There is no business that can not advertise profitably in some way. No one kind of advertising will suit every business, of course, but there is not a store in existence that does not advertise in some way. Even the sign over the door is, after a fashion, advertising. The object of this advertisement is simply to announce to our friends that we bought our fall goods of the largest jobbers and manufacturers in St.

Louis, Chicago and New York before the recent advance in prices, and with the most complete assortment in all departments, will be better prepared to serve our customers than ever before.

The oity ordinances concerning dogs should be enforced, and the nearer they become prohibitive the better it will be. Thursday Diok Newman was in town driving a colt to cart, when a our nipped at the animal's heels, causing it to beoome somewhat frisky. This was the signal tor a number ot other useless canines to join in and annoy the colt so that it became unmanageable, throwing the driver and running away. It made 'a partial circuit of the square, and when Syoamore street was reached cart overturned, with one shaft over the the colt's back and the other between his logs, impeding further progress so that he was easily captured. All the ours in town are worth not even the value ot the slight damage done, and they should be "put out," or made pay well tbo yf roiuuiuiug.
