Society THE TIMES. J. F. McDOWELL, Editor. Columbus, December 13, 1881, ADDITIONAL LOCALS.

If the tax -payers will elect men who will do their duty as assessors, taxes will not be so high next year. Our advertising patrons are demanding, our space, is our only excuse for a lack of our usual amount of reading matter. Mr. T. M.

Phillips, of Smithton, and Miss C. E. Carr, of this county, favored THE TIMES with a a a a a a a a call last Thursday. The Indian Springs Echo, published by D. W.

of the Empire City Echo, is a late candidate for favors in the Southwest. Indian Springs is a new town sprung up in McDonald county, and of course is a watering place. Hope you'll succeed. old boy. Look over Housholder Co's advertisement, and then call in and see them when you come to town.

If you want bargains in the boot and shoe line, there is the place to get them. It is astonishing how low their prices are. They carry a splendid stock of the very best goods. Newtonia, Sunday, Dec, 4, 1881, by Rev. Fair, Mr.

R. S. Gaof Columbus, and Miss Ida L. Bliss, daughter of Rev. S.

W. Bliss, late of this county, but now of Newton county, Mo. may your lives ever be blissful, and may you be prosperous and happy. -In this city Tuesday evening, Dec. 13, 1381, by J.

C. Byrd. Mr. John W. Ayers and Miss Carrie Prine, all of this city.

THE TIMES extends hearty tions to the happy pair. There is no nonsense about these new-married folks. John had prepared a cosy little nest for the birdie before he caught it, and they moved in in a few minutes after the ceremony, and the first thing we saw on Wednesday morning was John going up town for a beef-steak. Wyandotte, Kansas, Friday, Dec. 9th.

1881, Mrs. Sarah Wait, aged 46 years. The deceased was the mother of Mre. Frank Fulton, the wife of the junior member of the firm of Bliss Fulton, of this city, who has the sympathy of many warm friends. -Dec 8th, 1881, Ethel infant daughter of Mrs.

Wellington, of Sheridan township. Funeral services were conducted by Rev. A. Pickering at the Friend's church. This is the second time death has visited this bereaved family within the year, taking first the beloved father and husband, and now the household pet, the sunbeam of the family.

Their many friends and neighbors extend their heartfelt sympathies. Fold the little hands, so waxen, O'er pulseless baby breast, For our little one is sleeping In death's long and dreamless rest. Press the gold-fringed eyelids gently O'er the sunny, trus: ing eyes; Eyes that, closed on earth forever, Open up in Paradise. Vain we question why it happened; How it can be for the bestAsking why those feet so early On the journey needed rest? But. though hearts are aching, broken With the dull, unceasing pain; Though the light of life seems vanished, Never to come back again; Yet, oh, who would wish to call her From the home of light above? Who would ask that God had left her Here to cheer us with her love? Even with our love to guide her In the paths of good and right, Would she still have entered Heaven With a soul go pure and white? -A Friend.

Gleanings from "The Wyandotte Daily Clipper." Wm. Coffin left for Peirce City to-day. There are 65 pupils enrolled at the color. ed institute. Mr, John Mason has just completed his new resideuce.

Services were held at the Institute by Rev. Henley on last Sundey evening. B. Hobson has gone to Labette county to organize a colored Sunday school. The health of the neighborhood is good, and the farmers are plowing for spring crops.

C. T. Dana is teaching our present with an enrollment of 32, and an average daily attendance of about 25-larger than we have ever before had. The pupils of District No. 71 will edit daily paper for the remainder of the present school term, and its columns will found a reflection of the daily news of the vicinity, and original thoughts from shooting ideas of the young.

What Printers' Ink Will Do for a Business Man, Mr. A. M. Peel, of Galena, is one of the most liberal advertisers in the Southwest, and, as a result, he has more customers, and they come from a greater distance to see him, than any other house in the Southwest. His liberal use of printers' ink shows his liberality and public spirit as a business man; besides, he points out to the people just what advantages they will get in the way of bargains, by telling them of the quality of his goods, and the prices for the same.

When people can take up their papers at home and find the articles they want, their quality, and with the prices for the same cheaper than they are in the habit of paying at other places, all laid down before them, the first thing they do when they get to town, if they don't know, is to inquire for the house indicated in the advertisement Advertising pays. Why, people from the vicinity of Pleasant View, Crestlin, Columbus, Melrose, Keelville and Baxter Springs, go to Galena and trade with Peel, simply because he tells them through the papers what he can offer them in the way of bargains. He recently sold several thousand yards of calico at two and a half cents a yard. Ile advertised to sell this calico on a certain day, and it is said the crowd in Galena looked like a Fourth of July celebration or a Greenback meeting. the streets were so thronged with people.

Scribblings from Neosho Township, Justice Morrison is doing a great deal of business. Father Booth bought a lot of nice steers this week Weather pleasant and stock doing fine on the range. The Greenbackers are also getting numerous. Mise Minnie Dilman is teaching the Mt. Pleasant school, and, so far, has rendered satisfaction.

