Thi Cash Sy?TE3I.—As we have to pay the
cash for everything we use about our house
and office, we are compelled to do a strictly
cash business. We will take wood or pro
visions. at market piices, in pay for sub
scriptions. Although anxious for patronage,
we prefer a limited cash bubiuess to an ex
tended credit one.
Notice.
The time of several of our six
months’ subscribers will shortly ex
pire. If they wish the paper con
tinued, they will oblige by remitting
ug the amount of their subscriptions
at once, as we intend stopping the
paper as soon as the time is out.
There are also a few names on onr
book of six and twelve months? sub
scribers who have not yet paid up.
They are requested to settle without
delay. We never intended to furnish
the paper on a credit, and those re
maining unpaid are parlies who pro
mised to pay in a few days. Our
limited capital necessitates our doing
a cash business; and while we would
like tojiave the name of everybody
in the county on our subscription list,
we do not solicit any but cash sub
scribers, or those who will pay in
wood or provisions.
The Picnic Friday.
In spite of the threatening weather
last Friday, we found, on arriving at
the grounds, a crowd of some five
or six hundred persons in attend
ance—the most of them being from
Columbus. After an exchange of
courtesies between the people and
their visitors, dancing began, and was
continued until the dinner hour, by
those who participate in this amuse
ment. Those who do not, amused
themselves strolling through the
pleasant woods, swinging, fishing,
etc.
(The Columbus Suu says “ it is re
ported there is not a member of the
finny tribe in-the whole stream.” But
this is a slander upou the Mulberry
creek. The truth is, the young peo
ple preferred casting their hooks on
land; and, from the indications, more
than one fish, in the shape of a pretty
girl, bit at the bait.)
Of the dinner we need only say,
that it was good, and, so far as we
know to the contrary, all got some.
This over, dancing was resumed
and kept up till the time of depar
ture.
There was no disturbance during
the day, and we did not see a single
drunken man. The good order was
probably owing to the presence of a
squad of efficient Columbus police
men, who were prepared to arrest
any disorderly person.
In behalf of our peojrfc, wo would
say to those of Columbus, that the
notice was too short, and the farmers
too busily engaged lighting the
to afford anything like a good turnout
to welcome them. It is the intention
of our citizens, when the railroad is
completed to this place, to invite our
Columbus friends to Hamilton, when
we intend showing them how we can
treat them, and how we will welcome
them, when we all set our heads to
gether, aud have time to prepare.
A Good Thing. —One of the most
serviceable and handy little things
we have seen in a long time is an in.
strument for cutting glass, called the
“ Universal Glass Cutter.” Mr. Elli
ott, of New Orleans, is the propri
etor, and has had it patented. This
Cutter is simpler than a diamond,
cuts better, and is much cheaper.
While a diamond is easily injured,
it is impossible to hurt the Universal
Cutter. Having given this tool a
trial ourself, we are prepared to
recommend it to others. It is small,
convenient, and cheap. A few are
on sale at the store of H. W. Pitts,
& Cos., and we would advise anybody
who has any use for a glass cutter,
to call at once and secure one of
these improved kind.
N. &S. Road. —We are pleased
to hear that the Governor hae signi
fied his approval of the work on the
North and South Railroad, and that
he will shortly eign and turn over
the bonds for the first twenty miles.
This obstacle removed, the prospects
ahead look cheering, and we hope
that nothing will interfere to prevent
the rushing forward of the road to
wards this place and La Grange.
Sunday-School Picnic.— A press
of business prevented our being pre
sent, as we had intended, at the pic
nic on the Mulberry, last Wednesday,
ef the Methodist Sunday-Schools
from Girard and McAllwrterrille.
We learn that all passed off pleasant
ly, and the young folks enjoyed
themselves exceedingly.
The Local Editor.
The following is borrowed, and it
is the best we ever had a local editor
leiid us:
“ If a man buys anew buggy, or if
his cow can bawl three times without
winking, the local is expected to pro
claim it with a grand flourish. If
he starts a two-penny business, his
first thought is to bribe the local witli
a five-cent cigar to write up a five
dollar pull. Indeed, He thinks it is a
mission of the local to make his for-
tune for him by ‘free blowing.’ He
will take the local to oue side and
point out the superior qualities of a
rat-tei rier dog, and coolly ask him
to * give him a hoist.’ He don’t care
anything about it, only Spriggins has
a dog which he thinks is a buster,
and some of ’em wanted his ‘ put in’
just to take the conceit out of Sprig
gins.’ Everybody wants to be‘put
in,’ they are the ‘Great I Am,’ but
no one says, ‘ Here, local, put yourself
inside this new suit of clothes, or
throw yourself outside this oyster
stew, or stuff this watch into your
pocket.’ Oh, no, of course not;
that would cost something. The
shoe is on the other foot, you see.
