uation.- climate, water and resourc-
es, what more do the people want?
What more can they ask, but what
use is 1t all if they have no means Of
letting the outside world know Of 1t?
Make your paper success. Make
the people help YOU, it is for their
interest to do so. Every one who
has its welfare should take the
paper, advertise IN it or do something
to make it pay They can all do
their share and not teel it, and in a
few years all will get their money
back with compound interest.
We all know the times have been
hard, but that's thing of the past.
so let US look forward and be prepar-
ed for what the future has in store
for Sequachea. With push, energy
and public spirit, 1t will make a big
success. When say success, I do
not mean the same kind as Middle
borough, Ky, had. After they had
almost everything they wanted, the
bottom drop out. What Sequachee
wants is a good healthy growth.
Keep the price Of land where the
workingman can afford to build him
self house, anG not drive him out
with high rents and high prices for
land. For without the Iaborer, cap
can do'nothing.
I would suggest that a Board of
Trade be organized to bring new in
dustries toyour place. A little pub
lie subscription with that, will make
strong team and do wonders.
But Of all the things you do keep
up the paper. It's the pulse of the
city, in fact the heart Of 1t. Take It
out and the place would be too dead
to bury.
You may send it, want it.
Wishing the paper and the town q
bic success, | remain, &c.

The Passing Show.

Prof. John z. Lehr whose perform
ance we noted last week, repeated it
at the school house, Tuesday Even
ing, to very good house, which
seemed to appreciate. the Professors
skill, as their laughter and shouts of
surprise indicated.
We have not seen a performance
of the kind for many years and to
us it seemed very pleasant and a.
1using exhibition.

OUR ADVANTAGES:

Answering a correspondent as to
hat is contained in our town and
he supply of labor and material, we
believe that in all truth the follow
ing is undeniable regarding Sequa-
chez and its advantages.
We have good valley land for
farming OF ali kinds, lands on the
slopes Of the mountains good for the
same purposes and for orchards and
vineyards, lands on the top of the
mountain which can be brought up
to any use by cultivation. And they
can be. bought in small parcels at
fair prices. For a colony, we know
of tract of 2 to 800 acres which as
Artemous Ward remarked about his
show is "ekelted by few and excelled
by none.
For material, we have good build
ing stone which makes good lime;
clays for excellent brick, timber of
varieties sufficient to please the most
fastidious. About everything requir-
ed for a building can be got on the
spot.
Do we have to send away for me-
chanics? No, here we have first class
machinists, moulders, stone and brick
masons, blacksmiths, carpenters,
painters and paper hangers, and still
more, some useful, all-around men
who fill the bill. Will these men
work for low wages? OF course
they will, but happily the tendency
of wages is to be restored to former
conditions. A mans trade is his
capital. A mans muscle is or should
be to him as good as the stock of a
merchant. If a man cannot earn e.
nough,to get him proper food to
nourish his system, it is like running
machinery without oil something will
have to go.
What else have you? Oh, we have
church, Sunday school every Sun
day, good society though limited, and
the neucleus of a pretty town, as
neat and we'll kept hotel as can be
found south of the OHIO, pure air.

as can be found. Clear as crystal il

Now the July sun is shining,
And the perspiration rolls,
And the boys in school are pining,
For the cooling swimming holes.
Now the juicy huckleberry.
Ripens on The mountai1 top,
And the colored folks are very
Busy harvesting the crop.
Now the truant's CONSERVATION
Grows as with a piercing glance
Ma demands an explanation
AS to how he tore his pants.

DO no contest or friction on either one
