Advertising Is great bother 1t only brings
a lot of folks to your place of business. II they
want you, let them hunt you up, When you
get your name in the paper you will be bored
with drummers, and people from the country
will call on you and you will have to show them
goods, and like enough have to do up bundles
for them, which will exhaust your stock so much
that you will be obliged to buy more goods
which is great trouble. If you advertise, too
it gives your place reputation abroad; folks
will 20 there and crowd you, and make it toe
lively. II you don't want to do anything, keep
as still as you can and allow the people 10 90 10
ncighbornG towns 10 trade.
But If you do want to have lucrative trade
Don't let your angry passions rise,
Because your neghbors ADVERTISE
And draw away the dimes;
But boldly do as they have done,
Pursue the course they have begun,
And drive away dull times.
In order to be in time, half score of shootist'

tribes Of Livingston Co., to-day.

1t is wrong to discourage marble playing
