You can't eat enough in one week to
last whole year, and you can't adver-
tse on that plan either.
a large advertisement once, and then
discontinued, creates the impression
that the man has fizzled.
Injudicious advertising is like fishing
where there's no fish. You need to let
the lines fall in the right place.
A constant dropping will wear a rock.
Keep dropping your advert isement on
the public, and they will soon melt
under il like rock salt

THE Annual Convention of the Co.

tion will be held in Espy (Lutheran
Church) on Tuesday, Wednesday and
Thursday, November 1lth, 10th and

all denominations of Christians and it
is hoped that every superintendent,

cess, Every school in the county should
be represented. Schools can send as
many delegates as they choose. All
officers and teachers of SABBATH Schools
and all ministers are entitled to men,
bership and are cordially invited to
take part in the work. SIN the multi
tude of COunsellors there is safety" Let
us have full turn out of the friends of
the cause. Delegates will be entertain
ed by the citizens of Espy. Eminent
Sabbath School workers will assist us.

lr is now estimatId that the city of
Chicago has suffered loss of not less
than twenty nor more than twenty, five
per cent. on her total assets, real and
personal. Her most shrewd business
men express it rs their conviction that
five years hence, at most, the exhibit of
population, wealth, commerce, and
manufactures will be even greater than
month ago; an opinion in which we
fully concur.
CHICAGO NoTEs.-It is indeed an ill
wind that blows nobody good. 1t is
said that there is not single indict
ment left against any accused person in
Cook county, Illinois, which is certainly
apiece of good fortune for some rogues.
But, on the other hand, the lawyers
have suffered severely. Hardly law
library or law Office is left not paper
TO show that there is suit pending in
any Of the six courts of the county; not
a Judgment, not petition in bank
ruptcy In the federal courts. And
worse yet, SO far as is known, all the
records OF deeds and mortgages are
destroyed.

TIE Northumberland Baptist Asso.
|C4-.Jn held its annual session at Mil
Hon in the latter part Of September.
Flhe body is composed of Churches sit

Union, Snyder and Cameron counties.
The Association has within its boun DIS
|39 churches and 309S members. Bap-

to over $4,000. $6l2 was subscribed in

citation meets at Watsontown next year
WHITE VESTS. 1t is said there is
mania pervading fashionable swells for
white vests with gilt buttons. This is
somewhat singular, for swells never do
|anything within reason, especially in
matters of dress. A black coat and
pants, with white vest, is the neatest
dress gentleman can wear. We have
nothing to say about the gilt buttons,
though in modern times they ought not
to be Objectionable since brass forms the
stable production of nine.tenths of the
fashionable world. If the swells are
raging for such dress as we haye de-
scrlbed, it is the first time we ever
heard of them having common sense
