"When the Grand Army post was or

somewhat eloquent-for me. There
were tears in the eyes of the old heroes,
and with one acclaim it was agreed
that the post should be named Cole

he was killed, and he was son Of an ex-
member Of Congress from Kentucky
and brother to the then Judge Of the
Ninth judicial circuit, who also very
narrowly escaped being colonel of our

ber Of our regiment ever set foot on
Washington soil From an enlistment
roll during the war Of 1900 we mus
tered out 1877. There are perhaps not

Cole Apperson had not, probably, ever
been mentioned before in this state.

The Simple Truth.

The merchant who sits behind his
counter day after day with his store
well filled with choice goods and but
fe ' customers. wonders why he does
no more business. The secret lies in
the fact that persons in general have
not the time or inclination to hunt
through all the stores for the articles
they wish. The people in these days
Of progress are in the habit Of turning
10 Their business directory. the LEGAL
newspaper. They look over the ad-
vertisement> OF enterpriSing merchants,
select the one having the articles they
want, and save time and money by
going directly TO the store and making
their purchases. The merchant who
aiyertises increases the volume of his
business, increases the amount of his
profits and Is able to undcrsell his COM
petitors who do not advertise. -Paines-
