Rumors have it that there are two routes under way one to start from Elizabethtown, the other from Rheems. -_ Business Slow Without Advertising The Advisor, with truth, main- tains that no man who expects to suceess in business can do without advertising; no matter how large or small his business may bo, how little or well known he is, advertising is the magic key that unlocks the door of the gate which is closed fast bet- ween the man in business and the public. Of course, if a man is satisfied with a few things, if he has no aspiration toward big things, he does not need to advertise; but just as surely as the sun rises and sets, just so surely will the non-advertis— er go down to oblivion and disuster. And when you do advertise, always spend your money where you are sure to get the widest publicity. Advertising in mediums of small circulation never pays.

Had it not been for Sheaffer, Mr. Mumma would haye without doubt asphyxiated. Must and Did Keep Cool Last week the linemen of the var- ious telephone and telegraph lines spent several days repairing wires in the vicinity of our sanctum. It’s interesting to watch them climb nimbly to the top of tall poles, perch themselyes ou a cross arm and work away with apparently “as much ease and confidence as we stiffened, fearful creatures who work floor. Assuredly a lineman must keep cool—and when we looked at the thermometer it was apparent that they did. in chairs a foot and a half from the! , MANY LOCAL NOTES.

And there are many attractive fash- ions in flowers. Roses are arranged in one way and lilles of the valley in another, and so it 1s with the other flowers.—New York Journal.
