Advertiser who Ask,for Credit.

Advertisins, unlike other merchan.
disc, 10 presumed to cost nothing.
Space In . Newspaper 10 . perishable
commodity. In many cases II 10 worse
than valueless. II not used for adysr.
tising II must be filed with reading
matter at q cost for composition.
These reasons cause publishers 70
sell advertising space where they would
not think OF trusting for job printing,
or any other article representing . cost
in actual money. '' ''.
This is the reason why irresponsible
advertising agencies 80 readily got
credit for large sums. There are six
thousand papers published in the
Union. A man believed to be worth
thousand dollars is readily trusted for
his wants in the way Of advertising
space. He may get credit on the books
OF three thousand publishers for quar-
ter OF o million without owing any In
dividual a. much as two hundred dol.
lars. .. ..,l. -I...
However true it may be that advertis-
ing space costs nothing, no publisher
doing business on that principle has
ever made money.
Within the past ten years American
publishers have lost, in bad debts, mp.
wards of . million by advertisers from
New York city, no one OF whom could
buy hundred dollars worth OF mer.
chandise without planking down the
cash before delivery. Advertisers who
cannot give responsible security are de.
barred from contracting with RESPONSE
BILE advertising agencies; they therefore
apply to publishers direct. If every
one accepts fifty.dollar contract, three
hundred thousand dollars worth Of
advertising is obtained ON credit. Pro-
vided only one publisher in ten accepts,
the amount is thirty thousand dollars.
If the business is q success, the adver.
Using bills are paid wholly or in part
with greater or lesser degree of
promptness, according to circumstances.
If the business is o failure, no one is
paid, and there the matter ends.
II there were no responsible adver-
tisers-if all advertising was done on
this principle possibly no one would
be wronged. Publishers would thus
become the partners Of their advertisers
and share in their risks and profits.
The case being otherwise, responsible
advertisers, who can be made to pay,
are compelled to compete with those
who cannot. 81,

CORR ESPONDENCE

To the Editor of The CARBON ADVOCATE:
DEAR SIR: In your issue of the Bird
inst, there appeared correspondence
headed "Dots from Parryville," by
one Harpocrates. To the last item
of that correspondence, with your kind
permission, l would respectfully reply.
The gentleman Who sent he communi-
cation, especially that part of it which
relates TO the trio of ladies from
ParryvilIe," has certainly been "hard
up" for news, or he would not have
been so hasty as tn pen to your spicy
little "Advocate" an item apparently so
unimportant. He speaks Of an occur.
renee which he would intimate as laugh
able, as though it had actually trans
pired, and yet he admits that his only
authority for the facts in the case is
Madam Rumor. Methinks that he is
related to the old lady. At all events,
the whole affair seems to bear the marks
of tinkering, which fact leads me to
wonder whether" !" Harpocrates" is not

unacqua;nted with the ladies of Parry

trienne. And then again, such funny
way of putting it ! Says he, " While
one proceeded to turn the horse the
other two attempted to turn the carri-
age" AS though the turning of the
horse did not neccSsitate the turning of
the carriage It's really novel thing
to hear such rendering Of turning
horses. The who affair has the appear
ance of mere" get up" and bears the
impress of e joke rather than a stern
reality. l cannot for moment sup
pose that " IIarpocIates' is in earnest
in what he says, and hence trust that

For Over Thirty Years
Perry Davis Vegetable Pain-Killer
Has been tested in every variety of
climate, aud by almost every
nation known to americans.

