THE POST.
WEDNESDAY, APRIL 10, IHV.>
R. L. HICKS,
EDITOR AND PROPRIETOR
AilvrrtiaiiiK Put cut* MvilicincH
Wc reprint the following sensible
remarks from the lluwkmsvillc Dis
fnitnh, because they agree bo well with
our own views ami practice** in con
ducting the Post. As our readers
know a patent medicine law never
been advertised in tho Post. The
Dispatch says:
“Wc often wonder what prices our
brethren of the Georgia Press re
coivc for advertising the many patent
inedicines displayed in their columns.
Messrs. Paucity & Co., of New York,
have made us three propositions to
insert Tiitt’a and Naddford's electro
types—tho former ten uud the hitter
six inches. Their lirst pio|M>sition
was for about 148, less usual commis
sion, for both advertisements one
year, payublc in Pago’s wood typo,
metal job typo, or nows ink. Their
second proposition was $65, and
tiioir lost, proposition for $70. We
have declined all—not that wo don’t
want advertising, but because we bo-
lievc that such advertisements—
usually displayed in huge, blaok
typo*—mar the uppoumneo of a pa-
|>cr, and tho render Incomes greatly
disgusted at finding them before him
every week for a year.
A country paper that can work up
*ix hundred, eight hundrod or a
thousand good puy>in-udvnnco sub
scribers, cun do bottor business by
giving reading matter than by Insert
ing such advertisements.
Wo boliovo advertising agencies
could bo mado beneficial to publish
ers, but tho publisher will find it
nocossarv to bo exacting and dis
criminating in making contracts.
We hoc tluit somo of our exchanges
are advertising “Smith’s Worm Oil,”
uud if the hideous looking roptiles,
squirming in tho air, aro not sulli-
oiont to disgust a modest and sensible
reader, tho language of tho advertise
ment must assnrodly do so. A
child IIvo yours old—forty worms one
time, and so many tho next time
“couldn’t count ’om.” Such a nau
seating pioturo and languago are
enough to render a paper an unwel
come visitor in any household.
Tho oiroulntiou of the Dispatch is
botwoon sixty and seventy quiroa,
and Wo think wo aro justified in re
fusing an advortisomont at tho same
prioo paid to papers of oight hundrod
or uino hundred oiroulation. This
is tho ninth year since wo rosumod
control of tho Dispatch, and it hus
boon our constant aim to plou80>our
subscribers rather than soouro advor-
tisements “to fill up.” Wo startod
with less than a dozen cash subscri
bers, but wo sot out to do u cash bus
iness and to get pay for all our work.
Ton subscribers and twenty dollars
cash aro worth more “in tho long
run” than a twenty dollar udvortisc-
incut of six or oight inehos published
for a year. That is tho oaloulation
wo have mado, and nine years in the
business confirms ns that wo are
right.”
Truth Hi ranger than Fiction,
[Cbehrum Knkrpri#?'] •,
Mr. Robert Nichols vouches for
the following wonderful story: An
elderly lady living near him bus for
twenty years carried a brass pin in
her mouth, day and night during
which time it has never been out of
her month. She frequently moves
it from ono sido to the other, and by
request will exhibit it on tho tongne,
but not suffer it, under any oiroum-
stanees, to be removed from tho
mouth. Slw will not communicate
her reasons for this very strange
freak. We know Mr. Kiohols to bo
perfectly reliable aud truthful.
Mothers now need have no fear of
brass pins producing sore mouth;
still, you children had hotter use
them for some other purpose.
Swainsboro Hr raid: “Prof. G. J,
Orr, State school commissioner, will
address the citizens of this county
at tho Court House, on the 23d
mst., on tho educational interests of
the day. He favors Hie Moffett Boll
Punch, and a dog tax. The address
will, m» doubt, U* highly entertaining
aud instructive, and we hope that
Professor Orr will have a large
audience.”
The English have suffered another
disaster at the hands of Hie Zulus in
Sooth Africa.
Superior Court.
The April term of Suj>erior court
for this county was ushered in last
Monday by a rainy und bln
taring morning. But towards the
middle of the forenoon the rains
ceased the winds lulled and the peo
ple poured in apace till ns large n
crowd assembled as is common for
the first day of court. Tho Grand
Jury being impaneled, retired select
ed Mr. Daniel II. Coombs ns foreman,
returned and were sivom in, when
Judge Pate proceeded to dolivor a
clear aud impressive charge touching
the duties of that important body.
Ho dwelt with emphasis upon the
deadly hip-pocket aud the still more
deadly jug. And his natu
rally incisive language was made
burningly eloquent by tho fact that
the Jury and the people felt and
knew thut tho life example of the
judge was the ciubodiiftcut of tho
precept ho was endeavoring to incui-
eato.
Tho visjting attorneys aro: Col.
Wm. A. Lofton nml I. Hardeman,
Esq., of Macon ; Col. E. M. Broyles

brought to trial. To speak .a little
more accurately, it has once or twico
boon taken out of court, but only ti
bo brought hack with ronowod dotor-
initiation on both sides. Tho nature
of tho case is well known to most of
our roudoiN. Tho trial is in progross
as wc go to pross and will probably
last two or threo days.

Tho State of Ohio realized last
year by tho tax on dogs the hand

doubtful if Ohio burbot's so many

no revenue at all from tho dogs. On
tho other hand, however, Ohio is one
of the greatest shcop-raising States
on tho continent—Licking county
having 200,544 licud, worth $461,123

Representative Stephens is a man
of decided ability, but lie has never
yot turned it to any acponiit. His
vanity always runs away with him
and henco ho is nevor found in accord
with anybody else, lie is always
imprketicablo and running into un
heard of vagaries. To call him a
Democratic statesman is a misnomer,
for although now in affiliation with
Democrats there is hardly a senti
ment, principle or measures approved
by them which commands his assefft.

his influcnco is lost by his excessive

DEDICATKD TO UKHKAYKD MOTHERS.
Bright hud of beauty and of love.
Wo Would not weep thine early death,
Or sigh that thou art hcuce removed
Par from the cold world's blighting breath
That all those opening charms which gave
Sweet promiic to a parent’s breast.
Lie fading in the cold, dark grave,
That lowly couch of dreamless rest!
No/ rather with Faith's steadfast eye
We'd trace thy radiant path above,
Would view thee gently borne ou high,
To realms of everlasting love.
There,- nestled on a Saviour's breast.
Thou tnn'st thy little harp to praise:
Oh, such a lot / how bright how blest,
How rich thc’closc of thy young days!
Oh, never shall one thrill of pain
Distort again thy little brow,
Or tear drops dint tho soft bine eye,
8o bright with Heaven's own rapture now,
