Coon ADVICE William Wirt's letter
his daughter on the "srnall sweet courtesies
of life" contains the following passage:
~ want to tell you secret. The way to
make yourself pleasant to others is to show
them attention. The whole world is like the
miller at Mansfield, who cared for nobody
no, not he, because nobody cared for him.
And the whole world would serve you SO, if
you gave them the same cause. Let every
one, therefore, see that you do care for them,
by showing them the small courtesies, in
which there is no parade, whose voice is still
to please, and which manifest themselves in
tender and affectionate looks and little acts
of attention, giving others the preference in
every little enjoyment at the table, in the
field. walking, sitting and standing"

For several months past we have been
struggling against steady advance in
al kinds Of printing material and stock,
as well az in labor, in the hope that we
might avoid an advance in orr subscrip-
ton and advertising rates. Over one
year ago, when printing paper took such
an extraordinary rise, almost every pa
per in our State advanced its prices 81
subscription and advertising from 25 to
30 per cent. The Journal, while il was
compelled 70 pay the advance in stock,
was furnished 70 its Subscribers at the
usual rate. Shortly afterwards, the price
Of printing paper decreased from % to
80 per cent I.attet4y. however, it has
advanced again, until It Is within one
cent per pound as high az at the previ-
Gus advance, without any prospect Of an
other decrease, and, therefore, We feel
impelled to advance orr rates to that
charged by other daily papers in the
West.
