tion to business men, and one that
only business men can answer.
We have the assurance from thou-
‘ sands of them who largely adver
tise that it does pay, if judiciously
pursued, and many of them have
. given their testimony'in favor of
it If the reader will take up any
of the city papers from day to day
for years, he will find the columns
fiilled with the announcements of
leading business bouses. They
do not come before the public at
long intervals, but regularly, dai
ly, changing their advertisements
with the variations in their stocks,
qualities and prices of goods, thus
not only attracting attention to
what they have to sell, but arous
ing the desire of buyers to examine
what is offered; thus making cus
tomers and popularizing their
places of business. This class of
men will tell you, in this day of
competition, that it would be im
possible to do business, or secure
anything like an average trade, if
they did not invite custom by giv
ing in detail a clear statement of
what they have got to sell.
On the other hand, thousands of
men who have started, in business
with fair capital, plenty of push
and a knowledge of trade, have
gone to the wall simply because
they “hid their light under a bush
el,” in failing to compete, with
their neighbors in having the buy
ing public know where they were,
wbajfc they were selling, and what
inducements they had to offer. A
man may have the best stock of
goods in the market, but if he fails
to invite custom or make known
the inducements he can offer, he is
sure to drop behind in the race,
while his sharper brother is reap
ing a rich harvest.
pussy’s eye i6 small and of oval
shape, while in a full glare of light
it becomes narrow. . Now, in the
dark it expands to a circle and
nearly-fills the circle of the eye
ball. This peculiarity of the cat’s
eye is turned to account in a curi
ous manner by the Chinese. The'
Abbe Hue relates that when he j
was traveling in 'China he asked
his attendant what time it was.
The man went over to a cat that
was quietly basking in the sun,
and examing its eyes, told the abbe
that it was about two hours after
noon, and on being questioned how
he knew-that, he explained that
the pupils of a cat’s eyes were
largest in the morning, and that
they gradually grew smaller as the
light increased till they reaeh their
minimum at noon; that they began
to widen again, till at night they
once more became large. The good
abbe was filled with admiration at
the ingenuity of a people who could
use cats as clocks. But it must be
admitted that this way of telling
the time of day is a rather loose
one, and could only be trusted in
very clear and serene weather, for
temporary gloom or the darkness
of a storm would sadly derange
your four-footed clock and put it
all wrong.

T. Warren Aiken, who, is a
strong supporter of Col. Everett,
sent the following to the Borne
Tribune of Sunday: “A public
meeting was held here in Carters-

the Borne convention. About 59
wore present, of whom 50 were Ev

Over 600 of Dr. Felton’s friends,
neighbors and fellow-citizens, have
signed a petition asking him not to
run for congress, stating that they
felt it their duty to do all in their
power to elect- Mr. Everett, as he
waB fairly nominated. Bartow is
. practically solid for Everett.”
Canon Taylor, of the Church of
England, is now of the opinion
that some better way must be
found to convert the heathen of
Asia and Africa. By natural
growth of population they are in
creasing at the rate of 11,000,000
a year. By spending §10,000,000
a year the Protestant missionaries
convert an average of 60,000 heath
ens. The numbers are constantly
swelling on the wrong side. Canon
Taylor says it is like a tortoise
racing with a railway train—“the
longer the race continues the fur
ther the tortoise is lest behind.”
Instead of growing new varieties
of roses now, florists simply grow
ordinary white roses and dip them
in a chemical solution which, in
a single hour, converts them into
the most magnificent yellow tea
roses, the rare scarlet red roses, or
gives them that peculiar shade of
bluish violet color which has been
one of the favorites of the season.

A movement is well on foot to
import Egyptian cotton into Mas

making the necessary arrange

transportation from the Southern
States is so great that money can
be saved by making this change.
Regularly every six months the
treasury department receives eith
er a.S20 of a §50 bill which, from
all appearances, instead of being'
madetfronTa plate, is executed en
tirely with a pen. The work is of
a very high order, and several
times these bills have defied detec
tion and passed on their tour of
circulation unhindered. The coun
terfeiter seems to be a genius who
yearns for notoriety, as lie could
make his living by his penman
ship. The culprit has not yet
been captured,.though efforts have
been- made to find him, and it is
believed that he has had the pleas

“Man wants but little here be

quite satisfied with his wages and

Gentlemen—A member of my
family has been afflicted with asth
ma for several years, the attacks
recurring from time to time as is
usual with this disease. In May
or June of last year, 1889, these
attacks bscame almost continuous,
hardly a day oF night passed with
out suffering from the distressing
attacks until I became alarmed on
account7of the loss of sleep and
the severity of the disease, fearing
a general decline of health. Icon-
sulted several eminent physicians
in New York and in this city, but
with no. beneficial results from
their prescriptions, v About the
first of September she commenced
using- the Microbe Killer, and
since that time has never had a re
turn of the paroxysms, and her
general health 1 as been corre
spondingly improved. I can cheer
fully recommend the Microbe Kill
er to all asthmatic sufferers.
