i lease send uie a namplf
° py of your paper. I am think-
ing of moving we.,*, and want to
see what kind of a town you
Uuve." This is the tenor of let
ters received at this office day
after day, from'all parts of the
North and hast, and we suppose
that other newspapers in other
towns have a similar experience.
Men judge.ofa place by the
character of its newspaper, and
if its business men by the
amount of their advertising.
This is particularly the case
with intelligent men seeking a
change of location. They want
to know something of the peo-
ple with whom they propose to
cast their lot, and one copy of
the local newspaper furnishes
all the information they want.
The climate, character of the
soil, etc., are matters that can
be gathered from other sburces;
but as to the amount of busi-
ness, and wether the merchants
are wide awake, stirring and
prosperous, or sleepy, stupid
and starving, comes more aou-
rately from a glance at the lo-
oal paper than from any and all
Other sonrces combined.
. It is not true, then, when one
says it does not pay to adver-
tise, The experience of the best
and most successful business
men proves that it does pay, and
many of the large fortunes of
torday are the .direct result of
extensive and at' the same time
jodicions advertising.
Our city cannot sutnd still; ft
must Icrease or decrease in num-
bers. Whatever of. iucrease we
get must dome mainly by im
migration.- We musthave more
of both consumers and produc-
ers. If we cannot itfdace others
to come the. more en terprising of
thofse we have will go. There
ate ttany ways of bringing peo-
ple Iwre, hone of which should
be negleoted. Among them,
and perhaps the most potent of
all, is to advertise in such a man
ner that when your paper goes
out among those Who are look
ing for a new location, they Witt
see that yon are a live people,
and therefore a good people to
tie to. ThU is one «f the mwins
that shonld jnot be neglected.

Opinions on tho Silver Bill.
The following opinions of the
silver bill "given by the director
of the United Stares mints to a
New York Times reporter, Feb-
ruary 18, is of interest:
I)r. Iiindermani the director of
the United States mints, was
questioned bv a Times reporter
In regard to the capacity of the
mints to fulfill the requirements
of the lilaud silver bill, which
provides that not less than $2,-
000,000 and not more than $4,-
000,0(X) in silver dollars of
4121-2 grains each shall be
coined every month. He thought
that there was little doubt that
the bill would become a law, and
he said that he had consequent-
ly been taking measures in ex-
pectation of its enactment. The
three mints of the United States,
lie said, at Philadelphia, San
Francisco, and Carson City,
would probably be able to turn
out $1,000,000 in the new coins
during the first month aft«tr the
passage of the bill; that in the
second month the number would
probably be increased to $2,000.-
000, while thereafter a maximum
rate Of coinage of $8.000,00<) a
month WQnld probably be reach-
ed. During the first year $30,-
0(X),000 of the new dollars could
be coined. The necessary amount
of gold coinage wonla be con-
tinued, and the subsidiary sil-
ver would also be turned out as
rapidly as hitherto. Between
$5,000,000 and $H,000,000 in sub-
sidiary silver coins are still to
be produced under the otder is-
sued by the- Secretary of the
Treasury during the administra-
tion of President Grant. Two de-
signs have already been made
for the 92-cent dollar. Both are
very pretty, and the few coins
that have been struck in the
mints for the benefit of the Con
gressional committees, are ex
ceedingly attractive in appear

A Wife's Power.—A good
wife is -tot a man wisdom,
strength and courage; a bad one
is confusion, weakness and die*
spair. No condition is hopeless
to a man where the wife possesses
hess, decision and economy.
There is no outward propriety
whlrh can counteract indolence,
extravagance and folly at home.
No spirit Tan long endure bad
ihfiaenve. Man is strong ; bat
his heart is not adamant. He
needs a tranquil mind; and es-
p«ilil>yibLe is. an intelligent
man, with a whole head, he
needs its moral force in the con-
flict of life. To recover bis com-
posure, home, must be a place of
peace and comfort There his
soul renews its strength, and
goes forth with renewed vigor
to encounter the labors and
troubles of life. Bnt if at home
h« finds no rest, and is there met
with bad temper, Jealously and
gloom, or assailed with com-
plaints and censuie, hope van-
ishes, and he sinks iu despair.

find it in any title deeds. . The
man who owns whole blocks of

minute of to-morrow., To:mor-
rOw! It is a mysterious possi-
bility not born. It lies under
the seal of imidnigh^ behind the
veil of glittering constellations.
Eujoy the present, whatever it
may be, and be not solicitous
for the future; for if you take
your toot from the present stand-
ing, and thrust 1t forward to to-
morrow's event, you rare in a
restless condition. ' It is like re-
fusing to quench yonr present
thirst by fearing you will want

The best way to salt Stock Is
to keep a tub'of it where cattle

they are in tlie pasture or ia the
