KO."3E MANUFACTURES.
It is not our intention in this brief
article to even moot the great benefits
of home manufactures, for we have
not a reader who can not see them
without our aid ; our object is to call
attention to a practicable and profita
ble enterprise, and one, to engage in
which requires but ordinary common
sense, and not a long apprenticeship,
for ideas of home manufacture are to
let each section manufacture, as near
as practicable, its natural products,
and not be dependent upon other sec
tions, for even the necessaries of life,
that area llowed to. waste at our doors.
We have a soil and climate that
raises as fine corn, tomatoes, peas,
beans, cucumbers, onions, and veget
ables generally, as any under the sun,
and yet thousands of pounds of these
same natural products are imported
and consumed in our State, upon
which we not only have to pay a large
percent for profit to manufactures,
but two or three dea'ers and freights
from far eastern points.
We have made an estimate and are
satisfied that not le?s than 12,000 cans
of vegetables are consumed in this
county annually, besides thousands of
bottles of cucumber pickles, etc. Can
ned vegetables sell at wholesale from
$2 (ji, $3,32 per dozen cans. We have
consulted a tinner and are told, that
to take the whole tin and cut out the
work, the cans will cost about 7 cents
each, or 84 cents a dozen, and that
by getting a large quantity and get
ting the tin in size and shape from
the factory, cans wquld cost about 5
6 cents each.
Bottles to put up pickles can be had
for much less than cans, the trouble
of putting up good pickles is much
less, and the profit equally as good as
on vegetables.
Few good housewives but under
stand the requisites for putting up
good canned fruit, and few but with
the aid of a tinner, to solder up the
cans, could put up as good as we buy
and Sf-nd a large profit out of the
StateTor.
We venture the assertion that more
money can be made upon a given in
vestment in this line, in this county
than upon any other that can be
made. The profits average about $1
unona dozen cans, and .while our
own county ues what it does, we
have no doubt that from three to five
thousand dozen could be sold the
next season within one hundred miles
of this point, especially when it is re
membered that they could be sold
here with the wholesale per cent and
cost of transportation oil".
We have the capital, enterprise,
soil, climate and common sense nec
essary, and predict a fortune for ain
individual who has, in the morning of
our growth, the enterprise to project
and perfect an establishment for can
ning vegetables, to say nothing of the
luscious peaches, strawberries, etc.,
which our soil produces, and which
may be canned at greater profit even
than vegetables.

The weather the past week has
been very satisfactory to everybody,
at times. The clerk seems prepared
to furnish rain, hail, snow, sleet, mud
or sunshine at the shortest notice.
We had the pleasure of seeing in
town the past week George Crow, B.
F. Mclninch,' R. A. Stewart, Jim
Dye, Joe Docker, Dr. Thurman, Capt.
Davison, and many other old friends
and acquaintances from abroad.
Prof. D. C. Smith, having com
pleted his engagement with the Peru
Band, took his departure for St. Joe,
on last Thursday. The Profescor haa
made niany warm friends during his
short stay in Peru, and the boys were
very loth to part with him.
Sportsmen are on the war path.
They report geese, ducks and brants

The late warm spell has served to
unearth a fine lot of potatoes. No
show for a potato famine this season.

Col. Majors and J. P. Burdick
returned from the capital last Thurs
day, They seem to be very confident
that the Trunk Road will be built the
present season. We learn from them
that Col. Furnas goes to St. Louis in
the interest of this road. That done
leaves no doubt but what the road
will be built immediately as the Col
onel is such a swift railroad man.
Is it not getting about time of

Moodey, Matthews & Co. now

There is considerable complaint,
and, if what we hear is true, not
without cause, of a want of courtesy
on the part of the Principal of the
Normal School, toward visitors and
students. This should not be. A lit
tle bending of a high head hurts no
one, and often avoids a disagreeable
bump. It is b.'st not to shake one's
mane in anybody's face. In this con
nection we would suggest that it is
not proper to compare students to
Virginia niggers, or to taunt them
with possessing manners originating
in a dug out. It don't exactly suit
this latitude.
The election for School Director
for the Peru school district resulted in
the unanimous choice of Mr. M. S.
Wiles, there being not one dissenting
vote. If we are not much mistaken
in the man he will prove to be the
most popular school director the dis
trict has ever had. Peru has been
sadly in need of at least one director
that thought he had some other du
ties to pcrlorm, besides using the dis
trict for u maehtne to make mono
out of, and we tru-t that, in Mr.
Wiles, we not only have the man
that will see that the business of tbt
listr:ct is pi perly attended to, but
will also piotcct its interests against
any and all unscrupulous and over
reaching officials.
Alexander's lecture at the M. E.
Church last Monday evening, for tin
benefit of the Peru Band, was n per
fect success, neting a handsome sum
besides affording our citizens quite j.
treat. The band was in attendanci
and the members '.erformed theii
part well, fairly making the oh.
church ring with their harmonious?
sounds.
Mr. Emerson, an old friend of
curs from Johnson county, has mov
ed into town to take the benefit of our
educational advantages. Mr. E
bought several quarters of land in
Johnston county in the spring of 'OK.
and moved on to a homestead near
Helena. He has now a good farm o:
i20 acres, all under cultivation, lots
of fruit trees, large gr - of timber,
etc. He has lately dis-ioscd of some
of his land that he bought In 'tiG, (for
$!23 per quarter,) for $1,200 per quar
ter. Pretty good prolit that. It is
such men as he that make a country
worth living in.
Oranges, lemons, and canned

