Advertising,

In a general sense, the effort on the
part of any merchant to get trade with
out advertising is a wrong to other busi-
ness men in the place. Whether a man
believes in advertising or not, he will
coincide that the newspapers are great
help to the place, and that business
amounts to very little in places that
don't support one or more ofthem. Alb
sence of newspapers is a bad sign for Il
place, in business point of view, as alb
sence of churches is in morals, of school
houses in education. The men who sup
port the village paper do more to build
up the place, and make it prosperous,
and draw trade there, than all other in
fiuences combined. Therefore, the man
who tries to come in and take the ben
efits of that prosperity without con-
tributing to sustain it, tries to .'dead
head" on the rest of the business men,
and does them wrong.
We are glad to see that our busi-
ness men here in Millersburg under
stand this subject, and that they not only
know what benefit there is in advert:s-
ing, but act in accordance with their
knowledge.

Alliance College.

We had call yesterday from Elder
Boggs who is the Financial Agent OF
Alliance College. We learn that the
Institution is in flourishing condition
under the care of President Benton who
has a very large experience in that ca
paeity, and an able corps of Professors
and Teachers. The Institution was
mainly gotten up by the Disciples, but
is not intended to be UNCONVENTIONAL in
its operations. Two of its present Pro-
fessors are members of other churches
Pupils both male and female are educated
at as low ra,es as in any similar college,
and young men studying for the min
istry go through free of charge. Mr..
Boggs is visiting the churches of this
county soliciting donations in order to
enable the Institution to extend its
usefulness. As the Disciples of Holmes
County represent n large amount of
wealth we trust he will be kindly re-
ceived, and his call for aid liberally re-
sponded to.
We understand that Mr.. BOggs is also
doing good deal of preaching as he
is passing around.

A New Way TO Advertise.

The scope of advertising enlarges
constantly. Not only are newspapers
crowded, and circulars sprinkled abroad
like autumn leaves, and all the pictur-
esque and pleasant scenery pasted over
with vermifuge puffs, but the ingenious
advertiser is constantly seeking unique
methods Of catching the public eye. At
recent funeral in Des Moines, Iowa,
the minister, after some pathetic re-
marks, inquired if any dear friend OF
the deceased wished to say anything on
the solemn occasion. A stranger here
stepped forward, and, after expressing
sympathy with the friends of the de-
ceased, remarked that the ways of Prov
idence were inscrutable, and, in this con-
nection, he wished to say that he was
the agent for first-class article OF
hair yigor for the State >of Iowa. The
corpse had used it for years with great
advantage, and he confidently recon-
mended it, especially to the minister and
the undertaken present, as he perceived
they were both painfully bald. "Shake
the bottle gentlemen" he exclaimed
earnestly, rising with the occasion, sand
rub the matter we'll in with stiff
brush" At this stage of the proceedings
a slight Acknowledgement, and the
hair vigor man disappeared.

Life i'm Utah.

This work has lately been received
from the National Publishing Company,
of Cincinnati, and after a careful peru
sal we take pleasure in pronouncing it
work well worth double its cost, and
a work too, that every household should
have. 1t is written by Mr.. Beadle, edi-
tor of the Salt Lake Reporter. and L tah
correspondent of the Cincinnati Com
me:c.al. Nj. Beadle's personal knowl-
edge, and long residence among them
gives him many advantages in the wri-
ting of such an impo- tant work. 1t is
not sensational work, yet it is by far
the most fascinat ng book we have read
for a long time. Indeed, one can get al
most as much information from this
work as by paying visit to that section
of country. The book is handsomely
illustrated. The work goes deep into the
mysteries of this strange religion, and
lays ba re IFS horrible licentiousness. 1t
abOunds in records of the vilest and
most terrible occurrences, which makes
it read more like romance than a verit-
able history. The book is sold by sub
scription only, and NJ. S. c. Lindsay is
agent for the northern part of Holmes
county, and is now canvassing for it.

New School Books.

We have just received from Messrs
Harper & Brothers, a sample copy of
"F.ench's Common School Arithmetic ,
and also copy of "Willson's Interme-
diate Fifth Reader" After thorough
examination, we find, that the Arith-
met.c hasa an originality about it that is
not found in mos5 books of the kind
We Ike it particularly for its illus ira
tions. Nothing will make child I'M
derscand quicker than a good illustra-
ton to the eye. Mr.. French goes on the
principle, which is very true one, that
''if the understanding is thoroug hly
reached, the memory will take care OF
ITSELF"
The Reader likewise merits much
praise. The book to begin with is at,
tracrive to the eye. Its establishment:
are fine, and have tendency TO make
the child proud of its new book. Its ar.
rangement is excellent. In fact we can,
not speak in two high terms of it.
We heartily recommend these works
to all schools that may be in need O.
text books.

Editing a Countrr NeMsnaner,

A co.emporary pens the following
vivid lines of country newspaper Life:
EdiS,ng a paper is a very pleasant
business.
If it contains too much political mat
ter the people won't have it.
If it contains too little they won't
have it.
If the type is large it don't contain
enough reading matter. oE ns1
If the type is small they can'tread it.
If We publish telegraph reports, folks
say they are nothing but lies.
1--we omit them, they say we have no
enterprise, or suppress them for politi-
cal effect.
If We have in few jokes, folks say
we are nothing but a rattle-head.
If we omit jokes they say we are an
old fossil,
If We give man complimentary
notices we are censured for being par
tial. ..-=...-..
If we do not they say we are illiberal.
If We insert an article which pleases
the ladies, men become jealous.
If We do not cater to their wishes, the
paper is not fit one to have in their
houses.
If we attend church they say it is only
for effect.
If we DO not, they denounce us as de-
ceitful and wicked.
If we remain in our Office and attend
to business, folks say We are too proud
to mingle with our fellows.
If we go out they say We never attend
to business.

The Open Bible.

We have just been examining the
work with the above title, and find it to
be an excellent volume. We have been
giving notices of different new books as
they come out, from time to time, and
think that this work will be read with
fully as much interest, possibly mo e, as
any We have seen lately. Its design is
to show clearly the hand of God in the
affairs of men, illustrating prophetically
and historically the great conflict be-
tween the Gospel and its enemies. 1t is
handsomely embellished with wood cuts
and steel engravings. The whole work
is one of absorbing interest, and we adj
wise everybody to purchase copy. Mr..
Joseph Elliott has been canvassing some
parts of this county during the past few
weeks, and in three weeks time has sold
above ninety copies. This week he will
call on our citizens in MilIersburg and
give them an opportunity to subscribe
for the work. 1t is highly interesting,
and We heartily recommend it.

Hon. M. Welker paid us a visit last
week. The Judge looks well, and says
he is ready 70 finish the balance of his
term in Congress which expires on the
4th of March next. Mr.. Welker has
been faithful member and we hesitate
not in saying that very few members of
Congress leave behind them as noble a
record as the Judge will. This district
has had faithful public servant in Mr..
Welke-, and the voters of the District
may well congratulate themselves in
having such an able man as Hon. James
Monroe to succeed him.
In making visit TO Shreve the other
day, we made it our business TO call on
our brother edisor, Mr.. G. M. Kenton, OF
the Shreve City Mirror. Mr.. X. is a
clever gentleman, and of course, made
our call pleasant to us. The Morror is
in a 5hourishing condition.
