Newspapers.

A paper lives by the advertising which 1t
does. The subscription and sale Of papers
hardly pay for the paper used in printing, and
when a man asks for a notice of any matter by
which he expects TO be benefited, he Is asking
FIR so much money out Of the pockets OF the
D .opretors. It would be just as reasonable for
aim to 90 into store and ask the merchant
for suit of clothes or a bag of coffee And
yet he would open his eyes in astonishment at
such request. -,
Newspapers cannot be published for nothing
Every line put in type costs money, and has
I, be psid for in cash-there is no credit on
anything which goes into the printing and
publishing of n paper, notwithstanding which,
there are some inconslderate people who com
plain that printers try 70 collect their bills
promptly. and do not give unlimited credit
\ moments reflection ought to convince such
people that no paper could be published sixty
days in times like these on such system
With every inclination 20 be accommodating
and forbearing, selfpreservation demands that
in the newspaper business, above all others, the
cash system should be riEdly adhered TO- On-
der any other plan, the resources OF the pro-
prietors would be scattered in small amounts
all over the country, to collect which would
cost almost as much as the accounts amounted
10. Ii is much easier for the many % pay the
small sums due by them, than for the papers
~ wait the convenience Of the debtors for pay
ment Of the aggregate Of the bills owing them.

Advertising Gratis.

This most expensive luxury the News has in
dulged in extensively. If we had to-day one
half pay for newspapers given away and ad-
vertsing done for nothing. we should feel COM
Portable. Men who never dreamed OF giving
US cents worth Of anything, and would have
refused US point blank, ifw had asked ior the
merest trife, have not hcsitated to send Us long
obituaries, llor examplel and have grieved most
eloquently and touchingly for their departed
friends-at our expense Others have been
beneiactors of mankind" and urged the pro-
tracted exposition of their views or inventions
and nave received the credit-while we had 10
pay the cash.
In Fredericksburg especially the newspapers
have been expected land almcst requiredl TO
" puff " anybody who asks them, and DO an s.
mount of gratuitous labor at heavy cost to
themselves, which a man in any other business
would feel insulted, and promptly refuse, II
similar request was made OF him.
To make il perfectly plain, let us illustrate;
One man asks for "a copy of your paper ana
thinks the editor mean dog if he has not one
left for him, after the editor has given away
dozen. Each paper costs the editor about or
cents cash besides the labor. Another asks
for notice or "puff" or publication
of column of something for himself or =
poor friend he promised to help in this way
lat our expensel and perhaps he don't even
subscribe TO the paper.
Well? This thing is played'out. No news
paper now can afford il.
The regular newspapers now charge, just as
merchants do. Ii you 60 into store and buy
pound of candles, you don't ask for box OF
matches for nothing. If you advertise dol
lars worth, don't ask for 81! notice and 2 or
copies of the paper besides s.-Pfederick'5'ng

Reason N A HoRsE-Mr A. I. Barclay

day night week, stallion belonging to him
was chained in the stable with a large halter

the horse was taken sick, and succeeded in

walked through the yard into the porch Of the
dwelling, and after stamping around, passed
down the steps and in short while returned