1t Is the constant companion and
estimahlr friend of the missionary and
the traveller, uIl sea and land, and no
one should travel Oh our Lakes or
Rivers without it
1t has been before the public over
thirty years, and probably has wider
and better reputation than any other
! roprietary medicine of the presentday.
At this period there are but few unac-
uuainted with the merits of the Palm
Killer, but while some exiol it as lini-
ment, they know but little of its power
IN easing pain when taken internally,
while others use itintrrnally with great
success, but are equally ignoraat Of its
healing virtues Hhen applied externally.
We therefore wish to say to all that it Is
equally successful whether used intern
ally or externally, and it stands to-day,
unrivalIed by all the great catalogue of
family medicines 1t is sufficient evidence
OF its virtues as a standard medicine, to
know that it Is now used in all parts of
the world and that its sale is constantly
increasing. No curative agent has had
such vide spread sale or given such
universal satisfactson. 1t is q purely
vegetable compound, and perfectly safe
in unsktllful hands.
After thirty years trial. is still receiv-
ing the most unqualified tt stmonias to
its virtues, FROM persons of the highest
character and responsibility. Physi-
clans of the first re,pectabiity, recon-
mended it as most etfectual prepara-
ton for the extinction of pain. 1t is
not only the best remedy ever known
for Bruises, Cuts, Burns, &C., but for
Dysentery or Cholera or any sort OF
bowel complaint, it is a remedy unsur-
passed for efficiency and rapidity OF
action. In the great cities of India,
and other lot climates, it has become
the Standa d Medicine for all such
complaints, as well as for Dyspepsia,
Liver Complaints, and other kindred
disorders For Coughs and Colds, Can
ker, AStham, and Rheumatic Difficult
ties, it has been proved Ivy the most
abundant and convincing testimony to
be an Invaluable medicine.

Town Hall,

To the Editor Of THE CARBON ADVOCATE:
SIR thank you for the privilege of
saying few words ON the above sub
ject, as intimated in your last issue. To
begin with then, allow me to say that
/ heartily agree with al. you have said
upon the subject, and find that every
man with whom Ihave spoken 80 agrees
with you. The only fault / find with
what you said is, that you did not say
more and say it stronger.
The fact that we should have been at
so much expense in building so good q
school. house, and, before it is finished,
have an attempt made by single indI-
vidual to monopolize any part Of 1t for
his own benefit to the exclusion of the
many, when all alike are paying for it,
is simply outrageous. If the School
Board have any shadow of right to rent
the hall for private purposes, or If there
is money to be made by so doing, let
them treat with the immediate parties
themselves and make all the money they
can-they need it. We want no specu-
lating with public property in Lehish-
ton-there has been enough of that sort
of thing all over the country already.
But the very spirit and intent of the
School law denies any such right to any
School Board. am informed that our
School Board have assumed this right,
and actually passed a resolution to this
effect. Gentlemen, you have done
wrong, and the taxpayers won't stand
1t mo Low you can fix it," "".
have also been informed that DR..
Reber moved this action OF the school
Board. At first was somewhat sur
prised at this. but when It is considered
what delicate position he was placed
in, lie cannot be much blamed-he had
a hall of his own to rent, and If he had
shown the least GOODNESS towards tbs
proposition he would have appeared al
acting from personal motives. Yes,

Iehighton Academy, Jan, 10.-In-
stitute was called to order by the Presi-
dent at $50 A. NJ. The roll was called
and ell the teachers responded to tlrir
names. Thenminutes of previous meet
ing were read and approved.
An essay was read by Miss Weaver,
subject, Improvement" The pro.
gress of education was noted; the
teacher of fifty years ago and the
teacher of to- day were contrasted; the
interest manifested in schools was con-
sidered.
An essay was read BY Miss Heilman,
subject, "Should only practical studies
be taught in common schools" The
essayist believes that most of the teach-
er's time should be devoted to the
teaching of practical studies, but that
some attention should be given to
branches which may not seem to yield
immediate benefit. The same views
were sustained in the discussion which
followed the essay. sJf.f..
A lecture on the "Theory and Prac-
tice of Teaching" was given by Mr..
Kessler; The teacher should study his
pupils; he should understand their ma
ture and teach in accordance with it.
Love, III most cases, should enable him
to govern The school. ....-.t. t....,
The subjects for the next meeting are
as follows: "Should prizes be used as
an incentive to study?" by Miss Bauer;
"Object Lessons" by d. S. Grossman;
"Evil Speaking" by Miss Paul.
