Don’t Use a Scarecrow
To Drive Away the
Mail Order Wolf
You can drive him out
quickly if you use the mad
order houses' own weapon
—advertising. Mail order
concerns are spending
thousands of dollars every
week in order to get trade
from the horrie merchants.
Do you think for a minute
they would keep it up if
they didn't get the busi-
ness? Don’t take it for
grafted that every one
within a radius of 25 miles
knows what you have to
sell, and what your prices are. Nine times out of ten your prices
are lower, but the customer is influenced bv the up-to-date adver-
tising of the mail order house. Every article you advertise should
be' described and friccd. You must tell your st_ y in an inter-
esting wav, and when you want to reach the buyers of this com-
munity use the columns of this paper.
Enlarging Your Business
If you are in
business and you
want to make
more money you
will read every
word we have to
say. Are you
spending your
money for ad-
vertising in hap-
hazard fashion
as if intended
for charity, or do you adver-
tise for direct results?
Did you ever stop to think
how your advertising catf be
made a source of profit to
you, and how its value can be
measured in dollars and
cents. If you have not, you
are throwing money awav.
Advertising is a modern
business necessity, but must
be conducted on business
principles. If you are not
satisfied with your advertising
you should set aside a certain
amount of money to be spent
annually, and then carefully
note the effect it has in in-
creasing your volume of busi-
ness; whether a 10, 20 or 30
per cent increase. If you
watch this gain from year to
you will become intensely in-
terested in your advertising,
and how you can make it en-
large your business.
If you try this method we
believe you will not want to
let a single issue of this paper
go to press without something
from your store.
We will be pleased to have
you call on us, and we will
take pleasure in explaining
our annual contract for so
many inches, and how it can lie
used in whatever amount that
seems necessary to you.
If you can sell goods over
the counter we can also show
you why this paper will bestf
serve your interests when you
want to reach the people of
this community.

8tatee That Port Chargee Have Grown
Greater, Lagging Behind Other
Ports. ‘
New Orleans, 121.—President W. II.
Thompson of the Cotton Exchange oc-
cupied the stand most of Friday morn-
ing at the Port Commission investi-
gation. He suggested us u solution of
the problem confronting this port the
building of a mammoth warehouse on
tlie river front in which ull the cotton
received at this port could be stored.
Mr. Thompson said the local cotton
business, the most Important to the
city, had been declining for years be-
cause New Orleans, instead of meet-
ing the competition of new methods
created by the building of compresses
In the country and the development of
railroads, not only failed to reduce its
charges, but actually increased them
and forced the rapid decline of ex]x>rt
business. Both laborer and employer
were blamahle. He sntd there was a
tremendous waste of effort and power
at heavy cost here, and the system of
handling should he revolutionized. He
had In mind a warehouse idea, and
that was being worked out now, and if
there could he a change of local meth-
ods with the adjustments that arerp
going on through the commission.
New Orleans could'be made the great-
est cotton port in the world, carry here
1,500,000 to 2,000,000 hales of cotton
annually, take the place of Liverpool
and get the profits that go to the Brit-
ish city from the distribution of sur-
plus stocks, while five laborers would
be employed then where one is now,
and that their employment would run
the year round.
The matter of stevedore John B.
Honor challenging M. .1. Sanders to a
duel was not broached.
HEAD CRUSHED BY LOCS.
Hosea Ryan Was Coupling Logging
Cars at Nacogdoches.

and as the young man stepped be-
tween the cars to couple them up,
his head was caught between the ends
of two logs, crushii, his skull. He
fell dead across I he rails and both
his legs and his right arm were sev-
ered from his holy by the trucks of
one of the cars.
San Antonio. Tex.—A statement com- ]
piled by the chief quartermaster of the |
Department of Texas shows a govern- I
menl expenditure In San Antuulo of 1
startling magnitude. During the year
the government will spend between $4,-
011O.OUO and $5,000,000 in constructing
the brigade post at Fort Sara Houston
and Improving the maneuvering
grounds at Leon Springs. Fully 95
per cent of this money is expended in
San Antonio.
During the month of April approxl- !
mutely $200,000 wPs expended in this
city. Of this amount $75,000 was ex
pended try the quartermaster's depart-;
rent; $90,OOP was expended in the
construction work at the post under
the direction of Capt. L. J. Fleming; j
$15,000 to $16,000 was paid out to the 1
enlisted men and about $14,000 to the
officers.
During the months of May and June
the governmc it will spend upproxi- j
mutely $400,000 each month at the post <
and San Antonio is reaping tlie I ene-
tit of this expenditure. The monthly
expendl' ures for several years have
ranged from about $200,000 a mouth
as a minimum to $650,000 for the
month of lie ember, 1906. This will
continue for several years before the
brigade pos! s completed.

• ANDY ATE THE ••PARRITCH."
But He Had to Play Mean Trick on
Himaelf to Do It.
An old gentleman In a village not
far from Glasgow breakfasted every
morning on porridge, and, in order to
save fuel, cooked a whole week's sup-
ply every Saturday. One Friday morn-
ing the stuff seemed very cold and
very salt, and he felt he must abandon
the struggle to eat It. But his stub-
born nature forbade any such thought.
8o he fetched the whisky from the
cupboard, poured out a glass and
placed It before him on the table.
"Now, Sandy," said he, "if ye eat
that parrltch ye’ll line that whisky, an'
If ye don't ye won’t.”
He stuck again at the last spoon-
ful, but keeplug Ills eye steadily oa
the glass of whisky, he made a bold,
brave effort, and got It down. Then
ho slowly and carefully poured back
the whisky Into the bottle with a
groad grin, as he said to himself;
' Sandy, my lad, I did ye thot time, y«
ould fule!”

BUYING PAINT BLINDLY.
Many people look upon paint buy-
ing as a lottery and so It Is, Ihe way
they do It. It is not necessarily ho,
however. Bure White I/ea.l and lin-
seed oil are the essential elements of
good pnlnt. Adulterants In white lead
ran be easily found by the use of a
blowpipe. Adulterations In linseed oil
ran he detected with a fair degree of
certainty. See that these two elements
are pure and properly put on and tho
paint will slay put.
National Lead Company, Wood-
bridge, Building, New York City, will
send a blowpipe outfit and Instruc-
tions for testing both white lead and
linseed oil, on request.
Paving the Way.
"George," said the pretty girl, “I
know you're awful bashful."
This was portentous, wllh leap year
so new. He blushed assent.
"And you'd have proposed to me ex-
cept for that?"
This, too, he was bound to acknowl-
edge.
“Well, I would have accepted," she
went on, “and so that's settled.”
Discussing the matter later she ex-
pressed a natural pride that she had
not taken any advantage of the sea-
son.

Many Remedies to No Avail
—Cured by Cuticura.
“After an attack of rheumatism,

tell all the discomforts and great suf-

He used every kind of remedy and
three physicians treated him, one after
the other, without any good results
whatever. One day I ordered some
C’uilcura Soap, Cuticura Ointment,
Hid Cuticura Resolvent. He began
to use them and In three weeks all the
sores were died up. The burntng fire
stopped, and the pains became bear-
