It* &***+ A. a SMITH, Editor. THURSDAY OCT. 2, 1879. Ben Butler baa received the norni nation for governor of Massachusetts from four parties. It is hard to tell to wbich.jmrty Beu belongs. It is Africanize the West. Exeollent idea. Why not semi the Negroes as mi nonaries to the hostile Indians? The Okolona Ass hasn’t proved much of a sensation as a lecturer Perhaps if be, the widow Oliver and Rev. W. Q. Gibson together, could get out enough people to bear them to pa; for the kerosene, WE have often wondered wh; the of this oount; will persist io subscribing for papers that are publish* ed outside of their own count;? Don’t ;our count; paper keep ;ou posted as to what is going on.in it? Does it not work for ;onr best interest? Does it not give ;ou market price for your farm produets at your own trading point? Answer the above questions to yourself and then see if you are doing right in taking a paper that is published in some other county, before you do your home paper. ' It is the duty of every farmer tn Locke and Union townships to subscribe for the Nappanee News in preference to any other paper published in the county. It will da you the most good, aod, be more of interest to you than any other. An ezohange says: “We have heard of men in business who were too poor to advertise. If these people persist in such methods of thinking, the; will find themselves too poor for anything. The most judicious investment of money for a man to tell people, through a standard paper, that he to do business. In dull times, an advertisement is a reminder to the buyer of which he will supply as early as he can; it serves to attraot trade, which is always floating around, even in the hardest pf times, and gives the advertiser a chance to bid as low as any one 'else. In flush times, when business is active, advertising makes goods go off, and the purchaser is at a loss to know where to piok up bis supplies. In short advertising at all times is putting money where it will do the most good. Disbelievers in this theory will have faith in its practice after one experience—provided they advertise judiciously.

The pofitieal situation in the state of New York and Ohio, is the subject of mnoh solicitation, and specula* tion by both political parties, as the final result of the election this fall. In both states the candidates for governor were placed in nominatian as representing the straight inflaeaoe and power to start the “boom” of the most available candidate for president in 1880. In the first named state the democratic candidate represents the ‘‘boom,’ of the Tilden element, and his election will be an endorsement of ciphering Sam, of Grammerey park, that will give him the delegation from that state first, last and all the. time. The repub* lican candidate was placed in nomination through the influence of Senator Conkling as a representative of the boom that will tenure that state for Grant in the convention of 1880. John Kelly is Tammany’s leader and candidate, and does not desire abything better than the defeat of Robinson, the democratic candidate, this fall,. Til-: den’s chances for the . nomination in 1880. In Ohio, it cannot be said that Ewing, the democratic candidate for governor, gives any strength to any aspirant for presidential honors in the oount of his election. On the other side, if Poster, the Republican candidate is elected 7 Governor, such a “boom’ would give the state to Sherman in the republican convention, and without doubt, secure him the nomination for the presidency in 1880. If New York should eleet Mr. Bobinson—Tilden'e candidate—governor, then New York and Ohio would again furnish the candidates for president in 1880, as the; didin 1876, with the chances ofsuooess in favor of the Ohio man— the able and officious secretary of tLe treasury—the lion. John Sherman.

