Keen the Names in Your Minds,

The names Of merchants and tradesmen who
aduer.ise! We would say to our friends from,
the country, and anywhere else, that when they
come to tho Court House to trade, they would do
we'll to remember tho names and places of such
merchants and tradcsmon as advertise their bust
ness literally and from these, mako their pur-
chascs. For it is certain fact that the business
mau who is too penurious, timid and undecided
to publicly invite and attract custom, is sure to
be also too ponurious, timid and undecided to be
and business prominently before the people, shows
keen sagacity Of which he need not be ashamed;
and which people who do not desire to be duped,
ought to admire and uphold. - =;
We know that many people will speak or think
thus upon reading the. above. "The milk in that
cocoanut is that newspapers lire in agreat degree
upon advertisements" Bah we do not pretend,
for a'moment to deny that fact or our motive
either. But all this nevertheless, does not de-
tract one whit from the truth of our remarks.
The advertisements of many of tho leading
business houses in Charleston and Augusta, es-
pecially the latter city; appear in our columns
from time to time. Andwe say to our friends
and readers who may visit either of these cities,
that those arc Houyos of high character, and will
offer inducements in trade far superior to those
who appear to have no character to make or rep
utation to sustain. Keep the names, therefore,
in your minds ~
