 ADVERTISING. We frequent ly meet with men who say they can get along just as well without advertising as with it. These men will always be found slow, unsuccessful and tout of luck. :" Whenever they have anything to sell or to buy, they will have to take less for what they sell and pay more for what they buy than anybody else.
 We find in all exchange the following illustration on this point:
 Here is warning for men too mean to advertlse: One of this description wanted to sell some land, and so he put written mo- tice in one of the hotels the other day. A man who was inquiring a for small farm was referred to the written notice, when he replied "I can't buy land at fair price of any man who does his adver- tising in this way. He'd steal the fence, the pump-handle, and the barn doors, before he'd give up possession

Newspapers at the Centennial.

The special correspondent of the London Times says it would be diffi- cult to find an apter illustration of the big way in which the Americans do things than that furnished by the "Centennial Newspaper Build ing" in the Exhibition grounds. Here you may see any one, or, if you like, all of the S, l29 newspapers published regularly in the United States, and see them, enc and all, for nothing! You are not only per mitted as favor to see them, but invited, nay, pressed, to confer the favor of entering the building and calling for what paper you like. It is about as cool and agreeable q place--quite apart from its literary attractions--as Il visitor to the EXhi- bition could wish to be offered q chair in. He may at first wonder how, among 5000 papers, among them such mighty sheets as the New York Herald, he is to get at the small, loved print of his home, thousands of miles away, it may be, over the Rocky Mountains. But the management is so simple that, by consulting the catalogue, any one can at once find whatever paper he wants. They are pigeon-holed on shelves in the alphabetical order of their States and territories and their towns, the names of which are clearly labelled on the shelves. The proprietors of tae Centennial News paper Building are advertising agents, the largest in all America Mcssrs. G. F. Rowell X Co.,, of New York. Their enterprise will cost altogether about SEQ, 900, or 1000, including the building and the ex- penses of running" It for six months. The 5000 and odd Ameri- can newspapers are declared by the same authority, to exceed "the com bined issues of all the other nations of the earth"

 To the Publie-Nctice is given that we hereby annul the agreement for public discussion between B. Rose and G. A. Holt, which was to have taken place at Georgetown on the 3d Sunday in September.
 We state our reasons for this ac- ton to be as follows: The Metho- dist denomination do not endorse Mir. Holt, and decline to recognize the arguments which he may pro- duce as in accordance with their doctrine and belief, and we do not propose to enter into a discussion with any body unless he reflects the belief of the denomination to which he belongs. This we deem sufficient cause for the cancellation of the agreement for discussion.

A Farmers Convention.

That excellent paper for the far mer, (and, by the way, every far mer in the State should take and read it regularly the Arkansas State Grange, proposes . State Con- ycntion composed of farmers of the different counties in the State to be held sometime this winter at Little Rock.
 We think the suggestion q timely and valuable one. Every other class of people seem to work to q 1 better advantage and to understand the benefit of co-opeiat ation and inter- exchange of views better than the farmer. Why should those who are engaged in the noblest and most important industry of all-the clllti- vation of the soil--be behind all others in the advancement of their following? If it is beneficial to all others to meet and confer togeth- 1 CT TOT the auNancemenI Ol Inelf va rious trades, professions and occu- pations, why would it not be equally, or more so, to farmers. There is certainly as. much room for the im- provement of our system of agricul- ture, as there is in any other depart ment of our trade or industry.
 An annual convention of farmers would, in our opinion be good thing for the country, and we pre- dict that it would bear fruits which would soon be made manifest in q great improvement in the system of agriculture now ill vogue.
 We commend the suggestion of the l Grange to the serious consideration of the farmers of Pope county.

Symptoms of a Diseased Liver. DAIN in the right side, under the l edge of the ribs, increases on pres sure; sometimes the pain is in the left side; the patient is rarely able to lie on the left side sometimes the pain is felt under the shoulder-blade, and it frequently extends to the top Of the shoulder, and is sometimes mis- taken for a rheumatism in the arm. The stomach is affected with loss of appetite and sickness; the bowels in general are costive, sometimes alter native with lax; the head is troubled with pain, accompanied with dull, heavy sensation in the back part. There is generally considerable loss ofmernory, accompanied withap pain ful sensation of having left undcne something which ought to have been done. A slight, dry cough is some times an attendant. The patient complains ofweariness and debility; he is easily startled, his feet are cold or burning, and he complains of prickly sensation of the skin; his spirits are low; and although he is satisfied that exercise would be bene- ficial to him, yet he can scarcely summon up fortitude enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts every rem edy. Several of the above symp- toms attend the disease, but cases have occurred where few of them ex- isted, yet examination of the body, after death, has shown the LIVER to have been extensively derangcd.
 AGUE AND FEVER.
 DR. C. MeLANE's LIVER PnIS, IN CASES or AGUE AND FEVER, when taken with Quinine, are productive of the most happy results. No better cathartic can be used, preparatory to, or after taking Quinine. We would advise all who are afflicted with this disease to give them A FAIR TRIAL.

binding wheat 10 write much, but the readers
of the EAGLE must have few items from old
Rockford. The harvest is nearly finished and
the great rows of shocks and the dark waving
corn fields has a tendency to make one forget
the grasshopper year. The wheat is not quite
SO good as last year, but still there will be an
immense amount oft. The increased amount
sowD, over last year, will much more than
make up for the small deficiency OF yield. The
wheat crop sown this coming fall in Rockford
township and the northeast corner of Sumner
county, will be an increase of more than 100
per cent. over the present crop. That may
seem a little too large, but from inquiry and
observation, l am satisfied Of the truth Of the
assertion. Some even claim the crop will be
more than 200 per cent. larger next year. Here

The Singer Sewing Machine.

Over one million and half in use. The
most durable and ligbtest running machine in
the world. As an evidence, the Singer, REM
about the same time and put into market, and
at the present day the Singer has over one
million and half in use, the Wheeler & Will
son has about five hundred thousand and the
Remington has the small, insignificant num-
Der of five thousand nine hundred and fifty
three, which can be seen on the upper end of
the needle burr, which makes the Remington
the last choice OF the people, and they would
not have sold one quarter that number had
they not sold them under fictitious name.
For many years the Remington machine COM
pany have attempted to force their machines
on the market as the Remington, but failed,
which reminds me of several occurrences.
Fifteen years ago the third day OF July, was
in Bloomington Illinois, stopping with a
friend by the name of ID. IL. Horner. There
were two agents at the place, the Wheeler
Wilson and the Remington. The Wheeler +
Wilson agent had confidence enough in his
machine to sell it on Its own reputation, but
the Remington agents confidence failed him,
and he attempted to sell 1t as the improved
Weed. Some five years ago, while l was sell
ing the Howe, happened to meet an agent
that was selling the Remington. He had as
little confidence IN his machine as the first
one met, and he attempted to sell it as the
improved Howe, and have been credtably
informed that the Remington agents are sell
ing their machines here as the improved
Singer, which is false. There is no improved
Singer except the original one, which cannot
be sold in the Southwest except by or
through me. Those who wish to buy the
Remington are welcome to, but | deem it my
duty to inform the good people of the South
west, through the columns Of your paper, SO
they will not be imposed upon in buying ma
chimes. A machine that cannot be sold on
its own reputation should not be sold on the
merits of a machine that has been long tried
and proved, without doubt, the best in the
world The impositions offered are OF the
deepest dye. w. MASON,
