There are times when purse strings

ton of a public nature calling for con-
tributions. Men will talk of their past
contributions, of the failure of this and
the other project, and will refuse to
pay money for further plans which
they say will not bring money to their
pockets. There are some of these men
to be found in every community, Just
as there are small potatoes in every
hill But when this condition becomes
general, when men to whom the com
munity has right to look for IA slight

No town, county or community will
ever prosper, to any great exteat, if
there is division of strife of any ma
ture. People in towns should strive to
help each other, for in helping others
You invariably helpyourself. There is
no man that cannot assist in the
growth, prosperity and development of
his town. However small his influence
it has its effect. Opposition is the life
of trade and merit wins. No town will
prosper and grow where lack OF en-
terprise and push on the part of its
citizens is felt The true motto of each
and every citizen of town is and
should be to assist and help your
neighbors, encourage business of all
kinds don't fear any danger in gorg-
ing the market in this line), do all you
can and encourage all in the matter of
improvement in making the town at
tractive and giving it a home-like APP
pearance. When this is done people
from distance will form a good
opinion of the place, and it will be an
indncement for them to locate with us
and become permanent and substantial
citizens.

During the fiscal year 500 individuals
were indicted by Federal grand juIies
on charges of using the mails to de-
fraud. OF 1876 brought to trial 1s4 were
convicted. The chief inspector of the
postoffice department. from whose re-
port these figures are taken, intimates
something like S77 100000 was coaxed
from the pockets of gullible citizens by
frauds of the sort that fall within the
province of the postal authorities be-
cause the swindlers make use of the
mails. Our community has not been
exempt. We do not know just how
many have been duped because when
one is thus swindled they are apt to
keep it secret. Were il not for the
vigilance of the postoffice inspectors
and their energy in running down the
swindlers who use the mails in this
business we dare say the takings of
these sharp-witted gentry yearly would
equal the annual appropriations of a
billion-dollar congress. Swindles as
ancient as the spanish prisoner
scheme and the ''green goods" game
exposed times without number-still
foster their 5ictims by scores.

There are mighty few young people

and naturally about all they find up

novels which always end before the

leave out the chapters that tell how
the husband, finds the rent and the
wife the hired girl. But if there's one

The oak is in TIE middle of the for

by trees that shelter and shade it, runs
up tall and sickly; put away from it its
protectors and the first blast VIII over
turn it. But the same tree growing in
the open field, where it is continually
beat upon by the tempest, becomes it's

compelled to rely on his own resources
forms an independence of character to
which he could not otherwise have at
tanned. Therefore prefer rather to
climb up hill with difficulties than to
roll down with inglorious ease.
