imimical
to the interests of the people among
whom he lives, and from whom he
expects business support, and this too,
whilst filling public Office, he must
simply take the consequences OF his
own fool-hardy course. He should
keep such sentiments TO himself if he
does not desire to reap the harvest OF
honest indignation an offended people
will visit upon his head.
1t is very true, since the election of
November, no cooling dove could be
more soft and tender than has been the
Gazette in its political utterances; but
then this was after the people had
spoken. Mr.. Woods indignation be-
cause we express the hope that he will
be promptly removed is the veriesl
rot. He knows as well as anyone thai
he should be made to vacate. We are
IN no sense, whatever, an applicant /
for that or any other office under this
administration, but we do want to see
our Post-office filled by some one of the
several heuest, upright Democrats
who are applying for the position.
The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1893-03-14
Another Reason Why Johnnie
Must Go.

The Washington Post says: "The
assertion that editors are not generally
to be recognized by the new Admins
tration is true. Mr.. Cleveland be-
lieves that his predecessor suffered
the charge of having subsidized the
press, and he does not intend to run
the same gantlet. The decision is
also TO be made particularly spplica-
Die to newspaper men who desire to
be postmasters in their towns. Mr..
Bissell has had the names of some
country editors presented to him in
connection with various post-offices,
but has uniformly declined to give
any encouragement to the office
seeker"
OF course if Mr.. Cleveland will not
appoint newspaper men of his own
party to Office, especially to position
OF Postmaster, he will the more readi-
ly remove those of the opposite party,
who already occupy such positions.
Johnnie pack your collar box.

soldiers and Pocket Handkerehlefs.

Some years ago pocket handker.
chiefs were not considered a neces-
sary part of soldiers kit. / myself
knew sergeant major who, when
drilling squad or battalion, would
not permit any man to use one, al
though one day he did order a re-
cruit to fall back and blow his nose.

not having "blowed it,"
Please, sir, did blow it." an

WHO SHOULD FILL THE OFFICES

We take the ground that Democrats
should fill every office in the Govern
ment, from the highest to the lowest
that Is not hedged about by the Civil
Service rules.
The Democratic leaders have been
bowling about Republican extrava-
gance and dishonesty in Office, and
about their centralizing and revolu-
tionary measures, since we have been
old enough to vote, claiming that if
entrusted with the entire management
of affairs their party would give the
country much more clean and econo-
mical administration than the Repub
lican party has done. The people last
November took them at their word,
and for the first time in thirty-two
wears, placed both Houses of the Ma
tional Legislature and the Presidency
III their hands. They (tlle people, de-
mand and have right to expect that
the offices will be filled by Democrats,
so that they can hold that party to
strict accountability for the honest
and economical administration prom.
ised.
Not necessarily for spois, but
because party service coupled with
merit is entitled to recognition, and
the still fuI Their fact that it is always
safest to have true and tried friend
on guard, should the offices be be-
slowed upon Democrats.
To us, it seems a plain proposition
that Mr.. Cleveland and his Lieuten-
ants must fill the offices-so far as the
Civil Service rules will allow-with
competent Democrats or admit that
the charges made against the Re-
publican officials of extravaganza
and dishonesty in Office. are utterly
false.
II these things are the truth or any
where near truth, then a new deal all
round will be good thing for the
country.
More, we think it is an insult to the
honesty and intelligence of the Demo-
cratic party to keep single Republi-
can in office, who can be lawfully |
removed ; for it is virtually saying
there are not among us men of suffi-
cient, integrity, honesty and admins
trative ability to fill the positions.
