SHALERSVILLE,

Those from this place who attended the Fast
Mail" at the Opera House. last Thursday eve
ming. pronounced it one of the finest perform
ances. both in scenic effects and acting. they had
ever seen.
Mr.. and Mrs. Will Barber, of Garrettsville

The Lyceum at the School house in the Cooley
district. last Wednesday evening. was well at
tended. and most of the exercises rendered were
very good indeed. One marked feature we could
not help noticing-and we think it worthy OF
special mention-was the strict attention to the
business of the evening by the members. They
were not seen out of their places. laughing and
carrying on generally. but it was evident they
felt some responsibility resting upon them, and
acted accordingly. It is hoped they may do
much good.
Itseems to be :" nip and tuck" between Allan
and George" with the old gentleman about a
length ahead.
Mrs. Geo. Dickson is still quite sick.
H. T. Tousley. who was killed last week at
Mantua by the cars. was brother of Mrs Will

We are constrained to advance to the singers
OF this place thought or two on music at fune-
raj services. Why do not some of the singers
form a quartette, or even several of them, for
the purpose of responding to requests for SER
vices of this nature?
No quartette can be hurriedly collected for
| the above purpose who can, for lack of practice,
do justice to the music at these services. 1t re-
quires careful practice. and no part of the last
sad service rendered our friends, can be made
more beautiful, or give more comfort than well
chosen and well rendered music.
We have so often noticed the difficulty OF
procuring singers for these occasions. We have
been informed by one of the pastors of this
place, that it otter requires more time and labor
to procure music than it does to prepare his
own remarks, upon which we well know he la
bors faithfully and devotes much time. Indeed
it is often impossible to procure even quartette
for an occasion o + this kind.
This is confessedly due to the fact that there
are but comparatively few competent singers to
| respond to requests of this nature. The few
| from the church choirs who will assist on these
occasions are of-necessity always in demand
and are even called upon to go distances into
the country. This finally becomes burden
and the consequence is often an entire refusal to
respond to these calls.
There is certainly remedy for this state O
affairs. and it seems to be in the formation o.
one or more quartettes, who will for a fair con.
sideration, lend their services on funeral occa
sions. Good music may thus be always procur.
able, and no burden be laid upon the pastor tc
go around begging for assistance, and devoting
half day or more to his efforts in this direc
ton; and surely no burden imposed upon the
singers. who will be enabled to devote somt
time and labor to their music.
We believe there is demand for plan o
this kind, and that it will give satisfaction. Wha
say the singers to this plan?

The Rest Return.

The true philosophy of advertising is to get
the best possible returns for the money expend-
ed. The best way to do this is to keep the pub
lie attention constantly attracted to the adver-
tisement. There are advertisements in New
York papers. and papers of other large cities,
which are read by everybody. while other ad-
vertisements in the same papers are only
casually glanced at. Why is this? Because
the advertisers give time and thought and at
tention to their advertisements. and make them
veritable news items of business and trade
People turn naturally to them to see what is
said that is fresh and Interesting about those
| particular lines of business.
The truth is. the advertising columns of q
newspaper should be made as interesting as
the news columns; this requires more attention
than the average advertiser seems disposed to
devote to the important work Exchange

TIE democratic Senators have shown their
willingness to meet the popular desire for more
money by passing Senator Vests free coinage
bill as q substitute for the clumsily constructed
financial bill prepared by the republican SEN
atorial caucus. Now. if the measure is delayed
or defeated in the House. it will be entirely the
fault of the republicans, and If it gets through
the House In spite of the opposition of soeake1
Reed, it will still be in danger of republican
veto at the hands of Mr.. Harrison; at least he
has threatened that he will veto it. but it is
doubted whether he has the nerve to do it. His
threats were probably made in the hope of pre-
venting action upon the bill in the Honse.
