VOLUME 10.

.1878. THE GLOBE-DEMOCRAT THE LEADING JOUENAL OF THE MISSISSIPPI VALLET. The Globe-Democrat, since Hr establishment in 1876, by the consolidation of the two Republican morning; newspapers of St- Louis, lias maintained an uiiijuealionet place in the frout rank of Western journalism. Its growth in business and iu circulation has been steady aud uninterrupted, and, as ils multitudes of readers will testify, its growtn in all the esaontials of a fiist-clasa newspaper Las kept steady pace with the advancement of its pAtrobugc, until to-day it stands without a rival in the Mississippi Valley or the Northwest as to all (hat the people expect from a that-class journal. Politically, the Globe-Demock.it is and has been Republican in sentiment and oonviction. Believing that the Republican party, by its record in the past and by its pledges to the future, is the safest guardian of the public welfare, and the organization most likely to seoure good government to the people and to protect the rights of all, we have steadily striven for the advancement of its standard in all public conflicts. We have at the saniA time aimed, and shall in the future aim, to bo honest in ot-iticisin aud faithful in record—to express opinions candidly und to tell the truth fearlessly. No cause cun be advanced in the minds of intelligent people by suppressing the truth, or by attempting to color the facts of every day history.-. The proprietors of the GLOBK-DKMtfcRAT can point with prido to (lie record which this journal has made in the past as an enterprising, aciive and energetic collator of current news—political, local and commercial. In this respect they have no rival in St. Louis, or in the West. With a vigilant corps-of reporters in the city, and of correspondents at ail the principal news centers East und West, they' have obtained, without regard to expense, and in advance of all their cotemporaries, the leading incidents of each day’s history, and in many j notable instances they have distanced all Western rivals in the fullness aud detail of I the news thus obtained. | For the fullness and accuracy of its Commercial and Market Reports the UloiieDkmocrat has been especially noted in the past, and; with renewed exertions in this direction, we cifn safely promise to hold in the fntur i the precedence already won.

Scribner’s Monthly FOB 1877-78. Without recalling the excellence of the past, the publishers pf Scribner's Monthly announce, for the year to ooine, the fbllow- # ing paper* I The Picturesque Side of American Farm Life.— This subject will be treated in a series of separata papers engaged from writers who stand in the front rank among Americans, both in qualilisi of style and in keen insight, of nature, Mr. R. E. Robinson, author of a dvuigklful paper on “Fqx-Iluntiffg in New England'' in the January number, will represent .the same section in’this series. John Burroughs whose papers on similar topics have been a highly prized aad. popular feature of Scribner will write of Farm Life io New-York. Maurice Thompson, the peet-nattiralist, will describe the characteristics of Western farming, of which but little lias been written. It is expected that the illustration of tilts series will be of a refined aud typical character, commensurate with the subject-matter. It is thought that no paper or series of papers yet issued iff Scribner will So fully renlize the constant desire of ihb magazine to keep out of tli* ruts, and, both iu text and illustrations, to obtain quality rather than quantity, and to print’fresh, strong and delicate work from oiiginul sources. ••Roxj,”—by EDWARD EGGLESTON (author of “The Hoosier Schoolmaster,” ifco ). This new novel will doubtless be the most important American serial of the year. The first number was published in November, Those wliq have .read it in manuscript declare Roxy to be the most, striking and remarkablo story this author has ever written. It is illustrated by one of the ablest of the younger American painters— Mr. Walter Shirlaw, President of ‘‘The American Art Association.” American Sports.— Some of ths most novel and entertaining of these papers are yet to appear, the scenes of which will he iu the West, the Middle States, the South, New England and Canada. Out-of-Door I'apers.— by John Burroughs, author of “Wake Robin” &c., will contain not only articles on Birds, but on ‘‘Tramping, ’’ “Camping Out,” and kindred topics. Mr. Burrough’s papers will begin in the January number, the first being entitled “Birds and Birds,” and illustrated by Fidelia Bridges.

