WRAPPING PAPER ADyEETisING.-The
Detroit Free Press is constrained to free
it's mind on this subject as follows:
The Free Press has often been impor
tuned to say q word against the system
of business cards on wrapping paper, but
has judged it best to keep silent, and let
the merchants test the matter to their
satisfaction. Some of them having thrown
printed wrapping papers aside, it is hop
ed that every other dealer in Detroit and
Michigan will follow their example. In
the first place the advertisement is use
less, no one reads it, and SO much money
has been thrown away. In the next place
everybody objects to carrying around a
bundle labeled with some mans business
card. 1t subjects him to criticism, and
if he calls at any other store sometimes
produces unpleasant feelings. A case in
point occurred the other day. A farmer
bought coat for twenty dollars at n
clothing store on Woodward Avenue, and
was well satisfied with his bargain. Co
ing I'D on Jefferson Avenue the business
card caught the eye of another dealer,
and he got the man into his store, exam
ined the coat, and then announced that
he sold Just such coats for ten dollars
He only intended to hurt his adversary,
and in this he succeeded There is not
a single merchant in tho State that can
say that he secured single customer by
advertising on wrapping paper. Were
he to spend that much money in an adj
vertisement in paper, daily or weekly,
he could not fail to hear from it in more
ways than one But leaving out adver-
Using altogether, it is believed that every
merchant stands ready to admit that
wrapping papers have come to be nui
sance which must be abolished without
further delay Prominent merchants here
are discarding it, and all the rest must
follow

UNAUTHORIZED AND REPUDIATED.-
Regarding the preamble and resolutions
published last week, purporting to be
the action of twenty Changers Of the
Patrons of IIusbandry, at a meeting at
Waterloo, which formally nominated D.
W. Adams, for Governor, and Jas. WI.
kinson for Lieutenant Governor, u cor
respondent Of the Waterloo Carrier, this
week who signs himself "a Patron" and
VINO claims to be in position to know
as much Of the purposes Of the Patrons
as tie men whose names are appended
to the resolutions, asserts that they are
unauthorized by the order Of Patrons,
and calculated to do it great injustice,
cncc The correspondent furthermore
derounccs tue movement as sin no sense
rejecting the opinions or judgment of
the great majority Of Patrons in this
part of Iowa"
HIS StaIcucIlL Is uHuouDICNIy true
reflex Of the sentiments of the Patrons
generally concerning the premature move
mort ut Waterloo last week. The order
by the terms of its constitution is non.
partisan, and although it aims to secure
its ends by political action, it has no oc-
casiOn, as assuredly it would be unpolitc
to make its organization stepping s,o
to Office Its true policy and interest, as
its most earnest and wisest members well
understand, is to present such front ia
existing political parties as Will compel
them to present only such men for tho
SURFACES of the people as are known to
be sound and true on the great question
the solution of which the Patrons are en-
deavoring to work ont.

COUNTY PAPERs--The Cincinnati
TRADE list has the following to say for
county papers:
A mans county paper is worth more to
him than any other paper in the world,
or if it is not, it is his own fault. If the
county paper is properly encouraged, it
may be relied on for information of more
value to the people in whose interest it is
issued, than can be found in all the city
papers in the United States. No man can
afford to stop the paper that publishes
the official advertisements of his county,
the public sales, markets, court news, and
other local intelligence. If the paper is
too poor, the people are more at f,ut
than the publishers for not giving it lib
eral patronage. However poor the coun-
ty paper may be, it is always worth more
than it costs to those interested in the
affairs of the locality.

and everything was done to make him happy.
The policy was gotten out for him to make pay

and set up housekeeping, and the male bird
commences getting banged over the head, and
boosted out Of the nest, and knocked about gen
orally, until some kind hearted sportsman comes
along with his little gun and puts him out of his
misery. Though to-day, the 18th is the legal
day, yet the sending and receiving of Valentines is
kept as up late as the list, week off The book
store men say the trade in comic Valentines in
New York is larger than any season ever known,
