Last week’s Gazette contains
a well written and sensible editorial concerning the costs, etc., of running a
newspaper, and we want to add a short chapter, as follows: Nobody expects a merchant to give away his
goods just to prevent some one else from selling, and if one or two did start
in giving away goods the public would not expect the old-established men, who
had been years in the business, had built up a trade and were responsible for
their contracts, to follow suit and give away their goods also. Herein the newspaper business is different
from any other. If one editor gives away
his paper and gives his advertising space for little or nothing, it is taken by
the public as a matter of course and a proper thing to do, and every other
publisher is expected to do the same thing.
We recently published a five-inch advertisement eight weeks and rendered
our bill, charging one dollar per week, thinking that we had put the price down
very low; the advertiser was astonished and tho’t some mistake had been made by
us, as the other papers had only charged four dollars each for the same work.
Among the new enterprises
contemplated at
An Exchange says that there
is a growing restlessness among the young farmers of this country. Not content with their situation, they begin
to look for a better and fairer land as soon as they arrive at manhood. The old farm is left behind for a cattle
ranch, an orange grove, a cotton plantation, a great wheat farm or for the
factory or store in the great cities, and the happiness and heart-felt comfort
of early life on the farm is forgotten.
But the chances are that the young man will see his mistake sooner or
later and heartily wishes himself back on the old homestead. No class of men should become so attached to
the land which constitutes their home as a farmer, for he not only lives upon
it, but food and drink comes to him from it and he learns to read each foot of
its surface as men learn to read books.
His children are born upon it, they grow up to manhood and womanhood
receiving health and strength and the nourishment of their bodies from it, so
that they verily partake of the soil and it becomes a part of them. Young man, stand by the farm, whether it be
in the East, West, North or South, of this grand country. It has been a friend to you in the past, and
will still continue to provide generously for you if you will give it a chance.
Gov. FRANCIS is receiving
some adverse criticism for appointing U.S. HALL on the School-Book
Commission. We have it from a circular
letter, dictated by the Governor, that Mr. HALL was appointed as a
representative of the farmers, and if that numerous class of citizens is not
entitled to a representative on the board, we would like to know the reason
why. It can not be said that Mr. HALL is
not a true or proper representative, for he has held the position of State

Whereas, a convention of
laborers, largely representing the union, met at Cincinnati, Ohio, May 12th,
and, after due consideration and consultation, agreed on a platform of
principles representing the foundational class labor; and,
Whereas, the principles
annunciated at Cincinnati we believe to be right and just and patriotic, and if
the platform were crystallized into national law it would fully represent the
good of the greatest numbers, which is American in its essence; and,
Whereas, we believe all good
men, who wish their country’s welfare, should unite on the People’s platform
and never falter until it wins, therefore be it –
Resolved, that Grubville
Union, in regular session, indorse the People’s platform and pledge ourselves
to support it in every knowable way.
Resolved, further, that we
request the Journal of Agriculture and the four county papers printed at
V.P. CARNEY.

BRIGGEMAN, of near Kimmswick, died on the 12th of July of
consumption. She suffered for years, and
left two small children to the care of their father. She was buried on the 18th at the

in their bereavement.
Dr. SAPPINGTON, of near
Maxville, had his fish pond drained of all its fish last week, by some St.

Rumor has it that the parties were invited to go fishing at TenBrook’s
lake some day, but the friends came unexpectedly and in his absence, and seined

Bonne Terre, telegraphed down to Constable WILSON and had him arrested. Mr. WILSON captured him on Wednesday and the

J.C. LEE was released from
custody last Friday morning, having done penance for his crime, i.e., trying to
start a dentist’s office on borrowed tools.
LEE says he is not very well versed in the science of pulling aching
molars, yet his ambition to qualify himself in that particular line would have
been commendable but for the fact that it exceeded all proper and legitimate
bounds of propriety. LEE left on
Saturday, to look for work, which we hope he may succeed in finding.
The Sunday School Convention,
to be held at Hematite on the 27th and 28th, is a union
affair, intended to embrace all the Sunday schools of the county, whether
denominational or otherwise, and if all the schools can not be represented

not already forwarded a statistical report of his school, should make out one
at once and mail it to A.F. SLAWSON, Secretary,

Pevely, July 18. – The voice
of prohibition still cries mournfully, inflaming he minds of the people against
the rights and privileges of a class of citizens, who obey the laws and still
retain their freedom, agreeably to the
way they understand the constitution of this great American government. It is a plain prohibitory move – a move to
deprive the individual from exercising the rights of his freedom. The morality of their teaching is not known
absolutely to be practiced among themselves.
Like unto this proverb: “Some
blow bubbles and others burst them.”
They are making bubbles, which will burst them in the end. Pevely’s saloon door has been thrown open in
compliance with the law, the proprietor is doing a legitimate business, and the
people have an undoubted right to patronize him, regardless of avocation or
moral belief. Yours truly, G.W. MANESS.

~Obituary~
Died – Near Byrnesville,
He was sick for quite a while
and confined to his bed about six weeks, and bore his ailment with the greatest
patience. Deceased was a good Christian,
kind husband and a good father. He
leaves a family, all grown, all of whom were with him at the time of his death
and a few days prior. We extend our
heartfelt sympathy to his family.
When I’m taken from this
world of sadness,
With what joy I’ll seek the
skies!
Jesus, I’ll hasten to Thy
arms with gladness –
Heaven is all I see or prize.
Quickly depart – cruel
moments hasten!
Shall my exile ne’er have
end?
When shall the sorrows cease
my heart to chasten? –
Jesus, soon They summons
send.
Heaven has no sadness, sorrow
or sighing;
There I’ll mourn and weep no
more,
There is no grief, no
sickness or dying,
On the bright, unfaded shore.
How long is this valley of
tears
Shall I linger and exile from
thee?
O! when from dangers and fears
That surround shall my spirit
be free?
When death shall release me
at last
And my soul from earth wing
its way,
When the dream of this life
shall be
Past
And I’ll awake in Eternity. -A Friend.

good rain reached us last Tuesday, and another is badly needed; corn and

Judge SECKMAN is stacking
wheat, running three teams. He is a man

Blackberries are ripe now,
and you can see all the girls and boys out picking them for the market. The price is low, ranging from 35 to 40 cents
