To choose suitable helpmate is well: to
select good travelling companion is better
Divorce can relieve you of the first, but
slasi nothing but time with its snail-like
pace can take off disagreeable dead weight
This remark is respectfully dedicated to the
numerous parties going out of Pittsburg
this summer bound for the various ends Of
the earth.

RELEAsED-J. Il. Jordan. who was
convicted at Bristol, Tenn. day or
two ago, Of the murder OF y. c. Adams.
has been released by Judge Rhca. The
ground of the judges action was that.
according to the testimony, the ease die!
not admit of murder in the second de
gree, and that the prisoner was either
bound to be convicted of murder IN the
first degree or released. Every body
was surprised at the result and many O.
the best informed people said they had
never heard of such :; case.
Another warrant has been sworn out
for Jordan, charging him with murder
in the second degree. and officers are

A Good Showing for the Week.

A Good Showing for the Week.
The Manufacturers Record, of Balti-
more, in Its issue of February Is
says:
awhile there is no marked increase
in the organic alton OF two Industrial
enterprises throughout the south,
there is steady solid advance, and
also q growing confidence with the
leading capitalists of the country that
the South is the best field In Ameri-
ca or Investment. Many plans OF
great magnitude are being worked
out, and with a return of activity in
investment and business interest in
the country at large the South will
again become the center of develop
ment, and future operations will
probably be on larger scale and by
heavier capitalists than anything
which the south has seen yet. Among
the more impor tant undertakings re-
ported during the week are the very
extensive iron and steel making and
town building operations TO be COM
menced by Mr.. Alex/A. Arthur, the
founder of Middles borough, in con-
nection with some of the foremost iron
makers and largest capitalists of the
North. This enterprise, or rather
these combined enterprises, will prob
ably draw not less than $40, 900, 600 in
to that section within the next IL or
Is months. At Tuscaloosa, Ala, q
100000 coal and coke company has
been organized, in connection with
contracts previously made, to secure
q railroad to navigable- water on the
Warrior river, thus opening a water
route from Alabama coal fields to the
Gulf; $50, 900 coal company has or
ganiZed in Shelby county, Ala; a
knitting mill be removed from the
North to Bridgeport, Ala; at Ocala,
Fla; it is reported that a syndicate
with cash capital of 100000 will
establish large tobacco factories; a
company is being organized to estab-
lish bleachery in Georgia; 1000
900 company has been Incorporated
in Louisville, KY, to deal in timber
lands, and q $1,000, OOe company in
Kentucky to purchase and develop
oil and mineral lands; in Frankfort
KY, a $300,0 distillery company
has been Incorporated; Marietta, Ga,
is to have large furniture factory; q
$3.50, kaolin company has been organ
lied in county, Fla; a $4,000 furnit.

THE merchant of today knows that
without wise advertising, extensive
and successful business is all but inn
possible 1t Is little amusing to
turn back to some old forms of adver-
Using and compare them with our
present methods. Take the matter
of soap, for example. The manner in
which inumberatle brands of soap
are advertised would lead to the con-
clusion that the world is fast growing
clean. In the year 1850 the only soap
advertisement in the world ran thus:
"William Deval at the sign of the
Angel and Stilliards, st. Annes lane
near Aldersgate, London, maketh
CASTLE, marcle and white sope as good
as any man sells; tryed and proved,
and sold at very reasonable rates."
The same advertising sheet annOunc-
es at the Angel and Sun, in the
strand is to be sold every day fresh
Epsum water, Barnet water, Epsum-
ale and Spruce-beer." Some of our
Chicago modes of advertising, especi'
ally about Christmas time, are to say
the least curious. But there always
will be romance in advertising, but
there is philosophy and wisdom too.

RETAIL ADVERTISING METHODS
BY T. Pliny Moran.

Local retail advertising is entirely
different from general advertising,
not only in the methods used, but In
their application.
The advertiser for retail esta blish-
meet must not only be able to writ
a lading article on any subject but
he should be perfectly familiar with
all of the details and techuicalities of
each department of the business.
Then, two he must be very careful of
is phraseology, far not only are his
efforts read and commented upon by
every one connected with the estab.
lishment, from the proprietor to the
bundle boy but great many Of the
patrons feel that it is their special
privilege to criticise any paragraph
or sentence which dos not meet with
their approval.
Especially is this true when he, in
PRODUCES some new idea, or makes a
change from the old, stereotyped
style of offering dollars worth Of
merchandise for fifty cents.
In general advertising, space and
position are the most important
things TO be considered; while If The
local advertisement Is made readable
and attractive, and changed daily
the public will look for 1t, and reaC
it with as much interest as they d.
the news column.

Eli Perkins on Texas Railroads.
An old traveller was fumbling over
his guide book in the ST. Louis Union
Depot. In utter despair he looked
up to q bright commercial traveller,
and burst out.
"Say, I can't understand these
Texas Railroads. What is the best
route to Texas?"
"Wby, my man, there Is but one
great railroad system leading into
Texas, just go and buy ticket by
the Missouri Pacific and international
and Great Northern route and it will
take you to any city In Texas"
But I want to go to San Antonio
and Laredo"
Very we'll. The Missouri Pacific
system connects with the Texas Pa
cific and the International and Great
Northern. This Is part of one sys-
tenn. The International and Great
Northern sprawls all over Texas. 1t
runs to Galvesto and to Laredo on
the Mexican border. II goes right
through Austin and San Antonio
and connects with President v.
Lofts San Antonio and Arkansas
Pass road to Corpus Christi on the
Gulf of Mexico and with Charles
Dillingham's Austin and Northwest
ern for Burnett and North Falls. All
the trains for this Great international
and Missouri Pacific systems wait for
each other. You can't get left; and
talk about running on time" said
the Commercial traveller sOlemnly.
"Why, If you start for Mexico on that
Missouri Pacific train, you will go
down over the Iron Mountain and
and Great Northern on
time, and when you get to Laredo
there will stand the mayor and COM
mon council ready to set their watches
by the train.
