THIS TOWN
fbom thk standpoint of your
BUSINESS
There are merchants In this town
to whom tbe population counts tha
#uil 100 per cent; others who secure
vue benefit of * SO per cent popula
tion. and soma who profit by only
fS per cent, or even less.
The siie of the town, from the
standpoint of your business, depends
cd the percentage of the population
joo do bqsiness with.
And tbe percentage of population
who trade with yon, more than by
anything else, can be determined by
the Newspaper advertising you do.
To conduct a business under ihe ex
pense Incident to do ing business in
a town of this sise and reaching but
?ne-quarter, or one-half of the pop
ulation. is not altogether goou busl
aess policy.
By the judicious use of our adver
tising columns you secure trade
from the maximum percentage of the
population to whom your goods
would appeal.

from Hamlet <* Novombcr ?tb. Rich
moad county ku one ot the most
baffling mysteries with which the
coaaty haa nor had to coatend.'but
la solving which every effort to be
ing made by hla devoted aone. oae
or two or thorn remaining here con
stantly and following oat ever* clue
which preaeote ltaelt.
One arroat haa already been made
In connection wtth the caaa. but no
evidence ot foal piny wea preeonted
and the prisoner waa dtacharged.
Yet there are features connected
wtth the disappearance of the ntan
which points strongly to murder,
for were James A- Cronartle allre
today he would .communlcau with
his relatives, it ot sound mind; If ot
unsound mind ha haa papers In hla
poaaeaalon which would Identify
him.
James A. Cromartle left hla home
at Boperton. on., and arrived In Ham
let. where he waa to take a train for
Clarkton. N. c., on the evening of
November 9th. He stoppod at the
Seaboard Hotel tn Hamlet, but weat
for a walk leaving his baggage it'
the hotel. v
That erening h? was teen by *
colored man IWlac on the Hamlet*
Rocklnham road. This man talked
with him and la positive of hla Iden
tity. Later, another man said he had
?*?11 him going toward the swamp
In that neighborhood and that two
negro boys had told htm there was
an old man dead In the swamp.
Searching parties were Bent out
from Hamlet and every inch of the
Kround was rone over. Nobody was
found and the negro who had told
*o much was arrested on ejrapicion.
but afterwards was released for lack
of evidence.
Right here every clue as to the
man s whereabouta ends. The entire
state has been searched and now the
matter has been placed In tho hands
ot tbe police of the ?rge cities,
throughout the coontry, who are'mak
ing a systematic search. In addition
to this tb? ni visnapers has been ask,
ed and thousands of photographs are
being sent out In an effort to locate
the man, who was 69 years of age
and was 5 feet 7 inches tall. When
he disappeared he had only <25 or
130 in his pockets and no insurance
on hla life.
From Information secured by.his
sons It looks as if murder has been
committed and the body hid '
made away with. Every effort la be
ing made to locate him. A reward
Is offered ior Information of his
whereabouts, dead or alive. Hla sons
still remain here to be on hand If
any newa should come In from the
many aourcea which are now work
Ing on the case.
Mr. Cromnrtlo Is the father ol
Mrs. w. J. Pippin or this city, who
has been In great suspense over the
mysterious disappearance of her fn
?her. she hns tho sympathy of the
entire community In her great aor
row. Mr. Cromartle was to have vis
ited his daughter here during the
Cnristinas holidays. 1
It doesn't break into the scandal
class until it bccaomes talked about.
