Congress ought to grant the Farm Mort,
gaoors Of our State some relief, either by

method would meet more opposition than
the other from Rail Road men and Bond
holders who would vested rights under the
original grant and the action Of the Rail

claim is utterly groundless and has neither
law nor equity TO support it, it would be

Under ordinary circumstances the othe,

that Shields was enlisted in the secession
movement at that time, and visited Cali

ADVERTISING,

There are few people who understand the
law of advertising. The few who do under.
stand it invariably succeed and amass for
tunes. There is not a solitary exception
to this rule. The law of advertising, clearly
understood and obeyed, enables the adver.
tiser to realize the astounding truth there is
in one of the proverbs of Solomon "There
is that scattereth and yet increaseth." And
be who misunderstands the law of advertis-
ing or fails to give obedience to it, will
surely realize the other half of the same
proverb; "Tbere is that withholdeth more
than is meet, but it tendeth to poverty"
Advertising, to be successful as a means of
business, should not be spasmodic and inter-
mittent, but continuous. Persevered in, it
always yields rewards. There is no such
word as fail to the persistent advertiser,
And he who expects results from a single
advertisement, which has had but two or
three insertions, and is then withdrawn, is
no more reasonable than man would be to
expect favorable results from taking his
shutters down three days in a month, and
keeping them closed the remainder of the
time; or than the man who shrouds his sign
of business except on particular days and at
long intervals of time.
