New Years Number.

Very dainty and graceful in design is the
cover of The Double New Years Number
of The Youths Companion, in its
shades OF red and brown. Inside We find
a new serial story, entitled "kent Hamp-
den" by that delightful written, Rebecca
Harding Davis, and in addition there
are five short stories, well illustrated,
besides poems and articles of popular in
formation, to suit all tastes and ages.
A notable article by Professor Shaler, of
Harvard University, on the Earth, is the
first in a series of articles on Recent Dis
coveries in Science, to be written by the
most eminent living scientists. Reading
such number as this, it seasy to under
stand why the Companion has gained
the largest circulation of any weekly
paper in the world. All it's stories appeal
in the widest way to human sympathy,
and are calculated to please not only
young beople, but their elders as well.
That such "A paper, so beautifully Illus
trated, and written by the most eminent
of living authors, can be sold for S1.75 a
year, is really marvellous.

One of the best known and most re-
liable of the many excellent and trust
worthy gentlemen engaged in the leaf
topacco trade of this market, is Mr..
VIM. H. Walker. Accompanying a
handsome Christmas card and calendar
which he sent out to his friends and
patrons, was the following circular
HENDERSON, n. c., Jan. l, '91.
DEAR SIR:-After four months of
heavy sales of leaf tobacco drawn from
the States of North Carolina, South
Carolina and Virginia, we feel that a
fair conclusion may be drawn as to the
true character of the 1890 crop, both
regarding what has been sold and that
remaining in the hands of farmers.
The first six weeks Of our offering
showed average per cent. of lemon col
ored wrappers and cutters, since which
time there has been gradual falling
off of these grades, until now it is rather
an exception to find either in the breaks,
except in very limited quantities, which
have sold at reasonable prices.
Regarding mahogany wrappers will
say the better grades have been scarce
through the season, especially what is
known in the trade as ''Star" type,
also the smooth, rich dark grade. Com
mon mahoganies have been fairly ab',n-
dant. While prices have not ruled
high on wrappers, there has been
healthy demand all the season for them.
Smooth, waxy filters are not album
dant, and have met with an active
market at all times, and the lower
grades have also taken readily.
Light bodied colory smokers have
been taken rlore freely this year than
usual by the utter buyers to be used in
cigarettes, hence the usual supply OF
these carried by spectators to be sold
as granulators will be cut down.
From the foregoing report there is
naturally very great disappointment
in the crop as to the quality, as it is an
average crop in pounds, but generally
of nondescript character, and regard
ing what is now held by planters, we
think fully IS per cent. of lemon color
has been sold, and the average in gen.
eral character.
Returning thanks to my friends for
their past favors during the past
twelve years, and with better facilities
than ever for conducting the leaf to-
bacco brokerage business. l trust to
merit continuous patronage from my
present customers and hope to be given
a trial by others.
Respectfully.
WIN. II. WALKER.

Advertising Necessary to Bust
ness,

A Thoroughly intelligent business man
understands that iudicious advertising
pays, and he proves his faith in it by
constantly keeping his name before the
public; and when we allude to .judicious
advertising we do not mean the bulle-
tin board, the card board and num-
erous other expedlents, all the same
as far as their benefits go, which in the
beginning, and in the end, only pay
the agent who gets them up; and which
rather reflect upon the good sense of
the man who pays for them.
What we mean by judicious adver-
tisement is one carefully written and
tastefully displayed in the columns of
your home paper. First your home
paper, because that necessarily circu-
lates among the largest number of peo-
pie who are accessible to your business,
and who are expected to and do trade
with you. Your home paper will not
only carry your advertisements to the
largest number of people who are &C
cessible to your place of business, but
it is laboring all the time to attract
people to your town, and to build it up
and increase it's commercial and finan-
cial Importance.
That judicious advertising pays is
fact recognized and admitted all over
the commercial world. It is fact so
apparent that men today are receiving
salaries ranging from five to ten thou
sand dollars per annum for simply
writing attractive advertisements. But
judicious advertising is not jumping
away beyond your home territory, and
reaching out among papers that mostly
circulate among people who never visit
your town and who perhaps never trade
with you, to the neglect of your home
papers. 1t is not an unusual thing to
hear men who follow this course say
that advertising does not pay. Such a
course is about on par with the man
who Eliminates his yard in the night
and leaves his house dark. to the incon-
venience of himself and family.
Light up your dwelling first and then
let your light shine out as far as it will.
You would think very strange of
newspaper that should advocate the
merits of other towns to the neglect of
its own, and yet you go out and freely
spend your money in other papers to
the neglect of your bone papers.
The town that succeeds, literally
patronizes its home papers, because it
is your home papers that build up your
town and their strength is measured by
your support.
There is not business in this town,
nor is there profession that would not
be materially helped by an advertise
ment in one Of our local papers. From
one customer, one client. or one patient
you may realize sufficient to pay for a
years advertising.
An advertisement is the golden car
of progress, rushing like fash oflight,
attracting attention wherever it goes.
1t is the orator pleading in irresistible
tones swaying head and heart at will.
The business that is not advertised
is moving along at the rate of cart,
pulled by a sluggish OK. 1t may ''get
there" but it will be when the feet
grow feeble and the hair turns gray.
Life is too short; you cannot afford to
travel by the slower conveyance

There is more Catarrh in this section of
the country than all other diseases put to-
gether, and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable. For great
many years doctors pronounced it a local
disease, and prescribed local remedies, and
by constantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incurable. Sci
ence has proven Catarrh to be a cOnstitu-
tional disease, and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh

About Printers Ink.

This is the day Of printers ink, and
the prizes are for those who use it.
Your traditions and prejudices may be
to the contrary, but the world doesn't
care a fig for them. The man who sits
and waits for his trade in these days
gets left. Don't advertise, don't quote
your price lists, don't see that your
city or your business is represented in
patronizing territory, and don't stand
up manfully alongside of those who are
fighting for your rights and interests,
and there can be but one result-shriv-
cling up. Good statesmen, first class
articles, gilt edged credit are not enough.
They are excellent, necessary-but not
enough. Printers ink beats them in
the long run. Uncle Sans mails go
every day, carrying their freight of
special offers, new crops, long credits,
cash discounts, job lots and lovers tales
from everywhere. And in the end
your trade is seduced. It's the world
old story Of the honeyed tonge and the
open ear. In the fierce competition of
these days old habits and associations
simply cannot stand the pressure. The
trade is for the man who uses printers
