Mr.. Wood, of Huntington, Agent
for the Woods Patent Crate Setting,
is in town, doing the work in this
line. His manner of setting CRATES
beats anything ever introduced
here. We had CRATE fixed on his
plan, a few days ago, and it burns
SO little coal, and emlts SO much
heat in the room that we have to
keep the doors open and the win
dows raised most of the time. II

How Nor TO ADvERr1sE.-Read
the following plans for advertising
and then don't do it in that way:
"Have your card in the hotel reg
lister by all means. Strangers stop
ping at hotel for a night generally
buy a cigar or two before they leave
town.
"Print in the blacklist ink great
sprawling card on all wrapping pa
per. Ladies returning from shop
ping tour like to be walking bulle-
tins, and if the ink rubs off and
spoils some of their finery, no mat
ter.
"If an advertising canvasser wants
your business advertised in a fancy
frame at the depot, pay him about
two hundred per cent. more than it
is worth, and let him put it up
there. When a man has three
quarters of a minute in which to
catch a train, he invariably stops to
read advertisements.
"Don't fail to advertise in every
circus programme. 1t will help the
circus to pay its bills.
ga boy with a big placard on a
pole is an interesting object on the
street, and lends a dignifed air to
your establishment.
Advertise in a calendar. People
never look at a calendar to see what
day of the month it is. They mere
ly glance hurriedly at it SO to be
sure that your name is spelled with
out D."

Get ready to sneeze; the influenza
is here. No bolts nor bars can stop
its progress, no medical science can
ward off its attack. The disease
known just now as Russian Infiuen.
"a" we are told, cannot be distin.
guished from hard cold, and is en-
tirely harmless, except to the con-
sumptive, and weak-lunged and to
those who have predisposition to
bronchial catarrh. Its first symp.
toms resembles the onset of mild
typhoid. 1t begins with a chill, and
in some cases is accompanied by ex,
treme weakness. A fever usually
succeeds, and the temperature rises
as high as 102 degrees. There are
also severe headache, pains in the
eyes, back and limbs, and generally
all over the muscular system, &C.
companied by cold chills running
up and down the back.
