The Fational Lanner LIGONIER, IND'A, NOV, 27 1873. HINTS TO BUSINESS MEN. Advertising in Dull Times. ¥rom the New York Evoniug Post, The Milwaukee Wisconsin relates the following: “After the crash of ‘57, »;rhen everybody was almost scared to death, and the croakers predicted that the country had gone to smashf a Adry goods hfms:e was opened in this city,

which proceeded on the principle that in order to reach the hoarded money in the pocketé 9§ the people the proQ ~prietors must se{l at very reasonable prices and advertise very largely.— They worked vigorously ' upon this -principle.. Their brother merchants who did not advertise predicted that the mew comers would be ruined, as ; they paid too much for ailw'ert!ising. - Nevertheless they persisted. In a single year they paid $5,000 in gold to the Daily Wisconsin for advertising, and at the end of seven years they retired from business with a fortune of ! 8106,000, w‘hile other merchants on the same street, some of them opposite their store, had failed.” . We remember a similiar instance among ourown advertisers in the pan- | ic of 1857. A merchant continued his advertisement in our columns through the whole period of stagnation, and’_ notwithstanding many predicions that “it' wouldn't pay.” His testimony af- - -terwards was that his sales were steady and his profits satisfactory, while . many a merchant around him who “couldn’t afford to advertise,” saw his clerks stand idle behind the counter. - A financial panie dpes not mean that no one has any money. ' There is plent& of money in the country, and those who hoard it are just the ones to be eager for the “bargains” whicha fall in prices holds out. But to buy they must know where to buy, and the merchant who tells them will re- " ceive their cash. v

OUR LOCAL CORRESPONDENCE. ROME CITY. - EDITOR NATIONAL BANNER: — AS you have correspondents from most other parts of the county, it might perhaps be gjf interest to your r’eaders to occasionly see a squib from Rome City—“the city of Noble county.” It is perhaps . unnecessary to tell you what you already know,, i. e, Rome City occupies the’most beautiful site for a town of any place in Noblo coumn A ﬁ,‘g or any other county in«Northerny Indiana. Rome C‘i‘}y does more business than any town of twice its size in the State of Indiana, and to this assertion we challenge contradiction.— If any one be vain enough to dispute our assertion, we ‘will compare statisties in due time. - : |

- The “Mammoth Hotel,” the pride of pleasure-seekers, is just * about to change hands, the premises having been purchased by Doctor J, Z. Gower and his son “Johny.” The latter is to run the Hotel, while the Doctor takes a general supervision of the matter and in the mean time will as usual attend to the ills of humanity-—of.course charging a reasonable' fee therefore, and for all of which he expects to be paid in due season. The citizens of the town universally regret to lose Clark Haughton, who is necessarily forced to give place to Johny, who is anxious to try his hand at playing landlord. As to the future destinies of Clark we are not posted, but we bespeak for him a deservedly happy future. : o The Hamlin Bros. havedissolved copartnership in the grocery business, Wallace having retired. Hank now runs, the machine alone. Hank is a go-ahead cuss and will “make a spoon or spoil a horn” certain. (iuess he can make a spoon. Our meat market has changed hands, 'Bias Holsinger having sold out to Brothwell & Jemnings. The new firm have reduced the price of meat and aré doing a good business. | We wish them abundant success. The Barber and the Postmaster have been running races on oysters. The barber atthe present writing is ahead ; he sells oysters at 30 cents per half can; the postmaster still keeps them up to 835. Tally one for the barber, .

