"A word to our dry goods men on the
subject Of advertising. Some outsiders
want TO know why Jul dry goods men
don't advertise more, and think Austin
might be a good opening for dry goods.
What shall we tell them? No paper can
we'll represent our town unless business
men will give it the opportunity. The
TRANSCRIPT is the best medium in Mower
county through which t" speak to the
people. Dry goods men say the people
all know them. What if they do? So
they know J. D. Blake, of Rochester, and
a half dozen or more other live dry goods
men of that city who are doing a large
newspaper advertising aud consequently
a large trade with the surrounding coun
try. A lcthargic policy in any bushes.
will never build up a trade or make
fortunes. Bestir yourselves, friends
push and ADVERTISE.

was handled con amore. as became a o
thy son of true Pilgrim descent. 1t any
who listened have ever made the com
mon mistake Of Judging Puritanism to
have been but another name for narrow
prejudice, and blind bigo,ry, Mr.. Shaw
deserves their especial thanks for settling
the matter in the clear light Of truth.
Puritanism, as depicted by him. gave t.
the world its browning ideals Of liberty,
law, justice, and intelligence. And his
carefully exact statements evinced a
wealth Of historical; research entitled 10
full credit.
There were many passages of great
beauty and pathos-espcci"lly the des-
cr,ption If that first Sunday on the New
England shore. We only regret that the
unpleasant "ea'"~. @>r>s-
In the ir behalf We venture the hope that
they may enjoy hearing the same at some
future day.
