NEWSPAPER ADVERTTSMNG. 6 y udliciOus Advertising is the Key
 stone to Success"

The Middletown (Conn) Daily Lead CT of November 8, says :-
 There is little room for sympathy with the merchant who never advertises his business and is always harping about dull times and business going out-of- town. If he would only investigate he would find in many instances that his legitimate share of the trade goes to his more enterprising neighbor who keeps his name before the trade by legitimate advertising. If one of this class of men is interviewed on the subject of news paper advertisement, in most cases he will settle back complacently into his office chair, from which he is not often disturbed and with Solomon" air in- form the newspaper novice that he does his own advertising. So he does and he does it pretty effectually too. A few years of such advertising generally makes bloated capitalist of his com petitor who is taxed to support him in his declining years at public institu- tion ''in such cases made and provided. :" Business success can in most cases be calculated with almost mathematical ac- curacy in advance. It is solely mat ter of securing the right class of custom CTS and enough of them and the only earthly way to keep this class of buyers posted is through the newspapers, of which they are the principal readers.

The funeral of Mrs Horace Smith was attended in the Salisbury Congregation al church on Tuesday afternoon, Novem- Der G. Mrs Smith was one of the oldest members of the church, dying at the age of 82. She was married Ill 1920; her husband still survives. Their married life therefore extended over nearly 63 years. A large family of children re- main and all but one were present to mingle their tears over their mothers grave. Rev MT Reid conducted the services and spoke from the text, |" Let me go, for the day breaketh. Mrs Smith was woman of more than ordi- nary character. She had a speaking face which impressed one that she was woman of kindly spirit and of real worth. She had served the Master long and we'll and it was right that she should be called home.
