We Build and Furnish Our Homes to Sur.
pass Our Neighbor's.
Perhaps the most common revelation
in the building Of new houses is that
nearly universal desire to excel our
contemporaries-a desire doubtless i'm
planted for some wise purpose, but
which often leads to most extraordinary
results, for the reason that many of our
fellow mortals are considerably off the
track, and when We surpass them in
any direction We only 60 still farther
astray. Thus. when q man has more
money to spend than his ne;ghbor he
examines his neighbours house and pro-
ceeds to build one lust like it-only
more So"
His neighbours rooms are 10 feet
high. He will have his IL or IA, build
three stories instead of two, and cover
them with a pretentious roof. If his
neighbor has a four sided cupola sur
mounted by plain pyramid, he will
have an eight sided or circular tower,
with covering. for which there is no
adequate word of description, mathe-
NAUTICAL or otherwise. His neighbor' s
house is wood. His shall be of brick,
Roman brick, terra Gotta, granite or
polished marble, separately or in COM
bination.
His neighbor and his neighbours wife
have common glass, pine finish, ingram
carpets and q cherry table. He will have
oak. walnut. mahogany, plate glass,
brussels and velvet. and q thousand
other things, not because they are more
suitable or beautiful-they may or they
may not be. that question does not enter
into his calculations-but because they
cost more, because, in certain directions,
they surpass his neighbor 's-very likely
surpass them in the wrong direction.

these things without the power to

is deprived of power and loaded
with responsibility.
another evil of our monetary
condition 10 the elasticity of the
national bank issues; rather, it is
the certainty of their contraction,
when the expanding business of
the country requires increased
currency to facilitate it. This is
strikingly seen in the fact that the
national bank notes reached "a
maximum of three hundred and
fifteen millions in 1882, and
contracted to one hundred aud
twenty-three millions in 1890. As
the country prospers its bonds are
reduced, it's outstanding oblign-
tions appreciate, and the banks
find il Improbable to use them for
circulation.
ITO sum up the evils, they are toe
little gold, too much silver and
paper, government banking, and
an improper basis for national
bank Issues"

The following from the county

The following from the county
commissioners proceedings, as
published In last weeks Columbus
Starr Courier, has reference to "a
piece of a bridge on Shoal creek at
Porter's ford five miles east of
this city: az. C. Weilep and several
other Galenaites were before the
board trying to talk the commits
sioners into completing the bridge
across Shoal creek south of Galena
The bridge was erected seve: al
years ago, but lacks fifty feet on
one end and 100 feet on the other OF
reaching the banks, and the Galena
gentlemen think If this county will
put in two spans of the above
lens this that the city of Galena and
Garden township will see that the
approaches are properly con-
structed. The county has already
paid out 5000 on the bridge, but Il
yet requires ladder and boat to
utilize it. For this reason the
people in that portion of the county
would like to have it completed and
the commissioners will meet there
on the 18th and consider the
ACCESSIBILITY of taking such action
az circumstances and conditions
would seem to warrant in the way
of its completion"

GET A BANK ACCOUNT.

The following from the Galcna
Republican is good advice and
contains good things for You to
think about:
did you ever stop to consider
what advantage the man with a
small bank account has over the
poor dew! who must earn a dollar
before he can spend ii. To
illustrate: Take two men, exactly
equal in ability, disposition aud
other respects, who are working foi
wages, say ten dollars week. The
one has n surplus capital of two
hundred dollars. lie buys his
coffee Ivy the sack. his sugar by the
barrel, canned goods by the case,
muslin by the bolt, wood by The
cord, coal by the car load, oil hy the
barrel, hay by the stack. etc. The
other, with no surplus, mus; buy
coffee by the package, sugar b. the
pound, muslin by the yard, wood
by the load, hay by the bale, coal
oil by the gallon. coal by the
bushel. etc. What is the result?
The living expenses of the man
without n surplus are nearly double
that of the other. The one is
enabled to save something out of
his wages and add something to
his surplus, while the other must
consume all of his TO live. The one
gets the credit of being an
economical thrifty, careful provider
and Il good financier. The other,
exactly the opposite. aud yet he is
all the other is. but lacks the
advantages afforded by u small
bank account"
