Major Bitters Waxes Bitterer. Rochester Republican. Except the average'Country doctor there is no professional man who loses more by the credit system than a publisher of a newspaper at a county seat. Every day, every week, every month and every year adds to the list of losses, and we can safely estimate that the amount this office has earned during the past sixteen years, that we neyer hope to get a penny for, would be sufficient to purchase j a fine brick residence. And in this we do not take into account the gratuitous advertising for churches and societies: But the scriptures advise persons to lay up their treasures in heaven where moth and rust doth not corrupt and thieves break through and steal. There is but little of a printer’s wealth that gets a chance to i ust and a less amount that is worth purloining, but if we shall be permitted to enjoy in the spirit I world what we fail to collect in ‘ this we will have enough to divide i with the less fortunate. — i The best and surest dye to color the • beard brown or black, as may be deI sised. is Buckingham's Dye for the !
