“FORESIGHT AND THRIFT.”
By reference to the files of the Eu
teiprise it will be found that about
this time last year something was
communicated to your paper concern
ing the public roads of Newton coun
ty and addressed to the people.
You may remember —or you may
not —that this writer proposed that
we issue bonds to raise the money for
putting our roads in the best shape.
1 now append to this what the Farm
Journal, of Philadelphia, says in eon
necti -M with ti smrg stion fr an one of
its ■or -p i l tit- f. i e fi.-st is th
suggestion, the other is the statement
“if there were a system devised hy
which our main wagon-io:ids could be
macadamized it Would save our far
mers thousands of dollar?." —Lindon.
“The system was devised long yeais
ago. It is simpiv a question of fore,
sight and thrift. The road district in
which I live has in the past twenty
years paid 830,000 iu road taxes. If
bonds for $20,0.i0 had been issued at
the beginning of this time, and the
money properly expended in niacad
utilizing the roads, the same amount
of taxation would by this time have
paid the bonds, and kept, the roads in
repair, and now we should have the
good roads without added cost, and
be ready to reduce our rate of taxa
tion hy at least one half.”
Yours for “foresight and thrift,’
Jno. F. Bonnell.
THE INAUGURATION.
The agony is over and Gen. Harri
son has been inaugurated President
of this grand and glorious Union. At
11 a. m., Monday, in company with
President Cleveland he entered a car
riage at the executive mansion and
drove to the capitol where the oath of
office was administered at noon. In
his inaugural the President referred
to civil service, the surplus, protec
tion, education, etc. He said the
country’s growth was not now limited
to territory, population or wealth.
Educational facilities had been enlarg
ed, influences of religion multiplied
and the virtue of temperance held in
higher estimation.
He said there was no reason why
the cotton-producing states should
not have led or walked abreast with
the New England states iu the pro
duction of cotton fabrics. Their mill
fires were lighted at the funeral pile
of slavery. Honest party service, he
said, would not he regarded as a dis
qualification for public service, neith
er would it serve as a shield of official
negligence. All applicants for office
will he treated with consideration.
The treasury surplus, he said, is a
serious evil, and it would be the duty
of congress wisely to forecast extra
ordinary demands and ordinary ex
penditures, and so adjust our revenue
laws that no considerable annual sur
plus will remain.
We have no longer states that are
only planting states. The cotton
plantation will not be less valuable
when the product is spuu in the coun
try town by operatives whose necessi
ties call for diversified crops and cre
ate a demand for agricultural products.
In conclusion, he did not mistrust
the future of the country, and that
no political party could long pursue
its advantage at the expense of public
honor or by rude and indecent meth
ods, without protest and fatal disaf
fection in its own body.

