Advertising Advaafaqes.

Advertising Advaafages.
This is in all respects an era Of
progress, and all branches of bust
ness in order to be rendered remu
nerative, must be pressed with ener
gy. II aman engaged in mercantile
or other pursuits, hopes to ascend in
the financial scale, he must take
some means to let the world know
who he is, what he has to sell or
transact, and the terms on which his
goods will be parted with or the ar.
rangement he is willing to make to
secure his business services. To sit
idly and think that the busy world
will note you is preposterous. You
might as we'll expect to read on a
dark night from tallow candles hid
under a box. People now need
counting. They must be wooed for
their trade. There is too much to
sell and too many engaged to expect
trade to follow without Offering
some inducement to secure it. Hav.
ing decided to speak to the public,
the next question for a business man
to consider is the source through
which he will make his wants or
offers known. In advertising, like
every other branch of business, the
object should be to get as much as
possible for the least remuneration.
In laying claims before the public,
there are several considerations to
he considered. First of all, is to be
weighed the extent of patronage a
paper enjoys in the way of subscrip-
ton and the class or condition Of it's
subscribers, aud second the prices
charged for advertising. So far a.
the Banner is concerned we have no
special pleading to put up. The
business of the paper speaks for
itself. In the matter of adverting,
we feel no hesitation in asserting
that no journal Of similar charac.
ter in this country has ever been
more fortunate in securing to its ad-
vertising patrons just return for
the money they have invested.
The Banner is we'll established
and is the only paper published in
Bossier-containing all the legal ad.
vertising, etc., of the parish-hence
it is read By a class that no other
paper is closely scanned by. If dry
gOodS merchants, grocery dealers
and others would think for = mo-
ment, they would naturally come to
the conclusion that q general dis
play in the Banner, going as it does
10 the hearthttones Of SO many fam. |
lies in Bossier parish, is bound in
The end to rebound to their business
advantage.
We have thrown out these sug.
,estions now at the threshold of the |
ALL trade. We hope they may be |
productive of mutual advantages.

BLIND LETTERS.

A writer upon postoffice matters in
the Philadelphia Press says some of
the blind letters are very curious.
The following are samples:
Mrs. JOHN SMITH.
In care of her dad.
This, it is to be feared, will not be re-
ceived, for who Mrs. John Smith is
would be hard to trace or where her
dad lives. Another is
l.. LOGAN,
Logan City, Penna.
1t is very easy to see that the writer
of this simply rewrote the last name in
his mind instead of the one he ought to
have written. Orctaved Canady P. o.
office for Margaret Kennedy is perhaps
meant for Ontario, but it is safer to send
the letter to the dead letter Office than
to try.
Miss Bridget Carr Underhill Anco-
ner Virgin st. Ga is hard to decipher.
Here is letter to Mrs. IT, j. Carlile
G, which is little too much abbrevia-
ted even for the blind man to read
In the foreign mail there lies let
ter sufficiently stamped to be sent, but
which, it is to be feared, will not reach
its destination, for it is superscribed

MARRIED ON A RAILROAD Train
This morning a novel ceremony took
place at the Central Depot that was
very interesting to those who wit
messed it. The st. Louis express from
the East, which should arrive here at
5.l5 A. NJ, was two hours late, and
the officers at the depot noticed an old
gentleman present who seemed in
rather an excitable condition 1t was
subsequently learned that he was wait
ing for no less a person than his ex-
pected bride, Miss Mary Olcott. 1t was
their intention, on the arrival of the
train, to proceed to the house of the
Rev. Mrs. Gardiner, on Jones street
who was to unite them in marriage,
when the happy couple were to leave
Spencerport, where the husband, who
stated his name as E. w. Locke, had a
pressing engagement this morning.
The dilatoriness of the train some-
what disarranged these plans, and in
stead of the couple going to Mrs. Gar
diners house the reverend lady was
brought to the cars. On the arrival Of
the train the minister and bridegroom,
together with Robert Ray and a few
other spectators, boarded the car
where the bride was. One end of the
car was cleared and the ceremony
took place, Ray giving the bride away
while Scott acted as best man for the
groom.-Rochester (N. " Union.

we sympathetically asked.
"Val," he said, "zhe dakes no pedts

"You can't get married again with

planned
"Deforce vat ish dot" he asked
"Why you must bring her into
Court and have a lawsuit; if the
Judge thinks she ought not to be your
wife any longer and says so, then you
are at liberty to marry again." we
replied
"Got to haf lawzuit," cried he,
terrified "Py tam Eight no! |

A HOUSE MADE OF ICE.-A house Z
of ice. similar to that which was built !
in the Empress Anne's reign, is about
to be constructed in the Geological
Garden at Moscow. The managers
of that establishment have found
among its archives some valuable de-
tails as to the mode of building which
was adopted on the former occasion,
and they will be adhered to in the
present instance. The first edifce
was raised between the Admiralty and
the Winter Palace, at st. Petersburg,
in l740, and was formed throughout
walls, roof, windows, decorations,
alike-of ice. The blocks We're cut in
square shape and their surface
sprinkled with water, which, when
the cubes were placed in juxtaposition,
froze in the interstices and bound the
whole into one compact and solid
mass. At the entrance of the struc-
ture was large gallery filed with
statues The pilasters on the exterior
were fashioned to initiate green mar
bles. The ante-chamber possessed
four windows and the other rooms FIVE
each, while on the sills stood vases
filed with flowers made of ice, shrub
like plants, covered with birds of the
Same material, standing at the corners.

EDISON AND HIS CAT.-One of Mr.
Edison's friends told an amusing story
last evening about an early experiment
of the inventors with electricity. Edi-
son, having seen the sparks dy in strok-
ing a cats back, procured large cat
and used one of its paws as electrodes.
Then he tried to start an induced cur
rent by rubbing the cats back briskly.
1t was entirely successful, and Edison,
his friend said, still bears on his hands
the marks that resulted from using the
cat as an indUctdr.-Ner York Sun.

GEN. ROGER A. PRYOR, now New
York lawyer, has received from Vir-
ginia friend a curious relic of the war.
1t consists of two bullets that evil
IDENTIFY met in the air over some battle
field, and happening to strike each
other on their conical points, were
firmly welded together The ball that,
from its shape, is supposed to have
been fired from Union soldiers gun,
apparently was going with greater
speed than the other, and is more con-
spicuous in the relic. The bases of
the balls are split apart and flattened
against each other The relic has been
mounted in gold as q pendent.
