Count Orion bred Smetanka to

The exhibit of imported horses by
W. L. De Glow were attracting great
deal of attention this morning, espec-
tally the Or1on horses from the Royal
stables of st. Petersburg. The follow
ing is a brief history of this breed OF
horses:
Built on the immovable rock of
Arabian blood is sufficient guarantees
that the Orion horse, will endure to
be most familiarly known to the
world.
In the year 1777, during the reign
of Empress Catherine the Great, of
Russia, Count Alexis Orloff laid the
foundation of two great breeds of
horsesthe trotter and the coach. He
started by buying in the south of
Greece a silver white Arabian stallion,
Smetanka, for $4,000 roubles (assig-
natsl, which is equal to 1714 pounds.
Smetanka was of the Saclavq class, of
the Koelani breed, and was a magni-
hcent horse and very powerful: he
was 2 archines, 2 Il vershoks high (15
hands or 1 metre 5240). He was used
one season only at the stud, and died
in 1878, leaving only four colts and
one filly. Smetanka had two ribs
more than ordinary horses. as can be
seen by his skeleton, which is still
kept in the Orlof museum.

NEWSPAPERS AND COMMUNITIES.

The value of any newspaper to any
community is hard TO overestimate. The
real newspaper is the paper whose cir
culation reaches beyond the confines OF
the city in which it is published and
that circulates largely i'll the territory
surrounding the city. This circulation
gives 70 the merchants of the city a
medium through which they eau reach
the people and induce them TO come to
the city TO buy their merchandise. The
value of any newspaper to the commun-
ity in which it is published can be
measured only by its circulation.
The Edwardsville CID Intelligencer
says: "The paper that reaches. the
people is the paper that brings the
business to its advertisers and the whole
town shares indirectly in the drawing
powers of widely circulated newspaper
The fate of every community is more
or less inevitably bound up in its news
paper. If the latter IS public spirited
a persistent boomer and intelligent di-
rector of public opinion it will make the
town 90 in spite of its ever-present con-
tentment.
The opportunities of some towns are
greater than those of others, but within
their possibilities there is no agent that
can accomplish more for their advance
ment than all active and earnest news
paper
The capacity of the local paper for
accomplishing these desirable results is
in a very large measure dependent upon
the support accorded it by the commun-
ity and especially by the business in
terests.
But advertisers should rid themselves
of the notion that this support is III any
degree a work of charity 1t is a square
business proposition. The business man
who appreciates the business side of the
question is the one who wins.
THE live newspaper always gives the
live advertiser value received. '-Stato
