In all places where newspaper is
published, every business man ought
to subscribe for, and advertise in it,
even if his advertisement be nothing
more than a business card, stating his
name and the line of business in which
he is engaged. 1t helps to sustain the
paper, and lets people at distance
know that the town is full of business |
men The paper finds its way into
thousands of places where a handbill
cannot reach. A card is a travelling
signboard, and can be seen by every
reader.
Owing to the storm and continued
bad weather, the Fair has been post
poned till Tuesday, Wednesday and
Thursday of next week. The exhibits
surpasscs all previous efforts. The
main building, especially the ladies de-
partment, is filled to overfiowing and
beautifully arranged. THAT of itself
is we'll worth 4 visit TO the Fair. The
farmers display is large and very inter
esting, excelling all previous efforts.
Every pen and stall is filled with the
finest stock. Come next week, you'll
enjoy it.
Never desert friend. When enc
mics gather around, when sickness
falls on the heart, when the world is
dark and cherries is the time to try
true friendship. The heart that has
been touched will redoub1e its effort
when the friend is sad or in trouble.
Adversely tries true friendship. They
who turn from the scene of distress
betray their hypocrisy, and prove
that interest only moves them. If you
have friend who loves you-who has
studied your interest and happiness be
sure to sustain him in adversely. Let
him feel that his former kindness is
appreciated, and that his love was not
thrown away.
