Im'.Nsolubly connected with the
unmenso growth of the American
nnt.ion lias been the country news
paper. As an institution it has been
a prime factor in the development of
the great west. No sooner is a town
definitely located than the local
newspaper springs into being with
all the vigm-.ius enterprise charac-
Jeristic of American jourimlisin.
l'lie country newspaper, in its strict
sense, is nu American Institution, ,
says the National Magazine. While
foreign newspapers only contain
court news" nnd chiefly chronicle
the movements of I-lie niistocracy,
the personal column of the Ameri
can country newspaper recognizes
the sovereign right of the plain peo
ple of the town or village to n rea
sonable publicity in the "personal
mention column." Wo must con
fess there is more of picturesque
interest in those simple records than
the stereotyped praise of kings.
dukes and dowagers, there la no
periodical that can hopa to supplant
the homo paper. No matter how
much other publications may offer
in the wav of illustration, brilliant
literary treasurers, nnthors with
big names nnd the prestige of local,
stnte nr.d national influence, the
home paper hns its sacred nttontion
at the family hearthstone, kven
the wealth-llo-dizened suburbanite
must have a weekly glimpse nt the
modest little village paper ; and who
loes not welcome the paper from
the "old home" in its familiar wrap

Resolutions of Condolence.
That grand summons which none
may disregard has come to our
brother, Julius Scharff, and a link
in our frnte'riial chain has nguin
been broken.
Wo recognize in these dispensa
tions the chastening of Him who
doeth nil things well and whose
ways are not as our ways, nnd we
heed the admonitory lessons to so
live that when our snuimons shall
come vo may bo prepared to greet
our brother gone before.
Lot us cherish our brother in our
memories and whatever was good
and noble in his character let ns
strive to emulate in ours.
While our loss may be sore, to
those to whom ho stood in a closer
relation of kinship it is grievous to
bo borne, nnd sincerely mourning
our departed brother wo mingle our
tears with theirs in a common grief.
In submission to the mandate we
can only commend them to the care
of that Father whoso eye is over
upon them nnd whose hand it ever
ready to guide and who can t.nd will
be more than any earthly father or
friend, if they nit. their faitli and
trust in Him.
