Advertise An exchange says: Maybe you think that people don't like to read advcitiseincnts ! if you do you are much mistaken. Fresh, well-put wcllfplaced ad vertisements are news ! They aro welcomed, read nay, studied I The newspaper that is alive with them is increasingly acceptable and so is the business house that knows how to get them up. possessed withal with the sagacity and nerve to keep them up. Take Your Lop l Paii:k. 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 lirownsville, who told us, a short time ago, that he had made anbO-acre tract of land by being a reader of tho Demo crat, lie had been wanting for a long time to buy an 0, adjoining his farm, but could getno track of the owner, xvho was a non-resident of the State, and finally saw it advertised for tax sale in tho Democrat. Jle attended the sale and bought it for a nominal sum, and is now the owner of it Alb'inj Democrat. "War.vi.vg to Delinquent Sl'rscriijers. 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, aro giving up wordly affairs, woaring a shroud, and ordering their coffins. On every road aro men repairing to Moscow to be consecrated priests, in order that tho smallest village may have its own priest and church. Tho Russian paper fails to stato whether its delinquent subscribers have taken tho scare and paid up. That to our mind would be stronger evidence of tho approach of the Millennium than any thing that a super stitious Cossack could advance. Don't Read Advertisements. Occasionally jl business man is encountered who professes to believe that4 people don't read advertise ments any how !" A greater mistake is sel dom made. Jf 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 set up " fating," where upon "we were duly notified of the error bj seven JSalinasites and one Chinaman, and last ly, the Monterey Herald felt in duty bound to notify us also. Daily Recorder, Salinas City, California. "It Pays to Advi rtise." This is true in every department of business, and no one ap preciates its truth more fully than S. J I. Thompson. Some time since he received the Agency, for this county, of the Cunningham "(iarden City Clipper Plow," and immediate ly advertised the same in our paper. Green . Smith, I'sq.. a patron of the Gazette, saw the advertisement and forthwith rushed to Thomj son's and purchased four of these ccle- brated plows which at once have sprung into popular favor. IS o mater how good and valu able an article may be, a merchant or dealer may keen 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, lor years Mr. Ihompson carried on business here, and spent but little for advertising. ithin the past two years his business has increased nearly double, and he attributes it to judicious advertising.
