Take Torn Local rAn:n. Do the
city papers say anything in regard to
your own town? Nothing. Do they
contain notices of your schools, eliurcli
cs, improvements and hundreds of other
local matters of interest which your
home paper publishes without pay?
Not an item. Do they ever say a wonl
calculated to draw attention to your
county and aid in its progress and en
terprise? Not a line. And there are
men who take .such contracted views of
this matter, that unless they are getting
as many square inches of reading mat
ter in tficir own as they do in a city pa
per they think they are not getting the
worth of their money,,
Machine Mailing. We have just
added to and placed in working order
in the Astorian office, a machine for
mailing the papers alter they are print
ed. This will enable the mailing clerk
to get the papers all into the mails fol
lowing the hour of publication, and it
will also prevent any mistakes from oc
curring. The name of each subscriber
is piaceu in type unuer tne proper 1'ost
oflice heading, and the machinery is so
constructed that every name must be
printed as it nws through the machine,
and as every Post-onice is announced by
the tap of a bell as the tvpe pass along
it is almost next to an impossibility to
make an error; but should our papers
fail to reach any office promptly wnen

The Lackawana sailed for Sitka,
after all, instead of Port Townsend.
It seems that just at the last moment
before sailing her order was counter-
nianded and she was directed to pro-
ceed to the region named. This
change was made, it is presumed, on
account of a change of opinion in re-
gard to the locality where she was
most needed.

Spend Your Money r-t Home.
The following are the most forcible rea
sons why you should spend your money at
heme:
1st, It i? your heme: you cannot im
prove it much by taking it away to spend
or invest.
2d, There i- no way of improving a placo
so much a' by encouraging good merchant-,
200J schools and good people to
settle among 3'ou, and this cannot be done
unless you spend your money at home.
3d, Spend your money at home, for
there is where you generally get it. It h
your duty.
4, Spend your money at homo because
when it is necessary for you to get credit,
j k of yo.irtown merchants you havo to
get it, and they must wmt for th money.
Iherciore, when you have the cash, spend
it at home.
5th, Spend your morey at home. It
will make better mevehant of 3'our mer
chints; they can and will keep better
assortments and sell :il lower rates th,an if
the only business they can do is what is
credited out, while the money goes to
other places.
0th, Spend your money at home. Set
j the example now. Hoy your dry good
groceries, meats, mid everything at heme,
and you will see a wondurml change in a
sho;t time in the business outlook of tho
place: therefore, (L-al with your homo
