4 Nafl-Head Hft.-An exchange re-
marks:
When you hear man sneering at the local
paper, because they are not as big, cheap and
newsy as the city papers, you can safely bet
that he does not squander his wealth in assist
ing to make them better, and that generally
the papers have done more for him than he
has for them. The men who cannot see the
benefit arising to town from its newspapers
hasn't the sense of an oyster, and he is about
as much value to town as a delinquent tax
list
And another says:
Concerning what are known as standing
advertisements in newspapers, which some
merchants say are useless, it has been remark
ed, and truly, that they command confidence
The man who for years in a community lives
respectable life, even though he be of mod
crate ability, will grow in the confidence and
esteem of his fellows. On the same principle
newspaper advertisement becomes familiar
to the eyes of the reader 1t may not be read
every week, still it makes the name and bust
ness of the man familiar, and its continued
presence in the columns of paper inspires
confidence in the stability of the advertiser

latter body to say that the failure to
act was an oversight which, we learn,
has since been taken into account and
measures instituted to remedy the
trouble.

Some unknown party or parties
pried open W. II. Parker's stable door

bination played "M'Liss" last evening

Miss Jennie Calef is the star, and the

very flatter5ng.
In lengthy list of towns and cities
the Meyersdale Commercial records
