that ntiw-a-da3s, in order to draw a big crowd,' we must have other attractions than those oifered by an old-fashioned county fair. Let's make up our minds right now to have a big show next year, and not be outdone by Any of omr neighbors.

In looking over exchanges one can readily detect the live towns. A paper partakes largely of the character and habits of the people where it is published. A sleepy town
will have a sleep' paper, and there t
are no surer signs of decay,-then to see the paper filled with patent ads" instead of live crisp locals of business men. One of the best. investments is a showy ad read by the peopie,aud one such ad is worth a thousand bills and dead walls, or smeared in irregular letters 011 the feuce. -' - v ;
