Good, fresh advertisements are not
the least interesting and valuable
portion of n paper. They tell the
readers what they want to know
where goods can be bought, what they
are sold for; who has houses to rent or
sell; who wishes 10 purchase real
estate; where employment and labor
can, be obtained and thousand other
things that people want to know. 1t
is an error to suppose that only the
editors AM reporters furnish all the
news worth reading. The skillful adj
vertiser furnishes good share of it.
and if there are any readers who fail
to look over the advertising columns
Of their paper, they miss n great deal
of information that would prove
valuable to them.-NOrthtield News.
A swindling scheme is being worked
quite extensively in this county
which for genuine gall, Outpasses any
thing of the kind ever tried. Every
tramp who goes through one portion
Of the country learns the name ofthe
towns clear across the county and
then goes up to farmer and piteeus-
ly appeals for aid, saying that the
night before he was burned ont while
his wife lay sick in bed and that he is
left in destitute circumstances. The
appeal seldom fails to bring forth a
half dollar or dollar from benevO-
lent farmer, and the fire flend" goes
on his way rejoicing. If one OF these
tiends makes An application to you,
inquire very closely into the ci-cum-
stances aud you will find him to be
an imposter-Northfie News.
Minnesota is in cold climate, but
it is pleasant one, and if the proper
attention is bestow we'd in fixing up for
the winter, we do not suffer so much
from the effects of the cold as do
people who reside in states further
south. Our dwellings, to be comfor-
table, should be thoroughly and eff
fectively banked with some suitable
material, such as sawdust; when that
cannot be obtained dry earth may be
used, or forest leaves, but we would
never use barn-yard manure, which
will prevent the frosts from penetrat-
ing into the houses, but is offensive,
and neither neat or tidy; dry earth
answers a very good purpose for bank
ing material. Common boards should
always be placed next to the walls of
the house, especially if the banking
reaches the timber portion of the
building, to prevent rotting.-Ex.
One of the best qualifications with
which business man can be blessed
it that of tact. It takes the place of
capital very largely, and is almost a
sure stepplng-stone to success, backed
by honesty and good Judgment. One
man gets on amazingly well, where
the difference is not to be explained
on any other supposition than that
the influence brought to bear on pur-
ehasers has been more powerful In
the one case than in the other. What
is this power? It is not merely po-
likeness, much less sycophancy. 1t is
not simply the ability to press for
custom. But now and then we find
men who can at once create sympathy
towards themselves. They have that
persuasiveness of manner, that attract
iveness of eye, that Willingness of
voice, but chiefly that genuine, wide
and thorough knowledge of human
nature that levels all distinctions, and
places them uneonsciously on level
footing with all with whom they
come in contact, thus establishing
mutual respect and symathy, and get
ting therefrom all the good results.
