Wind work must be backed by something more substan¬ tial. The editor’s say so in advoca¬ cy of that which will inure to the general interest must be supported by the say soa of those who would become the beneficiaries. In other words when the Editor pulls, the people must push. We state further in answer to this question, that the .business outlook and prosperity of a community is not judged solely and altogether by what is seen and read in the editori¬ al columns of its newspaper. The business world and people abroad look to the other departments of the paper to see what the business men of that community say for them¬ selves and of their business. To as- certain the business life, the business capacity, the business activity, strength and enterprise of a town, the business world looks to those columns Of the town’s newspaper through which its people have the opportunity to tell the world of tbdfr business, and through whieh the out¬ ride world has an opportunity to arc? srus. a; aiders look to see whether or sot the editorial bugle’s blast is supported by facts that give it pith and point. If they do not find these facts ac- enmnanvine- the blast thev inevita¬ bly conclude that that bugle has nothing solid behind it to maintain its noise. But if they find that what they are engaged, then the ver¬ dict is that here is a live people who are in the path of thrift and want the world to know it. By this means, and in this way, the business capaci¬ ty and enterprise of a community is judged of by those who are strangers to it, and not solely by what may be, and is, said through the editorial columns. Yes we stand ready at all times to advocate the town, the county, and any and every progressive idea that has in itself the promise of good re¬ sults to the people, individually or collectively; nor will we be retarded in the least in our labors, if some well wisher to any promising enterprise WBKm rnmmmm •i ■ Hv; - * c ~k*< •» a r * , ist wee who seals cars on the East 1 see, Virginia and Georgia rai at Rdtae, while at work Satnr 3 getting ont of the way of a tn opped on another e was run over by SSWS says that he has a saddle horse that has more sense than the average school boy..

H. T. Johnson of Texas has sent A. J. Johnson of Americas one of the oldest $10 bills afloat. The bill, which was sent as a keepsake, is on the Mississippi Railroad Company, and bears date of June 3.1839, and is therefore almost fifty years old, bearing interest at 4 per cent. If the Mississippi Railroad Company is as well preserved as their note is, they can pay on demand. An attempt was made to kill M. L.
