Influence.

No human being can come into
the world without increasing OF
diminishing the sum total of
human happiness, not only of the
present, but every subsequent age
of humanity. No one can detach
himself from this connection.
There is no sequestered spot in
the universe. no dark niche along
the disk of nonexistence to which
he can retreat from his relations
to others, where he can withdrel
the influence of his existence upon
the moral destiny, of the world.
Everywhere he will have compan-
ions who Will be better or worse
for his influence.

MIR. Sherman a. Eagle has been
appointed postmaster at Gallipolis,
by President Mckinley, and his
name is now before the Senate for
confirmation. This is JUICY plum,
carrying with it a salary of about
$500. Edi Sibley, of the CALI
polls Tribune had been promised
this office, and he. must be sorely
disappointed. His great friend
ship for Foraker and his fight
against Hanna, was no doubt the
cause of SibIey's turning down.

Capt. JAS. Rust. of the towboat

lars poorer than he was on last
Friday, by reason of the fact that
he was held up and relieved of that
amount on Friday night by coup-

from Crescent to Montgomery.
The thieves came up with revolvers
presented at the Captains head,
and he had nothing to do but stand
and deliver. A check for $500
which the Captain had in his poss-
ession, was examined, but the rob
bers concluded they couldn't use

housekeeping and Happiness.
Good housekeeping has far more
to do with domestic happiness
than young people dream of.
These times need women whose
most beautiful work will be done
inside their own doors. Without
good housekeeping the romance
will soon go out Of marriage OF
course the man who prizes women
chiefly because she .1ooketh well
to the ways of her household" does
not deserve to have good wife
He should merely employ a house
keeper and pay her good wnges
But there are social, moral and
spiritual uses proceeding from the
wise regulation of the household
which bestow a dignity on what
what would be triaing. No matter
what a girls accomplishments may.
be, her education is incomplete if
she has no knowledge of bakeology,
boilology, roastology, stitchology
and mendology. Even if girl
should never be required to do the.
work herself. she ought to know.
whether it is done in the proper
manner.

WHERE TO BUY.
The Merchant Who Advertfses
Sells More Goods and Has
Fresher Stock


The way the public at large looks
at advertising is forcibly shown by
the ufterances Of q we'll known
Philadelphian, temporarily In
Washington. who was walking
somewhat out of his way to reach
florists. When his attention
was called to the fact that there
we're other florists nearer, he said:
Il ana seeking this man because
he adyertises in the newspapers.
The man who advertises is always
up to the times, and he is easier to-
deal with. You laugh but / tell
you it is a fact. l have studied
this oyer. and know from per
sonal experience For The last
few years of my life I've made it a
rule to never deal with any bust
ness man who doesn't advertise.
/ wanted some flowers to send of
in box by mail, and looked IN
the paper this morning for the ad-
vertisement of florist. Now, you
see, he wants to deal with me, else
he wouldn't put that in the papers.
I don't know any of the places
here, but the rule is a good one.
and III bet you anything you say
that / can get what want at this
place. and get it cheaper than any
where else, or at any flower place
that keeps it's name out of the
neMspapers.

Pennsylvania coke is being sold
to Mexico. and it is expected to be
followed by an opening up of a
market for Pennsylvania coal in
the republic south of US. West
Virginia is as accessible to this
market as Pennsylvania is, and her
coal is as much in demand. With
the improvements of the Ohio
river West Virginia coal fields will
be benefited quite as much as the
Pennsylvania fields.

TIleir Scheme.

The scheme that is now and has
for sometime been very systemati-
cally and industriously worked by
the the gold bug gang is pretty
well illustrated by the following
squib from that stauneh supporter
of the peoples cause, the Hast
ings Democrat. It says:
.sThe ways and means adopted
by the gold bugs to break into the
reform forces are many and some
thing wonderful to behold. The
latest, and one that will prove an
noying is the Systematic purchase
of populist papers, putting their
own shenchmen at the helm, to obey
the behest of the money power.
Nearly every day you hear of some
populist paper being bought, with
the assurance that from now on it's
to be radically populistic. That
means nliddle-of- the-road first, and
Republican assistant next. This
is matter that the sixteen-to-one
forces must guard against It is
we'll to begin at once tobe cautious
of the papers with new men at the
helm which are radically popu-
listic.'

The effort of any newspaper to
build up town is practically null
lifted unless it is backed by the
business men. A stranger turns
from the news columns of a paper
to its advertising pages. and if he
fails to find there the business
cards of the merchants and profess
sional firms he comes to the con-
clnsion that the publisher is not
appreciated. in which case it is a
good place for him to steer clear
of. No town ever grew without
the active assistance of its news
paper. Nor can papers grow and
build up their localities without
the assistance of the town. Busi-
ness men should realize this, and
to remember in giving support to
the newspapers they are not only
building up their own business,
but helping to support that which
is steadily working for the growth
of the whole town and county.
