AdvertfsinR.

The man who says advertising is a
humbug, is doing that very thing
when he places his goods out on the
sidewalk or near the door for show,
or has cards lying around on his
counter, for his customers to take
and distribute to their friends-but
how many do-they might while in
the store, read one over, but it is soon
dropped and forgotten. While a
yearly advertisement in the town pa
per is read by hundreds, who would
never see card. Then large adj
vertisement for one week or two, has
not the same effect as a yearly one.
The person who is going to purchase
goods, would naturally say, this man
must be reliable one and his goods
the best, for we have noticed his ad-
vertisement in the paper constantly.
You buy your goods and expect Gus
TONERS, then surely you ought to ad-
yertise them. A steady rain does
more good than dashing shower, SO
a yearly advertisement, brings more
profit to the advertiser, than an an
nouncement for . week or two

Our arrangements for making some
improvements in the New DOMINION
are progressing. 1t has always been
our cherished desire to make for the
Democracy a strong organ, and for
the people generally good newspa-
per. Our progress would have been
much more advanced, if our friends
had exerted themselves little more
in our behalf. While our business
is fair, the great drawback is the
slowness of many of our patrons in
settling their bills. We have many
very prompt paying patrons, yet those
who withhold payment for some time
compel US to Immediately use all the
funds received from prompt paying
patrons, to keep our business going.
We have no complaints to make.
We merely desire our subscribers and
other patrons to understand the i'm
portance Of promptly paying. Any
one will readily see that five or six
hundred subscriptions paid in ad-
vance gives us good working cap
ital, and allows us to put more work
on our paper. On the other hand if
we trust out five hundred or thou
sand dollars, it taxes us very heavi-
ly to carry it, We desire every citi-
zen to consider himself personally in
terested in the success of his county
paper and to say good word for it
when an opportunity is offered For
any one to say ''its no account" or
there's nothin' in it, is not the way
to build up your county Paper. Read
it carefully, consider the difficulties
the editor labors under and make
reasonable allowances for its short
comings. With your cooperation it
is bound to succeed and will be a
power in the county and bring as
heavy returns to its community as
any other institution a county can
sustain.

Judge Brannon has been informed
by the Clerk of the Court of Appeals
that no writ Of supersedeas was al
lowed in 1869 or 10, in the Elihu
Gregg case, as was suggested by
Gregg's counsel last week. At some
day during this term the Judge will
rs-sentence Gregg to be hanged. 1t
was circulated by several papers a
short time since that Gregg would be
hung on the 9th of February next,
From the above it will be seen that
the day for his execution has not yet
been fixed.

Two young bloods of town have
been playing sharp on whoever they
could take in for the last few days
The n,odus operdndi was for one of
them to have piece of leather taken
from his pocket by his confederate,
aud three cent piece carefully wrap
ped in it, is taken out. Bystanders
seeing the operation, no trouble would
be experienced in getting up a bet,
that the leather contained no money.
When open another piece of money
would be found carefully slowed
away in secret slip of the leather and
the unsophisticatcd better invariably
lost his money. The capers Of the
boys caused considerable merriment,
but in itself is bad and should be
stopped at once.

The FESTIVAL. The Festival Civ
en- at Academy Hall, last Wednesday
and Thursday evenings, for the benz
eft of the new M. p. Church. was a
brilliant success in every way. The
attendance was immense and every
thing passed off in the pleasantest
and most enjoyable manner. On
Thursday evening no little pleasure
was given the assemblagc by the
splendid music Walter Mestrezat and
his brilliant accompanist gave. We
heard number speak of it in glow
ing terms. The net profits OF the
festival are, we learn, at least $I75.
This will be gratifying to all WE'LL
w!shcrs Of the new church and re-
fleets credit upon the ability of those
who managed the enterprise. A card
of thanks will be seen in another
column, from the committee, thank
ing those who aided them.

HALE AND HEARTY AT 103.--We
are the recipient of few lines from
Thomas Eagleson, of Nicholas coun-
ty. In his note Mr.. Eagelson in
forms us that he was born on the 9th
day of June, 1776, in the county OF
Tyrone, Ireland. He is hale, hearty
and active as man of so; has per-
feet use of the organs of sight and
hearing, can write very legible hand,
and as dancer has few equals. In
stead of giving way to old age, he says
he feels almost as well as at any period
of his life, and is confident that he
will yet live to be an old man. He
is temperate in habits yet not a
strict teetotaler. Just to show the
Youngsters about him that he was
as good as any, he recently turned
out, did a good days work and fin
ished it up by participating in a
lively "frolic" at night, out dancing
every one present.-Roaae County

one of their number was promenad-

when from group of bystanders there
emerged the small figure of a man, who
spoke and offered his hand. The Eel

had nothing to do with it, and for
them to enjoy themselves and come
