How Advertising Pay*.
As the spring trade is about opening
it will interest otir merchants, whole
sale and retail, to learn that Mr. R. W.
Wright, editor of the Richmond Jour
nal, now on a t*ip through the North,
tells how Edward Maliey built lip one
of the largest dry goods trades in New
England. He ssys: ‘About eighteen
years ago Mr.Malley appeared in New
Haven, and opened a small ‘seven by
nine’ drygoods store on theprincipal
street qf the •. city. At that time the
heaviest merchants of the^street-scarcely
advertised in the local papers to the en-
tent of move than two squares each, and
in standing advertisements for the sea
son. Mr. Maliey, with a degree of sa
gacity that no one else had ever dared
evince, strqpk oat boldly in the adver
tising line, engaging a colnmn in each
of the tWec Ioeal d&ies With the priv
ilege of .changing the same every week,
and. making his advertisements the most
readable part - of the newspapers. For
this he paid eaeb of the newspapers at
the rate of one~ to two thousand dollars
a year The old fogy merchants stood
aghast at his hardihood, and everybody
predicted that he would ‘g° up’ iC has
than that time—-to the very height of
the mercantile ladder. His store, in a
few months, expanded from a ‘seveih by
nine’ room into the occupancy of the
-whole building in which it was situated,
and in less than a year he was doing the
largest husiness of any merchant in the
city. He kept up his “reckless adver
tising,’ as it was called, and to-day he

When the train was stopped the man

arms and his back were broken, and his
body otherwise dreadfully mangled and

It is not known positively . that the
man was drunk, though it is known
that he had been drinking some, and a

Martin had intended to (take the up
freight train for Fgrsyth, which goes up
about five o’cloek. The last seen of him
by any one in the neighborhood he was
sitting, on a cross-tie. The probability
is that he sat there until,being under the
influence of liquor, he grew drowsy, aftd
forgetting his dangerous 'situation, laid
down upon the track and went to sleep
That is, perhaps, the most reasonable
solution of the matter. The man lost his
life through the influence of liquor,-and
not through any purpose to destroy his
own life.
Coroner Dewberry was summoned and
held an inquest over the remains, and
th<» jury returned a vedict that Martin
was killed by a freight train on the
Macon and Western Railroad.

Geography of tho Farm-
The Rural Son in impressing •• upon
its readers’ minds the necessity' of sys
tem in farming, as in everything else,
urges the careful mapping out of the
farm, Vith dll its natural features- and
its'artifieisLdivisions, and adds:
Nothing will so much conduce to the
adoptiuu of a system of workiiig - the
fartn as a well - prepared map r hUOg
where then farmer can see it eyery day.
It will be sure to set him to thinking
and planning how bast to pitch, his
crops, and- how best to’ work to sate'
work. And once the. farmer adopts *’
system of farming, he starts on the road
to'success. It matters not that the sye-.,
tem is not the best that could be deriv
ed, so long as it is a system it is infi
nitely to be preferred to the haphaiard
practice of many farmers. We, there
fore, advise every reader who owns a
farm to make a map of it and hang it
