European servants perform the duties, and
European goyernesses instruct her three
daughters. She avoids the paints and
powders so much in vogue among Egyp-

prefers European clothing. Her progress

ADVERTISING AND PROSPERITY.

The Buena Vista Advocate calls attention
to its advertising columns and the appear
ance generally of the paper as an index to
the prosperity of the community it repre-
sents.
"There is no better index to the enterprise
and prosperity of any town or city than
the well-filled advertising columns of its
representative newspaper. Wherever there
are live merchants the advertising col
umns of the newspapers will be filled win
j live advertisements. This is the medium
adopted by merchants to communicate with
shoppers, ana where merchants have any
thing to communicate they will employ
the newspaper as the best and most reia-
BILE medium And so it happens that live
merchants in advertising themselves also
advertise the place in which they hive, for
the newspaper circulates far and wide,
and the outsider may form fairly good
idea of the thrift and enterprise of city
or town by. scrutinizing the advertising
columns Of its representative papers.

CURRENT TOPICS.

Mr. Richard Croker recently advised
young men to so into politics for living,
because, as he alleged, there was no chance
for them because Of the trusts to ordinary
pursuits of life. In reply to this Hon
Abran s. Hewitt of New York, said:
II think competent young men nave
better chance now than heretofore. I'm
ployes of a firm owning large business
cannot get an interest in the business, but
the stocks of the large corporations are Tor
sale and can be brought every day in the
market A young man who saves money
can get an interest in corporation by
buying its stock. j think this is better
investment than in putting savings into
small businesses
Mr. D. a. Tompkins, of Charlotte, n. c.,
said in a recent interview with the Wash
ington Post:
Southern industries are pushing to the
front in q satisfactory manner. Our cotton
mills are steadily increasing in numbers,
as our manufactured goods are sought Tor
in the markets of the world
This is true, and we will say} in behalf
of Mr.. Tonlpkins, that no man in the
South has done more than he to promote
the cotton industry. He told the South
ern people some time ago that the secret
of their success would be found in an
abundance of raw cotton at a low price,
the profit to be found III manufacturing the
cotton into finished products. The people
of the South are working on that line and
are seeing more and more clearly the wis
dom OF Mr.. Thompkins' idea.
The williamsburg Gazette reproduces an
article from The Times, in which we
claimed that the South was not intolerable.
and adds:
We find that many Northern people
located on the Peninsula vote the Demo-
cratic ticket in local elections, While be-
ing stauneh Republicans in National cleo
tons. There is no more intolerance in the
South than in other sections. An honest
Kepublican-one from principle-should be
and is respected here as Democrat.
