Advertise An exchange says: Maybe you think that people don't like to read advertisements ! If you do you are much mistaken. Fresh, well-put well-placed ad-, vertisemcnts are news ! They aro welcomed, road nay, studied ! The newspaper that is alive with them is increasingly acceptable and s is the business house that knows how to get them up, possessed withal with the sagacity and nerve to keep them up. Take Your Local Paper. A man in Marion county last week saved SloO by taking his local paper, the Mercury, and there is a man in this county, near Brownsville, who told us, a short time ago, that he had made anfcU-acrc tract of land by being a reader of the Demo crat. 11 e had been wanting for a long time to buy an 80, adjoining his-farm, but could get no track of the owner, who was a non-resident of the State, and finally saw it advertised Tor tax sale in the Democrat, lie attended the sale and bought it for a nominal sum, and is . now the owner o f it Albany Democrat. "Warning to Delinquent SuuscuniEns. A Russian paper announces that a belief in the approaching end of the world has seized on the Cossacks of the Don. Many, especially aged people, are giving up wordly affairs, wearing a shroud, and ordering their collins. On every road are men repairing to Moscow to be consecrated priests, in order that the smallest village may have its own priest and church. Ihe Russian paper fails to state whether its delinquent subscribers have taken the scare and paid up. That to our mind would be stronger evidence of the approach of the Millennium than any thing that a super stitious Cossack could advance. Don't Read Advertisements. Occasionally :i business man is encountered who professes to believe that people don't read advertise ment? any how !" A greater mistake is sel dom made, if a typographical error creeps into an ad. it soon becomes the talk of the neighborhood, and if the people do not read ads. how do they ' drop' on errors with such facility ? The other day the advertisement of the Centennial Restaurant appeared, in which the word eating" was at up fating," where upon "we weie duly notified of the error by seven Salinasitcsand one Chinaman, and last ly, the Monterey Herald felt in duty bound to notify us also. Daily Jtccuidcr, Salinas City, California. "It Pys to Advertise." This is true in every department of businers, and no one ap preciates its truth more fully than S. 11. Thompi-on. Some time since ho received the Agency, for this county, of the Cunningham 'Harden City Clipper flow," and immediate ly advertised the same in our paper. (Jreen B. Smith, '.sq.. a patron of the Hazette, saw the advertisement and forthwith rushed to Thompson's and purchased four of these cele brated plows which at once have sprung into popular favor. o mater how good and valu able an aiticle may bo, a mcjuhant or dealer may keep it upon his shelves, or in his store for months, or even years, and but lew will know anything of its good qualities, unless he advertises. 1-or years Mr. 'J hompson carried on business heio, and spent but little for advertiing. ithin the past two years his busino.-s has increased nearly double, and he attributes itto judicious advertising.
