~ Said Ab "tot adrertislnr.
Daily advertising is to business
wl.ai daiiy bread u» to mankind.
Advertising is an active advance
agcut ai toe command of ail who
ace* success in business.
Theic is uo dewier but that has
iu stock which he cm
tuttkc prauuicut In an advertise
ment. If it be not novel, it may be |
made attractive by its ietsonabic |
pike. "
Men do not catch fish by staying
at home and looking out upon the j
water. MerchauU who seek to'
catch trade must get out and hustle J
for it. Advertising enables them '
to enter all homes and have a fair |
hearing wherever tliey go.
Continuous advertising creates
coufidence. Ihe prevailing opinion
is that oue cannot be constantly be
fore the pnblic without being found
out and known for what be is. The
people believe in a man who can
stand trial by the public.
The long winded preacher talks
to empty benches. The advertise
ment that is long strung out appeals
Wdy to lacy people who have noth
ing to do and nothing to buy. The
; ceaseless activity of this age calls
for sharp, incisive, well pruned ad
vertisements —Printers' Ink.

The inadequate supply of water

seem almost futile But the citicens
worked faithfully and succeeded in
stopping turther piogrca*.
At one time the whole block
seemed doomed. The rear end of j
the store occupied by Hodges &

but hard work kept, the fire from

keg of powder together with the
extreme heat burst out the glass
fronts of four stores on the oppo

Last Monday was the beginning
of a new fiscal year for the county
and it was then that the new coun
ty officers were sworn in, and
the old ones th»t were re-elected
were re-sworn to faithfully perform
the duties of their several offices.
Dr. U. S. Hassell, of Jamesville,
and Mr. Julius T. Barahill, of Ev
eretts, County Commission*, is, are
the only new officials.
Mr. J. B. Coffield, Chairman of
the old Buiixl, was re-elected to that
posiiion by the new commissioners,
aud tlicy were soon at work like
veterans.
Besides the regular routine busi
ness the Commissioners examined
the bonds of the various officials,
all of them being accepted.
Nearly all the registrars of the
recent registration were settled with
The cost of the registration amount
ed to about S2OO.
The bonds of several townshi]
constables were examined and ac
ceptcd. There ate others that havi
qualified yet.
Mr. J. D. Bowcn, Mtc Snperin
teudent of the CouutWHome, wai
re-appointed for anot|R year. I
is very gratifying to report that th
Home is in better condition than i
has been for several vears, and Mr
Bowen is to be commended for tin
way in which he has managed th
affaire. Until he was appointed tIM
cost of maintaining the home rang
ed from SSO to $75 a month, thi
average cost per month under Mr
Bo wen's supervision has been $35
a saving of about 40 per cent.
With a sufficient amount of clear
ed land and stock, Mr. Bowen sayi
that the place can soon be mad
self-sustaining.
