SHORT THLKS ON ADVERTISING.

The first insertion Of an advertisement
very seldom pays. That is to say-i
you have never advertised before in q
certain paper it will take some little time
Tor It's readers to get acquainted with
you, and until they do, don't expec,
much return. There are occasional excep.
tlons, OF course, but they are few and iar
between. 1t is the systematic, persistent
enort that pays in advertising as in
everything else. In taking medicine the
regularity OF the dose is almost al
important as the drug itself
For that reason the columns of the
newspaper offer the very best medium
lor business announcements. For that
reason, programmes and wall hangers
and schemes OF all sorts, from an indus
trlai write up OF the town to a picture
card, are never effective. 1t may be well
enough to indulge in n pretty novelty
occasionally, II you are using all the
space you need in the papers
have been a publisher of programmes
and of other "schemes'-I have adver-
tised in them, and in my whole experience
on both sides of the fence l have never
heard or known OF a single advertisement
in a medium(?) of that kind that paid
The local newspaper goes into the
house bristling with intelligence, brimful
OF the news OF the world, sparkling with
the daily doings of the community. If
it's advertisers are awake to their oppor-
tunities it contains news of value to
every reader, for it pays to read adver-
tisements. Advertisements are becoming
more truthful every day. Business men
know that their news must be true, or it
will fail-they remember the story of the
boy and the wolf. l think it is safe to
say that any woman who makes a bust

Hints On Effective Advertising.

Advertising is making rapid strides
in these days of ceaseless effort and
keen competition. The merchant or
the manufacturer may become pos
sessed Of the idea that his business is
quite apart from and independent Of
advertising, but we do not. But for
the persistent publicity which the GUS
toners of this same merchant and
manufacturer are all the time giving,
their goods would not get beyond their
own factories and warehouses. There
is no such thing as the highest success
in business without advertising. II is
the power which creates, keeps alive.
and makes it possible to keep the
wheels of trade whirling at merry
pace to the end of business prosperity.
Advertising has we'll been called the
life blood Of business, and when any
attempt is made to prevent or disar-
range the healthful, natural circulation
of this life-giving element in its rela-
tons to the business system OF con
Germ. serious financial disaster will soon
follow.

Entered Into Rest.

Coming as it does from tho leading
paper in the county where the greater
part of his life was spent, where he was
best known and where the larger por-
ton of his friends and acquaintance
still live, we may be pardoned for pub
fishing the following from the Weldon
Roanoke News Of last week concerning
tho death Of Mr.. l.. B. Manning:
No son of old Halifax county was bet
ter known, or more highly esteemed than
was Mr.. Berry Manning, as he was faml-
iarly known in this section. He was a
noble, kind hearted, generous neighbor
and in his death, the community in which
he lived has sustained a very great loss.
As many of our readers already know his
sons, DR.. Manning and W. T. Manning
were at one time editors and publishers
of this paper. For the past few years
Mr.. Manning lives with his son, Mr.. T.
R. Manning, editor of the Henderson
GOLD LEAF.
The deceased was at one time quite
wealthy, but the reverses incid ent to war
swept away much of his property, yet he
met all his troubles bravely, and was
never known to brood over losses which
could not be helped. 1t is stated that at
one time Mr.. Manning lost $12, 900 in
gold loaned to friend, yet this great
misfortune he bore with heroic, Chris
tian resignation without one word of
complaint.
In his daily life and conversation he
allowed his light to so shine that others
might see that in deed and truth he was
q true Christian. To the be-
reaved family the Roanoke Neus tenders
its warmest sympathies. They have sus-
tanned an irreparable loss, but the good
Christian father has only laid down the
burdens OF life and now smilingly awaits
his children on the golden shore of the
new land of perfect bliss.

views the Cuban situation and England
Nicarauguan relations at some length
he also summarizes the probable results
OF peace in the far East. Other interna-
tional matters which rec i've attention in
the editorial pages OF tn, Repicu are the
relief OF Chitral, German and Austrian
politics, France and the Nile, the new
Speaker OF the British House of Com
mons, elections in Greece and Denmark,
the Popc's Enryclical to England, and
the school question in Manitoba. On
the side OF home politics, considerable
space is devoted to the silver contro-
versy, the annulment of the income tax
and the prospects OF civil service reform.

A few men have some times, at Their
mopyl@ and elsewhere, made strong
stand against great odds and been
remembered afterwards. General G. A.
Forsyth, of the United States Army, in
the June Harper's tells the almost forgot
ten story of the brave fight of forty
cavalrymen at the battle of the Arickaree
Fork of the Republican River, when they
withstood the repeated attacks of a
thousand Indian warriors. This battle
was one OF the most desperate in the
history of border warfare, and it is due
to the good sense OF General Forsyth
and the courage of his men that the
little command was not annihilated

The Star Spangled Banners Author.

