The many patrons of Boyer & Shaw,
dealers in general merchandise at this
place, have been not little surprised
at the discovery of the fact that A. z.
Alexander, their head clerk, had been
tamperins with the money Of the firm,
and his summary dismissal from their
service. The news struck our commu-
nifty like a thunderbolt, as no had ever
dreamed that the energetic, attentive
and gentlemanly clerk was other than
perfectly honest, yet with all these quail
i6cations, he, according to his own ad-
missions, so far forgot himself as to
appropriate the pitiful sum of eleven
dollars paid him by a customer, and also
a five dollar bill marked and placed
where he would be apt to and did find
it. AS to whether he had taken other
or further sums from the firm, they do
not know, nor would he admit that he
had wronged them further than as they
had absolute evidence against him.

When business men of town fail to
advertise extensively, they diminish the
Importance and trade of the place and
permit enterprising localities to take the
latter from them. Although done for
their individual interests advertisers
should be looked upon by citizens of the
town where they reside as in some sense
public benefactors, and they should be
encouraged accordingly. One merchant
who advertises extensively, is worth to
his town and its people more than forty
who never show themselves in print,
and should be, for, this reason alone
preferred, assuming of course that he
is fair business man.
