"Keep him dOAli!" This upward struggle which the poverty struck genius has to endure the Kimggle a- gainst prejudice and misrepresentation and want has daunted many ti inlnil, and discour aged many a heart, and has kept inuny a tiinti, formed to be a light in the woild, iu poverty and darkness to the end of his days.

The Way Pur a Town to Inn case ltt BiiMiness, The Ilrst important thing to do in order to build up a trade, in the midst of a farm'ng aud stock raising coiii'imnity, la to furnish a class market for every thing thoy have to sell. The market for their material should be such that whenever a load of any kind of produce is brought in, it is certain to tlnd asule, at the very best pi ice the market will aiioal. The second indespeiisiblu is to be able to furnish all customers vs ho call, with anything in tlie line of trade they may call for, at the lowest pfice for which ft can possibly be sold.

The next point is to keep these fads eoiistnu ly before the people let them know that you are not only selling but buying. If the busl. iiess of a town is to Ua maintained and coin in ualy extended, there must be lively bitsiness men, their slock of jioctls must be auric, they must coutinualy scud out pui'siiasmiis for people to come aud look at their goods, buy their produce at the very beat figures that can te offered, and iu fact convince them thai their town is the place for them to transact their business. Parsons Eclipse. The Intkb-statk, two weeks ago, made the "that it did not want to deal in pt soualltius, but there was a certain county official, that Is liable to get his foot in it If he is not careful." The In run state prides itself with having the grit to i-li)' any crooked ness Iu public olllcials, aud giving it to the peo Wo demand of the writer of that article, to know which one of our county olhVials is guilty of the Imputation reflected upon them by this cowardly piece of journalism? We do not believe the wilier has any jir.t, if he had, he would name the crookedness nnd ihetiuh'y party, and not let the innocent sutler for guilty.

We have a full quota of county oliheis and each one of them are presumed to be honorable men uiitll the contrary appears by proof. It may be the writer, knows of something crooked but we do not believe, without proof, and uulea he duss umw his statement, he should retract it. It, has ever sua our course wheu we had anything to say, to gather the facts in the case, and print them, aud if anyone felt like grlting" the facts, we weie ready. Thus far in our journalism, although we have set forth several lluies the bad thiugs that are now known to all, and ha 1 the grit to say who did it, we deliberately put rth a statement we were unable to p-ove. Vd1 we insist that Mr.

Bur. if he has found any crookedness, shall tell who It was, cither spot the man, orget spotted. This wholesale abuse is a slander on the whole county official corps.
