Our popular undertaken, Valentine
Schwartz, has just received a new and very
handsome hearse, from Cincinnati manu-
factory, aud disposed of his old one to firm
in Monroe county. Mr.. Schwartz is one of

wants of the living, but gives them the con-
ISOLATION of knowing that they will have
handsome conveyance to the grave.
You invariably find the merchant who
don't advertise charging more for his goods
than his neghbor who does advertise. The
reason is simple enough; fa man don't ad-

advertiser largely increases his sales and
makes more money even when selling at
lower price than his old fogy neighbor who
thinks it don't pay TO advertise. Always
consult the advertising columns of your
newspaper before making purchases.
