sdertd victory for Allen.

How to Advertise Successfully.

Let the article you advertise be sufficiently val
liable, of public utility, and possessed of merit,
then never recommend it beyond such merit:
good article will sustain reputation and modera-
tion inspires confidence.
STATE facts only, or what you conscientiously be-
leve to be true. Facts, like diamonds, are always
valuable and difficult to mutilate.
Give your story concisely and to the point. Ad.
vertisements at best are prosy, and short ones
least extensive.
However anxious to make money, let its ac-
quirement be secondary to the principle of doing
good The qualification of doing good is the
greater reward
Never essay to build reputation by attempt
ing the ruin of another. Your foundation IS too
irail for substantial structure, and you unwlt-
tingly assist your adversary.
The above rules are those of the inventor OF
Fellows Syrup of Hypophosphites, and their OBJ
servance by an advertiser should insure demand
in the market for his merchandise, while the bust
ness prudence only is necessary to complete the
programme for success. mayl1-t&wlw

1t seems that the Centennial year is pregnant
with good things and thoughts. We hear of Cen

perhaps the best we hear of, is Centennial trees,
when our forests are being wasted and spent.
Warren is not behind in this, we think. Go
where we will we find a spirit of willingness to do
something in this direction. Along the road side,
in the front yards, on burial lots, on the common
| at Mallct's Corner, at the parsonages, in church
lots etc. etc. We went so far as to give a half
days respite in school, on Friday, and filled the
large and handsome lot at the academy. 1t was
dec dedly a joval time to the boys and girls.
They went to the woods and dug up the trees and
then worked well in digging and setting them out.
The girls partook of the spirit and lent helping
hand to the tired boys. After all was done the school
assembled in front Of! the building and enjoyed
song and sentiment appropriate to the occasion.
Miss Eaton the assistant teacher, read beautiful

by various scholars upon The Century" ''Pro-

upon Teachers and Education" Besides these,
reading of poems made the occasion one to be long
to be remembered. 1t paid US for all our trouble !;
but the thought that we were planting for others,
awakened the best of feelings. The analogy be-
tween the tree, its growth, shade and protect

scented and thoughts engendered. We cannot be at