laundried—the old reliable and best

ADVICE TO GIRLS.
1 Communicated. February 27, ISSjI,
Allow an experienced mother to
| call your attention to some of the
great errors made by your inexperi
ence and thoughtlessness. Now, deal
girls, many of these errors and troub
les may he avoided hy you, if you
will only heed my kind admonition.
Nearly all girls grow lip with the
idea 111111 marriage is the aim and end
of their existence, We see it fully
verified in their actions, such ns neg
lecting their education to seek the so
ciety of dudes, gamblcis and drunk
ards, ere they are lb yeurs of age,—
Why, girls, you were created to he
sought after. Al! young men, wor
thy of living caught, like modest
girls Don’t get alarmed about being
an “old maid.'’ It npj-ciis to me
any gentleman of good judgment,
who desires a wife of culture, refine
ment ami education, would not desire
a girl uu.lcr twenty. The great num
ber of ill-assorted marriage* have
started wise, prudent girls into tak
ing advantage of the many avenues
now open to women, with the neces
sary stamina ami gifts, whereby they
can gain a comfortable livelihood;
and there is no longer any need for
them to rush into a uiatrim >ll al alli
ance that is distasteful to them on the
pretext of securing a home. Any girl
with sufficient energy, resolution and
self reliance can earn 11 living in some
honorable way ; and all decent, re
spectable work is honorable to those
who do it the best they can, and who
show by their own acts and lives, that
it cannot be otherwise. There are a
great many homes where life seems a
continual struggle with poverty, and
where children are denied proper ad
vantages ami where there seems little
to make life enjoyable ; yet many no
ble spirits from such surroundings
have made themselves a name and
fame. The majority are generally on
the other side and too many have all
the hopefulness and ambition crushed
out of them in the struggle, and sue-j
cumb when und'r more favorable cir j
cumstames the record would have
been different. It is no wonder girls
c ailing from such homes prefer to
work for one : lone Again how many
wives can you sum up in your list of
acquaintances who toil and drudge
from early dawn until midnight hour,
who barely have “the stall' of life,”
not to say anything about raiment for
the body. Look at the girls and ‘old
I maids’ who can readily earn from for
ty to sixty dollars per month for only
six or eight, hours labor. Girls, this
is c> rtaiidy a great argument in favor
of you prefi rring to work for one.
Girls, join bands, and work with the
temperance element. It is striving
bard to save women from untold mis
ery—-women who were once as young
and hopeful as any of you. Bad
habits are poor recommendations.- —
Many men around you spend money
! on liquor, tobacco, and in other ways
that should lie given to their family
necessities. But, girls, if you will
wed, and you will to the end of time,
for ’tis your natuie so to do, let me
say confidently, take the same pains
to prepare yourself for the new life
yon are about to enter, that you would
to fit yourselves for any other respon
sible position. There are strange ups
and downs in life, and it is wise to
prepare one’s self for any possible po
sition. Every girl should aim to mas
ter all the details of housekeeping.
Take pride in it. Better make your
self proficient while you have little
else to occupy your time. My own
dear mother strictly adhered to this,
with her daughters, notwithstanding
it was in the days of slavery. It was
strange to me, as we had so many ne
gro cooks, and I often asked her why
she desired me to acquire all knowl
edge pertaining to the culinary art,
and her reply was, “How will you be
a competent instructress, or a judge of
what is a good cook ?” Sure enough,
when I married I went off into a land
of strangers, bad to keep a boarding
house with all kinds of boys morally.
How many times my heartfelt thanks
went to my judicious mother, I can
not enumerate. I tell you, girls, the
knowledge of all domestic work will
help you wonderfully if circumstan
ces require you to do the managing
and work of a household. It may
make easy what might otherwise be
a source of heartache and dissension.
Every girl should learn some good
trade ; it is as necessary as that every
boy should fit himself to make a liv
ing without regard to circumstances.
‘Dolls’and “dudes” are poor citizens.
Girls, when a man who has not suffi
cient “gumption” to support himself
asks you to marry him, think well of
the possibilities. Remember, too, that
many a man has rallied from great re
verses, and from under clouds of ad
versity, despair and misfortunes hy
the help, economy and good manage
ment of his wife. A Mother.
[The above advice is as good as it
is old. As to marriage, in most cases
It is a “leap in the dark.” As to the
“dude” of to-day, lie may be the leg
islator or capitalist of to-morrow. As
to the-gambler, be may be an earnest
and eloquent divine within less time
than a decade. He who spends his
money for liquor this year may spend
live times as much to spread the gos
pel next year. The temper and am
bition of some wives have driven their
husbands to the wine cup and to the
devil. The pauper at the age of 20
years may be a millionaire at 40, and
so on to the end of the chapter. —Ed.]

My Mother has had a cough tor twenty
years, pneumonia leaving her with a bron
chial trouble. Two years ago, her lungs
becoming involved, she became very much
emaciated and lost all strength, being un
<ler regular treatment of a physician and
taking medicine all hours of tin* day. This
continued until a year ago when I saw your
advertisement of I)r. Aker’s English Rem
edy for Consumption and procured a bot
tle, as the tickling in her throat was unre
mitting and so irritating as to make bilk
ing impracticable. She was so much re
lieved that another bottle was procured and
we now buy by the case, she never being
without it. She has no physician and takes
no other medicines. She remarked lately
that if she had not procured it when she
did she would now be dead.
We have recommended it to others who
always receive benefit from it. It anyone
desiring further particulars will address me
with a stamp 1 will answer with pleasure,
as I deem it the best cough medicine made.
A trial only is necessary to convince
anyone of its merit. Very’ Respectfully,
