A Gauge.
One of the best ways Of Judging
of an advertisements pulling
power is to put yourself in the
place of the prospective purchaser
aud gauge the effect Of the adver-
tisement upon yourself. If it pro-
duces in your mind a sort Of de-
sire to try the goods-a degree of
curiosity about them, whetted by
the manner of talking about them
in the INSTRUMENTATION it is
pretty fair to conclude that the
advertisement ought to bring re-
suits, and vice versa.-Grocery

The Excursion to Wilmington OF.


Very much to their regret our
Baptist people were compelled to
abandon their proposed excur-
sion to Wiilsil1stonFriday. This
was1nade necessary by the fact that
the Seaboard Ait Line notified
Mr.. R.. D. Caldwell, the manager,
that the. demand for cars for their
regular service to those who de-
sired to attend the Southern Bap-
fist Convention make it impossi-
BILE for them to furnish the spe-
1 cial train.
The manner in which the rail
4 road company acted, first quoting
a price for special train and thel
declining to furnish it after the
excursion had been advertised, i!
being criticised, and justly SO
for the people should not have
been misled. However, there l.
4 no help for it now and the excur
| sion will not be run Friday.
Believing that the people will en-
! Joy and patronize an excursion a
at a later date, Mr.. Caldwell hash
: abandoned the idea entirely, ant
authorizes us to announce tina
one will be run about the first Q
: Juue. This excursion, like tn
one proposed for Friday, will b
made up entirely Of home people
, Fuller particulars will be give

ing of citizens was held in the
court house Friday evening to
name candidates for mayor and

harmonious one. Mayor E. K.

the objects for which the citizens
had assembled.
As soon as business was declared
in order Mr.. J. H. Morrison nom
mated Mayor Proctor as a candi-

carried. The same motion was
made as to Messrs. T. A. McNeill.

and I. \ Higley, the old board
of commissioners, who were renom-
mated without dissenting vote.
After the nominations Mayor
Proctor saasse a short speech, out
lining IN part the policy proposed
by himself and his associates in
case-they were elected.
The!meeting, as above said, was

bright aud humorous things were
said before and after the nomina.
lions were made and it adjourned
in the best sof 1rumor, everybody
being satisfied at the results.
