The GirIy Girl.

The girly girl is the truest
girl. She is what she seems,
and not a sham and a pretense.
The slangy girl has hard job of
it not to forget her character.
The boy girl and the rapid girl
are likewise Wearers of masks.
The girly girl never bothers
about woman rights and woman
wrongs. She is girl, and glad
of it. She would not be a boy
and grow up into a man and vote
and go to war and puzzle her
brain about stocks for king
dom. She knows nothing about
business, and does not want to
know anything about it. Her
aim is to marry some good fell
low and make him a good wife,
and she generally succeeds in
doing both. She delights in
dress and everything that is
pretty, and is not ashamed to
own up that she does. She is
pleased when she is admired,
and lets you see that she is. She
is feminine from the top of her
head to the end of her toes, and
if you try to draw her into the
discussion of dry themes she tells
you squarely that the conversa-
ton does not suit her. She is
the personi6cation of frankness.
There is not particle of huns
bug in her composition. Here
is health to the girly girl. May
her number never grow less

Trust Fund for Which There Is
No Use.

A dispatch from Madison, Ga,
SAYS: "The treasurer Of Morgan
county does not know what dis
position to make of $4,000 now
i'll his possession. In 1913 Ben
iamin Brassell lett $1,000 in
trust, the interest on which has
to 60 toward educating orphans.
Out of the income large num-
Der of orphans were educated and
a fine building erected, which
was destroyed during the war.
A remnant Of the money was
left, however, which was kept
we'll invested, and now it reaches
$4,000 and is steadily growing
The establishment Of a first class
public school system has remov
ed the use for which the money
was intended, aud as the money
can be used for no other purpose
it has become an elephant OH the
hands of the county officers.
Many years ago alleged heirs of
Brassell made an attempt to se>
cure the money, but they were
defeated. The money is now in
vested in Georgia railroad stock,
upon which there is guaranteed
7 per cent. interest.

The following good advice is
| given by the Wilmington, (Del.
Star, which we reprint for the
benefit Of the Elizabeth City
merchants:
Do you want good times?
Then advertise them. Many a
good cause has been won
through the enthusiasm of its
aInerents, and many a good
thing has been brought to pass,
simply through believers III it
resolutcly and incessant y"boom-
ing" it. The merchant who
goes about with a long and sor~
rowful tace> and who sighs like a
lover when the subject of bust
ness is broacEed, scares away
from his store many an intend
ing purchaser. The business
man who, when asked to adver-
tise, W1ings his hands, and, al
most with tears i'll his voice re
plies: "My dear sir, times are
SO hard, and business is SO slow
thatI cannot afford to put one
cent in advertising" hides him
self from the seeker after the
very articles he has for sale;
practically draws his curtains
and closes his doors to the pub
lie. The man who stands at q
door without knocking, simply
trusts to luck to have it opened
to him. The man who socks
his shelves with the best in the
market and then does not adVer
tlSe, simply trusts to the cha1ce
of customers stumbling on to the
bargains he can give them.
The merchant princes of this
country know the value of print,
ers' ink, and the huge fortune
they have made are founded On
the rock of persistent, liberal and
iudicious advertising. Ask any
one Of them and he will tell you
that every dollar spent IN advef>
tising has borne him compound
interest.
Do you want good times? Then
advertise for them. And keep
on advertising Do not overdo
it, but do it steadily and within
your meaus, and put brains III
the work. Change your adver-
tisements frequently, and say
something new to the public
each time, and the result cannot
fail to be satisfactory to you.
