This is the best opportunity that we know of lor any man wanting a good place, cheap, suitable for dairying or farming purpo-es. The onry reason for wishing to sell, is that the present owner Mr. C. M. Stark is about to engage in other busi ness. iZKlt is not the polished orator who shapes public opinion, but the quiet editor, whose words go out to the public ear without parade or ceremony. The orator may please the car or tickle the fan cy; but the editor does mere: He satisfies the mind, and carries to every household a fund of knowledge. The orator, by burn ing words and impassioned eloquence, may drive men to aense of duty; but an editor it he be true to his profession, at tracts men by the presentation of his thoughts which appeal to the nobler qual ities of head and heart. The words of the orator drop from the lips and are lost, while the words of the editor drop from the press, and like coined money, pass for what they are worth; if pure gold in the truths conveyed, they pass current every where. For good or evil, the edito wields a powerful influence. He can exalt or debase a community. He can advance public corruption. How important, then, that the editor should be a good man, and that all papers that convey correct senti ment to the public ear&houlu leceive lib eral support. How Advertising Affects Busi ness. The man who advertises his busi ness, if what he offers for sale is honestly what he represents it to be or what it ought to be, is constantly assisted in his business by those who have been attracted to him and tested him. A buyer has read his adveitisement, and gone to his store or work shop, warehouse, whatever it may be, and tried what was recommended. If it has satUHed him he is pleased and i . commends it to his neighbor, who is likely to go to the same place and tell his neigh bor in turn. And thus little rills stai ted by his advertisement flow in upon him from all side, and the current of his busi ness grows stronger and wider and more rapid, and he prospers and grows rich, all because strict attention in business he added judicious advertising. But for this he might have lingered on in the commu nity lor years and his business would scarcely have been heard of. An Editor's Appeal. As the report that we are very wealthy has gone abroad among our subscribers, and has made them awful slow about paying up, think ing, doubtless, we do not want the money, we hasten to &ay the report of our wealth is false in every particular. If ocean steamers were selling at a cent a dozen, we could not make the first payment on a canoe. The lightning of poverty has struck us square, and had it not been for an armful of hay which our devil man aged to steal from a blind mule, our family ouki be without a mouthful to eat at the present moment. Is not this a sad picture, and can you de linquent subscribers look upon it without feeling the coin rattle with indignation in your pockets. We do not like to dun you but we must if you fail to take the hint. "It Pays to Advkrtisk." This is true in every department of, business, and no one ap preciates its truth more fully than S. 11. Thompson. Some time since he received the Agency, for this county, of the Cunningham 'Garden City Clipper I'low," and immediate ly advertised the same in our paper. Green B. Smith, Ksq.. a patron of the Gazette, saw the advertisement and forthwith rushed to Thompson's and purchased four of these cele brated plowfl which at once have sprung into popular favor. 2s o mater how good and valu able an article may be, a merchant 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, tor years Jlr. Thompson carried on business here, and spent but little for advertising. Within the past two years his business has increased nearly double, and he attributes it to judicious advertising.
