A tew wceli.s a;o this cotincil passed a resolution npproiniat i 1 1 $a(lil for the purpose of aihertisini; tliis city's advantages and re sources. It is to he hooed 11, at the council desires that the city shall Ih- properly advertised. This aikl, if rightfully expended, will no loiiht ,' a paying investmenl. Hut having done liiis, it seems In me in coiisisieni that the same coi n -il tlioilld take the 'hid' sylein and make it its policy in regard to the I'ity print inv;, and I will In ielly f.',i e J on my reasons. In tin first place tile law allows only one-fourth of the price for priiitiny city advertisements that it does for general lee,al ailvertise iiirnts. This rate for city adver tisements is so hnv that no legiti mate newspaper can (ifford to print the advertisements for less and ft ill make a fair and teasoualile profit. In fact our town merchant.-! would not tie admitted into either The Journal's or Tin: Hekw.ii's columns a advertisers af tin-rates that i'lt- contained in the bids here tonight in i e-ard to the city's ad ,vertisin j-. In addition I want to call vour at teiitian to the fact that mil one In fun-vr li;is iisb.-ti i. ftmiifil tn "( c ;rn ,-i,)rs tn in tin's u nrk ut Inn than the Jcul nut: In ree-ard to the newspapers I de firii, to call ; n,ir attention to the lact in the :ir-t place lo what Mr. Sherman and his Journal lias al ready done lor th; town in Hie vvav of advertising it and lor ' . li hi lias nut u-ci ived one cent ol remiin elatioii.

At t!n-' point !r. Sleimker, vv ho li.nl kept In- in, mill i-l, lit lor a longer period that at any other one time during a session of the coun cil since he has hecn a mrnil'i-r, arose and interrupted the speaker with an i,!i'i turn. 11c saiil' vve can settle tins without heariue trom outsiders. We do not want lo listen to any plea in favor ol Sherman and The Journal " Thespcakcr informed the mouthy councilman that other newspapers would receive attciri ion if he would only have patience. Hut the facts which wen heiny pre sented were distasteful to the man who t'l.A 1 MS "to he here in the inter est of the people" and he would not desist from his objection. Mr. Hutlcr then called his attention to the fact that if he was imposed to h'-.-i the l.i:--:e '! tl:a; ihe f::..- to liav a.-.' -: , v.-.. - .vl.i'ii 1 1:-- THAT a-k.-d.

Some days nyo Till- llKk'ALU was Convetsinn; with a ITatt.-mouth merchant in regard to advertising and he replied; "Kverybody knows me and there is little use in ;idver-ti.-iii"' in ihe dull season, anywav." So in my merchants take this same, but very-erroneous view, that Till-; Hl-:hr.U.l feels justified in niviur this little bit of historv. Till- II i-K'U.i) called this particu lar merchant's attention to the fact thai Joe, the clothier, (who is the largest advertiser in riattsiiiouth) kept his bin- aeverliseincnt in Till-; IIlTv'Ai.H and The Journal ilurin all the time that he was out of busi ness entirely the time between the lire and the opennint;-. "Yes," re plied the merchant, "I noticed this, but I cannot see how it paid him to do so." To which Tin IlKK'Al.n replied that it was not responsible for what men could not see, but the fact re niained that it did pay, and had been so demonstrated by the larye crowd at Joe's openine,' and it would yet be more fully demonstrated. Thi lias pro'-en true. At the time of the lire Joe said to his advertis ing inaiianer, "ordi r out the adj v ertiseiuenls in the papers until we jiclj started aain". Tne inauaner objected and stated his reason, aud-ii)n-that unless result- verified his judgment Joe would not longer bl under obligation to accept his de cisions in ren.ird to such matters. The i loihicr said "all ri-lit," and the sp.n e vv,.s retain -d in Till-; IIl-.K'-AI.D and The Journal. Saturday evening' ill the close of l usiue-s Joe said to his ad vert isinn- manager, "you were rii;ht." and an invest i;a t ion of t he cash book .-bowed that the receipts by a very 'are-c amount were in excess of the expectation of the men hunt clothier. lie was more than satisfied with the results. Never a', lin will he doubt that it pays to do t he riu lit kind of adver tisinn at AIT. seasons, and by any business man, however well he may be known, and Joe is about as well known as any of die ( ass county merchants. However, in order to make adver tisiue, a success, the merchant must keep first class noods, treat his cus toiners squarely and never make a misrepresentation in regard to j'oods. The newspaper takes the customer- to the door, ti e nier chant must do the rest. For line confectionery. I.t-htihotf Hros.' take the lead. FnK Saus ok Tkape A desirable lot in i'lattstnouth.
