Strike a Popular Chord. A striking advertisement will ntn the | gamut of iiopiiiar attention and get into the air like a popular song. Advertise ments have become as familiar as bouse hold words, and remained advertise ments long after they bad disappeared | from newspaper columns and from ad- ; vertising bill boards. Who will ever j forget the mystic “S. T. 1860 X'/" It can ’ no longer be seen in print, nor upon bill- : boards, but the name of the coinprand J it advertised comes to mind with the ^ legend, and the advertisement is as bright as it was twenty-five years ago. “You j press the button. We do the rest!” It is hardly necessary to state what those words advertise. They have been so j widely read and are so taking and so • suggestive of ability that everybody ; knows what they refer to.—Milwaukee Wisconsin. Not Quackery bin Humanity. The Chicago Trilmu \ in commenting on Dr. Briukerhoff’s case, says pertinent ly and forcibly: “The purpose of an advertisement is to bring those who want somtthing in contact with those who have that something to dispose of. The I physician's advertisement would answer the game purpose. The ]>atient wants to be healed. Tile advertisemt :it would I acquaint him with the doctor who could heal him, and who had the skill to deal with ids special ease. This is not puffery or quackery. On the other hand, it looks very much like humanity.” N OTICE is hereby given partnership, lately exi that the sting be tween 'Julius D. Haynsworth and Geonn-M.

A GOOD INSTITUTION. The business men of Darling ton have made a right move in the matter of protecting them selves against “bad debts.” We are only surprised that this step was not taken long ago, for it simply means self preservation. Many a merchant has been pushed to the wall, because of and hurled down a steep em-l bnnkment. Twenty-six persons were injured of whom three may die. Hon. Preston B. Plumb, Uni- ln ted States Senator from Kansas, died suddenly in Washington, on Sunday, from aponlexv. It is probable that Kv-Senator Ir.- galls will succeed him.

Advertising is an ancient and honor able institution, and was practiced 1 mg cr ago than a great many people im agiue.