Doctor Gower has started a drug store in the room formerly occupied by Raby & Son. It is not soextensive as the one owned by Raby & Son on the ‘corner, but it will answer for opposition and competition, which is the spice of life. : . A fearful runaway took, place about * three miles south-west of town last Sunday 2 week. Mr. B. W. Cowley, ‘of Ligonier, was on his way to visit ' his friends in this place, when about three miles from town (on the Springfield road) he ran over the spur of a large stump, which caused him to he thrown from the buggy, leaving his wife and young babe in the ill-fated vehicle. The hofse set off at full speed, and after running about ten - rods, his wife with the child in her arms leaped from the buggy and escaped with but slight bruises. The horse kept the road and came on to town at full speed, and was not found * until next morning about 8 ¢’clock, when it was discovered in the west part of town hanging on the fence, ‘where it had remained over night.— - Mr. Cowley, in reporting the matter, done it thusly: “The harness is a total wreck; the buggy is much worse than the harness, and the mare is worse Bl ieiired g o it seems he considered matters in a pretty bad shape. We learn that the horse is doing well and will unoubtedly recover. S ANV A

The Magnet Woolen Mills have closed. for the season. We learn that it is the intention of the proprietors to increase their facilities by putting in more machinery and commence operations as soon as the weather will warrant in the Spring. Their goods have already become so popular that the manufacturers have been unable to meet their orders the present season. They intend to guard against a like occurrence in the future. The Rome City Woolen Mills are still in operation, but rumor has it that they will close a short time in midwinter, and when they resume business it will be under the supervision of Lewis R. and John C. Hall, Mr. J. ¢, Geisendorff retiring from the firm. Should this rumor prove well founded, we bespeak for the two Mr. Halls sure ‘success, astheir motto is “push things.”

Frank ' Kittell has returned from the “Lone Tree” in Nebraska and is paying his many old acquaintances here a.pleasant visit. . 'Bias Holsinger has been extensively engaged in the poultry ‘business. .He butchers for and ships to New York. Some of our‘bmischievous boys first got into mischief and then into jail.— The boys first took it as a joke, but they don’t seem anxious to repeat it. Our winter term of school, under the management of John C. Swett, assisted by Miss Madison, promises to be a perfect success. John knows how to play pedagogue as well as surveyor. . L - Esq. William Dixon is busily engaged in the manufacture of socks and sending mischievous chaps to jail. Nov. 24. L ALEXIS

ELKHART TOWNSHIP. | - Suxxy Sior, Nov. 24,1873, The Baptist/ meeting of which we made mention in our last came off on Saturday and Sunday, according to previous appointment, Elders Jackson and Thomas officiating. A goodly number of qvisiting brethren were present, which pleased the brethren here very much. Owing to the inclemency of the weather, the attendance was not so large as was desired, but from the deep interest manifested, both on the part of speakers and hearers, we certainly think that all will join in the conclusion that it was “good to be there.” We do not thir}k we ever heard Elder Thomas when he displayed more liberty and feeling than he did on this occasion. In fact both thé Elders were deeply interested in the work before them, and what they said was well said and to the point. We hope our Baptist friends will bear in mind the admonitions of Elder Jackson in regard to the “greeneyed monster.” There was a great deal of truth in them. . :

The sale of Uncle Dick Billman, deceased, passed off on the 14th inst,, and, as had been anticipated, was largely attended. Things generally sold for theiifull value, and in many: instances far bevond. Hay sold as high as fourteen dollars per tomn, in, the stack; an inferior article of corn sold at fifty {cents per bushel, and wheat as high as a dollar and thirtyseven cents per bushel. The “button buster” was, as usual, in high glee and everything passed off charmingly. The widow Billman eéxpects to move to her sister’s, in Lagrange county, soon. We are sorry that Aunt Lydia has concluded to leave us. She is one of our very best neighbors. * "We heed “Observer’s” advice and will war no more. L Tally one for Elkhart. Dav. Probst was presented with a “Singer” sewing machine on the 14th inst; weight 12 pounds. How now, “Dale”? . We say, “bul]y'forf-' Arch. Wilson!” You may be President yet, sir. . : 4 NONLIBET.

