In the city of Brook-
IjTi, [N". Y., ther(^has been
for many years a con
spicuous signb<)ard out
side an office which
reads, ^^KICK; THE
PEIiS^TEE.^^
Bibulous persons
sometimes go inside to
carry out tlie apparent
request, but they dis
cover that the printer is
a gentleman^ by the name
of Kick.
In every to’wn there
are persons who, if they
do not actually feel like
kicking the printer—the
newspaper man—at any
rate do a lot of kick
ing at the way he con
ducts his paper.
Please DO^’T kick
the printer; he is doing
the best he can.
And what he does
for the town and community, despite his occasional mis
takes, may be a great deal more than the kickers themselves
are doing. Did THAT ever occur to you ?
We are all neighbors in this to\^’ii. What helps one
helps the others. What hurts one hurts the others. Every
community is a mutual benefit association, wlv.i'her organ
ized or just running wild. The printer is a charter member.
If you had no printer—no newspaper—how would you
like that ? Do you know what happens to towns that don’t
support a newspaper? Xothing happens. IN^othing ever
happens in a town like that. As soon as things begin to
happen in a town the newspaper comes along and tells about
them.
The newspaper boosts the town. It records progress
and offers suggestions, by the editor or the readers, as to
further progress. Every copy of every issue advertises the
town. This is all free advertisement. It costs the town
nothing. It costs the people nothing. It is a part of the
business.
In view of this fact, which nobody can dispute, it is
much better to pat the printer on the shoulder now and
then or to speak kindly of him than to kick him.
NO; DON’T KICK THE PRINTER

Postmaster Genera) Meyer w*as the
principal guest and speaker at the re
cent annual outing to Marblehead,
Mass., of the Essex Republican club.
He said that one of his recommenda
tions to the next congress would be a
bill to establish a parcels post. He
also indicated his intention to exteud
the rural delivery sj^stem, which he
said was doing more than anything
else to relieve the isolation of farmers
and others living in remote country
districts and thus incidentally was
greatly checking insanity in these dis
tricts.
“The rural free delivery system has
caused us no end of extra work.” said
the publisher of a trade journal that
has a large country circulation. “Prob
ably not even the postal authorities
realize so clearly as the man who has a
heavy country correspondence how- rap
idly the rural free delivery system has
grown in the last two years. The
books containing the address of onr
country correspondents and subscrib
ers have had to be entirely overhauled.
Scores of little postofRces have literally
been wiped off the list, and John Smith
and hundreds of other men who for
merly had then’ mail addressed to then*
home village are now’^ on route No. 2, 3
or 4 of the delivery system of a good
sized town.”

does not mean, however, that
there are 300.000,000 on the av

tensive travel that the former
does.
A Large Contract.
When T. B. Allison the enterpris
ing druggist, first offered a 50 cent
package of Dr. Howard’s specific for
the cure of constipation and dyspep
sia at half price, and guaranteed to
return the money if it did not cure,
he thought it probable from his ex
perience with othe^- medicines for
these diseases, that he would have a
good many packages returned. But
although he has sold hundreds of
bottles, not one iias been brought
back.
T. B. Allison wants every person
in Brevard who hivs constipation,
tiyspepsia, headack.es, or liver
trouble to come to nis store or send
T. B. Allison 25 cents by mail and
get GO doses of the best medicine
ever made at half the regular price
with his personal guarantiee to refuud
the money if it does not cure.
To tliose suttering with dizziness,
heada;:he, poor digestion, constipa-
iion and straining. Dr. Howard’s
specific offers quick relief. It is an
invaluable boon to all wiio 1‘eel un
comfortable alter eating, and is to
day the popular dinner pill in ail
large cities. noy 8-22

A Hard Debt to Pay.
‘‘T owe a debt of gratitude that
can never be paid off,” writes G. S.
Clark, of Westfield, Iowa, “for my
rescue Irom death, b\^ Dr. King’s
New Discovery. Both lungs wefe
so seriously affected that death
seemed imminent, when I com
menced taking New Discovery. The
ominous dry, liacking cough qvit be
fore the first bottle was used, and
two more bottles made a complete
cure.” Nothing has ever equaled
New Discovery for coughs, colds and
all throat and lung complaints.
Guaranteed by T. B. Allison, drug
gist. 50c and $1.00. Trial bottle
free.
