Among the branches of business which
ottehl to he established here and would
certainly pay, are a woolen mill, a small foundry, a large fruit country, a good
butter, and cheese dairy, a tiling factory, a handle factorv. a good broom factory,
a good pottery, a general produce, dealer, who would pay cash for farm produce
of all kinds in any quantity; another
flour mill might possibly be made to pay
also, as over 50,000 bushels of wheat wore shinned from Jasper last
year which it seems to u might have bepn made into flour here with
profit, and the manufactured products
shipped. It is probable, too, that a merchant with sufficient capital to carry a good stock of any single line of goods, would be able hy his larger assortment of that line, and consequent lower purchases, to secure enough trade from the general stores abounding in the country to make it profitable but this would be an exnerimcnt. while the others may be

you are seeking a location, come and be

"Whoa, Dar, Ben HftprlsonJ"
Mrs. S. S. Co, who accompanied her
husband or his tour of the Northwest,
tells a etory which the disgruntled colored republicans are passing along with Treat relish. Mrs. Cox said that while
visiting the Yellowstone park they employed a colored man named William Allen to guide them around the park. William was the possessor of a mule of extraordinary friskiness, and a great part ot his time was spent in remounting the mule, which threw him from the saddle at frequently recurring intervals. William would jerk the mule's head on such occasions and advise the animal wtih "Wlma. dar. lien Harrison ! Doan

This waa repeated so often that Mrs. Cox
asked William why he caned tne mine Ben Harrison. "I hab called dis mewel Ben Harrison eber since de foth of March laeV said William, "h-canse he's allers throwiu' de colored people." Familiar witk tke Sitoject. UavUlrala fin witnetsl Do VOH kHOW

The Farmers Hard Up.
The New York Farmers' Advocate says : "A prominent local merchant who has lately solicited from his customers settlements of store accounts, informs us
that in a single day he took of them
notes amounting to 1,700, iu addition to
the cash iu baud they nad to pay, which
was exactly 11.85 1 This is a natural re
suit of twenty-five cent wool, ten to twenty cent potatoes and apples, forty
cent onions, three ceut cabbage, Ac, Sen., over against thirty cent coffee,
eight cent sugar, "protected" Iron, wool-
ens, axe, ana a general a per cem. lanu steal from them. This thing is to run
four vears more.' certainly, lor the peo
pie have so voted. When theee and like
notes will be paid, otherwise than with
the farm itself, the Lord only knows, for each succeeding year wilt bring its
own expenses, and, as a consequence, an
increased amount of outstanding notes and unsatisfied mortgages against these
farmers and their homesteads. 1 bus are
they experiencing the protection that the
wo r krives the lamo. ii toey coum
buv their supplies on the same low ke
that thev are compelled to dicker oil
their own surplus products, it would
not make so much difference with them,

thorn, tbe government steps in to uphold
prices for and to guarantee proms, ana larire nrofits. to certain favored classes,
and to make the noor. foolish, tax-rid
