OUR AIVEKTISEKS.
"We have had a number of persons
tell us that we deserved great credit
and a hearty support for the, interest
wo have shown and'the amount of
attention the NewsJisis attracted to
wards Grant County duringjlie past
eight months. Now while we like to
be complimented as well as'fany one
and to hear cheering words sioken
of our paper, we do not take the
praise all to our own door. "We are
now going to have our sny.
While we have labored, as no oth
er editor in: this State has done, for
the past eight months; having no aid
other than that of our apprentice,
has thrown a large amount of man
ual labor upon us in addition to oth
er duties. Although not a an edi
torial has ever entered the News that
was not written by us. we say, tak
ing the above into consideration, that
our advertisers are equally prais
worthy with us. The first thing a man
does that is hunting a new count.iv,
or new location, is to carfully exam
ine the advertising columns of the
.county paper, and right there and
then is the time when one merchant
or business man that advertises in
his county paper is worth forty that
do not, and should receive patron
age accordingly. For a man judges
by the kind and amount of advertis
ing a paper has what kind of a town
and country it draws its supjjort
from, and nine men out of ten will
decide from the appearance of the
advertising columns of a paper as to
which county or town they will em
igrate to to prosper. A wise man has
said: "When the business men of
a town fail to advertise extensively
the' diminish the importance and
trade of the place and jjcrmit more
enterprising localities to take the
latter from them. Although done
for their individual interest, adver
tisers should be looked on by the
citizens ofthe town where they re
side as in some sense public benefac
tors, and they should be encouaged
accordingly, and should be for this
reason alone preferred, assuming
that he is, of course, a fair business
man. "
Dear reader, after consideration,
don't you think as we do ? if you do
then peruse our columns and freeze
to the men that advertise, for thev
speak volumes for Grant Count in
and throught tho News every week.
They deserve as much praise, in
proportion, as we do, for without
their patronage we could not pub
lis The Grant County News.
"We learn that the Lewistou stn:e
was ctopped near Pataha hy highway
men, and robbed of Well., Fjiruo &
Cos treasury boxes. The passengers,
Mrs. Duniway and a chinaman, were
not molested. After ceninr what
they wanted, they allowed the stage to
pass oo.

""Why. you silly fellow, it means that
I'm your cousin, Doia Cri'iglitnn, situl
that I'm glad, oh ! so glad, On, that I
did'nt take your nvney, never to re
turn it; and I'm more glad -till that,
we have met before they made this dis
covery, and that you loved me iu tpite
of what people paid."
He was so stupefied that he could
only manage to say:
"Why, did you know what they
said?"
She drew herself up to her fullest
height and looked him proudly in the
face.
"Certainly, I did'nt know it, or I
would have found out the truth and told
you all, at the time you asked me to he
waiting for your return. I always
thought 1 was grandpapa's daughter
for you know when my mother died,
we left the place where I was born, and
went to the village where you met me.''
He began to realize it then, but still
you can imagine that he felt rather
aw k ward.
-"Andsj my little Dora is the heir
ess ?" he began by way of prelude, but
she interrupted him.
"No, Con, I'm not. I don't wont the
money, imr grandpa nor grandma don't
want ir. We were happy before, and
we can be happy again if "
And then she stopped, the violet eyes
drooped, and Con was himself again as
he stooped towards her, saying:
"Very well, darling; but I must take
you, too, for security."
Three months after the security was
paid, and the golden link oi the marri
age tie riveted the agreement for ever,
while withsmilingscrenitv Mrs. Creiirh
ton, senior, looked on, entirely forget
ting her old advocacy of Gertrude Mow
bray, and her old aversion to the little
country girl whose "pn-tty face" had
attracted Con's attentions.
