It is Welly possible that the railroad company would reserve many acres adjoining' our town without having in view the location of ti division and it i3 most unlikely that the officers of the company would state it semi-oflioially that this was the chosen spot of ground unless it was so intended. The people of tho neighboring cities may as well be contented, the fiat has gone forth from head-quarters the day is ours, or will be, which is all the same the star 01 empire twinkles in quiet ecstacy the City by the River Side; hold to your property, fellow citizens, "Now is the Winter of our discontent made glorious Summer" by the happy assurance of gangs of workmen, busy hammers, aspiring smoke stacks, profitable crops and great tide of emigration.

Jodon "Best country journiil I have ever read give the boy a chance." Echo per chance, chance. Mr. Hodges said I have seven hundred acres of land adjoining town, I expect to be a millionaire some day, that newspaper is enhancing the value of my lands I will take twenty-five copies extra, put in an advcrtismeiit to sell some of my property, send the papers away and the editor's dreams shall be sweet." (A voice that's business.) Mr. Hodges Let every nan do according to his interest in the new town." Loud cheers. Mr.

Reeves said: "Let us sub scribe over again and give the institution a boom, the News has been booming us what if wo have sub scribed, the editor can stand it again aud it will not hurt us much some body has to keep the paper up until the town "grows larger." Great ap- lause. Mr. Foster said Gentlemen, in order to get out a newsy paper, the editor has to devote his whole time to the task, nor can he afford time to 1 rum su bscribera we should be sel f- constituted agents and allow the editor to get out his paper. It will never do to depend upon other towns to eupport (only to help) a Little River institution. We must have move home pride aud bo self-sustaining." More cheers.

It was then resolved that emigration was the panacea for all differ ences, for all tht ills that our country is heir to, and that the best method for securing new comers was by ever lastingly showing up our magnificent territory in the columns of the home paper, and torwa ruing several hundred copies to the four cardinal points cf the earth. Before tho meeting was closed, the following resolution was presented and unanimously adopted Resolved That it is the sense of this meeting that we want the country settled up, that wo shall do everthing in our power to indttco emigration to our beautiful country, that we have somebody ebo do the work for us and that we get along as easy and as economically as possible. Also that a collection be taken up and the muui-ficcut sum of fifty cents bo donated to the editor of the Little River. News. Adjourned sine die.

DOWN IN A COAL MINE. The coal enterprise is receiving some attention. Hmcc our last wue we learn that a Mr. Gurbcr is explor ing upon the farm of Mr. Ilife, three miles south-west, and meeting with much encouragement, Mr.

Uurbet is a man of experience and from pres ent indications he is very ful of making a discovery of coal in paying quantity. Mr. ppngg is doing his part toward the good work by repairing all tools that get out of good condition, and we may expect to Lear reports at any time. Jamas rogue, living U'0 end a half mile weit, on section 14, is making excavations and bis labor is retarded thus far in finding cool blossom in great abundance ho Ix-licvei there are three veins of coal, and much fuiili may be attached to Lis predictions, as he is an experienced hand in tho work. In many of the Wilis in the vicinity of Littlo Kiver coal ha been found and their Is every reason to believe that coal can be hud any where in this part of the county for the mere effort to pet at it The depth of the veins makes no particular difference, as engines and other ma rhincry must bo employed in any rase to (mint the coal to tho surface.

The siesiciiy of fuel is (he only draw bark to this country therefore, every effort should bo put forth to supply this market with such a commodity. Keep up tbo interet, prove to the satisfaction of the ouide wotld that we have coal fields here and rapiul and labor shall readily be secured. The unusual reverily of this season has put a damper on building, but just as mi as Winter iclcaws its icy prafji we hicy opect lively times. Kvcral persons have Ixvn here lalrly wlcclii'2 locations.

Farmers should learu wisdom from the past, and in the future instead of lilacing so much strap ami dependence .011 the wheat crop, they should give more attention to stock raising cattle, horses, hogs, sheep and poultry.

Raise more corn, rice corn, rye, sorghum, millet, broom corn, etc. Mixed husbandry is what they must depend upon, not on wheat alone. The extension of tho bianch railroad to the main road, is tho occasion of much rejoicing in the county-seat. The citizens of the metropolis have beeu discontented for gome months and their murmuring has not been without just cause. Like the Future Great, there has been one outlet only aud business is in tMu 5110.

The cxtensiou of tho railroad will open up a market in tho west and Lyons will cnjny a new period of prosperity, a revival of trade nud increased wealth and population. We heartily wish Lyons a full measure of ptwperily, all Little River jmns with us in this prayer, the generous and sociable people of the county-seat deserve good days aud they are bouud to have them. The cry of cold times heard in the hind and many families need the comforts of life, "fis approaching Christmas, the time when the sweet charities are to be distributed, and the poor must bo cased for. Our chnritahly-dispoircd, kind-hearted citizens will Imye opportunity to lend unto the IvA" To thoso who are inclined to make tho 1 au wo would say, be careful in whose hands you p'ueo it, ns many of the applicants arc unworthy of your confidence. Do not -sender your charity promiscuously; as the greater part of the whining hypocritical wretchw who constantly Itfsiego you are in a greet measure undeserving.

Iy exercising an intelligent judgment, your surplus will find its way to those who are actually "in need 'and highly deserving.

We itse before the intelligent reader to say, that we are free from all entangling influences. We have a quill that is invincible in war, but it is now iu the wi vice of Little River and Rice county. Peace lias como to stay, its abiding place is here.

Has not our count been rend awunder with vile vituperative slang, and have we not higher and interests to nerve? We bate! The pulhica! campaign has closed let civil strife U'gouo.
