No winter Climate Like Our Own.

There is no winter climate elsewhere
to compare with that found in our ex-
IRENE southwest or in Mexico, and the
sooner we put this fact into poetry and
literature, and begin to make tradi-
ton of it, the better it will be for our
peace of mind and for our children. And
II the continent does not satisfy us, there
lie the West Indies within few hours
sail, with all the luxuriance and genial
ity of the tropics We are only half
emancipated yet. We are still apt to
see the world through the imagination
of England, whose literature we
adopted, or of Germany. To these
bleak lands Italy was paradise, and
was so sung by poets who had no con-
ception Of winter without frost. We
have winter climate of another sort
from any in Europe; we have easy and
comfortable access to it. The only
thing we need to do now is to correct
our Imagination, which has been led
astray. Our poets can at least do this
for us by the help of quasi-interna-
tional copyright Charles Dudley War
ner, in Drawer of Harper's Magazine.

HOW TO ADVERTISE,
A Few Pertinent Suggestions to Bust
ness Men.

A Few Pertinent Suggestions to Busi-
ness Men.
The following article taken from the
Charleston, South Carolina, World, on
the subject Of newspaper advertising,
and how to do it, is commended to the
consideration of business men:
The question of method in adertis-
ing is one having infinite range. The
matter is one of the very first impor-
lance, and cannot be too carefully
studied. One thing about it that may
be set down as true is that every man s
advertising, in its language and style,
should be tic-characteristic
of the man. characteristic of his stock,
characteristic of his commercial posi-
ton. For every man has his pecul-
iarities of development. When he
speaks we know it is he, though we
may not be looking at him, and his ad-
vertisement should represent him like
his voice. He should put his expe-
rience, his industry, his enterprise into
his advertising. 1t is astonishing to
their industry-at the store. early and
late, close buyers, eager seekers after
business, quick to embrace opportuni-
ties for enlargement of lines and ex-
tension of trade-it is surprising to see
how such business men continue their
advertising in the language of the rut,
and announce in the same words and
same manner that did duty for them
years ago, that they are still to be
found at the same old stand, with a
choice stock of dry goods, notions, etc.,
etc
There is another and better way to
If a merchant has any snap and energy
In himself, let him show it in his ad-
vertising. If he has any bargains in
his store, let him say so. If he has
connections which enable him to sell
better goods, or the same goods at
hover prices, than any one else, let
him say that; say it plainly, strongly
and in way that will carry convic-
ton Of truthfulness and on the same
principle that leads him to treat Wis
itors to- his store so they will call
| again, let him write his advertisement
so that his next advertisement will be
looked for. If you get PERSONS at
tention once try to hold it. The whole
thing is summed up in this: One
should study advertising as he does
every other department of his business
Advertising is science, simple it is
true, as to its main elements, but re-
quiring more thought and system than
many of our business men have been
accustomed to give it.

the press. The father of the five
brothers is still at the head of the bus
mess and has been before the footlights
for twenty-five years. The jokes were
good and evoked roars of laughter
throughout the entire evening. The
clowns frolics were intensely inter-

Guy was wonderful, placing three
barrels side by side and by a standing
jump leap from one to the other with
the greatest ease, besides many other
feats equally marvellous. The eontor-
zionist, or man serpent. eclipsed any
thing of the kind ever before seen in
Belleville. either in the ring or on the
stage. HIS contortions were marvellous,
until one would think his bones were
made of elastic. He accomplished the
marvellous feat never before seen in
Belleville of standing on the seat of 4
chair and picking up a handkerchief
from the floor. The audience held their
breath while inch by inch he raised
himself from his position. The effort
was vigorously applauded. The base
ball clog was also we'll put on. G. r.

vulsed in their specialties on the banjo,
bones, and everything else from which
music could be extracted. A feature
of the evening was the large number
of ladies present.

