Advertisements are really news for
the housekeeper, business man,
young man and woman and often
for the boys and girls. They tell
you where you can get the best to
supply the larder, to furnish the
homo, to assist you in business and
to make your person neat and at
tractive and where you may save a
few dollais, tor marohants buying
in larger lots some special class of
goods can seoure a lower rate and
oft* therefore oifer to sell them
oheaper. Because an advertiser
pays us for the priviledge ot tell
ing you about his goods is no
reason why it oannot be considered
news.

We advise all country newspapers
to employ girl printers. They ate
more reliable, they stay sober, do
not curse the type or abuse the sun

take the railroad track for the next

They are bettor oieatures any how,
more agreeable and do not worry
the life ont of you with epithets
