in manufacturing enterprises within a
radias of five miles of that place.
"Advertising don't pay," some peo
ple say, yet the most successful firms
are always the largest advertisers.
There is a way of advertising that don't
pay, and it is to place an ad. in a paper
because it has a cheaper rate than some
other, while the rate paid to the first
paper is high enough at the best judg
ment lrom results coming in, if any at
all. Judicious advertising always pays
and that paper is the cheapest which
brings the best results, no matter what
its rate may be. —Press and Printer.

Railroad Rumors.
It is a well known fact that the
Pennsylvania road has for years been
after the Buffalo division of the W. N.
Y. & P., but the latter company has
always refused to sell that part of its
property unless the whole system was
taken. It is now stated that the Penn
sylvania people will take the whole
system, providing the price is not to
steep. The cause of this action is said
to be the desire of the Pennsylvania to
obtain a through line to Buffalo, and
the holding of the Pan-American ex
position in that city in 1901, will make
the line very valuable to this company
should they succeed in buying it.
Whether such a change would prove of
any value to Clean is doubtful, as it
would very likely result in the taking
away of the car shops located here.
Now that the purchase of the Buffalo
& St. Marys by the C. N. Y. & W. is
assured, there is no question but that
the narrow guage division from this
city will be made a standard guage
this summer, and the line extended
from Bolivar to Angelica to connect
with the Angelica branch. This
change will undoubtedly prove of
much benefit to Olean as this city will
very likely be made the headquarters
of a number of m'en employed on the
line.—Olean Ledger.
Millions Given Away.
It is certainly gratifying to the public
to know of one concern in the land
who are not afraid to be generous to
the needy and suffering. The proprie
tors of Dr. King's New Discovery for
Consumption, Coughs and Coldu, have
given away over ten million trial bottles
of this great medicine, and have the
satisfaction of knowing that it has
absolutely cured thousands of hopeless
eases. Asthma, bronchitis, hoarseness
and all diseases of the throat, chest
and lungs are surely cured by it. Call
on L. Taggart, druggist, and get a free
trial bottle. Regular size 50c. and §l.
Every bottle guaranteed or price re
funded