yjilG HBORHOOp-NE WB. The old Holbrook homestead located about four miles east of Warsaw, was destroyed by tire one night last week. South Bend seems to be rather a lucky or an unlucky city, as the Register reports from tour to twelve deaths per week, and still they are not all dead. The barn and outbuildings belonging to Hugh M'Gill, three miles west of White Pigeon, was destroyed by fire last Sunday afternoon. Loss about two thousand dollais —Middlebury Record There has only been three papers that came to this offic: the past week but what had copied that local about the woman dressed in mens’ clothes from the Bristol Runner. Ah item of that nature will fly. Albion has again been visited by a fire which oonsumed over r 12,000 worth of property on last Wednesday, The property burned was what was known as “five points,’’ and is supposed to be the work of an incendiary. Georoe Arnold, a man working for John A. Smith, of York township, was bit on the hand by a “blow" snake last Saturday. At last accounts be was all right, although it is said that it is a poisonous reftile. —Qtshen Democrat. The B. & O. road proposes to work out their road tax along the line of the, Chicago division, instead of paying the money into the count; treasury, and have proposed to do so at the rate of i 75 cents on the dollar. This is the way they propose to do it in one of tbo townships of Marshal, county,— New Era. We take the following item from last week’s Goshen Democrat: “The eldest eon of Abner Grant, of New Paris, a lad of 14 years- of age, fell from a tree while gathering nuts last Sunday, and died from the effects of the fall in two or three hours afterward. A boy livipg near Bourbon, suffered a similar accident the same ' day with the same result. Boys, don't go nutting on Sundays, or if you do, don’t climb so high; but if you must climb, hold on and don’t fall." On Monday last Mr. Simon Pollick, who resides near Cromwell, was in company with his wife, on his way to that oity with a load of wheat. By some cause the lady was thrown to the ground and the wagon passed over her body, inflicting it juries from which she died in a few hours. The affair has cast a gloom over the vicinity in which Mrs. Pollick lived, by the people of which she was highly respected.—Milfeed Reflector-. Thx boot and shoe store of J. jL. Wolf, better known as the 'Flag Store,’ came Dear being the soene of a disasterous fire last Monday night, bung avoided only by the timely arrival of night policeman Gore. A kerosene lamp which hung in the front part of the siore, from some cause unknown, exploded and fell on tbe floor making quite a blaze, which attracted the attention of a man who was passing the store at the time and he notified Gore of tbe state of affairs, who was not long in extinguishing the blaze, before it bad done much harm.— Elkhart Democrat. The Auburn Courier says: “One day last week, a sharper visited Mr. John Friedline, who resides in Monroe township, Allen ceunty, and persuaded him to take an agency for a horse hobble for which be signed a note for $5. Tbe hobbles were to be sold for 92 eaoh, 91.20 of which was to be the agent's profit. A few days after the note was given, it was offered for sale io Decatur, the face of the note calling for 9500 instead of 95, Two individuals from the greenwood shade of Olive township attracted considerable attraction oo Main street, yesterday afternoon, in their efforts to mend a broken headstall on one of their bones. Both were so drunk that they couldn’t see a hole through a ladder, and each thought be was master of tbe situation. In the course of an hour, they succeeded in gathering np the tsngled ends with twine, and started on their way rejoicing —Elkhart Review. - “We don't hardly believe that there are any two men in Olive township that would get in such a condition, unless, probably it might be, that they drank nothing else but Elkhart whisky and it is said that that is enough to lay the Devil out, Two South Benders were out bunting in the vicinity of Woodland, and they saw a squirrel which they sup-

posed was'in tbe aot of running from a tree. They both fired at it. It did not run, and on coming to the spot they were surprised to find that they bad shot at a dead squiirel which an eight-year old son of James Brown was oarrying over his back. His father had killed ihe squirrel a lew minutes before and the boy was sitting down against the trunk of a tree to rest. Thp boy’s back and face were pretty well peppered with shot, but owing to the distance and tlm small siz: of the shot no great harm was done, the shot barely penatrati£gjffiej>kio^ What is the matter with the Garret Herald? The last number that came to this office was only an impression of the type without any ink on them. Bro, Powell, if you a e short of ink, let us know and we will send you enough to get out a readable paper for once. Sponge your rollers ard unscrew the ink fountain. „ The Napppnee News claims quite a circulation. It is folly to claim a circulation greater than any other paper in the county since you know nothing of it, —Middhbury Record. We have all that we claim, too. The NEWS-has a circulation of thirty-eight quires, and if any of you cafi crawl over that, we’ll cave. ' OPINION CP A. r. STEWART. It was once asked of A. T. Stewart, by a very old merchant, to explain the fact that, being very widely known and very long established, what need had he of advertising. He considered the question for a few moments and observed: “Competitors aro springing up in every part of New York, and apparently doing a prosperous business. Now, if my facilities were universally recognized or aeknowleged, as you say, intelligent buyers would always give me the first preference. To procure the first preference from discriminating purchasers is the sole motive of my newspaper advertising.” —American A sacks at 82,50 per dozen at Charpie & Fluegel’s. B. & O.
