How ADVERTISING AFFECTS BUsI.
NEss.-The man who advertises his bu.
siness. if what he offers for sale is hon.
estly what he represents it TO be, or what
it ought to be. is constantly assisted in
his business by those who have been at.
tracted to him and tested him. A buy.
er has read his advertisement, and gone
to his store. or workshop. or warehouse,
or whatever the place may be, and tried
what was recommended. If it has sat.
isfied him, he is pleased, and recommends
it to his neighbor, who is likely to 90 to
the same place. and tell his neigbbors in
turn. And thus little rills started by
his advertisement flow in upon him from
all sides, and the current Of his business
grows stronger and wider, and more ra
pid, all because to strict attention to bu
ness he added judicious ADVERTISING
But for this he might have fingered on
in the community for years. and his bust
ness would scarcely have been heard Of

THE ship P. N. Blanchard, of
1882 tons, launched at Yarmouth,
Maine, a short time ago, and now on
the way from Portland to San Fran
cisco, via New York, is one Of the
finest ships of her class ever built.
Her cabins are spacious and elegant.
The after cabin, in imitation of many
of the Boston aud Newburyport
built ships, is finished in mahogany
and birds eye maple while the fur
niture is Of black walnut and the
floors are covered with, Brussels
carpets. Contrasted with the first
ships of New England build we have
q striking illustration of the pro-
gress made in American shipbuildinp
in some special departments. There
is now a hOme-like atmosphere about
the cabins of frst-class ship which
the early shipbuilder never dreamed
of.

The people of our village were
much excited over the burning of
the woods last Tuesday night. The
fire got out from hunters.
There are still some improve
ments going on, and much stealing.
There have been six negroes and
two white boys taken to Jail from
this district in less than two months
the former for stealing cotton
from Capt. Eph. Gordon-who says
be has lost 3 or 4 bales this fall
The oldest rat in the barn was
caught last week, charged with
stealing , bushels of wheat He
says he didn't get that much, as
one-fourth was smut.
Some of our farmers are still
sowing wheat. They seem to think
it pays as well as cotton.
A lady near here says she is 60
ing to treat her neighbors on APP
pies Christmas day, if Tilden is
elected. Dear CITIZEN, please do
tell us that Tilden IS elected sure
enough, GUsHER.

Writing for the Press.

Mr.. EDITOR viii you favor me
with the privilege of expressing my
views in regard to your valuable
paper.
1t is a good paper I hail its ap-
pearance every week with delight,
and by the way, it is improving.
We need a good county paper, and
it is the duty of every man to sup
port it. / am pleased with its me-
chanical execution, its subject mat
ter. 1t is full Of interest, giving all
the latest news bearing on the po-
litical issues of the day.
I wish, however, to give my view s
in reference to some of its CORES
pondents. I hope you viii not con
slider me presumptuous, or egotis-
teal, or as endeavoring to advise
you in regard to the arrangement
or subject matter of your highly
appreciated paper, but for the good
Of the correspondents themselves,
especially Didymus.
I speak the sentiments of others
who have patFonized you for years.
When a man wishes to write for q
paper, the first essential prerequi-
site is to have something to write
and then write, and not burden a
valuable paper for which we have
to pay with a long article, that has
neither news, incidents, accidents
nor facts.
Didymus reminds me of the fable
of the man who endeavored to fiy
across the ocean with wings made
OF wax. He scared so high that
his wings melted, and he fell anC
was drowned. If Didymus had
some news, accidents. incidents, Of
facts to serve as q ballast he might
make it across, but as it is I feai
the consequences. VOx PoPULI.
