Neff and G W. Robbinson, Friday night of last week, was well attended and a neat sum, which was donated to the Rebekali lodge, was realised. The characters represented were va rious and ranged from the sublitna to tho ridiculous. The ridiculous ire dominated to a considerable degree All seemed to enjoy a jolly cvning which was attested by the lateness of the hour when the dancers took their departure. When Advertising Surely Hlpft It is absurd to wiippose that adver tising can sell anything, that it can turn anything into a success Tljss fact is that advertising would kill ? bad enterprise us surely n it would make a good one. Advertising puts a store or enter prise under a white light. Publicity directs public attention to something which would otherwise remain un known If that BomothinK is good if it will sta d thv. ordeal of iho white light then advertising makes it the V03110, makes it a go, makes it a sii" cess. If" the white light merely em phasizes the shorj coming" and defects of 1 ho r-tore, tho enterprise or tho arti cle, then publicity would servo to wnrn away parons or buyers rather than to attract them. It follows then that such a store or venture would not survlvo the ordqal of' publicity but would bo quickly snu Hod nut. And it also follows that any More and .my venture Old any ar tiole whicli has thrived under adver tising is good, is dependable. It lias passed the white light ordeal and has earned public approval.

Post Office To keep tho matter fresh in tho minds of the people and that they may not overlook the great responsibility that rests with them if wi 'uro to pro cure n railroad for this part of Beaver county, wo nro again bringing tho mat ter to their attention this week. The question cannot be too forcibly pre sented and we trust tliat all who see this article will consider tho same as personally directed a' themselves if they have not been giving tin railroad proposition the attention and support that the,, should. We are not pub- I lishing these scries of railroad articles for tho purposo of killing space or be cause we haven't anything else to put in tho paper, but are giving our time, lab((r ana 11 good share of the s nee of the 1 nil m in the liope tha we may be a factor for uchkI in the advance ment of the best interests of'Ileuver county. We Miink we know just what it means to Beaver and the county to mako this proposition go and for tliat reason we are sparing nothing .that lies within our power to bring the mutter squarely before the peopl". In part ours is n selfish motive for we know tliat with the building of the Beaver Valley and Northwestern rail road, ou property will advaii"e in valuo, there will bo more demand for work in our line and that ICO-ncrc farm which is now lying dormant and pro ducing nothing but a tax crop will in crease in valuo ror tliese reasons whicli aro personal to us wo want to bco tho road built and are busy doing our part to see that it is built Now that is just what wo want our readers to do. We want them to look at the matter from a personal standpoint. When they view it in this manner surely they will not stand back on working for their own im crests and if they can advance tho interest of their neighborhood at tho same time so much tho better. The idea seems to bo entirely to prcvolont that tho building of.tlie road will help ono community more than another and for that 'reason some of the people seem inclined to expect that particular community to do all the work. It has been argued that Beaver would derive tho greatest ben efit and for that reason Beaver should build the road. Now will the man who makes that statemont stop and consider what could help Beaver with out helping the farmers of tho county. If Beaver does moro business will it not be because the business men of Beaver aro dealing with tho ifarmers? If tho grain dealers; tho produco mer chants, etc., do bigger business will it not be because tho fanner? are profit ing by finding a home market for their crops where they do not have to make the long tiresome hauls through all kinds of weather and wheu they at Railroad Company Shares $100 last reach market be compelled to take just what the dealers at these larnwny points ure giving because they can not afford to make tho lppg lirul back homo again? If those merchants who supply the fanners with provisions, clothing and implements do a bigger business will it not be becnuso tho de mands of tho farmer himself makes it possible? and sucli do'iiuuds would not bo made unless the farmer was enjoy ing increased prosperity. W fail to see where the business people cf Hea ver have any great advantage over tht farmor. With a railroad Micro will be more competition and the patronage will be distributed among all. Not only this, but other towns nloug the right-of-way will spring up which will cut into ueuvers trade territory ma terially. Notwithstanding all this BiMver is willing and is doing more than her share of tho work In promot ing tho new enterprise. Were it not for tho work that t3 being done and has already been done from this point tho people of Beaver county would never have had this liberal proposition presented to them. It is true other townsjiuvo helped but Beaver has fur nished tho bone and sinew of the movement. The question is soon to bo settled pro or con. If thore ever was a titno in tho history of tho county that it was necessary for tho people to get to gether and stay together and work it is now. It is necessary for nil to do their share. Tom Jones and Dill Smith cannot shoulder the whole bur den nnd look after the interest of the whole county while the rest of the fellows sit calmly back and see the good work go on nnd receive tho ben efit. No, indeed I Tho whole Jones and Smith familes, with their uncles, unuts and cousins, must gut interested ud boost. Tulk to your neighbors. Attend tho railroad meetings and take your neighbors with you. Dut if you are too "ornory" to boost the work along for the sake of "Betsey and the babies" don't knock.
