Says the Chenoa Gazette: The farmer
who sits around waiting for somebody to
turn up buried pot of cash on his place
Is generally "a useful citizen. He would
com money i'll the dairy business if cows
would only hunt him up at the proper
hour and back up to get MIXED.
Merchants and all other business men,
advertising is the life of your business.
Iour county papers are the means by
which you should advertise. A prosper
Gus paper shows a prosperous town A
prosperous town means live business
men. Live men patronize the printers

| We had thepleasure of visit this week
from Mr.. A. J. Field, handsome and
talented young attorney and insurance
agent OF our sister city, Oxford. He is a
member OF the legal, insurance and real
estate firm of Field & Register, and both
young gentlemen have many warm per
sonal friends here.
All the horse sense is not on this side Of
the globe. The Bangkok, Siam, Times
says: "You can't eat enough in week
to last a year, and you can't advertise
on that plan, either" Eminently cor
rect. 4 business mans advertisement,
like his sign, should be hung out all the
time Wilmington Star.
The streets of Henderson are named,
but very few of the citizens know what
their names are. What do our town au-
thorities say to having the name of each
street nicely painted and put up at the
crossings for the public to see? 1t would
not cost much and would be decided
convenience What say you, gentlemen
. Fine weather for the Weldon fair this
week. But say, did you ever see a real
bad rainy spell during the Weldon fair
We do not recOllect but one or two and
then only for portion of the week, dur
ing all these years the fairs have been
: held. Did you ever think of it? The ele-
ments seem to favor the Weldon fair
> always.

The modern saloon can not be run
) without boys no more than grist mil
with no grain to grind. There would bt
$ fewer saloons if young men under 81
years of age were prevented from patron
ling them. Did you never think of this
r Then teach your boy to keep away from
the saloon. And by example is the best
t way to teach him, too.

II Saws an exchange: No business mai
says he can't afford to patronize tn
# local paper He might as well say h
% can't afford to do business. The news
paper is really a Joint stock affair, an
every man who has any pride in his tow
y and his county, will help hold up tn
he hands of the man who is trying to run
N live local paper, and boom and build u
the town IN when Ills interests dFc Coll
: mon and mutual.
m We would be glad to have all the in
n portant news from the different portion
of the county, but care nothing abou
# the love scrapes of individuals, unles
j they result in marriage, suicide or gel
~ eral family row. Development news

know what is going on in your section
va country. The building of residence
es stores, saw mills, cotton gins, the cond
ly ton and result of the crops, &c, is wha
k. we desire to know about.
