Ii is n mistaken idea that an advertisement
can find its way into ft newspaper
and not bo read, no mailer how
obscure the nook or corner in which it
may bo stuck. Talk to some people
about advertising and tho reply is
"pooh! pooh! nobody reads advertisements;
hut one beat in* the above, or
I
similar, heading found its way into a
good mar.y papers lately and has been
read by a lew too many lor t heir good,
even in the un loading un-adveriising

Tt. is a littlo strange that people ol
common sense should conclude in this
mercenary ago that any individual,
! much less a company ol num. should
; becoine conscience stricken because ol
1 their super-abundance ol riches, ami
tearing they had too much to evet
enter the Kingdom of Heaven, should
advertise to give away their valtihbb
property so as to narrow down theii
souls lo a lit dimension to meet the
I requirements ol the narrow gale.
I Some of our citizens, grasping am'

the Ohio, Kentucky ami Texas Lam
Company's advertisements ol "Mineral

they would ant the p:\'t ol tlx

neighbors by taking oil'a portion o
I heir burdensome wealth. They slrucl
lor the "Little JJ/nma bonanza bj

Wo have no sympathy for those

Those ))s?88HjseM illustrate the spirit
and finish ol the work butter than wo
could by our Uriel' comments.
The work is adorned with protraits
of all the prmeipttl men in our history,
topographioal^j^igramrt showim/ tin*
vicinity ot all important battles, maps ^
illustrating llic condition ol the country
iVoid time to time, and chronological
chart a which show at a glance the
connection ot cotemporaiy men and
events. It is elegantly printed on
line calendered paper and handsomely
and substantially bound. The publishers
have, in lite make-up ot the
book, illustrated the pet lection to
which '.he art ot book making has attained.
Altogether an exceedingly
able and valuable work, it should bo
read and studied by every citizen who
would be inlormed ol tiie history and
greatness ot his country and ins duty
towards it.