The local is supposed to know every
thing about other people’s business,
and is expected to show up all the
actors in every family broil in town.
If the vile tongue of scandal finds a
victim, people wonder why he don’t
run about with his note book and
gather up the vituperative bits ot
slander for his paper. If he steps
into a billiard hall, he is requested to
make a note of the astonishing fact
that Bill Tompkins has made a run
of eleven points. When the minstrel
troupe arrives in town, the agent im
mediately rushes into the printing
office, and calling for the local, he
slips three or four tickets in his hand,
and whispers: “ Draw us a big house!
Put it strong!” and patting him pat
ronizingly on the shoulder, the agent
admits the inferiority of the troupe,
but we are not to ‘let on.’ It is no
sin for the local to lie. To please the
lecturer the local is forced to sit two
mortal hours to hear him through an
insipid discourse, so that he can
‘ write him up.’ And so it goes.
All are anxious to appear favorably
in print, but few are willing to pay
for it 1 The local’s time is worth
nothing,but to bother his head writing
puffs for ambitious persons. It don’t
cost him anything to live. lie never
eats, or drinks, or travels, and money
is no use to him. Put it in 1 Put it
in!’’
Another Snake-bite.— We are in
formed that another negro was bitten
on Mr. J. M. Kimbrough’s place a few
days ago. He was getting eggs out
of a nest, and, after being bitten,
ran at once to his mother, told her
a snake had bitten him, and putting
down the finger on which he had re
ceived the bite, told her to chop it
off, which she did. He is now doing
well. This happened on the same
place where the negro was bitten
and died a few weeks ago, an account
of which was published in the Visit
or. The snakes on this place are re
ported to be unusually numerous this
year. We learn that the negroes
there have quit fishing at night, and
are even afraid to go about much
after dark.
—i .
Attention.— Everybody who' can
furnish a wagon, a horse, a hand, or
who is willing to work himself, is re
quested to be present at the Metho
dist church to-day to assist in fixing
up the arbor and the ground round
the church. A few loads of brush
to cover the arbor, and of wheat or
pine straw to lay on the floor, are
particularly needed; and parties from
the country will confer a great favor
by bringing them in, if they can con
veniently. Let us fix up things right,
that our visitors may bear away with
them a favorable opinion of the town.
Large Potatoes. —Mr. J. M. VVeb
ster brought ns in a day or two ago,
a lot of the finest Irish potatoes we
have seen this year. They were quite
large, and eat well. In thanking
Mr. W., we simply remark that such
men make the heart of the printer
to rejoiee.
Anniversary Address. —The an
niversary of the Methodist Sunday
school will bo held on Sunday week
next. The Baptist school will unite
with them. The address will be de
livered by Rev. Dr, Key, of Colum
bus.
About this time, as the alma
naes say, it would be advisable for
"yaller-legged” chickens to “keep
their eyes skinned,” in order to save
their heads.
The people of Hamilton are
painting and fixing up generally in
readiness for the district-meeting
which commences on the ISth tiist.

The Local Newspaper.
TVhen anew town starts up some
where in the West—new towns are
always starting up there—the first
thing, after the surveyor has got
through with his work of laying out
the lots, is to get a newspaper. No
town ever thinks of even starting
without its newspaper, for a town
without its newspaper is like a cart
without a horse—it wont go at all.
Ihe importance ot the local news
paper cannot be overrated; it is the
life and spirit and necessity of the
town. The ambition of every young
community is to increase and build
up; to thrive; to receive accessions
to its population, its capital and its
business, and there is not in any one
thing so great an aid to this as in
the local newspaper. It is through
it that the town becomes known.
The local newspaper goes into the
most unaccountable places. Every
one in the town where it is issued
takes a delight in sending it to some
friend or relative in some far off
State; sons, who have gone into the
wilderness of the West, will send it
back to the old folks in New York
or in Massachusetts, and the old
folks will show it to other old folks,
and the sons and daughters of other
old folks will see it; they discover
from its columns that a promising
town is building up, an early friend
and sehoolmate is getting rich, that
there is a welcome and a sufficiency
for all. Then in a few days some
more of the sturdy sons of the East
are driving into the Eldorados of the
West, where so nyuiy have found
homes and happiness'and fortunes.
