The managers of the Odd Fellows colony
inform us that there is a splendid opening
for some individual to start hotel at the
town of Nicholson, in the Odd Fellows col
ony, on the st. Paul & Sioux City railroad.
They have received about four hundred let
ters from members of the order in this coun-
try and the Canadas, expressing an intention
as soon as they can make the arrangements,
to get out of the oyercrowded cities and
towns and make for themselves home in
the country. and wish to join the colony.
Many of them will be here early in the
spring, and if some ore,-an Odd Fellow
would put up building at the town, he
could do a good paying business. Hun
dreds of individuals will be going there to
look at the lands, and they will want place
to stop and conveyances to ride out and look
at the lands. Inducements will be given to
any one who will embrace this opportunity.
There are also good openings for blacksmiths
carpenters etc. There is an opening fol
two or three general stores. Some one start.
ing general store could probably act az
station agent for the railroad company. Who
will apply for these openings? There il
more money in them than going on a s'wile
goose chase to the Black Hills.

Landlord.


The attention of a GLOBE reporter was
called last evening to very peculiar case of
distress for rent. James Hart, plumber,
lives on Cooper street near Tenth. Being
out of employment, he went to Minneapolis
looking for work leaving his wife and poor
children in the house The rent for two
months at $6 per month is now due and the
landlord, in order to compel the woman to va
| cate, has taken off the front door, removed
all the windows, torn down the outbuilding
and ripped up the sidewalk. The GLOBE
reporter found the woman making the best
of the situation when he called last night
but the situation was sorry enough, and the
storm of the night doubtless rendered it still
worse. The name Of this model landlord is
s. P. Lindahl.

No citizen of Vicksbnrg can doubt
the good more railway facilities would
do this city in commercial point OF
view. A railway up Deer Creek would
double the cotton business Of this city.
There is scarcely reasonable doubt OF
this. Deer Greek is long stream that
runs in a meandering way between the
Sunhower and Mississippi rivers, and a
railway up the Creek would bring ev-
cry bale Of cotton to this city. AS it is
now, not one bale in tea, comes here.
A road across Big Black would help US
almost as much, and we can have that,
according 10 the promise Of a capital
let, by simply re.endorsing some Of our
bonds. Here 10 the chance for Vicks'
burg 10 secure valuable railway facili'
lies this year, yet the ciIiz MS seem not
10 appreciate the great Importance OF
the present. opportunity. These two
propositions will be put direct
" 10 the people in good iime'
and we trust that they will dis
play more interest then than they
10 now. Let us suppose, for the
sake OF argument, that nothing is DONE
Where will we drift to? We certainly
have no right to expect an increase OF
business on the other hand, we have
every reason to believe that We would
lose some Of the best trade we now en-
ioy. Gen. Martin has built his road SO
far now that it is making little mon
ey, and il 10 certain that it will de-
Drive US Of some of the best Of our trade
east of Big Black by next Fall and
Winter. Just 50 soon as his road
crosses the Bayou Pierre, we may bid
goodbye to all Of the trade we now get
from east Of the Big Black. The Green
vile road will soon be built to Deer
Creek, and then it will be rapidly ex'
.ended down the Creek. If we make
no efTorls to secure this trade, II will
slso be lost to us. Will some OF our
.itizens who 10 not take sufficient in
;erest In railway enterprises, please
picture 10 themselves the situa'
lion If we lose both the Deer
Creek and Big Black trade
People complain Of hard times now
ont il this should happen, one'third oil
our business houses would be COM
oelled to close up. We ought TO have
mad these railway facilities long ago
out as other towns are now taking
measures to rob US of trade that ought
20 come here, we must work now, OF
suffer immense loss. In this con-
lit!on of affairs, 1t is indeed fortunate
,hat we can have both these roads with
absolutely no rick. One capitalist,
who Is already, fortunately for us, in

Black, if we will give new bonds for
I'D ones; and other gentlemen will
Guild the Deer Creek road, if the city
Of Vicksburg aud Sharkey county will
agree to reimburse them TO reason
sble extent, after the road is COM
gleted. In our opinion the city should
not hesitate one moment to accept

railway facilities that will double our
trade in two years, and increase the
value of our real estate nearly two
millions Of dollars.

WHAT BECOMES OF WEALTH.-A
boot and shoe dealer was hanging in
his store pair Of boots worth seven
dollars. They constitute a part OF
his wealth, and portion of the
wealth OF the world. A man buys
them and begins 10 wear them; by
friction against the pavement, little
particles of the leather are rubbed
off, and thus separated from the rest
of the sole. Every particle that is
thus removed takes out a portion OF
the value of the boots, and when the
boots are entirely worn out, the
seven dollars of wealth which thev
formed is consumed. The wheat,
corn, etc, which was raised by our
farmers last Summer is being eaten
up. No particle of matter is des-
troyed by this process, but the value
which WAS in the grain is destroyed.


As, while men are wearing out
clothing ard eating up food, they are
busily employed in producing wealth
of some kind, the wealth of the
world is not usually diminished by
the consumption, but it is changed.
This applies, however, only to per.
sonaI property; town lots and farms
generally retain their value, but per


sonal property is subject to perpet.
ual destruction snd renewal. As
the several particles of water which
constitute river are forever rolling
away to the ocean, while their places
are being supplied from the springs
and fountains, so the movable wealth
of the world is constantly being con.
sumed to crafty human wants, and
constantly being renewed by the
restless activity Of human industry.

When times are dull wages are,
low. Accept rhe situation and
take low wages rather than to
emain lille. Trades unions are


fashionable among the lazy, who
want more pay for less work. The
hest trades union is union Of
body AMI soul and hard work, for
the price that can be had. If you
cannot get s. for q job, take 81.
If you cannot get 81, take S3, or
s2, or even 81, rather than to do
fYuthing. Every man should be his
own master. He shonld master his
mind, his body, and his will, and do
masterly work to insure better
times. Mind your own business,
anil do not attempt to master
other pcop'e, or control their wages
or their hours Of labor. Earn
something daily, and then at least
one person will see better times.

For so the world hath done,
Since myrtles grew and roses blew;

And soothe where'er we cam

But stop not at the gentle words;
Let deeds with language dwell

Should scatter crumbs as well;

Must lend a helping hand,

TnE WFE's VIcroRY. For half an
