The one paramount method in j
advertising is through the news- j
papers. We now aim to do in a
mouth what was done in a year;
to perform in an hour what for
merly delayed us a month; final
ly to accomplish in a minute the
labor of an hour. This condition
has been largely brought aboo ?
by newspaper advertising. You
wish to sell something?you eat
so in the newspaper?it is sold |
You wish to buy something?you
say so in the newspaper?it is
bought the newspaper telle the
people about what you
wish to buy and sell?quick;

Wednesday afternoon a citizen
of the c juuty who had come to |
town to attend the circus, be-1
-ame a little dry, and approach
ing a young negro on the show
ground near the depot, asked!
him if he could get him a little
whiskey. The negro replied in
the affirmative. Whereupon the
before-mentioned citizen gave i
the negro 25 cents and asked 1
him to bring the liquid that ine- [
briates as quickly as possible. I
The citizen waited and became j
dryer and dryer, but the negro j
never came back. A certain old
adage about money might with j
appropriateness be applied.

Mr. Duncan has just returned I
from a month's stay in Europe.
While abroad he visited many

Dressing
Nearly every one likes a fine
hair dressing. Something to
make the hair more manage
able; to keep it from being
too rough, or from splitting
at the ends. Something, too,
that will feed the hair at the
same time, a regular hair- food.
Well-fedhair will bestrong,and
will remain where it belongs ?
on the head, not on the comb!

Letter to W. L. Woodali.
Smlthficld. N. C.
Dear Sir A mail fed his hens
half meal and half sawdust; he
thought they wouldn't know the
difference. He concluded they!
did when the eggs hatched wood- i
peckers.
Another mau painted his house j
j with a paint, that was made of!
half paint-substitutes. He didn't
know the difference?not till he
I paid the painter.
He had 20 gallons to pay for,!
20 instead of 10. Got fooled I
?12.50 on the paint.
He had 20 days' wages to pay- j
for, 20 instead of 10. Fooled ?iJ0
in wages.
He got a poor job besides. He
paid too much for his eggs, and
they hatched woodpeckers.
