Wo’did tlTis’in a' business way.; Wo

Nothing short of tho very best
business management can make a
weekly paper pay. I’ho paper that
goes out on time is on tho road to
the graveyard. It must either sus
pend at an early day or drag out ii
miserable oxistonco by elieating
paper mills, printers and all others
who deal with it.
As wo don’t think any of our
friends'wish to see the Post starved
out, or what is worse reduced to, the
necessi ty of swiiulli ng printors, pa
per mills^ renters, hoarding houses,
etc., we don’t think thc-v will object
to our adopting Hie casli-in-ndvance
system. Though wo have lost a
good deal by postponing what wo
ought to "have done at. tho start, we
would not have our readers believe
the Post 1ms been unable to meet
all obligations. In spito of that one
serious drawback, the Post is out of
debt, is on a solid financial footing
and pays as it goes. But, as stated
above, what success tho paper has
achieved has been not by the credit
system, but in spite of it. Three
year’s experience, the loss of over
five hundred dollars, and the ad
vice of • the few successful news
paper mon we have met have
convinced us that wo,must cut en
tirely loose from the credit business.
All Escape l'rom Drowning.
The following account of a mirac
ulous escape from drowning wo get
from tho Columbus Tones: “From
a young man wild came tip on the
Jordan from a trip to Florida yis-
terduy, we learned of a most mirac
ulous escape from drowning of nine
persons. A gentleman, named Dr.
Cushman, of Brazil, accompanied by
his family, had been on a visit to his
grandmother, Mrs. Keyes, of lolu,
Fla., and were'on thoir return home.
It was necessary that they should
cross tho Dead Lakes iu a small boat
in order to reach tho steamer, and
when near the center tho boat struck
a stump and sank. The entire party,
consisting of the Doctor, his wife,
his wife’s sistor, five children and a
nurse, were all thrown! out. in the
water, Upoti rising to tho top, tho
doctor tyyi.-w*.-v* me chtwron on
his back, am) his wife, who was a
good swimmer, did the same. They
carried thorn to tho nearest stump
and left them, and returning for the
others did them in tho sumo manner,
tjioroby placing the, entire party in
places of safety. There they retnaiti
ed until they could secure assistance
frpm the shore, which soon, came,
and they were all safely landed. This
may appear like an exaggerated story
to some, but the young gentleman
Who informs us is perfectly reliable,
am) says ho saw the party with his
own eyes. The doctor’s wife is cer
tainly a woman of rare nerve mid
forethought, and her behavior bn
this ocousion was most courageous.”

The Trappers Again.
One of the trappers who left here
some weeks ago returned last week
and tackled the Hunger and Hard
ship heavers. lItrcaptured*tavo and
quit, having discovered, he says, that
most of them have emigrated from
* owM., trae^rw]r.up()irTiTm, cri>shiug him
leave the county, however. He has
gone over this week on t he east side
of’the river in the Jower portion of
the county where he has beer! prom
ised plenty of games. He sold tho
first of tho beavers ho killed in
Hunger and Hardship in the Dublin
market, and quite a number of our
citizens tried, for the first time, the
flavor of beaver beef. Sotno liked
it—some didn’t.
The Mayor's Office.
The question is often asked what
is being done in the contest ovor-bhc
mayor’s office? It is unnecessary to
go into details, but for the informa
tion of all concerned, wc will say that
the matter will come up next week
in Superior Court. Tho tax ordi
nance will be resisted, those who
voted illegally will be prosecntoil, and
the question us to who is entitled to
he mayor of Dublin will bo thorough
ly tested. And don’t you let these
facts wander beyond the purlieus of
your memory.

A report of the state of religion in
Nevuda would be almost as brief as
the famous chapter on snakes in
Ireland. The following anecdote
might, however, ho inserted: “At
the recent opening of the Nevada
Legislature an Eastern minister was
invited to perform the religions ser
vice. He accepted the call and
closed the ceremony witii the Lord’s
Prayer. When he had finished State
Senator Doohm turned to Senator
Hammond and remarked audibly:
•He stole that prayer, and I’ll bet on
it. 1 beard it almost word for word
in Eureka at a funeral oyer ten years
ago.’”
Killed by a Falling Tree.
\BBEV1LLE, Ga., March 30, 1881.
—A heavy win3 and rain storm pre
vailed here yesterday, blowing down
considerable tiniberand fencing, and
bringing sorrow*and misfortune to
ono household. Cato Graham, a
worthy and induslrous hid of about
fifteen years, and tho main support
of a w.ulowed mother, was killed by a

and was overtaken in the storm It
is supposed ho was trying to unhitch
tho steers from tho cart, whon -the
to death. The team escaped injury.
Cato wins a good boy, and loved by
lijs mother, ami esteemed by his
neighbors. He had a brother killed
in battle daring Lite war, and another

Coch ft a N, G a. , Mar, 3", 1881. —The
hotel known as tho “Daisy House,”
