SHORT IRLKS ON ADVERTISING.
copyright by Charles Austin Bates.

copyright by CnarleS AUSTIN BaCeS.J
Advertisements won't work miracles,
| won't sell ice in Greenland nor snowshOes
at the equator. An advertisement will
sell overcoats in July if they are cheap
enough, but a seasonable ad. OF season
able stuff is always best.
Dull season advertising must be con-
sidered in two ways, as advertising and
| as Observation-Disclosures OF buSlness-ln-
surance against loss OF trade.
Such insurance should be placed on the
same business principles that dictate the
| placing of fire and life insurance. Pick
out the strongest comprehensive best
papers.
Business Observation-Disclosures bet
ter than the other kinds. They repay
thelosses caused by misfortune. Adver-
| Using prevents the misfortune.
1t may be possible to do advertising
from which you will never see any results.
1t is certain that you will never get re-
| suits from the advertising that you do
| not do.
If all the money that is wasted in
| worthless media were concentrated in the
best paper-a paper like The GOLD
LEAF, it would carry good ADVERTISE
| ment straight through the dull season.
Advertising finds parallel i'll farming.
At some season the harvest follows the
planting very quickly, at Others the re-
| ult is slower.
Plant advertising seed in December and
the crop comes at once. Plant in July
and it may be September before the full,
rich harvest comes, butt will come. And
if you plant little garden sass" along
with it, you'll get something to eat right
straight through July and August, too.
Don't try to sell heavy things-things
involving great outlay. Seek out the
little catchy, useful things. Get wedge
of satisfaction started into the house with
three-cent fan, and the big end of it will
carry in some silk dresses later on.
Running expenses are much the same
whether you're dull or busy. Figure the
cost of the advertising against the gross
profit of the increased business from week
to week, and the operation will show q
profit every time, provided the ADVERTISE
ments are properly considered and writ
ten-"but that's another story" as Mr..
kipling says.
The Salisbury Herald asserts that
In the good times that are coming
There'l be tax on dogs;
A mule without mortgage
And farm that raises hogs.

Ours is Great and Glorious Country
Knoxville Tribune.


"There's not the least shadow OF
doubt about the matter-ours is en-
phatically, undoubtedly, positively,
comparatively, superla,ively, great
and glorious country. The annals Of
time furnish nothing to compare with
it; Greece wasn't circumstance;
Rome wasn't no wheie;;' Venice
couldn't hold us a candle, while all
the modern nations sink into insignih-
canoe before our country. 1t has
longer rivers and more of them, and
muddier and deeper, and they run
faster and go farther, and make more
noise, and rise higher and fall lower
than anybody else's rivers. 1t has
more lakes, and they are bigger and
clearer than those of any other nation.
1t has more Cataracts, and they fall
farther and faster and harder, and roar
louder, and look grander than ali
other CataraCts. 1t has more noun
tains, and they are higher, and have
more snow on them, and are harder to
get up and easier to fall down than
any other mountains. 1t has more
gold, and it is heavier and brighter
and worth more than the gold of other
countries. Our railroad cars are big
ger and run faster, and pitch off Of
tener, and kill more people than all
other railway cars. Our steamboats,
are larger, and carry bigger loads, and
'bile their buster oftener and the
captains swear harder than in any
other country. Our men are bigger,
longer, thicker, and can fight harder
and faster, drink more whiskey, chew
more tobacco, spit more and farther,
stick up their heels higher, and do
anything else more and better and Of
tener than men in all other countries.
Our ladies are prettler, dress finer,
spend more money, break more hearts,
wear shorter skirts and prettier hosiery,
and kick up the devil generally, and
to greater extent than all other ladies.
Our politicians can spout louder, lie
harder, make gas faster, dodge quicker,
turn oftener, make more noise and do
less work than anybody else's politi-
clans. Our niggers are blacker, work
less, have thicker skulls, smell louder,
and need thrashing oftener than any,
body else's niggers. Our children
squeal louder, grow faster, and get too
big for their trousers quicker than all
other children. 1t is great country!
1t is the corner stone of all nations,
the top Of the heap, the last button on
the coat, the crowning jewel in the
diadem, the head of the column, the
last link in the chain, the observed of
all observers. 1t will eat up all other
nations faster than Pharoah's lean kline
ate up the fat one. When all other
nations are numbered with the things
that were, it will be just rejoicing in
its strength. 1t will kick all other
nations out of existence; it will lick
them up as COW licketh salt. And
finally, it has louder thunder, faster
lightning, bigger hail and colder ice
than can be found in any part of the
inhabited globe. Hurrah for the pro-
dlglous constellation of States. Hang
a man that wouldn't praise his coun-
try.

