Thrice. Week Edition.

Read wherever the English language is spoken
The Thrice-a- Week World, now that
a great Presidential campaign is fore
Swallowed, hopes to be a better paper
than it has ever been before, and it
has made its arrangements according
ly. Its news service covers the entire
globe, and it reports every thing fully,
promptly and accurately. 1t is the
only newspaper, not a daily, which is
as good as daily, and which will keep
you as completely informed of what is
happening throughout the world.
The Thrice-a- Week World is fair in
its political reports. You car get the
truth from its columns, whether you
are Republican or Democrat, and that
is what you want.
a special feature of the Thrice "a
Week World has always been its serial
fiction. 1t publishes novels by the best
authors in the world, novels which in
book form sell for 81 80 apiece, and its
high standard in this respect will be
maintained in the future as in the past
The Thrice-a- Week Worlds regular
subscription price is only 81 per year
and this pays for 1876 papers, We offer
this unequalled newspaper and the Ma
rietta Journal together for one year for
$l.75. The regular subscription price
of the two papers is So.

The head of a manufacturing
concern keeps his eyes open to
prevent waste. There must be no
extravaganza in labor, i'll time, in
fuel, in machinery. He looks for
the minimum of cost and the
maximum of profit. 1t is a mat
ter of business and he manages
it along strictly business princi-
pies. How many farmers manage
their farms along business princi-
pies? Too few hereabouts. And
yet farming is as much the farm
er's business as manufacturing is
the business of the other. If the
manufacturer trusted to luck, al
lowed his machinery to lie out of
doors and rust. worked only when
be felt like it failed to keep books
and everything on e dollar-and-
cents basis he would soon find
himself bankrupt. The farmers
should avoid such mistakes, too Il
