csts of the people of our community, and

To those of our business men who do not
advertise How does the outside world
know whether you are in business sold
out. broke, dead or anything else if YOU
don't advertise? If they don't see your
card i'll the paper they don't know what's
the matter. 1t won't cost YOU much to give
the outside world the needed information
through the columns of the GOLD LEAE
The gainesville Democrat says this and
with great deal of truth 1.-The hardest
Job an editor has, according to an exchange
Is to blow his brains ont about the progress
siye proclivitics of the town, where the
business men do not appreciate his effort:
enough to give him a small advertisement
Some men can appreciate it until it comes
to few dollars and cents then you cal
shut off the wind
New subscriptions are coming in ani
new advertisements in larger numbers ant
more constantly than heretofore. 1t show
that the GOLD LEAF is read and apprecia
ted. This is right the more subscriber
and good paying advertisements We hav
the better paper we can give. Every bod

should encourage the strongest friend an
champion of this section.

GOLD LEAF would suggest that good wa
to begin would be to invest more LIBERAL
