Some people make fun of Salisbury be-
cause she has no other railroad but the
little, short Salisbury branch. It is true
that our road is not as long as the B. &

its length, that the B. & O. owns.

A copy of the Onawa, Iowa, Democrat,
kindly forwarded to us by the banking
house of Holbrook Bros., reprints the
notice published in the Herald on the
death of Dr. C. G. Stutzman, and adds a

dead physician. Dr. Stutzman assisted
in laying out the town of Onawa. having
moved there with the Holbrook Bros, in
1857, and for several years thereatter
gave the residents of that place the bene-

It is an easy matter to go through the
country and point out the newspaper
readers. The farmer who prospers inost,
who -enjoys life, who is selected asa
leader in his community, is a newspaper
reader. Whether he is indepted to his
readings for his prosperity or not, the
book and the newspaper can be foupd in
his house, and he knows what they
contain. The boy from the country who
reads the newspapers is seldom the vie-
tim of a confidence man, and the way to
teach boys to readis to throw newspa-
pers around thein.—Live Stock Retord.
There seems to be a sort of mutual ad-

and tells the public how Editor Smiih
s*got it in the neck.” And whenever the
Register has a fight with another paper,
then the Bulletin bobs up to tell how Ed-
