THE FOREIGN ADVERTISER.

I'll. W e dtoA Jul DlcCil u! VI tilc l'tco>,
''wlut shall we do with him?" Shall
we cut loose from him altogether until
he offers to pay cash, and each quarter
in advance; or shall we let Him run OH
as at present asking half rates, pay in
trade and we pay him the difference in
cash?
We throw away bushels of PROPOSE
tons to advertise sewing machines, pi-
amos, organs, guns, soaps, teas, indi-
goes, washing machines, etc, ETC., III
which they make us ''splendid offers''
to furnish pay in theft wares if we will
take double quantity and pay enough
in cash to cover all cost to them and
give them the advertising gratis.
Even from the best and most reliable
agents we get nothing that furnishes
amy pay to us. Geo. p. Rowell &
Company and Pettingill Il Company,
are reliable advertising agents. We
take space in their Newspaper Dircc-
tories and pay in advertising. But all
the advertising we ever get from them
is just enough to pay for our place in
the Directory.
There is Ash s. Robbins, OF Brook
lyn, who advertise remedies for Fits
and Consumption. They promise to
send first quarter in money rs soon rs
they receive the first paper containing
the adj. We insert it and send bill.
No response. Wewrite again. No re-
ply. Then we set that advertisement
aside and indulge in such reflections as
are permitted in orthodox converts.
AS Il rule. the foreign advertiser is
cheat or Il bore. Where lie is RESPONSE
ble and pays up in cash, he wants to he
put among the reading matter, III read
ing type, ut the top Of the column, and
at least half = column away from amy
other advertisement.
What do our brethren Of the country
press say to organizing and making Il
decided stand against all this class of
advertising?
We have booked T. new subscribers
in the last few days without any sole
itaton. The ADVANCE is not grow
ing with rush, not jumping out of the
ground, rs they say Of the crops, but
it's growth is steadily, healthy. and per-
manent. The paper is II necessity to
every one interested in Mobiles county,
and those who do not subscribe for it
borrow it regularly on the free lunch'
plan. No one feels that he has read
the news until he has read the AD-
VANCE.
We have received II copy Of the Num-
cy (p,.) Luminary containing an ac-
count of the celebration Of the golden
wedding of prominent citizen. a.
mony the speeches is II characteristic
one from our old friend DR.. B. 5. Lang
don.
By-the-way, the Doctor, we learn,
has been appointed Notary Public for
Lycommg county, an Office which pays
about 81 900 Il year.
It must have been 1T Il seancc that
the ADVANCE learned that Messrs.
| Thompson ard Sherineier were going
to open a bank at Worthington. These
gentlemen are now here and are spend
ing Il few days Oh their farms at Fish
Lake, and in IL few weeks they will
commence banking operations in Win
m.-Windom Reporter.
Huntington, did you credit that item
| to the ADVANCE OIL purpose, or did
you really make a mistake? That item
never appeared in the ADVANCE, ut
any rate.

Dolly, if you ;lint good, you'll go to the
bad place, and you'll siZzlc and sizzle,
and you won't burn up, but you'll slz-
zle and you'll sizzle forever.
A locomotive came down the road
the other day which appeared to have
all escape pipe in the rear. We thought
of Pope's beautiful lines:

A Skirt Suspenler Company sends us
an advertisement and says if we will
insert it, they will send us by mail "a
pair Of our skirt suspenders for your
lady, which will be a positive blessing
to her." Accepted.
Now if some other establishment will
furnish the lady and take advertising
for pay, won't we be fixed?