-~ WAWAKA. : The helancholy days have come, and mud, and rain, and snow appear. The children hieaway to school this Monday morning, cold and clear. . Theé muses paid me a short visit to'day, but I was too busy to entertain them and they departed with my regrets; : I have become so thoroughly Wawakanized that when a panorama comes. to town -— which is generally a local onedike ddy schools, lectures, law suits or lyceum —1 feel quite animated, like the little chil?ren. : , By the way, Mr| Editor, if your city should receive a visit from some spirit of the age, like Will M. Carleton, Carl Schurz, Mrs. Livermore, or Miss Anna Dickinson, please whisper,in their ear to stop off at Wawaka, and we will lift our hats and lend them our ears. Our school opened last Monday, and the attendance is fearfully large. Mr. Trump, lately from Bellville College, Ohio, is the Prineipal. Miss Ida Jopp is acting as assistant. : A little boy once said he had ciphered through addition, distraction, abomination, justification, amputation; creation, and adoption; and if our boys get to square and cube root, and are justified for good conduct, we shall be hopeful of their future. ! The latest thing out, here, is out of debt; although we heard our Jandlord say, the other day, that his table of interest was running up very fast. I suppose he meant his dinner table.

The ladies of this place talk of organizing an- anti-gossiping society. I do not’know how many will join, but one thing we do know, and that is that every lady of any moral worth and | good principleshould join at once. Let i‘those who.have a nice bible, covered with dust, turn to the 3d chapter of James, sth, 6th, 7th, and Bth verses.— Study it carefully, think of it prayerfully; slight not its Ahistory, think of its mystery. A word to the wise is sufficient, poor Progress included. -Mr. Farrell has sold out his store td Messrs. Kime & Zimmerman, . Mr.F. will return with his family to Goshen in the spring.

. KENDALLVILLE. ‘ Joe seemed to e absent from the BANNER columns of last week, and perhaps to explain the matter we had better tell what he were doing. On | Thursday afternoon we purchased two | return tickets for Ligonier, costing | us $1.90, whieh in the regular way | would have cost s2.4o—a saving of 50 | cents—and jumped aboard the cars for our old home. While on the way we | discussed the question of which side 5 ‘of the river.we should visit first, and | came to the conclusion to go to the | south side. After getting part wayi over, we saw an individual coming who seemed to be in authority and' commanded us to“halt, right about face, march!” We obeyed and did not | stop until we had arrived at the home of Geo. T. Ulmer. We met } there our old friend Mary Beach, with ‘whom eur €ldest boy was once in love, but Mary seems ‘unwinable and “the | .chances are that she will teach school | ‘for some time. to come. On the #iollowing day we took up our -journey for the. other side of the river and passed the beautiful depot I)lxi}(lings, which have added so much to the good ireputation of Ligonier. When arriving in the business part gfifown, we found J. W. Kime and wifeat home and made that point “head-qarters” during;eurivery pleas@ b st ‘hﬂxe place. e VikTted the Tow resitlence of Mr. Stoll and were shown over his splendid edifice, and came to the conclusion that publishing a demoecratic newspaper in Noble county pays. One splendid arrangement is t}xe observatory, which to the Editor must prove very convenient in gathering up local itenis, as it overlooks the whole town. We also became acquainted with a young Mr. ‘Peck, who seems to be a vely promising young man; and An-’ drew Jackson entertained us by exhibiting his pigs. We also learned that Jackson is weigher at/the depot, and I guess he is about thfe only one who gives satisfaction in that-difficult position. Now, to explain wliy we did not come in contact with other old friends, we will have to say that our time was mostly taken up with chess and financial questions which were solved to thesatisfaction of all concerned and ended in a beautiful tableaux which the Forresters did not excel.

Our city authorities have failed to settle the railroad debt. The Mayor has been summoned to meet Gen. Cass at Grand T},'npids upon two. occasions and has failed to fix up the mdtter both timem— Pho-fnt timac tho nﬁsun of the failure was that they wanted the eity to*agree to pay the Julian T. Dayis Judgment in twenty days, which Mr{ Graves objected to, and the last meeting failed because they wanted the city to restrain John Weston from further prosecuting his causes against then). Itis to be hoped that some person will take this matter in hand and settle it just in accordance with Cass’ proposition and not let Andy Ellison interpose any more of his obstacles. .