Since the time for killing prairie chickens has expired, some of our Nimrods ought to go to meeting on Sunday This township has three saw mills, one grist mill, three blacksmith shops, two stores and two posioffices. There are some farms changing hands at good prices. Mr. Newbury has a number of good farms for sale, ranging in price from $6.00 to $20 00 per acre, and gives longtime payments The first quarterly meeting of the Melrose circuit of the Protestant Methodist Chureb will be held at the Mount Pleasant school house Saturday and Sunday, the 16th and 17th insts. A quiet wedding in the Mount Pleasant neighborhood on the 4th inst.

The Bartlett brothers make a good quality of corn ineal nt their water mill on the Neosho river. Mr. Chas. Hainer is a good hand to wait on the sick, especially when the surround. ings are pleasant.

Mrs. Logsdon, of Carthage, is visit. ing her daughters, Mrs. Dan Brown and Mrs. Geo.

Whetzel, of this place. Miss Allie Eastham was called home last week from the Territory, where she is teaching, on account of the dangerous illness of her father. Those outbuildings around the Four Mile school house are useless, and an eye-sore to the community. We suggest to the school board that they be cither fixed up or burned up. Mr.

E. H. Robbins, teacher of Four Mile school, has been assigned a part in the Teachers' Re-Union at Columbus, during the Holidays. Mr. is a good teacher, and will no doubt acquit himself honorably before the Association.

Mr. Solon L. Cheney is having some valuable improvements made on his farm on Fly Creek in Neosho township, He now has saw mill in operation, and is making rangements to add a grist mill; and has commenced the erection of a barn 56x110 feet and 30 feet high. The citizens of Four Mile have just cause to be proud of the Four Mile cornet band, which consists of thirteen pieces, and already play a number of tunes that are quite recognizable. Their practice meetings.

which are held twice a week are becoming the most pleasant and attractive features in the neighborhood. SOMETHING ABOUT THE COST OF MONEY. Did you even stop to think? These are times when every one must think. We live under a form of government where each thinking mind is a sovereign-or ought to be. And if he is not, whoze fault is it? Only che fault of those who do not think.

Those who stop to think are not the men who have made this nation a place for the tew to amass millions at the expense of the many laborers; but it is the fault of the laborer who neyer stops to think. It is easy to be a poor man-all you have to do is to work hard and never think. Did you ever think of the value of labor--labor that has made the civilized world then did you ever think that this same labor was a beggar? It made the farms, cities, railroads and all the necessities and luxuries of life, and then begs for enough of the necessities to keep it in existence, while it produces more luxuries. Now, did you ever think why There is a wrong somewhere. Enough of raw material in the United States lies used -because there is no skilled labor to convert it into useful form -to supply all the human race on the western continent with not only necessities but comforts.

Then there are in this same country enough of skilled laborers--unemployed, or so poorly paid by the wealthier who have employed them that they have to live as Beecher recommends, on bread and water, and part of the time minus the bread -to raise products, build houses and convert our raw material into useful matter; yet it lies dormant, and the laborer remains idle or toils on uncompensated. Why is this? Did you ever think? Did you ever think how mediums of exchange might be wade, and at what cost they might be used? If you never have thought, then you should not call those and who have. All have thought enough to know that law makes money; that the intrinsic value in gold, according to the Treasurer's report, is 100 cents for each dollar; that the intrinsic value in silver is 88 cents. Now, did you ever think how we got them into circulation? Well, first, wE are the government, and each sovereign of the government pays his share of its expenses, and that his share is just as great as the value of the property he possesses if the expenses are equally paid; and we all mit that the laborer pays his chare. We first pay 100 cents for the material of which a gold dollar is coined; then we pay 34 per cent.

in gold on bonds which we used to buy the bullion, for 30 years, which is, 105 cents plus 100 cents equal 205 cents. Now, then, the gold dollar is ready for you to give worth of labor or produce for it. Ready, after you have paid 205 cents before it is so you call call it a measure of when you get it into your own pocket. Are you in favor of gold as money? The silver costs 88 cents, on which we print a and that makes it a dollar. The interest on this silver at 31-2 per cent.

for thirty years is 92 cents and mills, plus its cost, 88 cents, which is $1.80 and 4 mills. Now i it is ready for you to earn; complete and ready for you to put into your own vault when you give for it. So you see this "buzzard is of course a good kind of money. Do you like it? Then for the privilege of having national bank notes we pay Interest ou its securitv bonds (one dollar and eleven cents) for each national bank note, which at 31-2 per cent. for 30 years, the lowest interest we could possibly get; and it costs us as laborers to get it ready for circulation, and then give an additional one dollar's worth of work or produce to get this same national bank note.

Do you like that sort of money? The greenback dollar is, by all, confessed to be as good for every purpose as either of the others. He who says it isn't only exposes his ignorance. Well, the government stamps it on paper and issues it the same as it does any other money. The loss of these (when issued direct from the government government bills) more than compensates for the whole cost of putting it into circulation. And all that you have to give for this--the only true medium of exchange -is 100 cents worth of labor or produce.

How do you like this process of getting money 1 into circulation? It is the kind Abraham Lincoln liked. Do you think it is good? If you do, think hew we are going to get it. C. T. DANA.
