HAR oE CHILDRgS.-ltis is a great mis-
take to plat the hair o: children under
eleven or twelve years Of age. The pro.
cess of plating more or less strains the
hairs in their roots by pulling them tight;
teE'ls to deprive them Of their requisite
supply Of nutriment, and cheeks their
g'ow'h. The hairs Of girls should be cut
rather short, aud allowed to curl freely
When they are about eleven or twelve.
the hair should be twisted into coil not
TOO tight, nor tied ut the end with thin
thread but with piece Ct ribbon.

A SUGGESTION.

Now that the Merchants Of our town and Vi
cinity, have commenced receiving their Fall and
Winter stocks we think a little wholesome ad-
vice on the subject of Advertising, would be
by no means amiss. The value of Printers
Ink cannot be questioned by those who have
tried the experiment of Advertising. Our col
umns ample testimonials, OF the fact that
sn t',>s ~esi i" ,nu"y o~,,~r i,,e,~reor,
Merchants very liberal indeed. Those who
advertise are our largest Merchants The
son is papable to those who convass the
merits of the subject. Many poor men have
become princey merchants in this way, and it
is reasonable to suppose whatever has been
done, may act as a criterien for the future. 4
gentleman just commencing in business told us
sometime since that he intended to spend taco
hundred and Jifty dollars, during each year, for
Printers Ink. The consequence is, and it has
not been many months since he spoke to us On
the subject, he sells more goods in his line, than
any other merchant engaged in q similar bust
ness in this place. These instances are innumer-
able we can recollect many, even in our own
community. Try its friends and our word for it
your business will increase, much more rapidly,
than you imagine.
Advertise literally. It is the secret of sue
cess to all, it matters not what their business
may no
