I will take I pleasure In forwarding tlie names of any oih| ers who may wish to subscribe, also the forward!.ig of any remitances for old subscribers, some of whom 1 notice are from one to two years in arrears. 1 would especially call the attention of those who subscribed through Mr. X. O. Pyles, that nothing has yet been paid on their paper and it is especially desirable that they as well as other delinquents pay up. j'he people oi this county are divided into almost innumerable "isms" and "ites"' on as many issues, but 1 am sure all will unite in saying that the present dilapidated uppearance of the interior of our Court House is a dishonor to the least of these "Ites" and Isms." The torn and worn condition of the mailing is especially suggestive ol a new one. We hope to see a recommendation for a renovation, from the next meeting of our grand jury Mr. Brunch.

To ray frieuds at Ninety-Six : Friends,one ami ull. 1 am now in my new home in I tie State of Nebraska, ami must admit that the change is great and one lias to brace up to keep up or rather ?eep o(F an attack of home sick fever. The neonle in and around Cnrio, are mostly from Illinois, Ohio aud New York .Slates; besides many Germans directly from Germany. As you discover, they are all "Yanks" and Foreigners; hut I must say that they arc a thrifty, good, open hearted people. The politics of the Stato are greatly mixed. At present we have a Democratic Governor, but ordinarily the .State government is Republican. Educational facilities here are good. Every district has a good school building as neat, and while not so large, better fitted up than the academy at Ninety-Six. The free public schools are run nine months out of the year and competent teachers selected to train the mental faculties of the Nebraska children. Any child who Is capable ot ootalulng an education can do so right at home. Now I will give you a brief history of the couotry generally. The lands are all prairie lands and the country is laid off In squares of of WO acres or one square mile, and there is a good dwelling on each corner of this square, giving each man a farm of 1(J0 acres; a great many however have sold otF half of their farms which gives you an extra farm house and family, and let me say right here that we nave no negroes here. I think I can safely say that there is not a negro in fifteen miles of Cario. The land is very ferllle, so much so lUltl. lurmcia uu uwt iuimj mc iiuikmc iw nnui the manures of probably two hundred head of cattle out on the farms, and no guano used at all. Aboul all the use thai Is made of the manure Is to much their fruit tiees which is h good idea, and l.y the way. I will tell you how it Is done. lor It may help you to many a good peach and apple. In the winter when you have the first freeze, haul out a load of stable manure and place it around the tree about two to (our inches thiek near the root of the tree and then uo matter how thick as fur around as the limbs of the trees extend. This keeps the frost in the ground and keeps the sap from rising, hence the tree is backward In putting out and you will Invariably have fruit.

FULLFR LYON, March 21, 1892. Judge Probate Court.. The Habit of Borrowing:. It is the easiest thing in the world ( to begin by borrowing a newspaper, then a pattern, then a recipe, then a book; some day a gown is borrowed to ] look at; another day one is borrowed to try on to see if it would be becom- | ing, theu a little note goes asking that i fan be lent; and the fan once borrowed it becomes the easiest thing in the world to got either a bodice, a bonnet, i>r a pair of gloves. Now, when you began, if anybody had told you that you were a moral thief, \ you would have been most indignant; and yet that is just what you are. It would be much more honest to borrow your neighbor's money and never to return it, than to keep up a constant borrow- t ing of your neighbor's belongings, get- , ting out of them the wear that is not yours and the pleasure that is by rights your neighbor's. What the mistress does, the maid does. In the kitchen ( they do not hesitate to borrow a patent coffee-pot, and never return it; a pudding dish, a little flavoring extract, 9ome baking powder or some oil. If ' they were asked if they returned all ? this, they would answer: "Certainly r not; why, we would be just as glad to lotwl tn thorn'" A nrl Mip rpKnlf, is I hut. your servants, imitating yourexinple, become systematic plunderers of your . nieghbor*. My friend, do not get iu- J to the habit of borrowing. It is one of the most vicious you can possibly acquire. It makes you lose all respect for the rights of other people, and it can certainly give you none for yourself The persistent borrower is a more or less wellspoken-of thief. The bor- 1 rower does not hide her light under a ( bushel, for iu time her friends and ac(juaintences gmw to know of her weakness and avoid her. So stop at the hook, and do not permit yourself to drift into, what it is charity to call, a very bad habit. Go Out in the Air.?Ladies often svatrx* ou u rtnonn wliv tlioir /1r* nnf wiviwvu ? ??J vt.vj v.v exercise; "Ob, 1 don't like to go out without ail object." They seem to be unaware of the fact that to a well organized frame, motion and fresli air are positive daily necessities, irrespective of any "object," save the cool paly of the wind on the temples and 1 healthful glow which follows a brisk walk. Medicine is a joke to it. No doctor, be his diploma ever so pretentious, could effect with simple means a } more magical result. When it is considered what "a beautificr" exercisc in the open air is, we marvel that the female portion of the community are so prone to neglect it.