We paid a short visit to Brown
ville last Tuesdav and met thpr
many old familiar faces. Everybody
seemed as glad to see us as if we
were running for office, and we dare
say some supposed we were, as it
was election day, and every other
man in town seemel anxious to serve
the dear people. We dropped into
the County Clerk's office, where we
found our worthy Count 3- Com:ni -s;oners
up to their eyes in business.
One would suppose that at least half
the men in the county were asking
the Commissioners to lay out a road
by their doors. We put up our team
at Cogswell's Great Western Livery
and Feed Stables, and there we find
improvements going on as usual, for
whoever saw "Cog" when he was not
making improvements of some kind

Travelers can do no better than to
leave their teams at the Great West

all the necessary attention, that oi
dumb beasts know so well how to ap
preciate. We dropped in nt Swan
Brother's, friend Nace'sand in near
ly every other place in town, except
the saloons, which we found closed by
order of the Mayor, (all on our ac
count we suppose.) Mr. Nickel, one
of the gentlemanly proprietors of tho
City Drug Store, presented us with
a handful" of No. 1 tooth nicks, as a
token of his appreciation of our su
perior merit, and slyly hinted that if
agreeable he would like a local in the
Advertiser. (Charge him ten cents
a line for it.) We took our meals, aa
everybody does that's posted, at tho
Sherman House. At this house the
inner man i3 always supplied with
the best the market affords. Ivauft
man, seconded by his excellent lady,
is not only a prince of good fellows,
but knows exactly how to keep hotel..

We have had a school meeting
this week; lUgood attendance and a
lively timo. We elected our worthy
citizen A. C. For.be director, aal
voted nine months school for tho
present year, and a tax sufficient to
support the same. To those wishing
to move to town and send their chil
dren to school we will say that there
are two or enree- vucanS Routes Iiv
town. Apply to Wcisenreader and
Wat ton.
Just before our school meeting
closed one of ou? citizens moved that
our school lieuso be used for Sunday
School, preaching and singing, which
was unanimously agreed to. What
action our honorable board will take,
time will tell.
We understand that our grain
merchant, Geo. G. Start, has some
fifteen thousand bushels of corn con
tracted and paid for, and Weisenread
er has about the same amount con
tracted ; and we understand, through
tho Nemaha Reporter, that J. B.
Hoover has about forty thousand
bushels. Query: Which will pay
them best, to build astill house or buy
a steamboat ?
John S. Miniek has returned
from the Eat looking weli after his
visit to his friends. Goods are com
ing in, and goi.-ig out equally as fast.
Edward Weisvu reader has not
started east yet, but will in i few
ilays. We will jut sny tlKvthlH stock
of drugs is complete.
Our town Board itill sleeps but
we hope that the next meeting will
arouse them.
We cannot boast quite as much
as your Nemalm correspondent on
corn, but we have a man in our vil
lage that can dig a well forty feet
in one day, Avith a spade.
We understand chat our pros
pects for the Trunk Road are good.
Come, Nebraska City, Peru and
Brownville, be neighborly, and pull
hard on your end of the rope, while
we take up the stock better havo
half a loaf than no bread.
A sad accident happened at

POISOEI TO DEATH
A healthy liver .secretes cswh my
about two andJn halfpotznd of bile,
which cott tins a grat amount of
waste material taken from the blood.
When the liver becomes torpid or con -gested,
it fails to eliminate this-va-t
imount of noxious substances, which,
therefore remains to poison the blw.l
and be conveyed to every part of tho
system. What must be the condition
of the blood u hen it is receiving and
retaining each day two and a half
pounds of poisouV Nature tries to
work off" this pois-on through othvr
.hannels and organs the kidney;,
lungs, skin, etc.; but these organs In
come overtaxed in. performing this la
bor, in addition to their natural func
ions, and cannot long withstand t!:u
pres-uro, but becomes variously dis
eased. The brain, which is the great elec
trical centre of all vitality, is unduly
stimulated by t,' e unhealthy blooU
which pusses to it from the heart, and
it fails to perform ir- r..V," hettitWu!
Iy. Hence the symptoms of bile pois
oning, which, are dtiinef-s, headache,
incapacity to keep the mind on any
subject, impuirmentof memory, dUccy,
sleepy, or nervous feeling, gloomy
forebodings and irritability of temper.
The blood itv'f being diseased an ,t
forms the sweat upon the surface of
the skin, it is so irritatingaud poison
ous that it produces discolored SVrown
spots, pinpies, blotches and other er
uptions, sores, boils, carbuncles and
scrofulous tuainw. The stomach,
bowels and other org m spoken of,
cannot e.-enpe becoming affected soon
eror later, and coiivenes, p:I.s.
dropsy, dypep ia, diarrhaia, femiio
weakness and mary other forms of
chronic disease, are amo-i,' the nec
essary results. As a remedy for all
these various manifestations of disea
ses, Dr. Pierce's Golden Med'enl Dw
covey is positive ly unequal!. By
it the liver and stomach are changed
to an active, healthy state, the appe
tite regulated aud restored, the blood
and secretions thoroughly purified,
and enriched, and the whole system
renovated and b,:i-t up anew. Sold
