The regular statement of the Maui
VOC State bank appears again in print
and is flattering report over the
previous one. The popular cashier, A.
j. Schneider, and his assistant, are to
be congratulated on this fine showing.
They are doing good deal for the in
stttution. They enable us in Nauvoo
to see ourselves as others see us, and
the reflection is good. They have
nailed the sordid lie that there Is
no sentiment in business. They have
shown that the relationship between a
city and it's territory has fine attrl-
butes as well as the facts Of buyins
and selling, borrowing and lending.
Where business is honestly conducted
and by that we mean successfully
conducted-there are many develop
ments under the general head OF az.
commodation. AS between city anal
a territory this is just as true as it is
between ourselves right here as GUS
toners and merchants. Indeed. the
territory and the city are only the
customer and the merchant multiplied.
The same principles of fair dealing
and consideration apply in the larger
relation as in the smaller, with the
same result, namely, good will. In
practically every business, good will
is an item of substantial value. That
Nauvoo has built up splendid good
will throughout its territory has been
proved finely and conclusively. Wheth-
er or not it was known before, 1t Is
known now. And it is known every
where. During the existence of their
bank in Nauvoo, this city has been
given advertising which money could
not buy; advertising which only the
genius Of fair dealing could have de-
vised Nauvoo lists the good will Of
it's territory as one of its priceless as
sets.

A fellow has just naturally got to
follow his bent, we heard man say
the other day, for there are just as
many fellows that have out-talked ev-
erybody else and got to the top as
there were fellows who have sue
ceeded by sitting tight and not saying
darned thing.
The heavy Ice floating down Lake
Cooper several days ago carried part
Of an island with 1t on its downward
flight. The island was just below
Nauvoo and the trees on 1t were
moved like grass and lodged in diff

Some of the Iowa brewing COM
panies are establishing cold storage
