MISCELLANEOUS. There aro two blacksmith stops in Caldwell. Besides a large numberof carpenter?, CaldweJ has a numbor if bricklayers. S. B. Dement and J. Ilollioger do a general express business. J. L Ballard has a shoe shop Market avenue, above Morse street. on G. W. Froman has a meat market on Market avenue, nearly oppcsite The Tribune office. Caldwell has not got a brickyard and wants one badly. We don't mind pay ing §15 or S20 a thousand, bat kick on two or three times that. A large number cf dwellings have been erected on the north side. That of T. T. Danilson is a fine one and would bs an ornament to any eastern city. While not strictly a business item, the Caldwell public school deserves a place in this review. The building is a large one, well built, and was erected by subscription. Tt has an excellent teacher, Miss Carrie E. Leech, a young lady who has had much experience in Colorado. About thirty pupils aie in attendance. The people of Caldwell are very proud cf the public school. The Philadelphia Times, 1884. The Times will enter upon the year strosger and more prosperous than ever before in its history—more widely read and quoted, more heartily commended, and more fiercely criticiz ed, with a more complete organization, ami an abler staff of contributors—and with the same independence and fear lessness that has made it successful and powertul in the past. The Times has no party to follow, no candidates to advance, kut will meet every issue, as it has ever done, with consistent devotion to the right, to honest government, and the public wel fare. And, while maintaining its posi on as tne leading journal tf Philtde - phia, it will aim to be new the advance in all that can add value to a newspaper. The value of a news paper is not in its siza or display, but in the intelligence and care, the ciseness and freshness with which it is edited. The Times spends laiishly for news fiom sli parts of the world, but all its dispatches are carefully edited ard condensed, in order to give the complete news of the day in the most concise and attractive shape, and with it a large vatiaty of entertaining and iistruciive reading. The best writers at home and abroad are employed to enrich i s columns, and to make it journal adapted both to the busy men and to the 1 -itare of the home circle, a welcome visitor to intelligent and hon est citizens of every political, religious, and soi i il taste. The Weekly Times is a Itogetho different from me weosly newspapers of twenty j ears ago. The day of those papers is gone by. The tel« graph and better local newspapers every where, pooially in the thriving centres of rural population, have made the oil weekly metropolitan newspaper unsatisfying. Those that clung to rheir ancient ages have lost their hold on our for ward-moving people; they are but shadows cf their former greatness, and they hava but a shadow of their former power. Tho e papers hava had their usefulness, but it is gone; and, with it, they are going, too It was not the fault of tho papers; it was the improvement of the country that brought about the change. Man and women, wherever thov live, now require fresher news; and thev req ire more than news. 'Ihe Weekly Himes gathers off the types of every passing week whatever has lasting Interest to people at large 1 , and sels it before them in such oaity of paper and print as would havj astonished us all twenty years ago. Daily— Twelve cents a woes;, fifty cents a month, $G a year, two cents a copy. Sunday— Four cents a copy, f2 a year. weekly— Oae $2 con a us ener copies, §8 a year; ten copies, §15 year; twenty copies, 825 a year, with one copy free to the getter-up of every club. THE TIMES.
