exceedingly fatal, much alarm exists
among farmers and horse owners gener.

the most valuable and attractive places

Henrietta Stewart, of Washington, D. c.,

shape of buildings, walks, drives, and

Although the Alexandria Gazette is IN
its seth year there is nothing decrepId or
feeble about it, While we may not
agree with it in everything we do not
hesitate to say it is one of the livest,
brightest and most brainy papers to be
found in uewspaperdom. 1t always says
Just exactly what it means and always
means just exactly what 1t says. You
never find it giving forth an uncertain
sound on any subjsct, aud it will be
another century before you will, and
then you went. We hope it will live
and prosper for hundreds of years
to come. The failure of its regular yisl Is
would slip the eogs Of creation for lots
of people.

An exchange says that single page in
single issue Of the Century magazine
taken for advertising costs $500; Hsr
psr's $500; and other magazines 500 to
$3.50. A yearly advertisement of one
column in the Chicago Tribune costs
$25, $50 for the lowest aud 81 900 for the
highest priced columns. These hgu res
probably sstOnish some of our business
men. who spend from S. to 25 a year IN
advertising and think they are euriching
the newspaper man. Does it pay to ad
vsrtisei 1t Is evident from the above
figures that it does, for shrewd business
men do net invest thousands Of dollars
in this way for fun.
