The Art of Advertising.

One of the queer things in business is
the propensity of people to seek irregular
mediums for advertising. 1t 10 unaccoun.
table the prices some men pay for sticking
their advertisements in irregular places.
Especially is this 30 when compared with
to pay anything for advertising in the reg
ular channels. Men will pay large sums
for inserting theis business cards in a sec-
tion in frame in a hotel, bar room, street
car, railway station, or in hotel register
OF an almanac OF guide-book, or annual of
one sort or other. The by. ways they seek,
or that successfully solicit them, are innu-
perable. Likewise they will spend large
sums for printing special circulars, and
in postage to send them. In all this they
ignore the most essential condition in ad :
vsftising, namely, that il has the charac-
ter and effect from the medium through
which II 10 given 10 the reader. Advsr.
tisemsnts thrust into irregular. and unbus-

the otherhand, an advertisement in . gen.

different Impressions that are made ON oil
minds BY advertising in . journal Of high

Jim Fountain called upon US last Satur-
day and made the following statement in
regard to the Collins COW matter, which
we take pleasure in publishing, as it is
not our desire to misrepresent any one, and

tirely forgotten. We received our infor-
nation from . dozen different sources and
published il just as we got it, II makes
no difference to US whether it be friend or
enemy, we will dsnounce extravaganza and

tain's statement is: That he went to the
house of Miss Rosa Collins and she was
not at home, bat left word that the taxes
were 76 cents and 2 cents penalty and that
he would throw off part of the milage and
make the claim 81 90 provided she would
send the money to town and leave 1t al
Ben Whitmer's. A few days after VIM
Griggs came to Whitmer's with the money
but refused to leave it because he could
not get the tax receipt In the course o.
week go he again started to Collins
and me. Mr.. Griggs on the road, who told
him about the matter. While engaged il
conversation Miles Dittoe and his wife
drove up and upon learning Fountains
business Dittoe said, that if he had th'
money with him he would pay it. Fl,
asked what the amount was and Fountain
said they had caused him to make the SEQ
ond triE but he would take 81 ,25 and agree
ed to loan Dittoe the money, which ofie
was accepted and the matter settled. Fl
also says he had nothing to do with the GOV