Many interesting things about Francis
Scott Key-the author of the Star
Spangled Banner-are contained in a
pamphlet, which may be obtained free,
from the Key Monument Association,
of Frederick City, Maryland, by sending
one 2 cent stamp for postage. This
Association is raising funds for a
suitable monument to the poet. and
they suggest, that in the schools and
everywhere, upon or before Flag Day
June l4th), this subject be suitably
recognized. Contributions, however
small, are asked for. Every one who
loves the flag, ought to have some
small share in building this m onument.
The Governor of Maryland has strongly
endorsed the movement. The names
of all contributors will be preserved in
the crypt of the monument, and pub
lished without amounD in the history
OF the monument when completed.

The Late L. B. Manning.

The editor hopes he may not seem
immodest in printing the following
concerning his late father. He appre-
ciates its delicate nature and does not
do so to crafty his own feelings as
much as he does in Difference to the
wishes of others. The writer is Mr..
A. c. Gunter, son of the late Andrew
Gunter, of Halifax county, honest man
and Christian gentleman, who passed
from earthly life to life eternal many
years ago. From his home near
Connolly Springs, our friend writes US
warm and sympathetic letter in which
he adds post script saying in effect
that while it is not prepared for publ
cation such disposition may be made
of it, and he hopes it will be done.
for reasons given: LAS tho sou Of
your fathers companion in boyhood
days and his intimate friend in maturer
years, 1 desire to pay this tribute to
his worth and character that it may be
seen that those who held Mr.. Manning
in high esteem are not confined to the
narrow limits Of a home circle"
Omitting that part most personal to
ourself we print the last half of Mr..
Gunter's letter, as follows:
AS he lived near the old homestead
where l was reared, | knew him we'll from
my earliest boyhood, and l can say now,
what Others OF his acquaintance cen
truthfully say, that if God ever made a
truthful and honest man it was Little
Berry Manning, and the inscription upon
the marble slab which covers the tomb
OF his final resting place should be:
Here lies an honest man." He was
incapable OF q mean act and his dealings
with his fellow-man were always upon
basis of equity and justice. And now
that he has quit this temporary abode
and exch anged it for his final Retreat, he
has left behind him the light of we'll
spent life which still brightly shines and
could his mantle OF honesty of purpose
vive him, then strife and contention
temples of justice which exist from the
fact that
Mans inhumanity to man
Makes countless thousands mOan,''
would, by reason of disuse, crumble into
ruins and decay.
Trials and misfortune never made him
repine, but inspired him to higher and
nobler aims and Christian endeavOr, and
now that he has gone from US forever we
are assured that he is to-day enjoying
that reward which God has promised
unto the righteous and the just.
If the consciousness OF we'll spent life
can comfort in our last hours, then he
reached that mysterious frontier unawed
by the dread and horror of death, and
now that he rests we'll, take consolation
from these facts, in this hour of your
grief.

Handy Reference Book.

We have received copy of the
Advertisers Newspaper Manual"
published by Dodd's Advertising
Agency, u. W. Barber in charge)
Boston, Mass. Perhaps no better
recommendation can be given this
concern than to say it has been con-
tinuously in business at 265 Washing
ton street, since April lst, 1867.
Their Manual is, in point of conven-
fence, possibly the best of the many
Directories now published. Besides a
memorandum column for checking
contracts, calculations, etc., it marks =
new departure in announcing that this
Agency is ready to receive orders for
checking as well as placing advertising :;
in fact, this has been incorporated in
the title Of the corporation which
succeeds to the old business.

DR.. 0O0de Cheatham.

The GOLD LEAF tips its hat in con-
graduation Of its young friend Gooda
Cheatham upon having got his diplo-
ma as full graduate in medicine.
So modest is he that he said nothing
to US about finishing his course when
he came home from college, and the
first intimation we had of it was seeing
his name among those who were
granted license by the State Board OF
Medical Examiners at Goldsboro. A
talented and ambitious young man we
may predict for him an honorable and
successful career in his chosen profess
sion. He is son of DR.. w. T. Cheat
ham, of Henderson, one of the oldest
and most eminent physicians and sur
geons in the State, and is destined no
doubt to shed additional lustre upon
that we'll known name in medical an
nails in North Carolina.
There were only three in the class
OF "a applicants whose average in all
branches was higher than that of DR..
Cheatham. Two of these were 5
and year men. His average was 90,
the maximum being 100 which he took
ON some branches. Only one other
stood as well, 80 being the standard of
requirement. Out of the total num-
Der of applicants 81 were granted
license. These facts we gather from a
letter written by DR.. L. J. Picot, Sec
rotary of the Board of Medical Exami-
ners.

School Picnic.

Mrs. Gardens school closed Wednes-
day of last week in a fitting and enjoy
able manner. The children had pic
mic out at Wortham's mineral spring
and the event was a delightful one
every way. The. queen, chosen from
among the smaller children, was little
Ethel Garden, with Lille Dunn as
crowner. Sarah Workman and Mittie
Rem were table managers. After the
coronation and recitations the queen
with her thirty subjects marched to
royal feast in the green woods. There
were floral decorations, United States
flags floating from the heads Of umbrel-
las, music and boat riding on the pond,
all contributing to the beauty Of the
scene, the enlivenment of the occasion
and the pleasure of those present. All
were pleased with the exercises and
on the return to town each was saying:
Didn't we have good timer" The
children Of Mrs Gardens school will
not soon forget the day spent at Wor-
tham's Spring.
