During the coming year it is the intention of the proprietors of THE COLUMBIAN not only to keep up iU past stan dard of excellence, but to still further inipiovc it. THE COLUMBIAN is the largest paper in Columbia county and therefore enntains more reading matter than any other. THE COLUMBIAN is the cheapest, because our sub scription price is only Si 50 a year in advance while all others any where near the same size charge $2.00. ..... - is the best, uecause we emiiio) more assistance, and devote more cure and attention to it, than any other receives. It is the best ADVERTISING MEDIUM because our subscription list is larger by ecvciiiI hundred than any other in the county.and there fore it reaches more leaders. If others would do as we have done, to-wit, cut on" all persons who never pay for their paper, our list would be double that of any other paper published here. Within the next vear we expect to in crease our list to 2000 paying sub scribers, and this is the reason why we can afford to sell the pa per cheaper than any other office though we occupy more room.have more money invested, and employ more linnds than any ot our com petitors. Everv family should have it because it contains gener al reading for the young ami old, valuable household recipes, and information for the farmer. 11. P.

There is a place in Phila delphia where a stranger may buy his clothes, and fare as well as if he knew tlie whole city by heart ; and if lie knows nothing about the value of cloths, or of clothes, he is as well off, as if he were a good judge of both. The reason is that every thing to be found there is made there made and sold under a system which rarely allows mistakes to occur, and which corrects them, if they do occur. Oak Hall is the place; and its practice may be summed up in a few words. If you get there what you tlon't want to keep at the price, you return it, and get your money back. This means a great deal more than appears on tlie surface. It means that you are not going to get what you will not want to keep at the price, if the merchant can help it. It means that the clothes you get there will be of honest cloths, honestly made; and that they will cost you less than as good clothes can be got for else where. It means that they will be ever)' way better worth your money than you can get elsewhere for the same money. If it means anything less than these things if it means poor cloths, trimmings, cut ting, sewing, or in any way dishonest or illiberal dealing; the return of his goods will plague the merchant, injure his credit, and dissipate his trade. If it means these things if it means liberal and honor able dealing, valuable and trusty clothing, ease and safety in getting it, Oak Hall is the place for you to go to, or to send to ; and it is worth your while to know how you can send, if it is inconvenient to go. Write ; say what your occupation is ; say what sort of use you intend to make of the clothes you want, whether for every-day wear or otherwise ; what color you prefer, or what color to avoid ; say about what you want to pay ; say everything that you think, may aid a stranger in choosing for you. You will get in reply samples of cloths and prices of what ever you want made from those cloths. Vou will get also the means of having your measure taken by an unskilful person. There is only one diffi culty left. Somebody has got to take the risks of the dealing ; for there are risks. Send your money along with your order, That covers the risk as to your good faith. We risk every thing else; the fit, and your satisfaction every -way. Our trade by mail amounts to half a million dollars a year; there's no reason why it shouldn't amount to five millions. will bo Eent on application, ELWELL & BITTENBEHDKB.