John R. Smith has been appointed constable in the place of Cyrus Isbell, deceased. Prof. Clark, of Chicago, will deliver six lectures upon Geology, commencing; on Friday evening of 'this week, and continuing every Friday and Saturday evening until the full course is completed. ° Last Saturday was a huge day for merchants in this place. Fach one was trying to undersell his neighbor. A plan has been proposed by Capt. Iddings whieh, if carried out, would secure a large manufacturing establishment in this place. T ~ Of course “Archy” should come in for his share of the oystérs and toasts. Mrs. Ruggles, of this ‘Dlace, gave an entertainment at Mitchell Hall last Saturday evening. It consisted of reading and recitations from some of the best authors. The readings were well received, and, considering the panicky times, were well patronized. Mrs. R, I understand, will visit some of the neighboring towns during the winter and continue the readings. John Mitchell is confined to his room by sickness. : Hon. H. €. Stanley has been a liberal patron of our merchants. He has been adding considerably to his home dur--Ing}the past summer. = . : That renunciation of Eclecticism is a little mixed. It is denied and then again affirmed. JOE.

CROMWELL. ! Our school commenced yesterday with sixty pupils, under the management of Sherman Engle. That is doing pretty well for the first day. - Preaching next Sunday by Rev. 0. W.

David Pollock, our Ft. Wayne peddler Neo. 1, is getting fat. He gained thirty-two pounds in_about six weeks. If he keeps on at “them licks” he will kiek the beam at two hundred in two weeks more. The cause is too much turkey, we presume. He has handled between two and five tons old iron ‘during the short time He ‘has been working for that Ft. Wayne firm. A young man came to the firm of F. D.

“GIYE THE DEVIL HIS DUE.” 4 BY M. Hl. BRYANT. . I sometimes think—and so do you!— That life has little that is true; Not moch of friendship or of love - _ That speaks the life of realms above. And yet, we closely hug the wreck. : As wedded arm the wedded neck, Which proves.ihowever the mind may rue, The heart knows micck of life is true. I sometimes dream—and 8o do you !— | What lies beyond thosge depths of blue? And dreaming thue, we feel that life Must be devoid of every strife; s Yet{.dreaming on; we hesitate : To lift onr hand Jhd ope the gate. ~ Welack in faith, or are tgxiwiq,e To trade for dreams e'en' life that'dies. | At times I'd swear—no doubt you do: - That giddy Fortune favors few, We look on richeg, power and fume, . And say, how brightly life can flame! While deeming them a kindly blaze - Where joy can warm itself with praise: * And yet the highest of the high : By bitterest grief are called to die. And thus I learn —and so must you '~ ; " Each life has all that-is life's due; - Exact proportioned to the sweets, The bitter is that each 'one meets; . And go the night divides the day— Some light, some darkness fSr our clay; * And the’ the day seems gladdest; far, : "Tis night that leaves the gate ajar. | .

GUELDON’S LAST DRINK. I have traveled this road every day of my life, ever since it was laid, in charge of the San Francisco, the prettiest and best engine on the line. It ‘was a south-western road, running, as we will say, from A. to R.- At A. my mother lived, and at Z. I had the sweetest little wife in the world, and a baby the very image of its pa. I had always had a dollar or'two put up for a rainy day, and the boys spoke of me as an odd kind of man. To be shut' up with an engine, watching with all your eyes and, heart and soul, don’t make a conscientious man talkative, and I never squandered my leisure spinning yarns and listening to railway jokes in the round-house, My wife's name was Josephine, and I called her “Joe.” : o I never had belonged to any ofithe’ railway- clubs or other organizations, ‘and never should if it hadn’t been for Granby. Granby was a nephew of our division superintendent, and it’s a failing of us men of the road that we like to be mnoticed by the fellows at headquarters, if only permitted to touch the hem of their garments.— Granby was a showy fellow, and often Tode with me from A.to Z. e hada good opinion of me, and as far as I know we were good friends. One'day he said to me: el :

