An observing and experienced merchant
gives this information and advice to
other business men: "Advertising space
in the newspaper is as much a part of
your business and property as the dis-
f)lay window or the business office, and
pst as indispensable. Get rid of the com
mon but woefully mistaken idea that
advertising is something outside of a
business a mere external aid, but not
an integral part. Advertising space is a
valuable part of your stock in trade, and
it multiplies a thousand tola your op
portunities of doing business."
rriuter's Ink for the last week of the
year offers to business men a number of
timely- suggestions. For example: "II
you need advertising at all you need it
during the .dull spell that follows the holi
day season. Don't think there is no use
In pushing for business. Don't get an
idea that people stop buying goods with
the passing of Christinas. , The beginning
of the new year is a very good time to
get new customers started 'with you.
That your competitors Btop or decrease
their advertising immediately after the
holidays is the very best reason why you
should not do so."
Mrs. C. B, Wood ley and son, Master
Isaac, were returning home Christmas
evening about dusk, after taking dinner
with relatives in the country. Ernest
Tull was in the buggy with Mrs. Wood
ley driving. Mrs. Woodley was holding
her baby. Master Isaac was standing
up behind. At Adkin Uill they saw three
negro boys, nearly grown, standing near
the road. One was heard to say: "wow
we'll have some fun." One of the other
negroes said: "You better not do that.
When the horse got near them one of the
negroes threw a lighted fire cracker.
which exploded near the horse's head. The
horse shied, throwing Mrs. Woodley and
the baby out of the buggy. They fell on
the wheel aud then bstween the wheel
and buggy. Mrs. Woodley was very
badly bruised aid Dr. Woodley fears
one of her ribs is broken. Mrs. Woodley
tried to protect the baby but its face
was bruised from striking the axle.
After the occurrence two of the negroes
ran off. One of them did not run, and
being questioned gave his and the other
negroes' names. It was a deliberate and
mean attempt to cause injury and ought
to be severely punished by the law.
