Itidoes not pay to advertise say some
merchants.who have done but little of
it and that without keeping it up. The
incident Of the boy and the pump illus
trates the matter very well. The boy
was sent after pail of water He
poured in the printing and poured out
as much as he poured in. Then he
stopped to rest and the printing ran
down. After some time of alternate
pumping and resting he concluded it
did not pay to pump and quit in disgust.
The merchant who docs not believe in
advertising does it like the boy did the
pumping. He advertised few weeks,
then stopped while and allowed the
people to forget him and his business
before he advertised again and then
concluded advertising didn't pay.
Last Saturday night gang of DRINKS
cOngregated in one of the saloons of
Oakland where trouble was started.
Later the proprietor Of the place fired
them and they then met on the tracks
of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company near the water station where
the trouble was renewed and free-for-
all fight ensued in which ballast was
used in lieu of more effective weapons.
The noise became so great that passers-
by on Oak street noticed it and Sheriff
Brown was notified. He hurriedly
dressed and went to the track where he
succeeded in arresting four of the dozen
or more men engaged in the conflict,
the rest departing by various WAYS.
