A boys worst friend is his mother,
when she INDUCES him in idleness
and is blind to his vices, says an eX-

convince him of the error of his ways,
and indelibly impress upon his anat

is hard.
A medical writer contends that a

A western editor has made the dis
covery that his town would soon
have a population of 10000 if the
people would burn their catalogues,
kill all peddlers and patronize home
merchants. And, then, if home mer-

assiduously as the catalogue houses
do, nearly all the mail orders would
remain at home. People will patron
ize those who get out after trade.

it tells the people of the existence of
some desirable article and from whom
and at what price said article may be
obtained. AS news the proper place
for advertising in the newspaper; and

The price of soft coal from the re-
gions east and west of Oakland has
advanced from fifty cents to one dol
lar per ton owing to the additional
rate of freight charged by the trans
portation company. AS result of
this advance our local mines have re-

the money otherwise sent from this
section to outside parties will be
kept in circulation at home.
