A GOOD SHOWING.

]. e. Tuition, banker of Columbus,
has sent circulars to his patrons
and others setting forth something
as to the volume of business
transacted by his bank the past
year. He says:
There are, perhaps, some who do
not realize the volume of business
which passes through country
bank, nor the important place such
a concern fills in the life and trade
of community. and after carefully
going over my books for the year, !
am, myself, astonished at the
figures which express the totals OF
the principal accounts"
Mr.. Tuition says the purpose of
his letter is TO show that in relation
to the general trade of the town and
vicinity he is doing his full share
of the work. His books show that
for the twelve months ended Dec.
of this year the total amount of
deposits was $736 69s75s; checks paid
$6r3. .3f3G2, making total of monies

The Cherokee Alphabet.

The only existing alphabet that
is the product of one mans mind
and in which a literature has been
printed was the invention of a half
breed Cherokee Indian. His name
was Se.quo-yah and he had no
education whatever. but il occurred
TO him that he could express all the
syllables in the Cherokee tongue
by characters. Finding that there
were cighty.six syllable sounds in
the language, he devised for each
one of them peculiar mark. For
some of the marks he took charac-
ters of our own alphabet, turning
them upside down. With these
symbols he set about writing letters
and by means of them correspon-
dence was soon maintained between
Indians of his race in Georgia and
their relatives 800 miles away.
At present this alphabet-or,
more properly speaking, syliabary
lis in general use among the
Cherokees. In no other language
can the art of reading be learned
so quickly. Whereas fairly bright
child learns to read well in English
in two and half years, a Cherokee
youngster is able to acquier fluency
in reading books written in this
syllabary within two months and a
half. In lS27 the American Board
of Foreign Missions betrayed the
cost of casting font of type of the
characters. The literature COM
posed with them is now very exten-
sive, numerous books and some of
the newspapers of the Cherokecs
being published in the syllabary.

We notice in the Kansas City Star
that n reporter disguised as a
tramp and went out among the
farmers protesting TO be on the
hunt of a job. Among other
things he noted that the farmers
left their plows, moving machines
and in fact all their other farming
implements out in the fields to rot
and rust. And he denounces il all
as "shiftlessness." He would
better not tramp out this way and
call our farmers "shiftless." He
might get a head put on him if he
did. It is not that that leads our
farmers to pursue this course, but
a kind of mental inconsecutive-
ness" that leads them to lose sight
of their own interests for the
interests of others. They know
well that If they would paint, oil
up and put their farming tools
under good shelter that those who
keep new machinery for sale would
not sell as much by one-half as
they do each spring. This would
prove a great drawback to these
merchants, and 90, out of sympathy
for their interests, they fix matters
90 they can help keep up the
merchants business. There is
nothing penurious about our
farmers, but you mustn't call Il
shiftlessness; they'll make Il hot
for you II you do.-Soc ct Tuum in
the Seneca Dispatch.

Last weeks Baxter NEWS was an

the style followed in setting up the
