There seems to be a general impression among railroad men that it is unlawful for them to carry letters. This is an error. The law expressly says that all letters inclosed in stamped envelopes, if the postage stamp is of a denomination sufficient to cover the postage that would be chargeable thereon if they were sent by mail, “may be sent, conveyed and delivered otherwise than by mail.” As a matter of fact, Wells, Fargo & Co. carry hundreds of letters into San Francisco daily, and have been doing so these thirtyfive years past.—Hartford Courant.

Jovial, good hearted A. McCoy, or Uncle Mac, as he should be called, made many a poor family happy on Christmas day. Saturday he sent to the homes of the poor of the town forty or fifty large roasts of beef from Bushey’s prize steer—meat which sold at 15 cents a pound. The roasts were large and the cold and blustering weather of Christmas day was unnoticed when the needy poor* sat down to their Christmas dinner. A kinder heart than Mac’s does not beat and no person need go hungry as long as Uncle Mac is around.

They are, first, thdse who go out of town to do their trading; second, those who oppose improvements; third, those who prefer a quiet town to one of push and business; fourth, those who imagine they own the town; fifth, those that think that business can be done slyly and without advertising; sixth, those who deride public spirited men; seventh, those w T ho oppose every movement that does not originate with themselves;eighth. those who oppose every public enterprise that does not appear to benefit them; ninth, those who seek to injure the credit of individuals.

The proprietors of the iron foundry at Mt. Ayr, referred to elsewhere, were in town Wednesday and seem anxious to build the foundry here if our citizens will give them any encouragement. It is a small affair, their capital being limited, but at the start will work from five to twelve men. The foundry was started last fall and has been kept busy ever since. T hey cast two days out of the week and have all the work they can handle. This week they are working on castings from Goodland. For SSOO bonus and four lots they will come here. They prefer the land near where the new threshing machine factory is located. If located here the foundry will do the casting for the threshing machine factory. They propose to put up a building 40x150 feet. As the bonus asked is small and as lots can be bought in that vicinity very cheaply, it might prove a good thing for the citizens to thoroughly investigate the matter.
