The PRESS AND Coon BUSINESS. There
is no discount on the truth of this par
agraph. Some men advertise for a
short time after they commence bust
ness, and think that is sufficient; 9TH
ers intermit advertising after they
have established a flourishing business
by its aid. This is a mistake. From
the moment a house ceases to adver-
tise, however large it's reputation and
standing, it begins to decline. The
changes are so rapid in this country,
the public mind so constantly occupied
by new applicants for it's favor and it's
attention, that, to be out of the papers,
where everybody seeks for informa,
ton on every subject, is to be forgot.
ten. The press is daily more and more
becoming a necessity, and it's useful
ness as an advertising medium is as
constantly increasing. No man is
wise or just to himself, who undertakes
to do business without availing him
self of it's advantages. By reference
to our advertising columns it will be
seen that the business men of West
Union, McGregor, Prairie du Chen
Madison, Milwaukee, and last, though
not least, our own town, are aware Of
the benefits that will accrue to then
by making known their business
through a public journal.

For fear his fumes might choke her;

Have kisses for smoker

ANDERsON's.

Ifany one has desire to see the per-
fiction to which the manufacture of wooden
fabrics has been carried in Franc, and Ger
many, and to see how nearly American skill
and ingenuity can rival the most beautiful
products of foreign looms, We recommend
them to call at ANDERsoNs, and examine
the great variety ofelegant and superb cloths
he has recently received, bought at the low
est prices since the crash; and if he has any
desire to test the wear and durability of
these fabrics, he can get a fit as fine and ell
egant as the cloths themselves. 1t is hardly
safe to lead men into such temptations in
these hard times, but there will be no sin
in looking at these beautiful productions OF
skill.

THE VALUE OF CRors AND LAND
An intelligent citizen Of Posey county,
well acquainted with its farms and pro-
ducts. has made calculation that the
crops Of wheat and corn raised in that
county this season, II sold, the former Of
one dollar and the latter at thirty cents
per bushel, would produce larger sum,
than all the improved land in the county
would sell for at its present valuation
which is deemed very high one. But
lands cannot be over valued when an an.
nua' crop at fair price is equal to the
price Of the land. And Q community
must be growing rich that can produces
every year the value of its farms in agri.
cultural products.
