REMEDY FOR Dull TIMEs.-The
best remedy for dull times is to ad-
vertise freely. Merchants should not
let their stocks stay shelved until
they become old, stale and unprofit-
able, for the sake of the small ex-
pense it would cost them to adver-
tise. If they try it regularly and
persistently, they will find tire in
vestment to be n paying one.
