Cause and Effect.

Because no particular transaction can
be traced as the direct result OF any one
advertisement is no argument that adver-
Using does not pay. Hest and water are
essential to the generation Of steam: yet,
any part of the power that the steam pro-
duces cannot be attributed to any particu-
lar drop Of water or particle offuel, or any
especial ray of heat. Among business
men it is fact. which may be easily
proved by observation. that those who
advertise judieiously are the most sue
cessful il is fact which, TO the refec-
tive mind. al once suggests cause and
effect. Any advertisement which makes
your name and business known in the
locality from which you wish patronage,
is good: but the newspaper is the best
and cheapest medium of introduction to
the people OF whom you wish TO make
customers. A fence advertisement COM
mands but passing attention. and will be
knocked into "pi by the farmer when
he makes his spring repairs. The cir
eular contains nothing of general inn
portance and goes into the waste basket
unread; but the newspaper. with charac-
,eristes of literature. humor, politics or
news. commands the attention and re-
spect of the people, and an advertisement
in it will certainly be seen and read. OF
course. the journal which has the largest
circulation among all classes is the paper
in which an advertisement will be the
most profitable. This being the fact. we
mention THE ARKANsAw TRAVELLER as
the paper having the largest circulation
in the State; the only paper published
here that is sold by newsdealers in every
State and territory in the union. and in
Canada; has subscribers in almost every
country on the globe. and is increasing
daily in popularity and circulation every
where. These are facts which should
strike" every man who wishes to adj
vcrtise prohtably.

unable TO furnish the $50, 600 bail de

view of certain evidence now in the
hands of the state the bail instead OF
being reduced would probably be in
creased. The prisoner was committed
