March S. 1879.
These are pi pine days for the
small boy and also for the small
girl, for no sooner has Thanksgiv
ing gone than Christmas looms in
sight with all its promise of gifts
and good things to eat.
Some people seem busier than
they are and that is often very
true in business matters. It is not
the fussy, jump-around man that
makes a success of business, but
the man who calmly and shrewdly
plans and acts* and that kind of
man is quick to see the value of
printers' ink in pushing his_?busi
ness.
Thahksgiying Day is over for
this year, but the thankful spirit
ought to continue and show itself
at every opportunity, and of op
portunities there will be an abun
dance before the next Thanksgiv
ing Day comes round. Some folks
profess to be thankful when the
annual day comes and then put
their thankfulness into cold stor
age for a whole year, but then
such folks are not really thankful
?they only tbihk they are.
It is to be hoped that the inter
^ state commerce commission will
not be misled by.those railroads
that are clamoring for an increase
- of freight rates. II the roads feel
that they are not making a fair
i profit let tbem cut down a lot of
useless expense and show more
economy in management. At
present with many roads there is a
lot of wastage of material. The
prevention of that wtih the cut
ting out of passes would mean
great saving.
Wben one it knocked down by
adverte circumstances he has no
right to stay down and whine and
murmur because of his hard ex
perience. Let him get up and
"play the game" and not expect
life to be without its hard knocks.
The player on the football ground
d?>es not grumble and throw up
the game because he gets thrown,
has his clothing soiled and meets
with some cuts and bruises. Neith
er should the man who faces life's
conflict. Let him plfy the man
for all he is worth. Only thus
can men win. ?>
There is but little danger of this
country indulging in war over
Turkey or any other country so
long as those countries behave
themselves in their relatons with
the United States. Those jingoes
who would make every little diffi
culty a pretext for going to war
. - may rest assured that this country
is. too level-headed to do that.
Calmness of judgment and patience
are usually sufficient to smooth
out difficulties and keep the peace.
The United States does not go
about with a chip on its shoulder
inviting other nations to try to
knock it off.
' In the old bar^ial day? of Eng
land the nobles used to engage in
private war at their own sweet
will Apparentlyjwe have private in
our own couptr^, even if it is war
not carried on ih the style of olden
times. Statistics show that owing1
to the deplorable habit of carrying
revolvers and shot guns thousands
of lives are snuffed but every year
4 as men shoot each other in fits of
anger. And the worst of it" is
that the evil is increasing, especi
ally in the large cities. It is a fact
that the number of homicides in
this land in the course of a few
years equals the number killed in
" our civil war, and the distressing
thing about it is that it creates so
little comment.

If every man who lived in a
town was a booster for |hia- town,
a fine results could be seen. Every
citizens owes it .ta liis town to
speak well of it and to encourage
every movement which tends to;
ward progress. A united commun
ity is one of the greatest assets
that community can have, especial
ly if united on progress. If you
have recently moved to another
town, it is your duty to take an
interest in and help that town, to
set your shoulders to the wheel of
progress and help push. No com
'munity wants a dead citizens, a
knocker or a pessimist.. The kind
of citizens who never sees any
good in his home town, who speaks
slightingly of efforts put fourth
for its welfare, who tries to down
every good movement started is an
undesirable citizens, a drag on the
Community. If a town is good
enough to boost. If one has made
a choice of his home town, he
should eertainly do- bis part to
make that town a hve centre.
The Union meeting at Republi

cular. A large crowd from here
attended every da.v and alt report
