In the hard days when Henry Grady
was struggling against fate to make
his paper success, the merchants had
not yet learned the value of advertis-
ing, and Henry pleaded in vain for a
more liberal patronage. A leading
merchant who claimed to be his friend
stubbornly declined to give him big
"ad," and said it would be money
thrown away, for nobody read them.
Don't read them' exclaimed Henry
don't read them! Well, l will show
you"
Next mornings paper contained a
short editorial on cats, and told how
cat fur had recently come into great
demand in fashionable circles in New
York, and how the long, coarse hairs
were eliminated and the real fur was
made into tippets and muffs, and every
fashiona BILE wore feline, etc Not far
off in another column was a displayed
advertisement that said
"Wanted-1,O0O cats, for which so
cents each will be paid"
The merchants name was signed to
it. BY noon the cats began to roll in.
Small boys, white and black, brought
them in baskets and bags. For while
the merchant enjoyed the joke, but
soon got tired and went away to din
ner.
BY the time he returned, the boys
from the suburbs We're coming in, and
the sidewalk was blockaded. Henry
had laughed until he was exhausted,
and sat on a window sill across the
street, enjoying the fun. Neighboring
merchants and their clerks gathered
around and laughed and shouted and
cried at every new arrival of CATS AS
fast as the merchant drove off one
crowd another filed their places. He
armed himself with big stick, but at
last he closed his doors in sheer despair,
and night relieved him from the pres
sure. But the next morning the catas-
trophe was worse. The catalogue was
not ended, for the country people had
heard the news and brought cats in on
their wagons and under their buggy
seats, and tied up in cotton baskets
like chickens. Henry took his stand
near by and leaned up against tele-
graph pole for support. He and the
folks who loved fun were all there, and
while it was fun for the boys and death
to the frogs, it was such rare and
racy joke that the merchant couldn't
get mad, and finally surrendered He
made an appropriate little speech to
the crowd and told Henry he would
give him the biggest "ad" he had ever
had in his aper.-Atlanta Constitution.

KYLE NO. 2.

Considerable excitement was created
Friday afternoon by the report from
Indian Creek that the Deyonian Oil
Company's Kyle No. 2 was in and flow
ing $50 barrels an hour. A later re-
port had it that the well was not good
for more than 10 or 10 barrels, having
made but one small flow. Still later it
was reported, and probably correctly,
that the well was as good as the No. /,
which was fine strike.

a New Richmond.

There is a new Richmond in the oil
field. Not in the active derrick-decked
field of production, but in the vast field
of distribution, where the Standard
Oil Company has had absolute control
through many year and many bitter
fight.
The name of the new man is S. Y.
Ramage, and his mercantile career has
been meteoric. Ten years ago he was
a penniless oil prospector who trod
the hills of Pennsylvania in rawhide
boots and flannel shirt, seeking the
spots where the exploring drill might
tap the oleaginous veins of mother
earth.
Even now he appears still scarcely
more than a boy, smooth-faced, care
fully-clad, quick-spoken young bust
ness man, such as dozens around him.
But he is man of big affairs.
Almost unknown and without infiu-
ence, operating upon capital consti-
tuted of the small savings of a few
fairly fortunate years as an oil pros
pector, he took up and carried to sue
cessful conclusion a vigorous fight
against the wealthiest and most power
full business corporation in the world.
On Monday morning he departed
from New York to assume what is
practically complete charge of the bus
mess of the Standard Oil Company in
the central and southern states; an
enormous commercial interest which
represents the transfer of 500, 900, 900
year from the pockets of the purchasers
of oil to the tills of the distributing
company.

A murder which occurred Thursday
evening at Fountain Springs, w. Va,
near Parkersburg, is causing consider
excitement james Stephens and old
bachelor aged 10 years. shot and killed
instantly his nephew, Haidce Compton,
also unmarried. 1t is stated that
Compton had been looking after
Stephens farm, and was at work in the
clearing, and the old man was in an
other part of the farm boiling sugar
water which he gathered from the
maple trees on his place. He found
out that Compton was at work on the
farm and going to the house procured
an old smooth bore musket and went
down to where Compton was and or
dered him off the place. Compton re-
fused to 60 and told the old man to re-
turn to the house and attend to his
own affairs. Stephens raised his gun
and pointed it at Compton, who ad-
vanced toward him with the intention,
it is supposed, of taking the gun away
from him. When only few feet dis

entire charge took effect in his left
side, making terrible gaping wound.
Compton fell and expired without ut
tering a word and Stephens returned
to his work as unconcerned as if moth
ing had happened.
Stephens is now in jail at Parkers-
burg, but friends assert that he is
wrong mentally and not responsible
for the act.
