The above was written by one of our
many subscribers at Andersonville,
to which we will state; the Anderson

Republican was placed in the post
office at Americas on Friday, Febru

that afternoon, reaching that place in
twenty or thirty minutes. We can
not give any idea what became of
them, unless the two car loads of ex-
Ohio soldiers decorated the graves of
their comrades with them at that

We are frequently asked:
“Does advertising pay?”
In reply, will state that running
business without advertising is very
much like putting np a sign in our

what we are doing and what we have
for sale, but the rest of the world-
how are they to find out about it?
But it is no use to advertise unless one
has the goods and will make the prices

work of art. The picture, from a
painting by Copelapd, of Boston,
artistically divided into three scenic
sections; the first, a view of early sun
rise, with fine atmospheric effect, re
presents the wheelman’s morning
ride; the centre scene, appropriately
framed by the tire of an Expert bicy

picturesque country, a lady riding
upon a tricycle accompanied by
mounted bicyclist, crossing a rustic
bridge in the foreground; the last
scene is a wheel by moonlight, the
bright rays of the hub-lights cutting
the semi-darkness. Upon the back of
the panel is a poem descriptive of th*
picture.
