MAN WHO ApYERTISEs.


One of the most successful buSl,
ness men of North Arkansas, and
probably the foremost dealer IN ms
line, is {. Y. Rosenthai, BatesvllIe's
exclusive hardware man. Ills suc>
cess is principally the result of con-
tinued advertising. He don't adver-
tise when trade is good and with
draw his card during the dull season,
but keeps his business before the
people through the columns OF IT. the
county papers the year round. The
consequence is every man that trades
in Batesville within a radius of fifty
miles buys something at RosentharS'
He is not only pleasant gentlemen
in conversation, but a gentlemen IN
his dealings. There is nothing sold
IN his house only for just what it is,
Nothing is misrepresented-,another
secret Of his success. Besides
this, he takes pride in his business;
studies it as an everyday problem
and lets other peoples business
alone.
A few weeks ago the Iron Age,
one of the foremost hardware jour-
nails of the country, and published
IN New York, offered several prizes
for the best essay on different subs
iects pertaining to the hardware
trade. Mr.. Rosenthal entered as a
competitor, with hundreds OF others,
and sent up paper on each of the
following subjects; "The Care Of
Price LISTS" "Ihe Cost of Goods, "
"Marking Prices" and "Good Buy
ing" On the first he got second
prize, $50; on the second, first prize,
$lOO, and the other two had not
been heard from when we last saw
the essayist. The fact of his suc~
ceedlng in winning prizes where
there was so much competition
should be regarded as a "feather in
Batesvll.e's cap" as well as to prove
Mr.. RosenthaI's thoroughness and
excellent business tact.

w. b. Scarlett has returned to
Hardy to stay a few days. His
health is not first rate but is improy-

The recent rains haye raised the
river slightly but not enough to put
it past fording. The water is in fine
state for bass and salmon fishing.
Irish potatoes are scarce and are
selling from 81 25 to 81 80 per bush
ell. The apple crop is very short
and all the fruit that comes to town
is sold readily at fair prices.
R. NJ. Jackson and H. NJ. Cope
returned from st. Louis Saturday
night. They report the exposition a
grand show and much better than it
ever was in former years.
w G. Brandon will return in a
few weeks from Springfield, to again
take up his abode near town. Thus
one by one the straying ones are re>
turning to their former homes and
demonstrating the truthfulness Of
that trite but homeIy saying that
"chickeus will always come home to
roost."
The cotton crop is better in this
vicinity than was expected and is
opening a little earlier this year than
last. Most of the farmers are en-
gagged in picking the fleecy staple
when the weather will permit. The
corn crop is fair on the river, but on
the highlands south Of town and on
the fatwoods north, it is almost a
failure.
