To "Z," whoever You Arc.

In the Troy Dispatch Of January 9Th,
I see q communication from you, headed
IAN unprecedented self-sacri6cing ply.
sician." From some Of the prominent
quotations, and also by the general out.
lines of tho article, can be seen, by one
Of little perception, that you desired to
caricature the communication published !,
IN the Lincoln County Herald, headed
"Honor to whom honor is due;" and tho
person whom tho last mentioned article
was intended to compliment is held up
for dsrision.
l was really chagrincd When that un.
deserved encomium appeared, and sorely
deprecated the public method by which
the author chose to manifest his appre.
citation Of my services. l simply per.
formed my duty, just as l believe any
one of the other physicians of this place
would have done under similar circum.
stances and l hold that no one deserves
praise for the performance Of any duty
The compliment was unsought, and be-
slowed publicly without my knowledge,
and while believe the motives prompt
ing it were pure and sincere, could but
regret the course pursued to express it.
10 you, u" who, like ROdin, travel
with a dark lantern, I will state that l
have infinitely more respect for an avowed
enemy than for false friend, and l dc
not intend to fight behind a mask. II
you cherish any secret grudge against
me, IN the name Of common decency come
out in straightforward and manly way
and say so, aud do not conceal yoursel
under false name, and cautiously cover
ing up your trail stealthily glide into
the realms Of nonentity.
Now to you, sir, will say that I an
not q public character, that l have no
placed myself iua position to be thu
ridiculed and publicly insulted, that l an
not so constituted as to enjoy being drawn
from the seclusion of private lifo anc
made the butt of an idiotio joke, ant
} that 1 can but regard your insult a
highly ungentlemanly, eminently cow
ardly, and unworthy any one who ap
proaohes respectability. You may maxi
: the most of this, and if you desire salts
! faction for what I have said, throw Of
your cowardly cloak and face me.

A WonD TO Qua ApysRrrsERs.-f,

"A WORD TO OUR ADvGRrIsERs.-Tt
is ss impostant TO the publisher of
paper that the advertisements inserted
therein should rebound to the benefit of
the advertiser as to him, and as some of
those advertising in ths Herald seem to
be lttle careless how the space they
pay for is filled, we think word on this
subject will not be amiss. If an adver-
tisement is attractive, it will surely bo
read, but like good book, people don't
care to be reading the same one over and
over. What would you think of an I'd
itor who published the same news items
every week for whole year? Just go
with advertising; something new must be
presented and often, in order to induce
the general reader to take notice. In
making yearly contracts, the usual terms
admit of quarterly changes, uud monthly
changes may be contracted for; but of
those advertising with US by the year,
none have made more than one change,
and the majority of them none. The
consequence is, their advertisements be.
come like familiar picture on the wall
they are never noticed after the first
few insertions, and the benefit derived
from them is comparatively small.
Change the style and the wording often,
and make them partake Of spirit Of
jollues. good feeling, humor aud attract
iveness indeed make them as near like
q general news item as possible. Now
take the average country store, for in
stance, that makes o specially of nothing.
Most Of them advertise "Dry goods,
clothing, hats and caps, boots aud shoes,
queensware,' &c, when every one for
miles around knows they keep such things
They keep score OF small articles, the
use Of which is cot known to many, and
the general cost of which would be o
matter of information to them; these
articles are never mentioned, and we
very often hear the inquiry: 81 wonder
where can get such and such thing
wonder if any of the stores keep it p
Now if these wero advertised, people
would know where to get them and would
buy them, while if they had to hunt and
inquire for them, would conclude to dc
without. This is true, and We hope oul
merchants will observe it. Another way
to make advertising pay is to give price
list of your goods. 1t then becomes
like a market report to the farmer ant
general consumer, and they will learn tt
turn to 1t to find tho prices of certain
articles as they do to the Commercial
market reports to fad out the price o
grain, stock, &c. An advertisement thu
becomes OF interest to them, and the,
will miss your "market report" almost a
much as they do the grain and stool
quotations, when they fail to see it ever,
week.

MISSOURI REPUBLICAN,
A First Class News and
Family Journal.
THE MISSOURI REPUBLICAN is prepared
to enter upon another journalistic year with re-
newed vigor and enterprise. We have recently
added to our establishment all the latest improve
ments in the printing business, including the
fas est presses and the most complete machinery
in tho world. We have likewise secured ex, ra-
ordinary facilities for the collection Of the news,
i'll all important quarters, and for its prompt
transmission by telegraph. Our foreign and do
mcstic correspondence has been increased, and
our editorial ass stance augmented. The RE-
PUBLICAN now feels able to compete with any
newspaper in the United States in the extent
and variety of its news, the freshness of its CO.
respondence, tho soundness and dignity Of its
editorials tho reliability of its financial intelli-
gence, tho character Of its Literary, Local and
miscellaneous features, and in short the various
depart tments embraced in FIRST class news and
family Journal.
The REPUBLICAN, as a political paper, is
fearless and independent advocate Liberal Dem
cratic pr nciples. 1t Is bound, however, by no
party ties to tho support of unworthy men, mr.
by party discipline to any action 1t NAV deem un-
wise or impoliuc. Its utterances will echo tho
sentiments Of the popular masses as far as they
can be ascertained. Its main platform will be tho
interest Of the people of the Mississippi Valley,
and 1t will seek to encourage immigration, to de-
VelOp natural resources, to pEOm note improvement,
to advance Agriculture, Manufactures ani Min
ing, to cultivate the economic arts to elevate tho
standard OF general intelligence and morals. 1t
will studiously strive, as in the past, to avoid
sensational and prurient journalism, and will
without sacrificing spice and piquancy, aim to
make itself worthy OF admission into the purest
circles.
Tho WEEKLY REPUBLICAN will contain
the cream Of the DAILY ISSUES, CONDENSED AID
COLLECTED EXPRESSLY FOR THE COUNTRY, and COLI
tanning the LATEST NEWS up to the time cf going
to press. 1t will also be enlivened with II vari-
etl of misce llaneous matter, and by features #

AN EXTRAORDINARY PLACE FOR IT. -
A young man not thousand miles from
Troy was out buggy riding with Miss
Belle -, and being of sentimental
turn Of mind, and the conversation lag.
ging, he thought to entertain his lady
love With . snatch Of his vocal powers,
just to fill up the void, you know; so he
struck out with the familiar ditty, Mag.
gle by my side" To make it more
personal he substituted the name Of the
young lady for that Of. Maggie, and in
order that the metre should correspond
with the music, had to make two sylla.
bles of it. This is the way he did it:
"storms can appall me mover
While her brow is clear,
Fair weather fingers ever
Where her smiles appear;
Ny own love, Belle dear,
Sitting by my side,
Belle dear, my own love,
My Belle by my side.
The young lady turned away her head
for . moment to smile and blush, AID
tried to look inuocently unconscious, but
she remarked to friend afterwards that
she "thought his side an extraordinary
place for that organ to be situated"
