Our Compliments to Brunsvict.

The proposition to bond the city
OF Brunswick in the sum. of $4,000
for water-works and electric lights,
carried by just 4 to 1. The vote re-
suited in 24S for to SO against the
proposition. We are glad to note
this spirit of enterprise. as Bruins
wick is in Charlton county, ,and what
ever modern improvements are made
in any town in the county, adds to
the material wealth of the county at
large as well, and helps to push. for
ward the car of progress. We there
fore not only congratulate Bruns-
wick upon her prospects for water
works and electric lights, but we al
so congratulate Charlton county on
a town which exhibits so
spirit in keeping up
with the procession OF the latest i'm
provements and conveniences.

taxes from Is cents on the 800 in
district No. 2-55-1S, Muscle Fork
township, to 81 20 on the 500 in dis
trict No. 3-54-2O, Triplett township.
It will also be observed that the
assessments of different stocks of
merchandise are by no means con-
sistent. In come instances the e.
sessments are entirely too low and
In Others too high. This. however,
is left to the merchant and his con
science;but there ought to be q more
just and equitable assessment upon
which the collection of merchants
taxes is based.
Be 1t ssid to the credit of Keytes-
vile merchants that no town in the
county gave in q fairer assessment
than they, which shows our mer-
chants to be honest. conscientious
and law-abiding. Ii always pays to
trade with such merchants for you
are sure to get your moneys worth.

he Didn't Advertise.


A Kansas merchant who tried to
do business without advertising re-
lates bis tale Of woe in the following:
You'd scarce expect one OF my age
in merchandising to engage. and
hope TO get q paying trade, without
the local papers aid, and yet I did
that very thing: l opened up q store
last spring. This month the sheriff
took my stock and sold it from the
auction block. Don't view me with
q scornful eye, but simply say as l
pass by: "There goes q fool who
seemed to think he had no use for
printers ink"

Fire In Missouri Township.

Last Saturday afternoon about {
O'Clock, Dorsey Beeler, OF Missouri
township, returned home from New
Frankfort, Saline county, whittier b,
had been to take his wife for q visit
to relatives.
After building up q fire and seat
ing himself for awhile, Mr.. Beelel
concluded to walk down to Cazzell
a hall mile or so distant, and get
his mail. He had not gone far when
he met two boys or young men, one
named Hooker and the other Cuddy.
One OF them informed Mr.. Beeler
that his house was on fire, but Mr..
Beeler supposing a prank was being
played upon him, did not even look
toward the house, but kept on down
the road until he learned that the
boys had told him the truth.
The two young men whipped up
their horses, but when they arrived
at the scene OF the flrs the roof Of the
house had begun to fall n. They
kicked or broke in the front door
and saved a. such Of the contents a.
could be gosesn ont, which was very
little.
The house was located on what is
known as the Dan Richardson farm
and was owned by Mrs. Mary
Brandt, q widow.
The building was insured for $500,
which will probably cover the loss.
butwe understand there was not q
cent of insurance on the contents. y
1t is not known how the fire origi-
mated but 1t is supposed from either
a defective flue or by the stoves get
ting too hot in which Mr.. Beeler had
built fire short time before the
house was discovered wrapped in
dames.
The COURIER sympathizss with
Mr.. Beeler In his loss, but as he is
young and full of pluck and energy,
be will soon be able, we hope, to re-
trieve his shattered fortune.

DUN'S REVIEW.

Weekly Trade Review tomorrow will say:
Storms aud floods. prolonged strikes and
large exports of gold have dooe their ut.
most this week 10 give business a vaca-
the past year, belated and much lessened,
and vet greater than those Of any other
nation, have caused q volume of trade
quite large for the season.
Prices of products still tend downward
withou. much speculation. 1t is not sur
prising that ut present prices farmers retain
their wheat where they can. Corn has
been strong, Notwithstanding large re-
csipts aud insignificant exports. Cotton
hss recovered a shade TO ~ cents. though
receipts for the week We're nearly as large
Pork products all declined with heavy re-
ceipIs, and coffee is also lower. The as
tOnishing cheapness of wheat aud cotton
will affect the rapidity of movement in the
fall, and also will directly lessen the
amount OF money required in moving the
crops
While the iron industry especially and
many Others TO some extent have been re-
stricted by scarcity Of coal and coke, the
number of works resuming has been
greater than tho number stopping from
other causes. But it is q symptom not 10
be overlooked that The demand for manu-
sactured products, instead of increasing,
appears for the moment rather smaller
than before, aud Indifference Of buyers is
shown in Cancellation of orders hitherto
given. IL Is a waiting season, but the
disposition TO wait il this year much in
tensited.
