■low to Build up a Tovvu,
An exchange gives tho following rules
for making a livo town:
1. Sell your building lots at reasonable
prices.
2. If yon cuu afford to, donate a build
ing lot for some large business enterprise,
and thereby enhance the value of town
property.
3. Induce husinecs men to locate in
your owu town.
4. Tutronizo the business men of your
town.
5. Always sum up your expenses when
you visit places outsido ofyour own town
to buy goods.
6. Speak well of worthy public enter-
piiscs.
7. If anything should ho undertaken
that may bo nfboiiclit to the town, do not
speak ill of it to others because you hap
pen to be prejudiced aguiust it.
8. Speak well to strangers ofyour town
and people.
9. If you have surplus money, do not
invest in far off speculation, hut give
yourself ami your town the benefit of it
by establishing Home profitable factory.
10. Encourage your local newspaper
by subscribing for, uud advertising ’in,
uud paying for it.
Advertising Rates.
As some of our business men seem to
think that the advertising rates of the
Rkcoudkii are pretty high, we give them
a few figures as to tho rates charged by
tho St. Louis papers. A quarter column
Advertising space in the duily tllobc-
Democrat commands $3,1-18 per annum
In the St. Louis He publican a like space
commands $2,000. A full page adver
tisement in cither of thesn papers for
onedny costs $500. One column adver
tisement for one day cost $80. In order
to get a local in tho (ilobe-Democrat at
flirty cents a line each issue, tho adver
tiser must take $1,000 worth per aiiuuiii.
Notwithstanding the high rates, the suc
cessful business men of tho city, find it
is as profitable to their business to adver
tise judiciously vs to occupy a good local
ity. While the circulation of the Rk-
ciiKDKH i< not quite as largo as that of
the St. Louis papers, its advertising rates
ure much lower ill proportion to circula
tion; a fact which the merchants of At
lanta aud Macon appreciate, nml wo have
no difficulty iu securing from them rates
which some of our nur‘chants cduller
exorbitant.
The Southern Cultivator,
We have received the January number
of the Southern Culticator and Dixie bar-
mrr, the oldest, ns it is the best, agricul
tural journal in the Southern States. It
is now published by Jus. I*. Harrison &
Co., of Atlanta. Dr. W. L Jonos, for
years the editor of this popular journal,
retains liis position; Dr. J. S. Lawton is
tho ussociato. Under this management,
the Southern i'alticator will not only
maintain its former high standard, but,
with the assistance of ample capital and
increased facilities, ami contributions
from the most 'eminent nml popular
writers on agriculture iu this couutry,
will uttuin a higher standing than ever.
Tho tiuniher before us is a gem. No
journal of its kind can excel it in the val
ue ot its reading matter, the beauty of it t
illustrations, nml its adaption to the de
mands of progressive Southern agricul
ture. The illustrated title page is the
finest of the kind wo have ever seen. The
Souther Vnlticator and Dixie Farmer
should bo read and studied by every
ler and planter iu lira South. The
ts aro $1.50 a year, with special rates
dubs, are remarkably low. We mi
