The Hon. Joseph II. Marley makes this
sensible comment on the report sent
out from New York that there is a dis
position on the part of Republicans to
nominate Lincoln and Grant for Presi.
dent and Vice Presidents:
" If the party is to nominate a ticket
because of names and of sentiment. I dc
not see why it should not. be entirely
consistent, and renominate the entire
old ticket, and why they should choose
the ticket of Lincoln and Grant, when q
ticket of Lincoln and Hamlin with
equally good right could be nominated
Those who are talking about ticket on
the basis of memories and of the names
of the fathers of the candidates forget
that Vice President Hamlin left a son
who came out of the war as a full
fedged Brigadier General after q
brilliant record in the war. Gen, Ham
lin is man of ability, of character, a
prominent practitioner at the Bar in
Maine and the Reporter of the Decisions
of the Supreme Court of Maine. He is
in every respect worthy descendant OF
his father, and, if the old ticket is to he
nominated, it seems to me it ought tc
be the old ticket entire, and LEFT If he
Lincoln and Hamlin.
We may be certain that Mr.. Manley
has no sympathy with the nomination Of
anybody out of mere sentiment, though
if that is to prevail his suggestion is al.
together an improvement over the one
he comments on.

OF course you have heard Of Marion
County, Arkansas. You have heard that
it sent TO the Worlds Fair at Chicago the
largest piece of zinc ore the world had
ever seen, weighing II, 800 lbs. You do
not know perhaps that the mine from
which it was taken was sold five years ago
for 800, and can not be bought to day
for 5000, 900, although it is rs miles from
a railroad, you do not know perhaps
that there are many other zinc mines IN
Marion county, now worth from $5,OuO
to $50, 900 that could have been bought
for from $40 TO $50 per acre, In an unde-
veloped state. You do not know, perhaps
that there has never been shaft sunk to
depth of 80 feet anywhere in this county
without striking rich lead, zinc, copper or
marble. You 90 not know that experts
believe that paying ore can be found in
any part of the county by sinking shaft
from 20 to 200 feet deep. You do know
that capitalists have bought up most OF
the zinc land and stand ready to buy the
remainder as soon as a railroad is started
toward this county. You do not know
that such a road will be started this year,
and that mining lands will go out of sight
| as soon as the road is started. II you are
wise you will get at least one acre OF this
| land before 1t is too late. When the road
comes you eau either sink shaft on it,
lease 1t, or sell il, and make from 100 to
! 10, 900 per cent on your investment. l
have 1900 mineral lots of one acre each,
| will sell 800, every third lot, this year
at about what the land is worth for fruit,
$l5, IS down and So each month until
paid. The lots all lie in the very heart OF
the mineral district of Marion county, are
all alike as all are within half mile OF
zinc openings. Next year expect to sell
800 more lots at $50 per acre, and by the
year after expect at least one railroad
completed to this place when the last 300
will bring at least 800 each.

The Local Paner.


Speaking of the value of the "local
paper" as an advertising medium, Charles
Austin Bates, in Trade Magizine, Phil
adelphia, Pa, says
There is no printed thing which is so
close to the heart of the community as the
local paper. The pulse of local life beats
in its every issue. An epitome of the
worlds news glows in its bright pages,
and the business news of the local stores
should be in it. too should be there, rot
ITO help the paper along; " not because
''the editor is nice fellow aud we want
to encourage him; !" not for any reason
except the one great, shrewd, business
reason-that it will pay.
If merchant will take care of his
space, change his copy, keep it fresh and
put interesting matter in it, it will be read
as assiduously and as regularly as the
spiciest bit of gossip. As it gets readers
so will the dealer get customers.
Aggressiveness and confidence are es-
sential In advertising. Timid men do not
succeed. It's the fellow who goes straight
ahead, full of self.confldence, forceful,
bound to make his point that's the man
whose business thrives and fiourishes.
Let his advertisements breathe of hon
esty and truth. Let every statement be
exactly fuct-no more, no less-but
rather let him understate the goodness OF
his wares than overstate them. Above
all put news in the "ads.n
The publisher will probably charge for
the cost of setting up new lad every
week, which is perfectly right. 1t is
worth all it costs. Rates in country pa
pers are much too low in almost every
case, even for standing card.
Let the merchants wake up, and the
publisher will meet them more than half
way. 1t is wonderful hnw much good a
little confidence and enthusiasm will do.
do not care what town il is, intelligent
advertising in the local paper will pay.
II you haven't time, or if you haven't
the knack to write your own announce
ments fresh every week, better hire some
body to do it, There are hundred or
more "business writer's in the country
now, some better than others, but every
one of them capable produeingan lad. !"
that would be better than the same old
thing repeated everlastingly. The editor
of the paper will often do it gratuit0usly.
Give just as much attention to your
advertising in dull times as you do when
business is booming. A farmer doesn't
do his planting carelessly just because
harvest time is long way off.
Advertising is business seed, and one
of the most fertile fields to plant it in is
the local paper. Put 1t there, water it,
keep down the weeds, and it will bring
forth fruit every time.
Properly tended, advertising is as Ger.
tain to bring good crop of business as
prime seed wheat is to grow into good
grain
