TO BUSINESS MEN

ADVERTISING is FOUNDED UPON THE
FUNDAMEN TRUTH THAT HE WHO DE
SIRES TO HAVE THE BEST SUCCESS MUST
HAVE THE WIDEST ACQUAINTANCE AND
BE THE BEST KNOWN.
The merchant who opens a store on principal
thoroughfare, and puts up an attractive sign, does
so to attract the attention of the public but when
he transfers the sign TO the columns Of e widely
circulated newspaper, he places so many signs be-
fore the eye of the public with this great difference,
that only the passers-by see the one on the store
while the sign placed In the columns of widely
ycircuated newspaper goes after the public, seeks
il out hunts it down in its private walks and ways,
and compels il 10 be obserYant in spite of ITSELF
In making the sign for the store care is taken to
make 1t attractive, and to this end the best skill is
employed The same care should be taken in pre-
pairing the sign-board for the newspaper-to see
that it is prominent; ffatitis we4 printed and that
il expresses clearly fully and definitely some busi-
ness idea, and that it is made fresh from time to
me and TINT it gives the best value Tor the outlay
Many years experience and constant practice ought
10 be worth something in such matters.
Newspaper advertising is now recognized BY busi-
ness men having faith in their own wares as the
most effective means for securing for their goods
wide recognition of their merits.
Newspaper advertising impels inquiry, and when
the article offered is of good quality and at a fair
price, the natural result is increased sales.
Newspaper advertising is a permanent addition to
the reputation Of the goods advertised, because
II is permanent influence always at work in
their interest.
Newspaper advertising is the most energetic and
vigilant of statesmen addressing thousands each
cesselessly at work seeking customers from al
classes.
Newspaper advertising promotes trade, for ever
in the dulest times advertisers secare BY far the
largest share of what is being done. ju1stf

COUNTY JAIL.

The Grand Jury having several time;
reported to the Common Pleas Court
that the County Jail was insufficient fol
the safe keeping of prisoners. We made
a thorough, examination of the same and
found that new CRATES were necessary Oh
each window. We thereupon advertised
for proposals for making said repairs, and
on the third day of February awarded
the contract for doing the same to ia
cob NJ yers, for the sum of 1884. Other
repairs were at the same time made on
the inside of the jail, and we now consid-
er it to be as safe as it can be made. We
have at each session visited the jail, and
found the same properly kept by the
Sheriff.

More than an equal number of days wa
devoted to the sale, examination, and ac

three districts, and each member has beer

IN which his residence is most central.
ROADS.
During the year two county roads have
been established, one on petition of IL
Longabach and others, and the other Oh
petition Of James Hufard and others,
both in Sandusky township. Thirteen
were resurveyed, one in Ballville town
ship, one in York, two in Washington,
eight In Woodville, and one on line be-
tween Washington and Woodville town
ships; one was reduced in width, from
90 to 40 feet.
DIVISION OF YORK TOWNSHIP INTO TWO
ELECTION PRECINCTS.
The committee appointed at the Aug
ust session, 1873, to divide York town
ship into two election precincts, as near
the prayer of the petitioners as they
might deem proper, reported as follows:
That the First Precinct consist of and
all that part of said township
which is now included in the village of

Second Precinct consist of and embrace
all that part of said township lying out

JUSTICE OF THE PEACE.

We have instructed the County Audi
tor not to draw his warrants on the Treas
urer for fees and costs of any Justice Of
the Peace, until he shall have complied
with the 25th section of Justices Criminal
Law, making it the duty OF Justices to
report and file with the Auditor of the
County annually, correct statement of
trials in criminal cases had before him.
and of fines collected by him in such ca
ses; also, to notify all Justices and May
or's to require bail for the security of
costs in all State cases brought before
them.
INSURANCE ON COURT HOUSE AND JAIL.
For several years no insurance was
carried on Court House and Jail, but
deeming it prudent to carry some nsur-
ance, in order to prevent total loss to
the county, in case of fire, policies of in
surance have been taken out In the fol-
lowing Companies: Niagara, of New
York; Underwriters, of New York, and
Teutonia of Dayton, for one thousand
dollars each, on the Court House, and
one thousand each on the Jail.

THE SECOND DISTRICT.

We have no tears to shed or grief to ex,
pend on the result. We, the rather, rejoice
in his defeat, aud believe that it is a matter
for public congratulation.
Before briefly alluding to some of th,
causes which have tended to bring about
this result, We may say that a strange ia,
tality-one, however, easily enough account
cd ior-seems to attend the members Of the
present Congress, whether in the House or
Senate, seeking reelection The only ex.
ceptions to this fatality, and VIC will not
give names, are those who by their insight.
icance have escaped notice, or those who
by their really great talent, special services,
or strict integrity have commanded the con-
tuued confidence and support of the people.
This fatality was attached to Judge Poland.
No Que doubts his great abilities, aud he has
displayed them in several ways. 1t was
abhorrent, however, TO the ideas of the peo.
pie Of Vermont, to see n man who had been
for many years by annual unanimous re.
elections, chief justice Of her supreme court
her court of last resort-who had been
appointed by her governor and elected by
her legislature United States senator. ana
who possessed the talents he was known
to have, going from county to county and
town to town begging votes for u re.nomina.
ton aud, as 1t was alleged, freely fur.
nishing money to "pack the primaries" Ii
was her first and only chief justice or United
States senator who had been guilty of such
practices; aud il he secured nomination to
a seat in Congress thereby their votes could
not be had to make that nomination an cleo.
ton. Living up among the mountains we
may be over sensitive and have peculiar
" notions but then We act upon our conyic.
tions
Then again, Judge Poland, having obtain.
ed his nomination by large majority, pre-.
sumed too much on the creduity of Vermont.
ers. lie may have discovered, Tuesday.
that Vermonters were possessed of, at least
an ordinary degree Of intelligence, and were
good for something else but voting for him
at the primary and at the polls. We
