ADVERTISING AND CASH BUSINESS
Merchants Of every description who have
suffered from losses which they incurred
by too much credit in 1866, are now nat.
urally anxious to do a cash business. In
fact, pay down is the dictate Of safety
and wisdom, because the financial and po.
litical affairs Of the country are just in
that shape'where the thoughtful man feels
the necessity Of holding his resources
in hand. Now. it is concession Of all
traders-even those who do not adver-
tise, that the custom which they have
heretofore obtained by advertising, has
generally been from men with cash in
hand, who bought freely at the lowest
market rates. When merchants adver-
tise good bargains it attracts the cash
from the pockets OF the community. We
are, therefore, correct in saying that no.
thing tends more to promote cash bu.
siness than advertising. u

Fenians who were recently hung at Man
chester, is represented as a most impos-

men formed in column four deep and
marched through the principal thorough
fares, attended by three hearses, each con-
tanning a coffin on which was inscribed

The procession halted in Union Square,

How 70 HELP A PAPER.-We write,
says the Holmes County Farmer, for our
selves and all our brethren. We are
writing, dear reader, to you. IF you want
to help a newspaper always pay your sub
scription in advance. Lire right up to
this rule. Send the editor at least one
new SUBSCRIPTION besides your own, and
often it may happen you can pick up half
a dozen among your neighborsa and friends.
Such things make a printer grin from ear
to ear ; they make his heart light, they
make him feel young, they make him
work With new grit: in short, they make
him happy.

Cast the Devil into Hell.

der of a good and rich citizen named
Hertzler. Several men have been arrest

murder was a cold. blooded and a foul one
too. In the city of Dayton in 1862,
while on his way home from market, the
accomplished and talented Bollmeyer, ed
itor of the Dayton Empire, was shot
down ike a dog by a man by the name
of Brown. His last words as he fell
were-"Oh, my dear wife" We knew
Bollmeyer; he was a gentleman. He
was shot because he "abused the Gov
eminent and in those days the Gov
eminent" meant the Republican party.
A Radical jury acquitted Brown and in
their verdict declared that it was no
crime to shoot a comprehend" The
judge who so charged the jury is now a

man who sat on the jury is dead ! Right
