He's WAY Up Now.

When we were publishing a paper in
1872 in Mt. Vernon, H., on the second
floor, a store was opened in the room
under our office. The proprietor came
up stairs and contracted for three col
umns of space for twelve months, with
locals each issue and q 5000 dodgers every
week. He remarked that it was a snap
to get into a town where the other mer-
chants don't advertise. This tirT start
ed on borrowed capital. In than
three yearsit had money Enc to start
two stores, one in Sedalia 4, d n in st.
Louis. 1t dissolved partnership and
each partner took a field to himself.
Byron Nugent was the partner who
made the contract, and now is senior
member Of b. Nugent & Bro the great
Louis house. He not only owns the
store, building and grounds but is now
erecting a neat little cottage home that
will cost him $751; 0O. We must add that
of the old moss-backs who were
in business at Mt. Vernon before Byron
ever saw that place are still
there grnmbling about dull trade and
hard times.-Poplar Bluff (Mo,) Repuh-

A fearless judge, backed by fearless
officials who will enforce the laws in

keen sword of justice reaches, will not
only be sustained by public sentiment,
but eventually stamp out defiance OF

the reflex ofpublic sentiment, where it
exists. Justice" said Daniel Webster,
truthfully, lis the great interest Of MAJ