The Burgwyn-Jenkins and Hall Case.
A new move has been made in the
case OF Burgwyn VS.. jenkins and Hall.
The defendants made a motion for dis
charge under the insolyent act, and
rendered the sheriff bonds in the sum
of $500 for their appearance at the
hearing of this motion. demanding
their discharge in the meantime. This
the sheriff declined to do, and Judge
Winston, who was at home in Oxford,
was applied OF for writ of habeas cor
pus. The writ was granted and hear
ing was had to-day, defendants being
taken to Oxford for that purpose. The
Judge refused to grant the petition and
Jenkins and Hall were remanded to Jail.
The case comes up again before Clerk
of Court Perry Saturday, that being the
time set when motion to continue was
granted when case was brought before
him last Thursday. Affidavit of r. L.

Bank of Henderson, and member of
the Henderson Tobacco Co., with Jen-
kins, will then be introduced.

Fire.

What came near being serious and
destructive fire occurred about 11:3O
O'Clock Saturday night. A four-room
frame building which stood in the rear
of Mr.. J. f. Clarke's residence-the
Transient House-and Rev. Alexander
Sprunt's, and within close proximity to
both, was burned. Fortunately there
was but little wind which was OBJ
structed by the larger house, and the
flames were kept from spreading to the
adjacent buildings by means of wet
blankets and a profuse throwing of
water. 1t was a close call for both
and at any other time the fire might
have been much more destructive and
far reaching. The building was used
as sleeping apartments for drummers
and others. Origin of the fire is not
known.

The Adams Family.

Mr., EDITOR:-John Adams was one
of the distinguished men of the Adams
family, but he was not brother of
Samuel Adams we noticed in our last
article. He was one of the foremost
men of his age in opposing encroach-
ments on the rights of his people. He
was an able writer and created a stir
in England by his fervid articles against
oppression and in favor Of the liberties
of the people. In a citizens meeting
of his town he drew up the first reso-
lutions against the aggressive measures
of England ever adopted in this country.
1t was afterwards adopted by forty
towns of his colony. 1t put the ball
in motion that was to roll on with in
creased momentum until our struggling
people met the opposing forces in open
conflict on the field. Adams was one
of the men appointed to prepare the
Declaration of Independence; but it
was penned by the great statesman
Jefferson. Adams read it in Congress
and ably urged it's adoption. Jefferson
says, adams was the ablest advocate
and champion of independence on the
floor of the house, He was our first
minister to England after the war, but
returned home to accept the position
of Vice-President under Washington.
When Washington resolved to retire
from public service, he was chosen to
succeed him as President, but only
served four years. His advocacy of
heavy tax on the people and the pas
sage of the Alien and Sedition laws
during his administration made him
unpopular At the end of his term he
found Jefferson elected over him. He
thought the people. treated him badly.
for not re-electing him and he would
not see his successor inaugurated. This
much in the estimation of people
whose service he was quitting with a
waning popularity. He was truly a
great and gifted statesman, and our
people have lived to see the wisdom Of
the proposed measures that were
opposed in his day. After he had
retired to enjoy the comfort and plenty
of his ample estates he employed his
pen in writing able articles giving val
udDle lulOIIldClO1 Oli llldUIoIo ducCllIS
the nation. This gave the people a
clearer insight into his character and
the clearness of his virtues as a
statesman. Their prejudices against
, him died out before his death, and they
kindly spoke of him as ''noble old John
Adams.'' He lived to see his son,
John Quincy Adams, in the presiden-
tial chair. His son had more COM
prehensive and cultivated MUD than
he had. He and Jefferson, two ex-
Presidents, both died on the same day,
July 4, 1926. The eulogy pronounced
by Daniel Webster on the occasion is
regarded as one of the most brilliant
efforts of his life. Our country has
produced few men more talented than
John Adams. But W ebster, in tracing
the character of Adams and Jefferson,
says, Great as Adams was, 1 must
say Thomas Jefferson was the greater
of the two.' John Adams was one of
the great leaders of the people and
reflected honor on the country.
