f4J gft iiiiljj xxwx. THURSDAY Jrc 8 1876 iZfMr. Armstrong is taking about as nice pictures, at the Astoria Gallery, b any gallery in the State Give him a call. 2rMr. Charles Stevens at the city 33ook Store i&oflering special inducements to persons in want of articles in his line. He ha a sp lend id stock, which he is closing out -at cost, intending to quit the business. Eastern Oregon The Astorian is doing more for the interests of Eastern Oregon than any other paper in the State. It" you have a lriend or a relative in that section of this country, send him the pa per on trial. Only one dollar for four months. SPut Smith, a noted stock man, who has invested largely in blooded sheep arrived in Oregon again recently and will make arrangements tor distributing here among sheep owners, of a lot of thorough bred merino bucks. He will arrive at As toria with several head of young bucks ahout the first of June. See advertise ment. "We reier our reader to the adver tisement of a farm for sale on Deep river. This is the best opportunity that we know of ior any man wanting a good place, cheap, suitable for dairying or farming purposes. The onry reason for wishing to sell, is that the present owner Mr. C. M. Stark is about to engage in other busi ness. j2-The June number of Samuel's West Shore has appeared and contains most excellent cuts, representing the dif ferent gold medals and the silver cup to be awarded at the Portland Centennial celebration; and also an extensive gen eral programme of the exercises and tournaments to take place in that city during the week of jubilee. These en enirravings would be creditable to the best publication in the country. A number of other very interesting illustrations, also appear in this number, besides descrip tive and other reading matter. 3Ir. Samuel-evinces much energy and comprehen sion in the management of the "West Shore, and success is well merited. jIt is not the polished orator who shapes public opinion, but the quiet editor, whose words go out to the public car without parade or ceremony. The orator may please the ear or tickle the fan cy; but the editor does mere: He satisfies themiiid, and carries to every household a fund of knowledge. The orator, by burn ing words and impassioned eloquence, may drive men to a sense of duty; but an editor it he be true to his pro iesion, at tracts men by the presentation of his thoughts which appeal to the nobler qual ities of head and heart. The woi ds of the orator drop from the lips and are lost, while the words of the editor drop from the press, and like coined money, pass tor what they are worth; if pure gold in the truths conve3ed, they pass current ever3T where. Eor good or evil, the editor wields a powcriul influence. He can exalt or debase a community. He can advance public corruption. How important, then, that the editor should be a good man, and that all papers that convey correct senti ment to the public ear should receive lib eral support. How Advertising Affects Busi ness. The man who advertise his busi ness, if what he oilers lor sale is honestly what he represents it to be or what it ought to be, is constantly assisted in his business by those who have been attracted to him and tested him. A buyer has read his advertisement, and gone to his store or work shop, warehouse, whatever it may be, and tried what was recommended. If it has satisfied him he is pleased and re commends it to his neighbor, who is likely to go to the same place and tell his neigh bor in turn. And thus little rills started by his advertisement flow in upon him from all sides, and the current ot his busi ness grows stronger and wider and more rapid, and he prospers and grows rich, all because strict attention in business he added judicious advertising. Rut for this he might have lingered on in the commu nity tor years and his business would scarcely have been heard of. An Editor's Appeal. As the report that we are very wealth has gone abroad among our subscribers, and has made them awiul slow about paying up, think ing, doubtless, we do not want the money, we hasten to say the report of our wealth is false in every particular. If ocean steamers were selling at a cent a dozen, we could not make the first pa3Tment on a canoe. The lightning of poverty has struck us square, and had it not been ibr an armful of hay which our devil man aged to steal irom a blind mule, our family vould be without a mouthful to eat at the present moment. Is nt this a sad picture, and can you de linquent subscribers look upon it without feeling the coin rattle with indignation in your pockets. We do not like to dun you but we must if you fail to take the hint. "It Pays to Advertisk." This is true in every department of business, and no ono ap preciates its truth nioro fully than S. U. Thompson. Some time since ho received the Agency, for this county, of the Cunningham (jarden City Clipper Plow," and immediate ly advertised the same in our paper. Green 1. Smith, Ksq., a patron of the Gazette, saw the advertisement and forthwith rushed to Thompson's and purchased four of these cele brated plows which at once have sprung into popular favor. No mater how good and valu able an article may bo. a merchant or dealer may keen it upon his shelves, or in his store for months, or even years, and but tew will know anything ot its good qualities, unless he advertises, ior years .Mr. 'lhompson carried on business hero, and spent but little for advertising. Within the past two years his business has increased nearly double, and be attributes it to judicious advertising. If you want to thrive in business, adveetjse Cor vall'ts Gazette.
