A “'ord on Advertising.
Nothing is more common. when busi-
ness grows dull after holidays, than for
iiiei'chnnts. manufacturers and otheru to
act-l»: ii reduction of expenses by withdraw
ing their advertising patronago from the
newspapers. This, however, is a very
sliort-sightcd policy. It is almost like
taking in the sign-board from ouu‘a store
door or hiding one‘s light under ii bushel.
Human nature is u curit‘uc conglomera-
tion of motives and actions; and when a
mun seen a dealer looking gloomy, heard
him talking discouragingly. and finds
him dispensing with the ordinary signs
of thrift. lie is iipt to transfer his custom
tori more prosperous locking neighbor.
pretty much on the principle that the
world flock: to the rising and shuns the
sinking enterprise. Don‘t cease advertis-

South orwulk and this place are ndlg-
cant that they should be deprived of
their aelectmcn in so summary Ind unjust
a. manner. The people of South Nor-wall:
confidlng in the justice of Norwalk, did
not. go to the meeting in any great num-
ber. A few of her-leading men were there
and advised delay in the interact of
justice and wicdom.’ The town counaclb
or. Mr. Warner, advised the pea lc that
\
\ \
did not state the duties at were expected
of the selcotmeu. and advised more con-
elderation. One nervous old cutie-an
said he should vote for tho reso utlous bo-
caucc he wanted 3 ohm , which calls
to mind the eccentric ohn Randol 1:,
who called for tea. at the hotel. A tcr
looking slit, and ctirrin it awhile, he
again called the waiter an says: "Wait-
er! if this is ten, give me coffee. if it‘-
ccfl‘ec. give me tea, I want a change 2"
The old gentleman was truthful, and gave
all the reason be bad for a chnnge.
The change was not in the interest of
economy, or Mr. Golden proved by
statistics that the change would not
work, nor would it. be justice to the
selectman from South Not-walk. Mr. E.
J. Hill made an enthusiastic speech in
favor of the resolutions, and said they
originated with himself, notwithstandiu
the insinuatlona to the contrary. Gene
Couch was opposed to the resolutions be-

plan to punich the colectmcn because they
would not be manipulated against the
interests of the town. Formerly when
men conspired agcinat the interest of the
town. they would call a. town meeting In
follows: t 8 notice of the meeting would
be posted on the town post. then in a faw
minutes the conspirators would tear it
down, and the meeting would be held by
their own click. thereby robbing the town.
This was a common practicc and was
the cause of a law being passed so tint a
lawful meeting could not be held unless
it was published in the Gazette. After
that the schemcra would count heads
at the meeting. and then go and drum up
enough to carry their point. By this sly
and secret legislation the town is made to
sufier, and the schemera enriched. It is
buta few years since that here in Five
Mile River we had ashore road for nearly
half a mile on our river front, which held
the shore open for the use of the public.
This road was felclied from us by the
summary procceedings at town meeting,
held six miles distance from us. When
Elias Penoyer was celectman here, he
amped all them efforts to close this road.
but he passed away, and they rofited by
it. Now there 13 but one pub ic opening
