Attention Merchants !
A newspaper whose columns
oveflows with advertisements of
business men has more influence
in attracting attention to building
up a town than any other agency
that can be employed. People go
where there is business. Capital
and labor go where there is un
enterprising community. No ,
power on earth is so strong to
build up a town as a newspaper
well patronized, and its power
should ho appeciatod.?T Do Witt
