1t is not my intention to cast
reflections upon the present
assessor, for this injustice has
been going on for years, and
he is not responsible for the
condition of the valuations as
they appear on the records at
Wilkes-Barre any more than |
am, but one thing is certain,
and that IS, as long as the old
books are taken for a guide
the back streets and alleys will
be assessed out of all proper
tion. To do justice between
man and man, in the matter of
valuation, it would require a
radical change, and any per-

lesitation to the first who asks.

hesitation to the first who asks.
Then, in the country, a considerable
number of persons who wish an article
advertised and do know any particular
place where it is to be got, being thus
furnished with the address of dealer
who can supply them, naturally opens
communication with that address which
perhaps leads to much ulterior business.
People in the country are also liable to
be fayorably impressed by the frequent
sight of a name in the newspapers. The
advertising party acquires distinction in
their eyes, and thus they are led, in
making a choice, to prefer him.
But by far the most important effect
of advertising is one of an indirect
nature. 1t conveys an intimaton that
the party-pretending or not pretending,
quackish or not quackish-is anxious for
business. One who is anxious for bust
ness is unayoidably expected to be an
industrious, attentive, civil person who
keeps the best articles at the lowest
rates, does everything in the neatest
and most tradesmanlike manner, and in
a general way uses every expedient to
crafty and attach customers. People
like to purchase under such circum-
stances, and the system of advertising
assuring them that such circumstances
exist at this particular shop, they select it
accordingly.
Such is the opinions of the old trades
man alluded to, and they are certainly
supported by facts, for wherever an ex-
tensive and regular system of advertis-
ing is practiced, and no backdrawing or
unconquerable circumstances exist, it is
usually seen to be attended with con-
siderable share of success. One feature
of the philosophy of the subject must be
carefully attended to. A faint and in
frequent system Of advertising does not
succeed, not even in proportion Drink
deep, or taste not the Pierian spring."

The Rationale of Advertising.

from Press and Printer.
Advertising is an expedient for OBJ
tanning business. Many business men
are deferred from using this expedient
because of the expense; some have no
faith in its efficacy; and few think il a
mark of second-rate status in business
and therefore more apt to be iniurious
than otherwise. On the other hand
some make a system of placing an ad-
yertisment in every kind of a sheet that
comes along, from the daily to the
"show" programme, never losing an op-
portunity to inform the public how anx-
ious they are to serve it. Yet the
trader evidently finds them seryicable.
1t may be worth while to communi-
cate to young tradesmen the ideas of an
old one on the subject. The first utility
of frequent and regular advertising con-
sists in this: there is at all times con-
siderable class of persons, whether
in country or town, that has no fixed
place for the purchase of necessary arti-
cles, and are ready to be swayed and
drawn towards any particular place that
is brought persistently to their notice.
Indifferent to all, they yield without

PICKED UP BY THE WAY.
THINGS SEEN AND HEARD IN THE
TOWN AND VICINITY.

Matters of "A Local Nature Written Up
and Placed Before the Readers of the
"Tribune' by the rer-Something
Here May Interest You.
The tremendous waste of coal
that was allowed by operators
IN this region fifteen or twenty
years ago can be noticed by
any one who takes the trouble
to examine the old Woodside
slate bank, which has been
burning now for several
months. Since 1889 a number
OF families of town procured
their supply of coal from this
bank, and in winter or summer
the picking went on unceasing-
ly. Several times during this
period the bank was turned
over" by the industrious pick
ers, and it was believed by
many that all the coal that
was dumped on it must have
been carried away. One is
now compelled to think other
wise if a visit is made to the
bank. The entire mass is burn
ing, and from the flames that
appear at night it can be seen
that the fire is fed upon the
very best of coal.
When the bank first began
to burn the odor from the
smoke was almost intolerable,
but according as the fire CON
sumes the top and goes deeper
1t causes less annoyance and
gives forth great heat. That
there is still an immense guam
tity of coal there to be burned
is certain, but it is too late to
save it and the bank will have
to burn itself out. Its destruc-
tion is hard blow to many
persons, as it means increased
coal bills for them in the fu-
ture. 1t is doubtful if some of
the heaps that have been put
at the breakers during the past
few years would burn at all.
They are so thoroughly clean
ed of everything that looks
like coal that a fire could not
make much headway with
them, unless it would exist on
rock and pure slate. This is
due to the improved methods
the operators have adopted in
preparing coal for the market.
About the most important
thing that is needed in Free
land borough at the present
day is to have it's residents, es-
pecially the property owners,
turn their attention to a Just
and proportionate valuation of
all property within the bor-
ough limits. This is something
that has been utterly neglect
ed, as any person who consid-
cred himself imposed upon as
a rule went to the proper off
Ger and stated his grievance,
and sometimes had it abated,
but in most cases, whether the
valuation was just or unjust,
the assessment remained the
same. | always understood
that location and improve
ments were two very signifi-
cants points in the valuation
of property, and if such is the
case, Freeland must be a town
of an unusual kind, as much
of the best location and valu-
able property is on the out
skirts.
A new assessment would not
likely give any more satisfac-
ton to some people than the
present one, but any person
who is impartial and has look
ed over the records will not
dispute the necessity of it, no
matter who are willing and
ready to prevent justice from
beng done. In every com
munity there is small num-
Der to be found who always
want the earth, providing that
some one else will pay for it,
and Freeland is not without
its share of such persons. 1t
is not to be wondered at that
the borough finances are in

This is the last week of Dr. Williams visit to Phoenix, as he expects to leave for his home in California Sunday evening, December 23rd, so as to be at home with his family on Christmas, pleasure he has never neglected for the past twenty five years.
