On the 5th February in that year, this was the way they advertised for
recruits for the Government service, offering among other inducements,
"a Crown to drink the King's health."

ALL able-bodied fit Men that have an Inclination to serve
His Majesty King GEORGE the Second, in the first Independent
Company of Rangers, now in the Province of _Nova-Scotia_,
commanded by _Joseph Gorham, Esq_; shall, on inlisting,
receive good Pay and Cloathing, a large Bounty, with a Crown
to drink the King's Health. And by repairing to the Sign of
the Bear in King-Street, _Boston_, and to Mr. _Cornelius

Encouragement, and many Advantages accruing to a Soldier, in
the Course of the Duty of that Company, too long to insert
here; and further, may depend on being discharged at the
Expiration of the Time entertained for, and to have every

There was a meeting of "very agreeable Ladies" in the interests of
economy about the same time.

In a large Circle of very agreeable Ladies in this Town, it
was unanimously agreed to lay aside the Use of Ribbons, &c.
&c. &c. for which there has been so great a Resort to
Milliners in times past----It is hoped that this Resolution
will be followed by others of the Sex throughout the
Province--_How agreeable will they appear in their native
Beauty, stript of these Ornaments, from the prevailing
Motive of Love to their Country._

We must after all our Efforts, depend greatly upon the
Female Sex for the Introduction of Oeconomy among us: And
those who have the Pleasure of an Acquaintance with them,
assure us that their utmost Aid will not be wanting.

So strong is the Disposition of the Inhabitants of this Town
to take off the Manufactures that come from the Country
Towns, especially Womens and Childrens Winter Apparel, that
nothing is wanting but an Advertisement where they may be
had in Town, which will be taken in, and published by the
Printers of this Paper _Gratis_.
