Opportunity Not Lacking.
Merchants in small towns are con
stantly complaining ol a lack ol op
portunity, says Profitable Advertis
ing, yet it is j ut such localities that
the greatest opportunities in the
World to make hits are found. Take
a town where a weekly newspaper
regularly serves the population with
the latest news, and then suppose
Borne enterprising grocer, dry goods
dealer, clothier or other business
man should suddenly commence to
advertise in metropolitan style
whv, it would create a mild sensa
tion. His store would be visited by
hundreds who never before had
patronized him.
Dull storekeepers with dull busi
nees methods are often responsible
for dull times. Bright men, with
business tact and a faith in advertis
ing, make good times. fame.
The Secret ot His Success.

A Hint to CommissionerB
The bicycle commissioners ol this
county might profitably ndopi a sys
tem which i meeting w ith much up
proval in other counties, viz: 1 sing
a mat aluminum hand lor marking
wheels which have been registered
and on which the regular tax of one
dollar has been paid. There is a
disposition on the pari of some of
the owners ot wheels to avoid this
tax and by the adoption ol some such
method as this a great deal of trou
ble can lie obviated ami complica
tions avoided. As soon as a rider
pays bis tax he receives the hand,
which will be bright and of a hand
some design, and on which will be
set forth the fact that the wheel i
registered and the registry number
will be stamped on the hand. All
wheels that do not have thi hand
attached will be likely to get their
owners in trouble, because oi the fact
that no tax has been paid on the
same.
In other portions ofthe State some
trouble has arisen in protecting the
side oaths from beintr used bv horse-
men and teamsters, and bicycle h-
ice have Ih'cii orirnnizeu to nrcvent
the spoiling of the paths by persons
having no right to use tbeni and en
force the penalties provided in case
of damage to the path.
