We heard business(?) man once re-
mark that advertising did no good.
"Why, said he, what is the difference?
When all advertise, it is just the same as
if none advertised. It does not increase
trade, and when the customer comes to
town to trade, he sees that each and ev-
every one who adVertises holds out some
special inducement, and the customer
goes where it suits him. the same as If
no one advertised"
Now those who have been long in busi-
ness, and who have been liberal adverti-
sers. know better than this. Advertising
has made many men rich. Showmen,
and patent medicine men, have more
knowledge of the value of advertising
than any other classes, and they are
much the largest advertisers.
The same may be said of our more sue
cessful local dealers. Take the case of
Oliver S. Miller. for instance. He has
prospered in business. and much of his
prosperity is due to his regular, system
attic advertising. OF course, he has also
kept full stock of honest goods.

Good furniture, honestly made, and
used with care, occasionally re painted
and vanished, will last much more than
a life time. We have seen this tested.
We used a stand which our father had
made at Point Pleasant, West Virginia,
in the year 1900. 1t was as sound when
it had been in use 20 years, as it was
when made.
Now if you want good furniture, which
will last during your life, and the life of
your children, get it from Aten & Marsh
man. opposite the county Jail.

The present is not the time to sell
property in Jackson We have made a
little money within the past twelve
years, buying and selling lots, in small
way, and if we had ten thousand. or even
twenty thousand dollars to invest, we
would payit all out for real estate in
Jackson, or its immediate vicinity. Now
is the time to buy, not the time to sell,
Mark that. We have made on an aver
age five hundred per cent. in ten years,
on the lots we bought and sold.
We have one beautiful lot on Ports
mouth Street which we offered one year
ago for five hundred dollars, which we
bought in 1868 for thirty-fve dollars.
Five hundred dollars would not take it
now.
If you own land in Jackson, hold on to
it. Several new railroads are reaching
for this place.

Card from Joel Jones.

10 the Editor of the Standard:
DEAR SIR-In order 10 correct some false
ideas, and set at rest some idle rumors which
have been af1oat In your place concerning my
self, would respectfully ask you to publish
the following statement. 1t having been stat
ed in Jackson that had just partially recover
ed from the smallpox when paid a recent WIS.,
it there, and that i was the cause Of my BROTH
er getting the smallpox, from which he died, L
desire to state that have neither had the small
pox, nor anything like it, that worked for
my employers, Messrs. Hunt & Clark, of this
city up to Nov. S, when / left the city for WIS.,
it home; that spent a week away in Jackson
and Oak HUI and Chillicothe, and returned to
this city and to my business, Monday, Novem-
my brother was taken sick in Jackson with
what was pronounced smallpox, and died No
vember q, none mourning his loss more than
myself. desire further to state that was not
and have not beenin the Cincinnati Hospital,
as las been h;arged, as areferenee TO the Off
GERS of that institution Will prove.
In conclusion, allow me to say that sympa-
thy with and charity for, the bereaved and sor-
rowing ones, whose load is hard enough TO be
borne, ought to prevent any one from making
any charges like the above, that not only
wound the feelings. but are, as 1 can prove, ut
terly without foundation.
Yours, truly,

A Malicious Fabrication

We do not know who was so audacious
in misleading the public in case that
could result only to their detriment, as
to assert that Halls Balsam is no longer

dard remedy for coughs and colds is still
prepared in its original purity, and may
be had of druggists everywhere in the
United States or Canada. Price $I0O.
