(Hail}) (Democrat, reasons why you should subscribe for
—A lady asked a very silly
Scotch nobleman how it hap-
pened that the Scotch who came
out of their country were, gen-
erally speaking, men of more
ability than th se who remain at
home. “O madam,” said he,
“the reason is obvious. At
every outlet there are persons
stationed to examine all who
pass, that, for the honor of the
country, no one is permitted to
leave who is not a man of under-
standing.” “Then,” said she,
“I suppose your lordship was
smuggled.”

—Texas, to-day, is the coming
State. There are more eager
people seeking its borders for a
permanent home than are going
in all other directions. Itdraws
more emigration than the Black
Hills, and with its varied pro-
ducts, equitable and admirable
laws, splendid opportunities for
business, swarms of cheap cat-
tle, and millions of acres of
cheap and rich lands, Texas is
truly the Mecca of the pioneer.
—Here’s the way a seventh
district paper puts it: “Butler
—House. In this district, No-
vember 8, by the Bev. Mr. Ma-
jority, the ‘Widow’ Benjamin F.
Butler late of Gloucester, in the
sixth congressional district to
Mr. National House of Repre-
sentatives formerly of the Re-
publican party.”—Mass. Ex.

Advertising is commercial science, as

Don’t let editors monopolize public

Don’t let your advertisement get
stale. Variety is the spice oflite.
Doing business without advertising is
like winking at a pretty girl in the dark.
You may know what you are doing,but
no one else does.
LAWYERS SHOULD TAKE IT.
Because it gives graphic accounts of the latest fights, thefts,
murders, and other violations of the law, which will en-
able an energetic lawyer to find a case.
