Advertising as a Means Of Credit

Every established local newspaper
receives subscriptions from large cit
les which puzzle the publishers, but
which the New York Times lately ex-
planned as follows: "A wholesale
merchant in this city, who had be-
come rich at the business, says bis
rule Is that when lie sells bill of
goods on credit to Immediately sub
scribe for the local paper Of his debt
or. So long as his customer a!yer-
tises literally and vigorously he res.-
ed, bnt Is soon as he began to con
tract his advertising space he took
the fact as evidence that there was
trouble ahead, and invariably went
for the debtor. Said he The man
who is too poor to make his business
known is too poor to do business"
The withdrawal Of an advertisement
is evidence Of weakness that business
men are not slow to act upon.

A Correct NieNY Of II.
Enqnirer-Snn.

I (Enquirer-Sun.
One of our esteemed contempora-
ries rem arks that e'the negroes seem
to be apprebensive that their race is
Increasing too rapidly, as we may in
fer from the manner in which they
are killing each other all over the
State" The 'colored brother" should
not deceive himsolf in this matter.
Did he know the truth no necessity
would arise for self-extinction of
the race. True, the census of 1880
shows a greater increase among
the negroes than the whites, but
there is a reason for this. The cen
sus of 1870 was most woefully incor-
rect. 1t is as one of cur contempo-
ranes remarked some time ago, that
those returns were made with view
to sustain the theory that the negro
population Of the South was being
destroyed by thousands by white
men, to serve the political ends Of the
Republicans. The returns Of 1880
were more nearly correct. Thou-
sands that were counted 'dead'' in
1870 We're returned "aliva'' in 1850
and this accounts for the fictitious
rates of increase Take observations
OF any given points and it will be
seen that the death rate is much
greater among the negroes than
among the whites, while there is not
a greater percentage Of births.

Gainesville Sonthren: "There are
living in the north end Of this county
two young men named John and
Sam Pasco, who are twins, and look
and dress exactly alike. Two or
three years ago they married twin
sisters, who look and dress exactly
alike. The boys Quilt two cottages
that look exactly alike, and each lady
has child about the same are that
look very nearly exactly alike. All
are in excellent health and last week
the whole party came to the city be-
hind span Of beautiful mules that
were nearly exact matches, The
boys are partners in mercantile bus
mess and are prosperous gentlemen.
If any county in the State can beat
this true story on matches, let them
step to the front and take the pre-
MUM.

Battling Sticks.

The washer-women OF Dawson
have not yet come out of Noah s
ark. They imagine, no doubt, that
they are washing for the good old
family Of Eight yet. They battle
all the buttons of your SHIRT, FRAGILE
out all your collars and cuffs. and
leave yonr wardrope hors dQ c0m5qt
generally. 1t is worth tie money
you pay for washing which accraes
IN the destruction Of your under
wear Why don't the washerwomen
use wash boards, or Washing ma
chimes, and not only save labor to
themselves, but save tie clothes Of
those who patroniza them It Is
hard enough to pay for clothing to
wear ont, but it is harder still to
pa1 for having them battled out.

Coming Back Home.

1t is mighty sad to see a girl come
back to her fathers house to I've al
ter she has been married a year or
two. Poor thing, she never knew
what a good home she had until she
left it, and, by and by she comes
creeping back pale and sad, and the
man she trusted goes another way
That is the wreck of a life. No more
happiness for her. No wonder that
parents feel anxious about their
daughters, aud the daughters ought
to tAink and ponder a long ii ue be-
fore they marry. A fathers house
ana mothers love are mighty hard
to beat. Bat thea a happy marriage
is the highest state happiness, and
every cir, ought to look forward o it.
There are lots Of clever young men
of good princl les and who have been
raised by good parents. The girls
onght to mate with 'em, money or
no money. Money is a good thing,
but principle IS better; apdit young
feller has got both, and don't drink
nor gamble, and is industrious and
healthy, why he is all light, and If /
was girl I would put him on proba-
tion and say. think You are a very
good man, but you know | am an

A few days since we sat down in
company with one Of the most IN
telligent and practical farmers in
our county and heard him deseant
upon the condition of the country
aboEt as follows:
Said he, ''the farmers are not as
badly hurt by the short cotton crop
as they would have themselves he
lieve. The fact is, if we can get
Gets. pound for our cotton we will
make more money this year than we
did last.
The writer ventured to ask the
gentleman to explain upon what hy-
pnthesis he based his views.

