The above advertisement we get
from the last McMinnviIle Era, ana
we want to make a few remarks
about it. First, we would ask our
brother in the art if DR., 5. ?. Shelton
has paid him for the advertisement
If he has not, the "Dr." has "hogged"
our brother Era, certain, for DR.. D. r.
Shelton, alias "ProG. Geo. II. DcBar,'
is a rascal, a swindlcr, an lmpostcr'
and will not do, though we fear ne has
done brother Wallace, Of the Era, 10
the tune of four or five dollars. Ana
not only is DR.. S. p. Shelton a hum'
bug, but so is his Whiskerando. Now
who in the world is simple enough 10
believe that his stuff will cause luXu'
RANT whiskers to grow in n mohth
"where there was none before" Inc
"Dr."is pretty shrcwd. He has been
II boy in his time and felt the ambition
of Youngsters for beard. lie knows
that "A beardIcss youth Will see his q
ycrtisemcnt, and if he can raise a dol
lar by any honorable MEANS nc VIII
send it right of to"Dr. 5. L. Shelton
New York City," and the DR." gets
the dollar and chuckles over the impo'
sition he has pracliccd. Now, we are
aware ofthc anxiety, as before stated
that ~pervados young men TO nave
"~whiskcrs." No ooncr does a little
down appear on their upper Up lhan
they commence shaving to make 1t
grow faster and thicker; and let US
tell you. young men, that is really the
best thing you "a do to effect your
purpose. Just shave yourselves Ire
qucntIy, bat don't apply to "Dr' s. /.
Shelton" for he'll Mare you sure
enough. The Dr." cmploys the razor
of deception and keeps it sharp BY
advertising in the papers. In some
instances he may pay the editor for
thus sharpening his razor, but in turn
he more than makes up for his loss by
shuciuy the increase Of customers.
Now, friend Wallace, are you not
sharpening DR.. S. p. ShcIdon's razor
for him! BE chary, lest the Dr. SAare
you. Already we know of n clever
Young friend Of ours not many doors
distant, who has been shaued by DR..
S. p. Sheldon, and the shave cost our
friend one dollar, and yet to-day his
face is almostas free from a%"luXurlant
growth Of whiskcrs" as is Il maiden's
of sweet sixteen. We know young
editor in our town. too, who was shay
ed by "Dr. $. =. Sheldon to the
amount of three months advertising.
But the days are owe when such char
Ictans as DR.. $. p. Sheldon could
humbug us. We've cut our wisdom
teeth in this respect. These men Nv
ing in the Northern cities, who write
advertisements for southern ncwspa-
prrs, and stick REV." or 'Dr," or
"Prof.," before their names can no lon

tried it, but we didn't bite, and we
didn't get hooked. And now our re
pard for the interests of our brethren
of the press makes us suggest that
they pursue the course we do Don't
allow these ~rascalS to mislcad and de-
ccivc your readers, as well us cheat
non. Better take our advice, friend
Wallace, and drop out the Dr's. card
forthwith. Take his sign down, and
whenever you sec him 'hoggins" any
of your brothers Of the quill, tell them
about the Dr's p~ropensitics Tor haclng'

about something more worthy.