“You ought to belong to the Railway | Scientific Club, Gueldon.” ‘ l “Never heard of it,” said I. “We meet oncea fortnight,” he replied, “and havea jolly good time. We want practical, thinking men of your sort, and I'll propose you if you like.? I was fond of such things, and I had. ideas that I fancied might be worth something. But the engineer don’t have many nights or days to himself, | and the club would have one evening | a fortnight from Joe. I said: I “I will ask her. If she likes' it, yes.” . A 3 “Ask whom ?” he said. “Joe,” said I. “If every man had asked his! wife, every man’s wife would have said: “Can’t spare you, my dear,” and we -should{ have'no club at all,” said Granby. » *But I made no_mls\m;__A?,].m_ulJﬁ:lf fiﬂﬂ‘g't?éfl'Sh@ said: 5 ““I ghall miss you, Ned; buk you do ‘love s\uch things, and if Granby belongs to it they must surely be superior men.” ; : So I said “yes,” and Granby proposed me. Thursday fortnight 1 went with him to the rooms, The real business of the evening ‘was the supper. I had always been a temperate man. I did not know wat effect wine could have on me, but coming to drink more of it than I had ever before at the club table, I found it put steam on. After so many glasses, I wanted to taﬂ{, and ‘after so many I did. ' I seemed like somebody else, the .words were so ready. My ideas came out and were listened to. I made sharp hits and indulged in repartee, told stories, and even came to puns.'l heard somebody say: “Granby, by George that's a man worth having. 1. thought him dull at first.” Yet I knew: it was better to be quiet like Ned Gueldon, with his ten words an hour, than the wine made wit I was. - I was sure of it when three hours after I stumbled upstairs to find Joe waiting for me, with her baby on her breast. : . AEi

- “You've been deceiving me,” said Joe; “I suspected it, but wasn’t sure. A scierftific club couldn’t smell like a bar-room.” . . “Which means that I do,” said 1. . “And look like one,” said Joe, as she locked herself and baby in the spare bed-room. : . One night I was dressed in my Sunday suit, ready to go back to the club when Joe stood before me. | - . “Ned,” said she, “I never had a fault to find with you before. You've beén kind and good and loving always; but. I should be sorry we ever met if you go in this way. Don’t ask what I mean —you know.” “It’s only club night,” I said. “It will grow,” said she. . Then she put her arms around my neck. o | “Ned,” said she, “do you think a thing so much like a belted and strapped down demon as steam is fit to put in the hands of a drunken man? And some day, mark my words, not only Thursday night, but all the days of the week, you will be the same. T have often heard you wonder-what the feelings of an engineer who has about the same as murdered a train full of people must be, and yow’ll know if you don’t: stop where you are. A steady: hand and a clear head have been your blessing all these years. Don't throw them away. Ned, if you don’t care for my love, don’t ruin yourself.” My little Joe. Shespoke from her heart, and I bent over and kissed her. : “Don’t be afraid,. child; I'll never pain you again.” : - “And I meant it; but atl2 o’clock that night I felt that I had forgotten my promise and my resolution. I couldn’t go home to Joe. I made. up my mind to sleep on the club sofa, and leave the place for good the next day. Already I felt my brain reel as it had never done before. ' In an hour I was in a kind of stupor. It was morning. A waiter stood ready to: brush my coat. I saw a grin on his face. My heart seemed to burst: my hand trembled. I looked at my watch ; I ‘had only five minutes to reach the depot! g .

