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. If you
