We purposely inverted two let
tiers in Friedman & Co.'S, adver-
tisement yesterday. to see how
many people would notice the
mistakes" and to prove also that
advertisements in newspapers were
closely scanned, by the general pub
lie. Imagine our surprise, at the
number of people, and even school
children, who called our attention
to the two upside down letters in
Friedman's advertisement" as they
termed it. Not less than fifty peo-
pie including the children called
our attention to the wrong letters
yesterday. and FIVE postal cards
found their way into our post of
fee box, calling attention to the
mistakes" Lord knows how
many will discover the mistakes to-
day and inform us of it. Now if
you want to see if your advertise
ment is read by the public, just
purposely make some apparent
mistakes in it, and you will hear
from it.

Apples by the wagon load are be-
ing forded across the river at Volts

They are very ugly looking rapids,

Ws LII &c parLies SIC mad


We think the parties who made
complaint to a reporter of the Char
leston Gazette, about the treat
ment received By the K & n Of
fciaIs. on account of the wreck
last Friday night, this side Of
SFaggsner Station, which delayed
the south bound passenger train
several hours, is both untruthful
and unjust. In the first place
they were not laid out in a corn
field for seven hours, but we're
not more than hundred yards
from the depot. and inside the
town limits They knew how long
they would be delayed, and the
opportunity was given TO the pas
sengers ON the south bound to go
back to the depot and into the
town if they desired, and they
would be informed in plenty of
time to return to the train. Genl-
Manager Ferris refused none of
their requests, except. the transfer
which at that time was anAimpossi-
billy. for want of car room, and.
besides no way of turning the train
or engine. and it was not deemed
safe to back the passenger train all
the veg up to Charleston. IF they
had no accommodations, and were
hungry, it was the fault of the
passengers, and not of the officials
of the K. & NJ. The Ohio River
Railroad Eating Parlors and our
hotels would have accommodated
them, if they had SO requested.
1t was about supper time when the
wreck occurred. Besides no one
had to walk into town unless he
desired to do SO, as the cebs were
there to haul those who wanted to
come into town.
