Friendly Advice.
We desire to give a little friand'y advioc to
those of our readers who are amazing the
list of newspapers they want during 18SS.
The PitUburg Daily Thru* is one of the best
and brightest pap.tr< primed in the country.
It is essentially a paper for husy people. AH
the news of the day, careful market reports
and able editorials, will be found in such
form as is most acceptable, and nothing that
can offend the BUM' refined hon»«i circle is
ever found in its columns. Everybody sli iul 1
have a daily newspaper during the Presiden
tial Campaign. The need during HS.S will
be greater than ever, because the events are
likely to be more stirring than those of any
previous campaign. The low pricj of the
Pithbury Daily Time* places it within reach
of all. None of our readers will miss one
cent a day and we count it us certain that all
will thank lis for calling atteptiop to this
cieans of spending it wisely
A note enclosing s'i.oo will secure The
Pil tilbury Daily Th,\f* (or one year, and 25
cents will pay lor a mouth's inscription.