_ Joe’s.word came t 0 my mind. - Was I fit to take charge of an engine ? I was not fit to answer. I ought to have asked some sober man. ' Ag it was I only caught my hat and rushed away. I was just in time. The San Francisco glistened in the sun, The cars were filling rapidly.— From my post I could hear the people talking—bidding each other good-bye, and promising fo write to come again. Among them was an old gentleman I knew by sight—one of the shareholders. He was biading two timid girls adieu. o “Good-bye, Kittie, good-bye, Lou,” I heard him say: “Don’t be nervous.— The San Francisco is the safest engine on the line, and Gueldon, the

most careful engineer; I woutld not be afraid to trust every mortal to their keeping. Nothing' could happen wrong with the two together.” °~ | ~ I said “we’ll get through it somehow, and Joe shall never talk to-me again. After all, it was easy enough.” I reeled as I spoke. T heard the signal. We areoff. ; Five hours from L. to D., five hours back again. I knew now that on the last run I should be myself again. I saw a flutter, and never knew what it was until we passed the triain at the wrong place. Two minutes more and we should have had a collision. Somebody told me, and I laughed. I heard the shareholder say, respectfully: “Of course, Mr. Gueldon, you know what you are about?” ~ Then I was alone and wondering whether I should go faster or slower. Idid something and the cars rushed on at a fearful rate. !The same man ' who had spoken to me before was ; standing near me. I heai the question: Talr B E “How many miles an hour are we ‘making ?” Ididn’t know. * | Rattle, rattle, rattle! I was trying ‘ now to slacken the speed of the San | Francisco. 1 eould not| remember what I should do—was this or that—faster or slower? I was playing with the engine like a child. | | ; Suddenly there was a horrible roar —a crash. I was flung somewhere. It ~was in the water. By a miracle I was sobered, not hurt. I gained the shore. I stood upon the ground between the track and the water’s edge, and there gazed at my work. ‘ . The engine was in fragments, the cars in-splinters; dead and dying and wounded were strewn ‘around men and women and children, old age and youth. There were groans and shrieks of despair. The maimed c{*e(ri out in pain; the uninjured bewifed their «dead, and a voice,' unheard by any: other, wasin my ear, whispering :“mur~der!”

The news had gope to A., and people came thronging down to find their lost ones. Searching for an old man’s daughter, I came to a place under the trees, and found five bodies lying there, all in their rigid horror—an old woman, a young one, a baby, and two tiny children. Was it funcy—was it pure fancy, born of my anguish?— they look like—oh,heaven! they were my mother, my wife, my children—all cold and dead. _ ' How did they come on the train? What chance had brought this about ? No one could answer. I groaned, I screamed, I clasped my hands, I tore my hair, I gazed on the good face of her who gave me birth, on the lovely, cold face of my wife, on my innocernt children. I called them by name—there was no answer. There never ‘could be—there never would be. A whistle! Great' God! Onward up the track thundered another train! Its red eyes glared upon me; I threw myself before it; I felt it crush me to ‘atoms! iy g :

“His head is extremely hot,” said somebody. I opened my eyes and saw my wife. < | : “How do you feel ?” said she; “a little better ?” - ~ ‘ I was so rejoiced and astonished by the sight of her that I could not speak at first. She repeated the question. '“T must be erushed to pieces,” said I, “for the train went over me, but I feel no pain.”. - ; f . . VeThere he goes about the train . Why, T tried to move—there was fothing the matter with me. I was in my own room ; opposite to .me was a crib in which my child: was asleep. My wife and child were safe. Was [ delirious, or what could it be ? - : .~ “Joe,” T cried, “tell me what has happened ?” : : o - *lt’s 9 olclock,” said Joe. “You came home in such a state from the club that I could not wake you. You wern’t fit to manage steam and risk people’s lives. The San Franucisco is half way to A., I suppose, and you've been frightening me halfto death with vour dreadful talk.” And Joe bégan to cry. | It was only a dream—only an awful dream. DBut I had lived through it as though it were a reality. ’ “Is there a Bible in the house, Joe ?” I asked. ! - “Are we heathens ?” cried Joe. _ “Give it to me this moment, Joe.” She brought it,and I put my hand on it and took the oath (too solemn to bérepeated here)that what had happened never should occur again. And if the San Francisco ever comes to grief, the verdict will not be: “The engineer was drunk.” == -
