ssMale" always had preference for sorre
horses. as older Woodburians familiar will
Mr.. Newton's original horse experience
will recall Mr.. Newton always contende(
that sorrels were more gentle than horses o
any other color, and more readily yielded
to kindness. We hope Mr.. Ms faith il

"A good many people are signing peti
tions for the Introduction Of free mail de
livery in Woodbury., and indications art
that soon it will be established. In tina
event people must elect if they will hav'
the new service or continue the old. 1t j
altogether probable that business people
will continue the old service, while TIN
purely resident portion will have thei
mail delivered twice a day by carrier
Under the delivery system some slight
changes will occur. Drop letters will re
quire two cent stamp instead OF one cent
and local newspapers will pay little extr;
for the delivery of their papers. 1t il
probable that the new system will be of M
advantage to the business people OF th'
town, but to those whose needs will b.
met by two mails day, the system will b.
a great convenience.
The value of advertising was pernap
never better illustrated than during tn
mast two weeks. Public sales were held il
adjoining farms, not Tar from Woodbury.
at the first, which was advertised by pos
tiers only, the attendance was small ant
corn sold at 56 cents, hay at So, crab gras
at 81. A few days thereafter, the second
sale was held. The attendance was large
hay brought $13, crab grass S., corn g.
cents; cows an average Of $50 The latte
sale was advertised in the DEMOCRAT ant
Constitution. The difference obtained il
the price of single ton of hay or crab grass
ora few bushels OF corn, would have pail
for properly advertising the former sale, ant
the owner would have had nice margin
The result of experience is, that it pays t
let the people know, three things: When
Where and What you have for sale. Yol
can tell 5000 persons these facts by usin
the columns of the GLOUCESTER COUNT
DEMOCRAT.
