TIE WISE AND yHwEsE.

There are some people il every CON-
mucity, ii matters no. how active, az
gressiye and enterprising the great
majority Of the people may be, Who
look upon advertising as a matter
either Of good nature, extravaganza or
e5oLism upon The part OF lie adve.-
tiser, and thiuls that money spent in
that direction for the Iaost part, entirely
wasted
These are the persons, however,
who are entirely content with what
.hey are already doing, and who be-
lievs that certain amount OF trade
belongs to them aud will come anyhow,
whether they bestir themselves and
bid for it or remain passive and put
every cent they make deep into their
pockets.
These are The men also who are
Invariably left behind in the race Of
progress and the continually Increasing
activity OF commercial life.
They make SIS and put it il the
bank, Another man makes s. and in-
vests 81. He WAITS 10 buy his goods
ia the cheapest market. He wants
the very best quality he can get for
the money He wants his goods
arranged aud shown to the best advar-
taae. and chen lie wants the people,
everybody, to know the inducements
he can offer. lie adyertises
to do this, not niggard.y, but
wisely aud judiciously. He keeps
himself aud his business constau tly be-
fore the public, and is always making
additions to his stock and improve
lnepts in various ways when possible.
IN consequence he soou builds up a
large and extensive trade, leaving be-
hind his less enterprislng competitors.
This is no picture of fancy. Hundreds
of instances inEwhich this has been
doue might be cited in proof Of it.

Ugly Investigation.


Ugly Investigation.
LONDON, November 1S.-Six sittings
have been held in Camera, at the
Marlborough street court, to inquire
into abominable charges made against
members of the West End club.
Several lads, postal messengers,
were a. rested in connection with the
case. The scandal involves an emf
nent politician, an officer attached to
the royal household and several peers.
Some of the accused are reported TO
have fled.
The magistrates who conducted the
investigation sent a report OF the re-
suit 10 the government, asking what
course the authorities ought to fol-
low. The government did not de-
sire to spread the scandal if the
offenders would exile themselves and
the proceedings have accordingly
been abandoned.

Roanoke offers special advantages

That Safe.

Buukie Blade Country editors are
noted for their impecuniosity. Good
win of the Opelonsas Courier in some
mysterious manner has come into pos
session of an iron safe, whereupon the
Morgan City Review comments as fol-
lows: Edwin Goodwin, editor OF the
0pelousas Democrat, has bought safe
regular iron safe with combination
lock. Just what he is going to use it
for is a mystery. Ed is great fisher
man, and so is George Elms, his bosom
friend, who used to purloin Eds workpel
and fishing takle. 1t may be that Ed
will put these things III his safe. We
don't know what other use lie can make
of it,
Bro. Goodwin has but recently be-
come the editor Of the st. Landry Dem
ocfat. We would inform the Blade,
en- PEASANT, that he has not yet been
promoted to the editorial tripod of the
CoURIER As he offers the safe for
sale, it must be one that he owned be-
fore he entered the lucrative field of
country journalism and which he finds
too small for his present needs. He
might be induced to trade for larger
Oilfs.

Que hundred arpents of ramie, averaging nine
feet III height and beautifully aud evenly de-
yeloned. Ii is now being harvested. Here
tofore the cutting has been done by hand,
which is tedious and heavy work. Messrs
e. Lacoste s. Bro. were ot the opinion that
one of the heavy No Osborne mowers would
do the Job, and induced Gen. sewell to let
them make the experiment. About three ar
pents we're crt, aud the No. worked like II
charm. Gen. Sewell was delighted, and i'm
nediately adopted the No. Osborue for
harvesting the crop. This is d valuable dis
ceyery, and will save much time and labor.