Out through the hills Of midnight,
Hurting and laundering on,
The night express from the outer world
Speeds for the open dawn.
Out of the past and gloom wrack.
Out Of the dim and yore,
Freighted as train or caravan
Was never freighted before;
Built when the SphinX's query
Was new on the lips of peace;
Hur led through the aching and hollo"
years
Till time shall have release;
Stealing and swift as shadow,
Sinuous, urging and bind,
Tnpent as Joy Or the flight OF bird,
With oblivion behind;
Down to the morrow country,
Into the unknown land.
And the Driver griis the throttle par,
Our lives are in His hand.
The sleeping hills awake;
A tremor, dread, a roar;
The terror is flying, is come, is past;
The hills can sleep once more.
\ moment the silence thrObs,
The dark has pulse Of fire.
And then the wonder Of time is gone,
A wrath and desire.
Demonish, toiling, grim,
In the ruddy furnace flare,
While the driver fingers the throttle bar,
Who stands at His elbow there?
Can it be, this thing like a shred
OF the ornament torn away,
Is a boarded train that death ana his crew
COnSOrted to waylay?
His wreckers, grinning and lean,
Are lurking at every curve;
But the Driver toys with the throttle bar
He has the iron nerve.
We are travelling safe and warm,
With our little baggage Of cares;
Why tease the peril that yet would come
Unbidden and unawareS!
Tile lonely are lonely still,
And the friend has another friend;
Only the idle heart inquiries
The distance to the end.
We pant up the climbing grade,
And coast on the tangent mile,
While the driver toys with the throttle
bar,
And gathers the track in His smile.
The dreamer weary of dreams.
The lover by love released,
Stricken and whole, and eager and sad.
Beauty and waif and priest,
All these adventure forth.
Strangers though side by side,
With the tramp of time in the roaring
wheels,
And the haste in the shadow stride.
The star that races the hill
Shows yet the night is deep,
But the Driver humOrS the thrOttle-Dar;

Remedy for Hog Cholera.

From one Of our exchanges we take
the following and publish it for what it
may be worth:
DR.. L. J. Dodge, of Hamilton, ILL.,,
has discovered, and gives to the farm
ers of the country, free, the following
hog cholera remedy which it would be
we'll to try.
The prescription and directions are as
follows:
Arsenic, one-half pound; cape aloes,
one half pound; blue vitriol, one-fourth
pound; black anthony, one ounce.
Grind and mix we'll the remedy before
using. The following are the directions
for use:
l. Sick hogs in all cases to be sepa-
rated from the we'll ones and placed in
dry pens with only five or eight in each
pen.
> Feed nothing but dry feed with no
water only the slop containing the REM
edy until cured.
). When hogs refuse to eat turn them
on their backs, and with long handle
spoon put the dry medicine down their
tnrOatS.
4. Dose for large hog, one teaspoon
full three times day for three days;
then miss one day and repeat the amount
until cured. Shoats or pigs one-half the
amount.
5. AS preventive one teaspoonful
once week will keep your hogs in a
healthy condition to take on fat. l can
place one we'll hog in pen with one
hundred sick ones, and with this rem
edy keep him we'll.
s. Let no other stock but hogs have
access to this remedy as it is to them a
deadly poison.
DIR. Dodge adds that for many years
he sold this recipe for IS and treated
thousands of hogs at the rate of 81 per
head. paying the owner 10 cents pound
for all that died after treatment.
