A Suggestion From the Country On Community Welfare.

The following suggestion eame too late to be used in omneCtion with the other views about the 'heeds of Rensselaer, and is here given separately. Other views will be presented within a few days. Please try to think of something thait you would advocate for the welfare of the Community if you were editing a newspaper. The suggestion follows: ‘My view for the benefit of Rensselaer is for our live merchants to handle the products of the fertile regions Surrounding our city and thtfe encourage the producers to spend their money at home instead of dealing with mail order houses. Instead of shipping in an inferior grade of products, why not cut orit the middlemen and buy the good, fresh stock right off the farms near home?"—Mr®. S. L. Jordan.
