FaIse Teeth In the surf.

From the s5urV PARK Journal.
Il have noticed" said q bathing house
clerk yesterday, that there is one article
never reported in the list OF things missed and
slolen-and that's false teeth. Why, we have
two or three dozen acts OF artificial teeth in
this office now" The clerk here showed the
reporter a large box filled with them. There
were some that must have cost fancy prices
when new. ''Yes," the clerk continued. 'we
find them sometimes in the bath houses, where
bathers have left them-forg0tten them-and
were too sensitive to come back and make in
curry. In all my experience l never knew
but Two people who had the courage to come
here and tell their story. The first
one was an old lady. We told her
that we mad large stock of the articles she
was IL quest Of on hand, and gave her this
box and told her to take her choice. She sat
down and examined set after set, and finally
broke out in a cry of delight: oh here they
are When turned around sure enough she
was smiling at me through a row of shining
teeth that looked as though they belonged to
her IL they didn't. The other case | referred
20 was that of gentleman who went In at
LlilagOre's. and lost his set in the water. It
was Just u hour and a half afterward when
he walked up to this office. and began telling
me about his hard luck. While we were talk
ing one OF the bathing masters handed me q
set that had Just washed ashore. The gentle
man examined them and said they were his,
and guess they were, too, for they fitted his
mouth exactly"

Opening of the Commercial Year-HOW
to Make Good Beginning.
1t is customary in the cotton growing
states to date the business year from
Sept. 1. Everyone looks forward to the
fime when the business pulse quickens
and new life is given to trade. One ofthe
means used to give business a good start
at the beginning OF the business year is
advertising. The enterprising mer-
chant uses the columns of the news
paper to inform his patrons that he is
still in the land Of the living; that he has
westhered the dull season, and again
solicits their trade. The newspaper pub
Usher uses the opening Of the season TO
review the business Of the past year, and
TO give his city a irst-class boom.
Trade editions are published and widely
distributed for the benefit largely OF those
who advertise in them.
In such editions business men, whether
merchants, mechanics or manufacturers.
ought to bring their business before the
public.
such advertising may not, in every case,
be productive of immediate results, but
Il will give thelr business houses stand
ing abroad that they cannot otherwise OBJ.

No enterprising business man Of this
city who expects to prosper can afford tc
leave an announcement Of his business
