Iu Marco New Scalp Law. A bill creating bounties for the destruction of certain noxious animals and appropriating $50, 000 to carry out tho pr jvisions of the act, has become a law by the govern u- signing the measure. It becomes effective at once, and its provisions will be of interest to those living in the rural districts. The boiintiesare as follows : Each wildcat, $4; fox, $2; weasel or mink, $1, Originally tho bill pro vided 1 for each horned or bar red owi or g.shawk, but these were stricken out. Persons entitled to such boun ty aud desirous of securing the same, must take the body of the animal or the entire pelt before auy magistrate, alderman or jus lice of the peace of the county in which tho animal was k lied, and swear that he killed it, giving the principal details of killing. The magistrate must then, in the presence of the applicant, and at least one other elector of the county, cut i ff the animal's ears and burn them. The officer is then to give the applicaut a cer tificate to the county commission ers, and the commissioners are in turn to draw the proper order on the county treasurer. The commissioners are to make affi davit semiannually to the state of the amount, paid out in bouu ties, and the state is then to re imburse such county. Any attempts to collect boun ties illegally are misdemeanors, each punishable by a fine of from $100 to 500, or imprisonment of ono day for each dollar of the tine imposed. NEWSPAPER ADAEKTISEMENTS.

What Thev Do for (he Advertiser, the Publisher, and for (he Subscriber. The shrewd breadwinner and the housekeeper reads the adver tisements in the uewspapers as a matter of business, and feels that the newspaper would well be worth the price of subscription if it did not contain anything else than the advertisemcuts. Yon sit down in a quiot hour at home, scan the advertisements, loarn who the live, enterprising mer chants are, see what they have to sell, what they want for it, and where you can get what yon need to the best advantage for your self. Tne merchant who spends mon ey to invite you to his store, and to toll you what he has wants your trade; not for one day or one week, but for all time. He knows that if he is to succeed he must have customers. He knows, too, that when he gets customers into his store, he must treat them white, or he cannot keep them. Hence, do not fear the man that advertises. He is the man that stands out in the open aud shows his hand; he is the man that has the customers; he is the man that is doing the business; he is the man that is prospering, because he stands by ihe people, and the people staud by him. The shrewd business man does not wait to advertise until he has built up a business and made mouey euough to afford it, as though it were a luxury. This would be hue expecting to reap without going to the trouble and expense of planting the seed. Tho planting must be done first; the reaping comes later. Newspaper advertising is a means to an end. Eery dollar phnted in judicious newspaper advertising, should yield a har vest of ten dollars. Of course, it is only fair to say that advertis ing, alone, will not bring success any more than planting, alone, will bring a big crop. The plant ing of the seed must be in fertile soil, and be followed by intelli gent cultivation. A man might know enough to plant the right kind of potatoes in the right kind of soil and yet not have sense enough to keep the bugs from eating the tops. A man may be able through advertising to bring crowds of customers to his store, and yet not be able to keep them. The public wants a square deal at the store as well as in politics: and it is the man who deals fairly with his custom ers that keeps their trade, and proves a blessing to thecommun ity lint as there can be no crop without planting, so there caa be no great success without keeping yourself and your business in the lime light of pu blicity through the newspapers. Every great mer chant in the country to day, owes his success to tho newspapers. O ice in a long time, a publish er hears a subscriber object to the space in the newspapors tak en up by advertisements. This is unreasonable. It it were not for the space occupied by the ad vertisements, the newspaper would be much smaller in size; for the publisher gives paper enough to hold what news he has to print, and then besides that, gives paper to hold the advertise ments, for which he does not charge the subscriber anything. If it were not for the advertisers helping to pay the cost of publi cation, subscribers would be lucky to get a much smaller pa per even . at five dollars a year; and then they Would lose the in formation that comos to them through the advertisements, that saves each subscriber many times the cost of the paper each year. Thug, while advertising helps the business man to succeed, it helps the publisher to meet the cost of the publication, and helps thu subscriber to get a newspa per for himself and family much below the actual cost of the pro d 10 It Ml Court House, Friday Even ing, April 26th.
