The DAY BooK-The progress of the
peoples Organ" is, so far, very hatter-
ing; as its circulation has already reach
ed a larger number than was ever known
in this section of Virginia before, and the
demand is still on the increase. We are
daily receiving gratifying evidences of the
favor in which the Day Book is held by
the masses" The rich read it, because
it is cheap and they do not miss the small
amount it costs, whilst the poor take it
because it is the only paper they can af-
ford to take. All classes and conditions of
the community seek its columns, because
they like the manner in which the pa
per is conducted.
We throw out the above hint to those
who have property, goods, Or COM
modities of any kind to dispose of
houses to rent, or slaves to hire, or who.
have lost anything and wish to find it, or,
in brief, those who wish to talk to the
"masses" in regard to whatever business
they may be pursuing or whatever
wants they have. The penny paper -
the peoples organ-the paper that the
masses patronize-is the paper for them.
As an evidence of this fact, we refer with
pride to the advertising columns of the
Day Book, which are rapidly filling up by
those who duly appreciate its impor-
lance, as penny paper of large circula-
ton, to the business interests OF our city.

life caused by the foul spirit of destruc-
ton, Camphene, must be looked upon as
one stepi the progress of human excel
lence. So, we look upon it that the man
ufacture and sale of any article affording
an equal degree of Illuminating power to
Camphene, stripped of its dangerous pro-
perties, is consideration of vast impor-
lance to the public.
Mr.. VIM. FL Buck announces the pur-
chase of an exclusive right to manufac-
ture an article called ''no,a-Erplosire Bur-
ming Ftuid,' which affords a more bril-
liant light than Camphene at cost of 10
per cent less than that article, and which,
as it's title indicates, is without it's danger

favor of this article is that it is manufac-
tured in our own community, and what
ever is done in our own midst, since the
money remains here, goes to enrich the

terprize which tends to promote business