The local paper is always a good in
dex of its town, and serves more
than any thing else to tell abroad the
character of the people, who are its
constituents. It is always filled up
with advertisements, but it is not al
ways filled with those that pay any
thing. In altogether too many coun
try villages and towns are business
men, who not only feel confident that
the local newspaper ought to bo
thankful for the privilege of printing
their advertisements gratuitously, but
they firmly believe that the miserable
editor ought to thank God that he is
permitted to breathe the air and
tread upon the earth. What is a
newspaper for if not to print adver
tisements, and what right has a poor,
miserable, poverty-stricken wretch of
an editor to ask pay of a business
man for any advertisement ? When
there are a good many men of this
kind in town we can tell it by a sin
gle glance at the local newspaper.
It looks muddy and scraggy ; adver
tisements are set up in a bungling,
careless manner, with wonderful in
nocence of taste, and after they are
once set up, are never again thought
of only as something in bulk to fill
up. They get mixed up, the type is
battered, some letters get turned
around, upside down, and then get
pulled out to be used in the adver
tisement of some man who does pay
something, and the non-paying adver
tisement is left a wreck and ruin of
its former self, and appears each week
without conveying the slightest idea
of what it is for—a disgrace to the
business man, a jeer to the editor and
an insult to the subscriber, who pays
for his paper.
On the other hand, there are
communities that delight in exten
sive patronage to the local newspa
per, and for which they pay promptly
as for anything else they have in
their business. A paper from a com
munity of this character is always
bright and neat looking, and no mat
ter if its editor is not the most bril
liant person in the world, he will, by
neat type-setting and good press
work, produce a journal that will be
a credit to himself and his town. He
gets pay for his work, and, therefore,
not only finds it his duty to make a
neat paper, but ho takes a genuine
pleasure in it. It is reported ot a
large city wholesale dealer, that he
regularly took the local paper from
the town where he had creditors.
He said he watched the advertising
columns, and so long as he found his
patrons advertising with some show
of spirit he was satisfied they were
all right, but the moment he missed
the advertisement he sent on tho*col
lector, and got either his money or
his goods, for he was satisfied that a
man who didn’t advertise was a fail
ure in business.
The duty of every man is to sub
scribe for his local newspaper, no
matter what other papers he may
take. In his city weekly he can get
the news of the world, elaborate edi
torials, essays, stories, agricultural
hints, and the matters of general in
terest; but he cannot find there the
news which ho will prize most of all,
and which he can find in his local paper,
and that is the news of his neighbors.
The local paper tells him that neigh
bor Higgins has bought anew farm;
that neighbor Thompson has sold
two extra heavy hogs at an unusual
price; that anew schopl-house is to
be built down in the Hollow, and
there is to be anew minister at the
old white church. Four columns out
of every five that contains reading
matter in the local paper should be
devoted to items that everybody in
the neighborhood is interested in,
for it requires no very deep .-intellect
to see that such news id-'the very
life and soul of the.local paoer, ana
those that have tjone'this are the
ones that have been most successful,
No man should-take a eity paper
in preference to his local paper. If
he is to poor to take only one, let
that one by all means be the one pub
lished nearest his home. A man
(nay. possibly endure without know
ing all that is going on in Spain or
South America, but he would be a
poor ignoramus without a knowledge
of his own town and neighborhood.
Take your local paper, and do all in
your power to make it a credit and
honor to the town.
Postal Cards and Letter Postage.
The New York Bulletin makes the
point that if the government can
afford to provide, gratis, handsomely
engraved pasteboard cards and carry
them all over the country to their
destination, it can much better afford
to carry letters for the same rate, as
it is no more expensive or trouble
some to carfy a letter than a postal
card, and there is no sound reason
for the discriminating rates against
the former.
The editor adds:
The truth is, the postal cards affords
another consj -suons example of the
tendency of governments to rush into
unnecessary undertakings, while at
the same time it performs those
duties which are already entrusted to
it badly and wastefully. This system
really was not esseiitial to the public
interests and convenience, and is
chiefly important as the general pen
ny postage for letters: For if postal
cards—pasteboard for nothing—can
be carried for a cent, there cau be no
good reason why letters, the paper
of which is provided free of govern
ment expense, cannot bo forwarded
at the same rate.
Uncle Johnny Turner hasn’t
succeeded in buying a mule yet, but
yesterday gathered fifty pounds of
honey from one gum.