Architecture of Birds.— Dr. Thomas M. Brewer will contribute four exquisitely illustrated articles on birds’-nests, which every lover of nature will delight in, Dr. Brewer has probably the finest collection of birds’ eggs in the world to draw upon for the illustrations of these papers. The Saddle-IIorse;—Col. “George E. Warring, with whoso excellent work df various sorts our readers are. familiar, contrldutes two illustrated articles oo the horse, lie treats specially of saddle-horses and their use for pleasure and for sport, including toad-riding, fox-hunting aud racing. The nature of the English thoroughbred and that of his Eastern progenitor (the Arabian) are fully considered in relation to those uses. v Saxe Holm. —New stories by this popular writer will be given in early numbers of Scribnek, beginning with “Joe Hale’s Rod Stockings,” to appear in January. This “novelette” chronicles au episof the late war for the Union. “Uls Inheritance.”— by Adeline Trafton, so well begun iu the Midsummer lloliday number, will be continued nearly through the year. It will be found to bo of increasing interest to the very end. “A Knight of Fortune.”—Hjalniar Hjortli Boyeseu’s new novel—will be begun in Scriunf.r at the conclusion of “Disinheritance.” It will reveal a phase of American society undreamed of by most of our readers, an i wijl be certain lo increase tlie reputation of the writer as a muster of English and of bis art. ~ The Editorial Departments will continue to employ the ablest pens iu America, and will include the present udmirabio summary ot English publications. Besides the special articles above enumerated, the magazine will contain l’oems, Sketches, Essays, Reviews, and shorter Stories of the highest character. A largo practical reduction in price is made by an increase iu the number of pages. The Illustrations of the Magazine, in variety and excellence of design and typographical execution, will continue to be in advanoo of those of any other popular magazine at home or abroad. Subscription price, $4.00 a year, payKV«riß’ aitvithro’tirvmor tiny - No club raics or other discounts to subscribers. The Magazine is worth all it costs, and its circulation is increasing in a const nut aud steady ratio from year to yea r. SCRIBNER & C 0 743 Brondwajr, New York.

THE INTER OCEAN. 1878. 1878. THREE EDITIONS. ’ WEEKLY, SEMI-WEEKLY AND DAILY. In making its seventh annual announcement, The Inter Ocean reassures its readers and tile public generally of its faith in tbe Republican patty and its devotion to | Republican principles. Its record during the putt year bus made it more than ever J before tho great representative Republican paper of the oountry. The yalue of such | a paper and its influence for good were 1 never more apparent than during the electoral complications of last fall and winter. The course of Tim Inter Ocean during that trying period won for it tho ndmiration and lasting friendship of Republicans everywhere. As am exponent of true Republicanism, to which the public turned for advice and for encouragement, Tub Inter Ocean stood through out’tho momentous struggle without a peer. There never wns a time when Republicans more needed a journal steadfast and true than now. Never before, in tho history of the country, has there been a period of such political interest and inquiry ns is now in the immediate future. Great questions are to bo discussed and disposed of: embarrassing complications ate to be grappled with : fundamental principles are to be defended. Republican to the pore, The Inter Ocean will giveall possible information on all political topics, and, while treating opponents with the greatest fairness, will maintain its high standing as an earnest and outspoken ad v oca to of uncompromising and unadulterated Republicanism. While Tiif. Inter Ocean stands second to no paper in the country as a political journal; it takes high rank ns an enterprising and thorough-going newspaper. During the past year it has eclipsed all Western papers iu the excellence, completeness, and reliability of its foreign dispatches and letters, and Jms had few equals in presenting in most readable shape general and home news. In every part of the world great events are occuring, with probabilities pointing to more important in tbe future. Never before was a good newspaper so important to both young and old. Iu all that goes to mako a first-class newspaper, The Inter Ocean is not excelled by any publication in tho country. It is a national newspaper, one that will be found useful and interesting to Americans in every part of the globe. While it especially represents the great interests of the Northwest, it is national in its view& and comprehensive in its news gathering. Tub Inter Ocean makes especial claim as a family paper, devoting more attention than any other political newspaper to departments prepared and conducted With the wants of the home and tbe demands of tbe family in view.

The Commercial Department is conducted with great care, and everything possible i 3 done lo make the marker, reports reliable and complete. The Agricultural Department is carefully edited by a gentleman of ability and experience. Tho Home Department is of special interest to tho litotes, iintTis devoted to the practical and useful. To Educational Matters especial attention is given. Believing that.the perpetuity of the republic depends upon the education of the people. The Inter Ocean is the warm advocate of the free . school siyifFnr," 811(1 everything that will improve and extend it. The Woman's Kingdom is a new department devoted to the interests of that largo portion of the gentler sex who, either from necessity or otherwise, desire to devote themselves to some useful occupation or profession, for the purpose of earning a livelihood. It is not for the advocacy of any particular issue, but f»r the general improvement atul elevation if the female character in every department of life. The Question and Answer Department, long a special feature of Tin Inter Ocean, is a valuable encyclopedia of information, and covers as much ground in the course of a year as many of the elaborate works published at such high prices. The Inter Ocean hasMbe largest aggregate circulation of any newspaper published in the Northwest. It is sent to more than 8,600 postoffices, distributed iu every State and Territory in the United States, in all the British provinces, and numerous foreign states and countries.

