A petition is being gotten up and signed
by some of the most prominent citizens of
our town, irrespective of party o color, to
Some IWiacoas Why.
We are asked why our subscribers do
not get their papers regularly ft this office?
The only reason we ttuow of. is that the
officials do not delirer them. We mail tb.e
Beacon every Friday morning at 8 o'clock,
or as soon thereafter as the office is open.
It is no fault of ours, are not only sse that
every paper is mailed from this office, but
we have two men to go over tne mailing
list after the mailing clerk has fiuithed
direouug, and these men will make oath
that every paper is mailtd each week.
Now where is the trouble it is not at
the Beacon office. It is at the Plymouth
postofflca, and no whrfe else.
'some of our subscribers discontinue
their paper because they ' can not get it.
Is this justice, either to us or to the pub"
lie?
Some men who rent a private box at tbe
office do not get the paper for three weeks,
aud then get tbeui ail at oace. Some men
get their paper with tbe name toru off.
Why is this doner The explanation we
get from tbe officials is that tbey could not
find the right paper just then, but will look
it up later, and substitute it in the place of
tbe one toru and delivered.
We do not think it just for the officials
at W ashingtou to impose upon the people
iu socb a way. If we are to nave a post-
the industrial development of soma cf the
States, he concludes as follows t
'Tt is a fact not generally understood in
the North that the industrial growth of the
Bombern (states east of tbe Mississippi,
ana especially the agricultural growth, has
been more rapid, mora substantial and
more satisfactory to immigrants than the
industrial growth of the new States of the
West. The climate is more salubrious:
the access to markets is vastly better: the
certainty ox crops is much greater, and the
! . m j i . . ....
variety vi products is many umes mum
plied, f Indeed, if the industrial people who
start from the Eastern States to find new
(homea for their families in new sections of
the country, were intelligently advised of
tne countless advantages the eontb offers
them over the far Western States, the whole
tide of industrial emigration would epeedily
turn from the boasted sway of empire
toward the setting sun and settle down in
the Sunny South. It must be o sooner or
later, and soon at the latest $ and the sooner
it is so, tbe sooner will our migrating in
dustrial people best employ their opportu.

it seems tnat Mr, Swain became involved
in a dispute with some one at Mr. B. F.
Owens' stables where he soon had a clean j
bouse and was using profane language on
the street. Police Tucker appeared 'ftnd

to no avail, then as a matter of duty the
officer arrested him for disorderly conduct.

it was impossible to manage him alone,

aud only resort. Tbe prisoner was then
taken before the Mayor who ordered him
to ue connned. At 7 o'clock tne man was
released and went home, after a fine of
five dollars and costs had been paid.
Mr. Swain is an industrious aud highly
respected farmer and when not under the
influence of liquor is a peaceable man. We
