MONDAY, OOTOBBB 88, 180B.
A OTWSpapsb has at least 6,000
readers to 1,000 subscribers. Amer
chant who puts out 1,000 hand bills
gets possibly 800 or 400 people to read
them. The hand bills cost as much
as a gocd advertisement in bis heme
paper. All the women and boys read
the advertisements. The merohant
who uses newspaper with 1,000 sub.
Bori ers has 4,600 more readers.
There is no estimating the amount
of business that advertising brings to
a merohant, but that every dollar
thus invested brings a good return
there is no doubt The Pbbss Vmi.
tor is read every day by more than
ten thousand people.
Ma. Hai W. Aybb, editor of the
Caucasian, is quoted as saying that
in a few days it will be knowq
whether the Populists favor fusion
both on the State and also the elec
toral ticket. Mr. Ayer says their
plan of action is to write to every
county ohairman, who in turn writes
to every township ohairman. The
township chairmen are supposed to
consult the people of their vicinity.
In this way the Populists say they
will find out how their people stana
This is one of the things that was
agreed upon at the executive com
mittoe'e meeting. Mr. Thos. Settle,
Congressman from the Fifth Dis
trict, who has baen here for a day or
two says on the other hand that fu
sion will undoubtedly be continued,
and says that it is the only depend
ence and salvation of the Populists
in North Carolina. We shall see
what we shall see.
A Nsw York paper says that a
new and original mode of making
money has been hit upon by an en
terprising capitalist of the metro
polis. Weddings have been numer
ous, and as the habit of making
handsome presents, as well as wedding-breakfast
giving, is dying out,
the bold adventurer has started
lavish present loans. His method is
this: He lends a $1000 note to the
father or other important relative of
the bride, which note is exhibited
among the gifts of the fair one to
intimidate or cheer others into fol
lowing the good example. A deteo-
tive is kept on the premises to keep
a wary eye on the valuable tro
nh. which, when its work of
w -
enoouragement is done, is returned
to Its original owner, plus ft hand
some commission for the use thereof.
This, after all, is very little worse
than hiring dancing young men for
evening parties, which, itis whis-
pered. does take place when moth
ers are distressed ? and bantlings
numerous.
