In further recognition of the distin-

81 Never Read Advertisements"

No? Why not? There is no matter in
newspaper upon which, OE the whole,
there is expended more thought than the
advertisements. As a consequence, they
are, as a rule, models of condensation,
keen, "catchy" and often witty. They
appear in the newspaper for the sole and
only purpose of making money for the
advertiser, and he makes it a study how
to make them accomplish his purpose.
In 1887 there was expended for newsp paper
advertising alone in this country $780,
100000. in many large establishments
men are employed at large salaries to do
nothing else but prepare advertising
matter. Shrewd and successful men of
business do not spend such vast sums
of money for nothing. They have some
thing of value that people should know,
and it is clear that multitudes Of people
are reading these advertisements and
! profiting by Them or else this enormous
expenditure would not be continued
year after year. As the construction
of newspaper advertising is complete
and 'stinctive department Of literature
! whoever neglects to read them throws
away @ large part of the most interesting,
instructive and profitable matter in the
paper. Men who have made this subject
study are able to tell very closely by
the advertisements in its papers the
moral ard business characteristics of
a city. This being true, intelligent peo-
pie are not wise when they pass by,
as of no account, matter bearing so
largely uPOn common interests. There is
another phase of the subject, also, which,
while less ethical, is yet important as a
matter of dollars and cents; viz: the
shrewdest and most enterprising business
houses ere always advertising. Such
houses are those which always have some
thing attractive to offer in the way of bar
gains in this, that or the other thing, or
| novelties in particular lines, because their
energy and enterprise keep them con-
| stantly on the alert for such advantages
over their competitors. 1t often follows,
then, that more money is saved by the in
formation conveyed in an advertisement
some morning than in all the other mat
ter of the newspaper for the year.

Dadication and DRILL.

vast number of the preparations for
the great celebration now soon to occur in
this city have been perfected, but there
are still a great many additional arrange
ments coming up for consideration daily
and being rapidly attended to. 1t

of which will be the most brilliant and
stapendous ever Witnessed in the south.
The world renowned and famous attrac-

present crowded appearance and holt
day attire, and will be a scene of festivi-