President Hayes’ annual message was delivered to congress Monday. It js qtlilo a lengthy document and contains some important and some unimportant points in it. Wo have neither the time nor space to comment at length upon it, but presen t our readers with supplements containing it and leave them to form .their own conclusions.

The work of laying iron from Bradford this Way is being pushed as rapidly as possible. About four miles oi' iron have aleady been laid, and it is expected that the tracklayers will rentW the county line this week. The engine will arrive Friday. Already people hre smacking their lips in anticipation of getting a slice of that fatted steer which is in wailing for the barbeerte to be had upon the arrival of the first train at this place.

Read the prospectuses ot “Scribner’s Monthly” and “St. Nicholas” which appear elsewhere in this number of The Union. They are unquestionably tho best magazines published for tho money, and will be clubbed with The Union at the following unprecedentedly low rates: “Scribner's Monthly,” the regular subscription n>rice of which is $4.00, and The Union to one address one year, postpaid, $4.20; “St. Nicholas.” the regular subscription price of which is $3.00, and The Union to one address one year, postpaid, $3.40. Send in your subscriptions.

On another page of this paper will be found the advertisement of “The Nursery,” an illustrated magazine for children, published by John X. Shorey, Boston, Mass. It is an excellent magazine for the young, and is with interesting stories, handsome illustrations, etc., well calculated to furnish amusement and instructio'n these long winter evenings. Arrangements have been made with the publisher which enable u$ to furnish “The Nursery” and The Union to one address one year, postpaid, for $2.10, being a reduction of 50 centß below tegular rates. Now is the time to subscribe.

The prospectus of the Chicago Inter Ocean appears elsewhere in this issue of The Union. We invite a careful perusal of it. The Inter Ocean has, by its straightforward course and unwavering fidelity to the Republican cause, iaken rank with the foremost of Republican journals, and we cheerfully commend it to our readers as a reliable representative newspaper. Its columns contain able and exhaustive editorials upon all the leading questions of the day, full and complete reports of the proceedings of congress, general news summary, market reports, etc., besides devoting a large space to the farm, garden and household, making it in every respect a firstclass newspaper. By special arcFafigfeuiMtt» i ’w Hh the publishers're can furnish tbe Weekly Inter Ooean and The Union one yeat for $2.15, which includes postage.

Arrangements have been made with the publishers of that excellent paper, the Detroit Free Press, by which wo are enabled to furnish it and The Union to one address one year for the low price of $2.25, a very great reduction from the regular rates. The Free Press is one of the most popular journals published and has earned for itself a reputation of which its publishers should feel proud. It is not a cheap paper gotten up to gull people out of their money, but it is a first-class paper, worth twice its subscription price. A person who reads it once will not do without it. It contains interesting stories, sense and nonsenSo, wit and humor, fun for the young and information for the old, and is, in every respect just such a paper as every family in the land needs. It will drive away sorrow and.keep off the blues. It will make homes happy and firesides cheerful. Wherever the Free Press Is there will l be found love, peaee and contentment- It will aid digestion and make rosy cheeks. It will heal the sick and cheer the afflicted. It will comfort the old and bring health and happiness to all. If you are not already taking it, by all means subscribe for it at once. ' x

Bradford.

Bradford is no longer a dead town, but a living, moving entity, her streets thronged with men engaged in constructing the 1., D. & C. It. li.—with men looking for desirable farming lands, and finding them—with men looking for good locations for business. Our hotel is filled with travelers and boarders, and all the boarding houses in the town are filled to overflowing; Our mechanics are crowded with business, und our merchants arc doing more business this fall than they have done before for many years. The grading on the 1., ts.,& C. K. I R. between Bradford and ltensseIsief will be completed in a few days, ties are now being distributed along the track, and they have commenced rails; so you see Bradford will soon be a junction. But we hope the road will soon be completed to Indianapolis and then our “junction” will be metamorphosed into a crossing.

Bradford numbers about 250 inhabitants, has one church building, the Baptist, which iff also used by the Methodist Episcopal congregation, and the Christian church. We have a graded school, with competent teachers, we have three dry goods and grocery stores, one very large clothing and furnishing store, one restaurant, one drug store, one hardware store, one shoe shop, two blacksmith shops, one wagon shop, one hotel and several boarding houses, one meat market, one saloon, two attorneys at law, four doctors, a strong band of “Murphies,” and two railroads. But Bradford needs many other things which we hope will soon be supplied. We need a good flouring mill and saw mill. We need more factories of different kinds. We need more men of capital and brains to purchase and cultivate our rich lands which are now lying idle or only used as herding or pasture lands. We want farmers to come and see these lands for themselves. We want millefs'and manufacturers to come to Bradford, look at her advantages and surroundings and invest their money. —Cor. Monticello Herald.
