CHARITY.-For charitv's sake the Nilsson Quar-
tette gentlemen of our town gave a concert in the
Opera House on Monday evening They were as
sisted by the G. A. Band and German Reform
Church choir, under the lead of Mr.. George Deu.
BILE. and Miss Webster presided at the piano. OF
course, all did their best on the occasion. We
would have been glad to have seen the house
filled for the sake of the poor of the town. 1t was
by no means failure, but several hundreds more
might have been accommodated.
The boys were well pleased with
A little farm well titled,
A little house well filed
A little wife well wiled,
Give me- give me.
The Nilsson trio that sang varied each to suit
one wanting tall tUJe and the other no wife at
all
The receipts amounted 10 1927, which will leave
about 300 clear money to be applied to the benefit
OF the poor and needy of Canton.

During the asst twenty-five years through
the immense competition in trade. it has be
come necessity. The public are always
anxious to learn OF progress, but arc equally
desirons to avoid all frauds, rs they have
genuine merit, and are particularly preju.
diced against sterling announcements OF
some new and wonderful medine without
character or worth. Still the public are
grateful to manufacturers or inventors OF ar
tcles OF merit, even II known as medicines;
many Of them are the result OF years OF care.
full study by our most eminent chemists and
productions as Quinine, Chlorotorm, Chloral
Hydrate, Porous piasters, &c.
Success in advertising depends much upon
the intrinsic worth OF the article 1t elf even
though it be a medical preparation, AS an
evidence Of this, q celebrated physician OF
New York made great improvement in Por-
ous PlasteTs by adding CAPCINE on account
OF its giving Increased effect and quicker re.
lief and cure than any known medicical
pioperty; he hesitated about advertising,
fearing his reputation would be injured. A
firm OF Pharmaceutical Chemists in his city

an arrangement with this phys and COM
menced advertising in the best newspapers |;
in a short time the sale increased from hun

continue the same old shop, in which
the same thieving business will be

change would be mostly a matter of

more than a change in the name over

be changed, and the peoples work
