Do not fail to read advertisements. The
person who takes paper nowadays, and neg
lects TO read over the advertisements, is apt 10
lose much valuable information. The adyer-
tisiug patronage Of a paper indicates not only
the enterprise of the city and county where it
is published, but 1t is also an infallible proof
that the business men are possessed Of vim
and goaheaditIveness. Show ne business
community which don't advertise, aud wen
show you community where business is stag
mated. The man who advertises in liberal
yet discreet manner is sure to take the lead OF
his s0eighbor who don't spend a cent for print
er's ink. 1t is also conceded that the man who
advertises keeps larger, better and more COM
plete stock of goods, and sells them cheaper
than the man who don't advertise. If you
want good bargains, call on the man WHO ad-
vertises.

THE NEW BIBLE.-QUICK WORK.

The new version of the New Testament,
which has been so many years in course OF
translation and which is unquestionably the
most important literary enterprise this century
has seen, is being waited for with curiosity and
anxiety by hundreds OF thousands. 1t is not
copies has already been manufactured in Eng
land. and 100000 copies are said to be already
in New York City, not one Of them permitted
to be sold. They are awaiting telegram from
the authorities in England authorizing their is
sue. The first copies can only be had at the
extravagant price of $40 per copy. The Liter
ary Revolution proposes fully to meet the de-
mands which it's army OF friends are making
upon it by doing probably the quickest work in
book making which has ever yet been accom-
plished. Arrangements have been fully made
to put the entire book into type inside OF "a
hours from the time q printed copy OF the
English edition can be procured, and within
three days at least 10000 copies will be bound
ready for delivery TO waiting purchasers, and al
least 5000 copies will be manufactured every
day thereafter, until the demand is met. 1t
will be printed in large, beautiful type neatly
and strongly bound in cloth, in q volume oi
about 500 pages, and sold at the nominal price
OF about 80 cents. A fine edition in half Rus
sia gilt top, will be sold for 60 cents, and one
IN full Turkey morocco, gilt edges, for S125.-
OF course the popular demand will be enor-
nous. Orders Will be filed in the order In
which they are received, with remittance

down in lrxurions spot unoer laurel bush
for a good nights sleep, when that inexorable
pest, the Orderly Sergeant, shook me by the
leg, and said in blandest tones, "Turn out
turn out, here! You are detailed, with four
teen men, to do special guard duty on the wharf
boats" "Ah then and there were hurrying TO
and fro, and cries aud groans and murmurs OF
Distress" and mutterings and "swear" express
sions, and believe most OF the victims thought
the Orderly hadn't made a fair deal and was
making them do double duty. Every veteran
will remember how it was, himself.

The large number of assessments in 1873
was caused by the extraordinary loss from yel-
low fever in the summer Of 1878 and 1879. In
requiring the sum Of 1885, 900 to pay the bene-
ficaries, These benefits were all paid or pro-
vided for on March 1st, 1879, two assessments
each being ade in November and December,
1873, and three each in January and February
1879, for this purpose.
That the Order could stand such sudden
stran as this, and pay the sum of S355,000 in
addition to It's usual death losses, in the short
space OF four months, proves its strength and
stability, and the soundness and capacity of the
system upon which it is organized and conduct
ed. Its enemies have always alleged that any
sudden and unusual increase in it's mortality
rate would cause it to collapse Their asser-
tions have been most slgnally contradcted.
In the summer Of 1879, there were twenty
nine deaths from yellow fever, requiring s5S,.
were met and promptly paid in the usual way
Aside from this the order contributed aud ex
pended over $4,000 in 1878 in the care and re
lief Of members in places afflicted with yellow
fever, and in 1879 about $4,000 for the sam,
purpose.
Thus the order has proved its capacity t
successfully meet the severest trial and stand
to-day the strongest, surest, and most efficien
In it's work OF any beneficial organization in tn
county.
The actual cost to member under forty-iv
years Of age who joined the order in the be
ginning, to Jan. 1st, 1881, has been seventysi
dollars, or an average OF less than eleven dol
lars per year, in assessments.
Add to this the initiation fee of 81, and 8
per year lodge dues, and the whole cost OF in
surance for seven years to member under
years old has been less than s13 annually. N
insurance company can compare with this re
cord.