"if you wiiiIisten I'll try 10 explaio. .
Said he, sin the first place, last wear
our farmers paid from 60 to Is cts
per hundred to have their cotton
picked out. This yea- many Of Us
are hiring no extra labor at al, bot
gathering our cotton with the
same hands that made it. Not only
this but you will remember, last year
we had one OF the hardest storms
this country has ever Witnessed
early in September, The result, Of
which was that the larger part Of the
cotton crop was sold as storm cot
ton at very low figures. IT mast be
remembered, too" remarked our
friend, "that extra cotton pickars
were employed at the high rates al
ready mentioned to pick this cotton
mp off ofthe ground. In gathering
1t they could not have cotton less
than ten pounds Of dirt to every onp
hundred pounds Of cotton. This
dirt the cotton pickers received pay
for as so much cotton; but when
it was carried to the gin it was ali
whipped out, and the farmer, OF
course, was the loser, for he paid for
what he really did not get. The
cotton was left badly stained but
freed from the sand and dirt. This
year, the season for gathering the
cotton crop has been unusually pro-
pitious, and the result is a large
proportion of the crop Will be sold
as middling cotton; and, | repeat,
that if We can get Sets. for our cot
ton we Will make more money than
we did last year, although [
think the crop is at least ono-half
short"
care there any other reasons,
the writer asked, why our farmers
should cheer up and not despond?'
|.Yes, sir. Last year at this time,
white bulk meat was selling from IS
to 20 cts. per pound. Now, it can
be bought from s to 8 cts per
pound. Last year corn was sold in
this market on time at $1G0 per
bushel, whereas it can be bought
now in any quantity at 50 Cts. per
bushel. Last year, in September
meal was retailing in the stores Of
Dawson at 81 25 per bushel cash,
now it can be bought for 6j cts, or
about half. "What is more" CON
tinued the speaker, very few Of the
farmers of this section have had oc-
casion to buy anything on credit
this year, and under these circuln
stances, if they don't have more
money this season than they had
last, then, I'm no Judge
1t may add something to the

Household Econony.

Household Economy.

household labor and in the consump-

many children to support as the ser

The Govern Or's Portrait.

In the Governors room in
the Capitol Building there hangs
4 fine oil painting of each Chief
Magistrate of Nevada, from Nye
to Kinkeau. We understand
that all of these portraits, with
the exception of one, that of ex-
Governor kinkead, are pub i :

Dat Vas His PisxnesS

The American frequenters Of
Fischer & Decker's establish
ment have for years past vainly
tried to get the better of Mr..
Fischer by telling him improb-
able yarns ETC., but in spite of
his deficient familiarity with
our vernacular he has always
proven himself zone too many !"
for the boys. Last evening
several gentlemen visited that
establishment for a sandwich,
and while disposing of the
dainties the stereotyped effort
to draw the wool over Mr..
Fischer's eyes was made with
the usual result. At length
Hon. James w. Smith, of Eu-
reka, who was one Of the party,
intimated that he had a story
that would astonish the intend
ed victim, and he related an
anecd0te of James G. Oh esley,
who several years since was
supposed to have made balloon
ascension in Sacramento, taking
with him a rat and terrier.
At a hight of half mile Mr..
Chesley dropped the rat, and at
three-guarters Of mile the
terrier was dispatched after the
the rat, the dog killing the lat
ter before either touched the
ground. "What do you think
Of that, Mr.. Fischer >" asked
Mr.. Smith, while the rest of the
party were confidently expect
ing an exclamation of astOnish-
ment. "Vell," replied Mr..
Fischer, without smile upon
his face, "dot vas his regular
pisness, OATS yoost vat tink
apout it."
