WHITE BLACKBOARDS - White |
"black boards have been introduced |
in German schools, and are considered |
an improvement oyer the black or slate |
colored boards heretofore in use. They !
are said to he better for the cycsght OF
pupils and very much better for eXer-
ciscs in drawing. Prepared wooden
boards are displacing the use Of slate
in this country, and they can be easily
prepared in white or light colorS to re-
ceive marks in charcoalor black Crayon.

still one of the links that bind the past
to the present.

A Ploughman Turns up q jug that
EnricheS aud IntOxicateS Him.
SAVANNAH, Ca, March l6.-While
Mr.. Samuel Mcdaniel, young white
farmer, was ploughIrg in field near
Island Shoals, his ploughshare sudden,
ly disclosed to view a large earthea jug
securely corked and sealed. Opening
it Mcdaniel recognized the smell Of
whiskey and liquid proving to be a fine
Old article, he sat down and continued
drinking until he fell asleep. Worried
by his continued absence, the man 5
mother sought him ont and awakened
him. The weight of the jug attracted
Mrs McDaniel'S attention, and Il clos
cr examination resulted in the discoy-
cry Of 900 fye-dallar gold pieces or 4
total of - 800 McDanipl's guudfath-
er was a captain in a Florida regiment
in the time of the war and was. killed
in battle. 1t is almost certain that The
money just found was part of the dead
| captains fortune. Search for more
gold is progressing.
Bread is the staff Of life, 50 is aiyer-
tising the STAFF OF business. Blessed
are they who. do not advertise, for they
shall rarely be troubled with Il custom
er. You can't eat enough in a week to
last you year r,and you can I advertise
on that plan either. Business can 90
without advertising SO can wagon 60
without greasing, but in both eases it
IS hard work. No bells ring so loud as
a good advertisement. People are more
apt to heed what they read than what
they hear. Those who take the lead in
pushing their business through he
newspaper, generally take the lead in
everything else. If you don't mean to
attend to your business, ana prefer a
slender income while your neightors
grow rich, it won't pay to advertise.
Judcious advertising is sure TO bring
large returns, TO increase your business
reputation, 10 add to your acquaintance.
If you haven't business, advertise. If
you have business, advertise. 1t is a
''poor rule that won't work both ways.
y place well advertised is known to
many while one not advertised is known
only to few passers-by. Quitting
advertising in duIl.times is like pulling
down dam when the water is low.
When trade reyives, it will rush by him
who dotsnot stay it with ready custom
ers. The way to have such always OH
hand is through Advertising Er.
