Otoe county is enjoying a siege of

The advertising columns of a news
paper always denote the prosperity of
the town in which it is printed.
It is the business of a newspaper to
gather the news and present it to the
reading public. If each individual
had the time to gather the news of
the day for himself, there would be no
necessity for newspapers. The same
general principle applies to advertis
ing as to current events. If the indi
vidual had the time to visit all the
stores and find out what they have on
sale there would be no necessity for
advertising. A great many goods are
sold simply by having public attention
called to them. The merchant who
grasps the situation and pushes bis
business will sell his goods and win out
