Yes, an investment, a paying investment that earns money while you sleep. Repu- tation gained at the cannon’s mouth may be a ‘‘bauble,’’ as Shakespeare says, but ‘‘Repu- tatlon’’ in the commercial world is a vine-time winner. If a man could live a thousand years and avoid the cost of life in- surance he could afford to wait for the world tocome to him, but as it is, he must be brief and busy to attain saccess. He needs all available helps to pro- mote bis business and not the least of these is advertising, No msn can make a living buying his own goods and selling them to himself, He might turn bis stock over pretty rapidiy, but the war and (ear would quickly impoverish him, — [[oterstate Grocer. eee Tue loss of 160,000 square miles of territory and nearly 15,000,000 of inhabitants will have a tendency to cause Spaniards to ‘‘Remeurber the Maine.”’ Tu people of thi thoroughly interested in territoria) ‘ -—pansion that the advocates of a 16 to 1, free silver currency will have a hard time getting even u bearing. ‘Tue reversal of the Dreyfus case by the court of cessation in Paris is a triumph of justice over public opinion and the military despotism that now threatens the permanency of the French republic. Ir was one of the ironies of fate that Col. Geo. E.

Tus proposition of the council committee to pay Ruberts & Co, $575 to settle fn full all their claims against the city for damages for non- fulfillment of contract was eminently afsir offer. As the aforesaid firm proposes to sue for their full claim of $1,475, it is to. be hoped that the city will make a most determined re- sistance. Asa matter of justice, it is doubtful whether Roberts & Co, are entitled to one cent of damages. They & all about the present bonds, avd they well knew that they would not be legaliy refunded, It is most evident that they presumed on being able to hold the city to the al- leged vontract to refund the bonds by appeals to popular sentiment. Koowing 2s well as they do the re- y that attaches to individ- ‘uals contracting with s corporation, | , aod especially a municipal corpora- tion, it will not be at all surprising if ~ the threat of Roberts & Co. to sue ana it should gow let our city attor- Se aR rie Re be congratulated for having been one of the first counties in the state to bay-up the turnpikes and give the people free gravel roads. It has been demorstrated that it was a good move. ‘The city pays two-thirds of the taxes of the county, it is being reimbursed by ‘the latge number of farmers who cometo town daily and make their purchases; there are more farmers on the streets now every day io the week than formerly on Satur- day, It was a good move by reason of the good country roads we have; itis a fact that most of the roads outside of the city are better than the strects of the city. Judge Tully and the last council deserve credit for the condition of affairs, both having been untiring in their effcris to secure free gravel roads. Cop- tractor George F. Barnes deserves credit for the splendid condition that he bas put the roads in, and the county board of magistrates deserve credit for their able and economical management of this branch of their daties. Let the good work continue as good roads will build up the county quicker than any other im- provement that can be made, From the large number of wagons that are seen daily loaded with lumber and building material wending their way to the country our farmer friends ev- idently are keeping up with the march of prosperity and improve- ment.

The work done on the sewerage this month is very gratifying. Al- though there were thirteen days on have been excavated during the month 10,000 square feet.

Crazy Swede’s Hunt for Gold and What It Led To. “Mining regions can turn up more peculiar facts and romances and su- perstitions than any other localities in the world, for the reason that all classes and conditions of men bump elbows with ove another in a boom- ing mining camp,” gaid N.