The natural history editor of
the Lexington press tells this : “ A
lady residing in a city not a hundred
miles from Lexington is the possessor
of two pets—a monkey and a parrot
who are by no means congenial
friends ; in fact Mrs. C. was in the
habit of locking up the monkey when
ever she left the house, for fear of
his belligerent qualities. One even
ing, alas 1 she neglected to do so,
and coming in found the parrot rife
for a fight and a fierce one ensued.
The monkey ruthlessly pulled out
every feather of the unfortunate par
rot, and broke up the mantle orna
ments, and smashed things generally.
When Mrs. C. returned, she found
the tnoukey chattering on the mantle
piece, and out crept the parrot, look
ing deeply injured, and greeted her
with, ‘ We’vtt had a h—l of a time.’
The appropriateness of the remark
caused a shout of laughter.”
“Who Burnt Columbia ?’’—Every
now and then this question is revived
and discussed by the press. It has
been decided each time that the or
der to fire the city was given by
Sherman, who, now that he perceives
the stigma fastened upon the insti
gator of the deed, attempts to deny
it. But the proof is conclusive; and
the name of Sherman will be handed
down to posterity as the burner not
only of the fair city of Columbia,
S. C., but as the one who ordered the
torch applied to our own thriving
Atlanta, by which three-fourths of the
city were destroyed, and numberless
helpless women and children render
ed destitute and homeless.
In another place, we publish a let
ter from one of Sherman’s soldiers,
in which be says “ unrestricted license
to burn and plunder was the order
of the day.’’
To N ewspaper Borrowers. —Here
is how editors talk to the borrowing
individuals:
“ Got a paper to spare ?”
“ Yes sir; here’s one our last.
Would you like to subscribe, sir,
and take it regularly ?”
“ I would, but I’m poor.’’
That man just came from the cir
cus—cost, fifty cents ; lost time from
his farm, fifty cents ; liquor, judging
from the smell, fifty cents; making a
dollar and a half already thrown
away, and then begging for a news
paper, alleging that he was too poor
to pay for it t
That’s what we call saving at the
spigot and losing at the bung-hole.
A Champion old Man of the
Period.—The Peoria Review has its
own old man, who reads that paper
and no oilier, and thus describes him i
“ Chewed tobacco sixty years and got
fat on it it. Then he took to hard
drink and followed it for twenty-five
years, and grew younger every day.
Now he reads his paper by moonlight
alone, through jm inverted micro
scope to make the type appear small
enough for his eyesight. Walks four
miles every morning for his drinks
before breakfast'. Chops a cord of
wood between each meal. Tried to
die of old age thirteen times and
failed every whack. Attends to the
wants of his old and feeble grandson,
and superintends the funerals of his
posterity with a decency becoming
his years.
W3f~ “How are you getting along,
John?” “Not very well; I have to
live on my wits.” “I should think
that would be a very thin diet.”

It is Better.
Better to wear a calico dress with
out trimming, if it be paid for, than
to owe the shop-keeper for the most
elegant silk, cut and trimmed in the
most bewitching manner.
Better to live in a log cabin all
your own, than a brown stone man
sion belonging to somebody else.
Better to walk forever than run in
debt for a horse and carriage.
Better to sit by the pine table for
which you paid three dollars ten
years ago, than to send home anew
extension black walnut top, and pro
mise to pay for it next week.
Belter to meet your business ac
quaintances with a free “don’t owe
you a cent” smile, than to dodge
around the corner to escape a dun.
Better pay the street organ grind
er two cents for music, if you must
have it, than to owe for a grand
piano.
Bettor to gaze upon bare walls
than pictures unpaid for.
Better to drink thin soup from
earthenware, if you owe your but
cher nothing, than to dine off lamb
and roast beef, and know that it does
not belong to you.
Better to lot your wife have a fit
of hysterics than to run in debt for
nice new furniture, or clothes, or
jewelry, or any other tiling that
woman wish for. A fit of hysterics,
properly managed is often more real
benefit to a woman than anything
you can buy. It is better to treat
them in this way :
“ When she begins to cry for some
thing she ought to know she cannot
have try to reason with her a little.’’
t&p The most accommodating man
we ever saw wns he who was cap
tain of a steamship which plied be
tween New York and Port Royal
during the war. One day a soldier
lost his cap overboard, and went to
the captain about it. The old gen
tleman said it was impossible to stop
the vessel to recover it, but he kind
ly offered to make a mark on the
rail where it went overboard, and get
it when he came back.
