Regular AdverliSers.â€"We commend the following, taken from an exchange. to the consideration of some of the business men of W’oodville:â€"-â€"“ Take it as a rule, the constant advertiser is tho onn who (‘00:; n profitable business, and , not tlmone who flashes his unnounca- mouts at irregular intervals upon the public. A uwrohant shuts a business. puts up his sign, and ho keeps it there continually. Ho would be considemd a ram uvis indeed, if he Would pull down his Sign when business was dull, and put it up again when business livoned up. Still, that is the plan of some advertisers. They make a good show for a few times, hanging out :1 nice sign, telling people where to find l thom, and what they have for sale, and when trmlo slackens thoy pull in their sign, and take a nap until better times awaken them. We think our adveru tigers. thoao who wish to make the use of printers’ ink pay them. would find it more profitable to have Regular, year- ly cards running, changing them iron quenlly to prevent them from getting aialo,then make their special announce» merits in separate adrertlaoments when ready to do so." trnction of windows 1)? dogs is getting very frequent and not until some sharp lessons have been bestowed will people become more careful about leaving their animals at home. Windows Brokenâ€"0n Monday last .the door windows of Mr. Don McLeod’s store were broken by a dog which had followed its master into the shop. The animal finding itself shut in, made a leap at one window, but failing to get through, although he hroke it, made a dash at the other shivering the glass into a thousand pieces. “’9 haw not‘ heard whether the owner of the animal paid for the damage done. but we think he should he made to do so.
