His subject was ''Rules.' 1t was a
discussion Of the application Of rules
or laws-divne and human, to the
conduct and affairs of men. Primary
principles were presented in man
ner comprehensive by the young, and
developed and applied with such
breadth and fulness as to command
the attention and interest of the oldest
present; withal it was characterized by
that originality and individuality pc
culiar to Mr.. Hicks-in some parts
riyaling his best efforts at the Bar.
Other gentlemen have been engaged
to speak from time to time during the

Changing His Business.

MIR. n. Lehman has decided to dis
continue the clothing business in Hen
derson, and will in future nfne HIM
self exclusively to dry goods and no.
tons, fancy goods, shoes, hats, furni-
ture and house furnishing goods of every
description. He says his large and
growing trade from the ladies has
forced him to do this. His entire stock
of clothing has been shipped to Chase
City, where he has opened branch
store. Mr.. Lehman tells US that his
trade in the above mentioned line has
greatly increased within the past year
or two and in order to be able TO ac-
commodate it he decided to drop out of
the clothing business here altogether.
He has opened a fresh and much larger
stock in the lines named and will here
after give his entire time and attention
to this branch Of trade. In the furni-
ture department he has large and
elegant assortment Of everything from
single chairs to chamber and parlor
sets, rugs. carpets, lace curtains, &c,

Making Hard Times.

People unwittingly do much to make
hard times This is done i'll various
ways, but one of the most etfectual
ways is by talking hard times-grumb-
ling and complainins-just as If that
would help things any. 1t only makes
matters worse Here Is how it is done,
as described by Nathaniel G.. Fowler:
Ninety per cent. of that which makes
hard times is due to the general feeling
that times are hard.
One man finds times hard with him,
and he tells the second man that bust
ness is bad, and then the two men to-
gether tell four men, and the four men
tell eight men, and the eight men tell six
teen men, and the sixteen men tell thirty
two men, and by-and-by all men think
that business has gone to the dogs, but
none of them have ever visited the ken
nels to personally investigate the where
abouts of the business that disappeared.
Men growl instead of work, and at the
slightest provocation make times bad
for Others by making them bad for
themselves

BY the agreement made between
the Democrats and Populists for fusion
on the electoral ticket, Mr.. Il. T. Gar
rett, of Vance, who had been named
as one Of the electors-at- Large by the
Populist State convention comes down.
We suppose this is agreeable to Mr..
Garrett He had said he would not
accept tile nomination if the silver
forces were not united in some way,
and even under the present arrange
ment we take it that with him patrl-
Otlsm will give way to any personal
ambition he may have had in the mat

fully given to furthering the interests
of his candidacy for Sheriff than if he
had remained in the field as one of the

have been to make at least a partia |

A Story With a floral

You are a merchant and want to sell
goods. Invite people to your store.
You have bargains to offer. Let the
public know it, How can you do this
better than by an advertisement ID the
paper? Don't wait for them to come OF
their own accord but hold out some III
ducement to compel them to come.
Tell them you are i'll business to do
business and that you can make 1t TO
their interest to do business with them.
Don't do like the boy who had rabbits
TO sell but carried them back home be-
cause no one asked him what lie had IN
his bag. The following story is told by
an exchange and it points moral: "a
boy went to market with a sack full OF
rabbits and fingered long in town.
When asked by his mother why he had
not sold his rabbits he said no one had
asked him what he had in the sack.
How many merchants are like this boy?
They have plenty Of goods for sale, but
fail to tell the people What is in the
sack. If you expect to sell goods IN
this day and age you must open your
sack and keep shouting the merits Of
Your stock in trade, and don't fail to
advertise freely in your county news

About Dull Season Advertising.

In dull times it is much harder to
bring people to the store, but that is
one reason why moro advertising
should be done and better ads should be
used.
If possible, in dul! seasons, m ore in
ducements should be held out to the
customer than in brisk seasons More
care should be used in selecting articles
to be advertised and more thought
should be given to ads to bring trade
to your store, but, however, you may
view this subject, do not under any cir
cumstances drop your advertising en-
tirely when the dull season comes.
If you discontinue advertising en-
tireiy, you are leaving out some of the
bricks in the wall which you are con-
structing and will lose large portion
of the benefits of cumulative ads when
you begin again, there having been a
disconnection in what you did before
and that which you now intend to do.
The benefits to be derived from adj
vertsing are in the future as we'll as
what you may get at the present. Ad-
vertsing is something like making a
snowb all-the farther you go the big
ger it grows. If, after you have rolled
your SNOWFALL little distance, you
stop rolling it. and begin another one,
YOU are expanding au extra labor in
stead of accommodating, while if you
had kept on rolling the old ball il
would soon grow to much larger pro-
portions than any new one you could
start.
In dull times, as we have said, more
care than ever should de used in the
preparation Of the ads. When the fish
is harder to catch, be more care.

Some Advertisers.

oOAAlI fAutS AASClS.
Some advertisers advertise part Of
the time.
Some advertisers advertise the whole
time.
The advertiser who advertises a part
of the time may make money.
The advertiser who advertlses all the
time almost always makes money.
1t doesn't make any difference what
YOU think, or what l think. when the
fact stares both of Us in the face. that
while all who advertise may not make
money, few make money who do not
advertise, and that those who advertise
all the time.
There may be several men III your
town who have fairly well succeeded
| with advertising part OF the time.
but if YOUR town is like most towns.
the men who succeed all the time are
the men who advertise all the time.
When times are good, advertising,
pays, because although there may be
much advertising there is much buy
| ing.
When times are bad. advertising
pays. because although lneTe may DC
| little buying, there is little advertising;
| and the man who advertises is more
| conspicuous, and stands more in class
by himself. and draws from those who
| don't advertise the business that might
be theirs if they did advertise.
Dull time advertising, sometimes
pays better than good time advertising
because some people are buying all
the time, and they are more likely to
buy of the man who advertises. than
| of the man who doesn't. -Erchdnge
