Sometime during Thursday evening he was led home by men. who left liiiu at lii« door, tjrfcer* he probably fell into a fttupor from wlil<Hi he never rallied.

EDITOR PLAIN DEALER:--On Sunday. August 5tli, we consigned to th#grave all (hat was mortal of Wm. Henry Prickett. an old and esteemed citizen of Rlngwood. Some of us have known him for many years, aud we feel that he was one of tlio»e meu deserving of something more than a passing notice. Wc believe that this W%|le community will bear us out lu thumper!Ion that he had not an enemy. Its led a quiet* un­ obtrusive life, honored and respected by all who knew him. For many years he had been a consistent member of tlie M. E. church In this village. | think I an perfectly anfe In saying there was uot a man In this county, minister or layman, better versed In tlie Scriptures than Mr. Prlckett. Re had a wonder­ ful memory, which seemed to retain ail its vigor down to the very day of Ids death, lie died In the faltli of the Gospel, ami gave his friends to under­ stand In the last hones that (hp Savior whom be loved In life, was able I# sup* port him in death. Mr. Prickett was born tn Kent COUfity, England, In tlie year 1808; consequently was seventy-live years old at tlie time of his death. He was the father of twelve children, seven boys and Ave girls, nine of whom are still living. He came to this county thirty-five years ago and settled on tlie farm now owned by Mr. Richard Lawson. Since he left the farm lie lived In litis village up to the time of his death. In his death our town has lost a good citizen, the chjSMft a good member, his agog, wife a loving husband, antf^MjtfCiiil%l>n a fattier whose example ̂ well worthy of their Imitation.

If tlie men who deal In boots and shoes or hardware send away for dry goods and groceries for their fam­ ilies becausc ther can save a ifttle thereby, they break down the business of their neighbors who deal la these articles. To get even they send for whit they don't keep and you do, and destroy your trade. So, too, with pro­ fessional men and mechanics. In order to prosper they must help each other. Every member or tlie community must do this, or those who And %usl- •ie«s nnremuneratlve will leave and go elsewhere. Every man who works, produces something, and his neighbors should patronlaa his industry to retain htm among them. If he and Ills family go to another place, every kind of Inisi- ness loses his custom and Its profits. Contribute to all public enterprises that look to UMi general good. If a new manufactory Is to be built, con­ tribute by snbstfrlfcing, or at least say a good word iW|i. If you have a bus­ iness, advertise ,it, and people will know what It Is and will patronise you.
