DRIVING 'PossUMs LIKE HoGs.-The
Charlotte On. c. OJserrer is authority for
the statement that f. McCord, of that city,
left Thanksgiving Day for the mountains to
collect drove of 'possums, and that on
Saturday last he was heard from on his way
back, with 1913 'possums, which he drove
along the road as if they were SO MANY
hogs. He camped ont at night securing
his drove by means of poles, having ten
'possums to the pole. He kept three dogs
barking all night, and these kept the
'possums so frightened that they held a firm
grip to the poles with their tails, and never
thought of loosng their grip until sun-up.
This may DO regarded as the champion
'possum story Of the season.

ALEXANDRIA, VA.
THURSDAY EVENING, DEC. II, 1882.

WE LEARN from our Washington cor
re5pondence that democrats from various
parts Of Virginia now in that city arc all
talking about the imperative necessity Of
recognizing their party for the spring
campaign, and that all agree that that re-
organization should be perfected as soon ~
possible in order to make it practically
effective. The plan that seems to meet
with the mos, favor is that State conyen-
tion to represent all democrats no matter
what their opinions on the State debt may
be, but which must not be so large as to be
unwieldly, shall be convened not later than
March, and that ii shall effect reorganiza-
ton in which all the elements of the party
shall be recognized and represented, and
which shall so drill equip and discipline
the party that it shall go into the next
campaign mol only confident OF victory, but
so prepared that defeat will be impossible.
That this is a wise plan none can doubt hnt
those who do not know that though Eir-
ginia has three hundred and fifty thousand
voters, Malone carried the State last month
with only one hundred and one thousand
votes, thousands OF which were fraudulent.
Let the State Committee issuc Z call for a
State convention in time for the counties 10
hold their meetings and appoint delegate
who Shall assemble not later than March.

why Advertising Pays.

A. E. Burkhardt. one of the most
successful business men of Cincinnati,
in an address delivered before the Com
merciai club of that city, said: 81 have
cast my minds eye hurriedly back e
nv experience in Cincinnati, and | am
fully convinced that in fifteen years,
with the advertising l have done, /
have pushed my business to a standing
that it would have taken thirty years
to reach without advertising. In truth,
it is doubtful if I could have at all at
tanned the results | have without the
aid of newspapers. Certainly the
newspapers are the cheapest medium
for making your trade known to the
greatest number of people. Printed
circulars may possibly reach a thou
sand persons whose lame you know,
your old customers. Your announce
ment 10 a leading journal will reach a
hundred thousand whom you never
heard of. New dealers coming into
the field will see your mann and bust
ness, and know where to find you.
Your standing advertisement is a
standing notification to buyers that
you are alive and there. 1t is a per-
petual letter Of in PRODUCTION"
