Merchants desirous of having the public know that they have bargains to offer, in their various lines, should observe that the circulation of the REPUBLICAN is conspiciously displayed at the top of the editorial column. Compare this with others, if you have an opportunity of so doing, then judge for yourselves which medium can give you the best service for the money invested. Some business men think an ad. in one paper is just as beneficial as it is in another, regardless of circulation, or^ else they are too willing to .risk the publishers assertion, as to number of circulation then if the results are not satisfactory, they condemn all newspaper advertising as profitless to them. Look well to your medium, be as discreet in t.frfa as in other lines of your business and you will not be imposed upon.

drinks. Now, if you must drink,
buy a gallon and make your wife the barkeeper. When you are dry give her 15 cents for a drink, an^. when the whisky is gone She will have, after paying for it, '$6.75 left, and every gallon thereafter will yield the same profit. This mortey she should put away,jio that when you have become an inebriate, unable to support y^i«el|ui9afa9m6d byevery respectable

GEORGE SANDEKS, HENRY SANDERS,
Clarcnce A, Hough as an Elocutionist.
But what shall I say of Mr. Clarence A' Hough, the humorist? In his conscientious interpretation, his clever mimicry, his rapid changes from grave to gay, his easy transitions from dialect to dialect, and in his happy choice of presentations, he was indescrably pleasing even in Lexington where good elocutionists are quite as a matter of course. He gave some six or eight pieces, all of th*m beyond criticism. His old time, whang-doodle-harp-of-a-tkousand-strings backwoods sermon on "Faith, Hope and Charity," with "Old Mother Hubbard" fer his text, was quite as side-splitting as his caricature of the western graduate of a "Bosting" vocal school. The applause was deafening, maddening, uproarious. Mr. Hough is the funniest funny man we have ever heard here, or in fact anywhere. The entertainment was an hour of delight, and all went away with the echoes of laugh and sigh and happiness and sympathy and all the ennobling amotions linger in memory.
Tliompson-Seltz Wedding
Mr. John W. Thompson formerly of this city but now of Indianapoiis and Miss Lena Seitz of Columbus Ind. was united in marrige on Wednesday evening Nov. 25 at the residence of the bride's sister Mrs. Henry Keller at No. 403 Fletcher ave. They were the recipients of a great many useful as well as decorative presents and had the pleasure of spending Thanksgiving at the home of his mother on West Main street this city. They returned to the Capital on Friday to reside in their ready furnished cottage at No. 151 North State street where they will be at home to their many friends. May peace and happiness crown their future life.
