malicious use of printers ink is one OF
the best Investments man can possibly
make This is fact we'll known to the
successful business men of the country
generally, but it is not so we'll known and
appreciated through this section. A few
of our business men fully realize the ad-
vantage of good, systematic Advertising
but the vast majority of them seem to re-
gard every dollar spent in this way as
inst that much money thrown away
These men are many years behind the
times and the business they do proves 1t
TO the satisfaction of every live, go-ahead
person. at a meeting of the business
men of Washington city held on Satnr-
day last, Mr.. Mason c. Grasty said be
firmly believed that two OF every three
dollars taken in at his store came to nm
10 the result of advertising. And it is by
the many two dollars so received that Mr.
Grasty has become prosperous Merchant
MANY of our merchants seem to think that
their advertisements are seldom II ever
read. They lose sight Of the fact tha'
the large bulk of shopping IS done oy
women and that they read every llne OF
the papers, especially the advertisements
They are always on the lookout for ne"
inducements and for bargains, ana TIT
first thing they read when the papel
comes INTO the house Is the marriage an'
death notices and then every line OF al
yertising. IF a merchant wants 10 d
convinced of this beyond the SHADOW O
n doubt let him offer few leading 10
ldncements and advertise the Same In I'd
colum ms of the papers and he will hav
Ibis eyes opened very wide indeed. U
Into any live town where the merchant
and business men generally are on tn
high road to prosperity and you are dea
sure to find that they are using the news
rapers for all they arc worth. 1t nev'
fails to tell. A real business man nee'
no better guide by which to Judge of tn
business men of community than I
local papers. Their advertising colum
J will show as plain as the monday 81
whether its business men deserve u
name or not.

Mr.. w. L. Laughlin, of the Shenandoah
House, returned from Lexington, Ken
lucky, few days ago, with fine string
of seven horses bred from the best strains
of that great blue grass bone of the
hooded horse. Mr.. Lsughlin is not only
a lover of that noble animal but you can
almost bet your life that he knows a good
horse when he sees one, and in this last
lot there will be more than one that will
be able to throw the miles from his heels

more such men and Shenandoah will be-
come second blue grass region for world

Mr.. Pres. Hickman, young married
man, living near the river east of Maurer-
town, in this county, committed suicide
lon Saturday of last week, by hanging
himself in his barn. The unfortunate
man, who leaves a wife aud three children,
was much respected throughout his
neighborhood, and was undoubtedly suf-
tering from alteration of mind when he
committed the rash act. He was de-
voted husband ard father, kind neigh
Dor and friend and his untimely death
at his own hands was great
shock to the community, his rela-
tives and friends. Our infor nation states
thai Mr.. Hickman had been in bad health
for sometime and rather respondent. On
the morning of the fatal day he informed
his wife that he was going to the woods
to do some choppiug, and when his broth
er. Mr.. Ed. Hickman, called to see him
his wife informed him that he would find
him cher husband) i'll the woods. After
searching for him there without success
he returned to the house, and after short
conversation with his wife be went to the
barn where the first object that met his
sight was the dead and stiffened body of
his unfortunate brother hanging by q
rope to beam. He at once cut him down
and every effort made to resuscitate him,
but life had fled and all efforts proved
unsuccessful.
P. S.-Since the above was in type we
learn that Mr.. Ilockman had been great
sufferer from dyspepsia, and at times was
very melancholy. He was very restless
all through Friday night, and on the fatal
morning remarked to his wife, IL believe
am crazy" After eating slight break
fast he went to the barn to feed, and it
was while he was in there that he hung
himself. and was found by his wife about
II o'clock, a. m. Mr.. Hickman was not
quite 81 years old and had been from car
" life a devoted Christian.

Escaping Taxafion.

JACKSON, Jan. 3I.-The investiga-
ticns OF Revenue Agent Writ Adams
have developed the fact that = good
many banks and other corporations in
the State have escaped taxation In
some instances the amounts are small.
but ir others runs into the thousands.
The total amount to be collected will bs
large.
A good many OF these claims have
been collected, and others are in vari-
Gus stages OF collection. As a rule.
when the fact was shown that not
enough taxes had been paid the banks
promptly settled without any legal pro-
eeedings. Many Of the corporations
paid too little under misapprehnsion
Of what was really due, while others
took advantage OF various technicali-
ties TO deduct their taxes.
The revenue agent is working as
siduously In the matter, and is deter
mined TO see that the State. counties
and municipalities shall receive all the
taxes which they are entitled TO under
the Law. The collections made So far
are from some Of the best and strongest
banks and other corporations in the
State.
