Tie recent statement of the condition
of the postal savings banks in Great
Britain tells its own story as to what
these institutions are doing for the pc
pie over there. The report, which is
is furnished by the British postmaster.
general, shows that the deposltors come
from ali classes OF employes-from la.
borers, agriculturists and tradesmen.
The increase in the number Of depositors
in 1896 over 1895 was s344. S34. The in
crease at the end Of the year over the
previous fiscal year was i0S, ABS. In all.
G,S62,035 out of a population of 100000
are depositors. owning, among them, de-
posts amounting to s3i0,00O.0oO, or an
amount equivalent TO 2li per capita for
the entire population of Great Britain.
No feature OF the report. however, is
more noteworthy than the statistics as 10
the number of women who have bank
accounts against the British government.
More than half, or 5o.il per cent, OF the
whole number Of deposltcrs are women.
This speaks for itself. both as TO the
need Of postal banks and as to their
workings IN promoting thrift and
prosperity.

A School Girls Nerve


Mothers who have young daughters y,

carefully than their studies. The proper

should be taken. 1t is better that their

OPENINGS.
''Where Do They Come From and Where
Do They Go To-

''"here 40 1hey come FROM and where
Do They Go To-"
Fall is the season of natural selling.
The merchant is through with his
summer vacation and is physically and
mentally prepared for business. The
inside and the outside Of the store
have been renovated. The schools
are open. The wife is preparing to
do what is to be done and what she
has put off doing. People are feeling
we'll, for there is a sense of buOyancy
pervading the atmosphere. The adver-
tiser who is ready with his goods, and
has been ready with his advertising,
receives the bulk OF this business.
Such concern in this particular
instance is that of Schiller & Wege-
mann, whose fall and winter cloth
ing sale is now going on. Their stock
is made up of fashions fabrics contain
ing so many attractive features that
they require the sense of sight to
grasp the splendor of their exhibition
the novelty Of their styles and the ex-
clusiveness of their patterns. These
popular and progressive purveyors of
male attire are certainly a credit to
WatertOwn, especially in their methods
of original advertising and up-to- the
minute merchandising. Their views on
publicity as per a recent interview
with this hustling house, are certainly
worthy of comment, such as: ''There's
never a run on the market of truth. y
sIIhnpn iC y,nthi,,cr
pertinent or of lasting benefit in any
medium of publicity not founded upon
the whole of the truth. .sSwindling
in advertising is the short run to busi-
ness and the short run out of business. :"
Common school education and uni
versal enlightenment are reaching into
the byways and highways of public
life; people today know spade when
they see a spade, and a heart when
they see a heart" The uselessness
of dishonesty in advertising is written
over the graves of hundred thous-
and advertisers"
Such business men deserve the con-
fidence of a community, and judging
from what price tickets caught the
hurried eye of the writer, confidence
in their values is a foregone conclu-
sion. Messrs. Schiller & Wegemann
have the exclusive control of the
famous X, n & f Co. clothing, so
synonymous now for "style, service,
satisfaction Their newspaper ad-
vertisements are business news ond
models of attractiveness.

John Temple Graves.

Lovers of high class entertainment
have fine treat in store in the lecture
to be given next Monday evening at
Turner Opera house by John Temple
Graves. His subject will be 1.-The
Reign of the Demagogue," and lead
ing critiques pronounce it a most ex-
traordinary effort, both as to thought
and delivery. As an eloquent and
gifted speaker, Mr.. Graves has few
equals in this country.
Kentucky's noted orator, George W.
Balm, considers The Reign of the
DemagOgue" the finest GRAFTON in the
language.
DR.. Charles Foster Smith, professor
of Greek In the University of Wiscon-
sin, pays the lecturer this glowing
compliment: 'sNo speaker of the nine
teenth century, within my observa-
ton, more nearly resembles the Greek
Demosthenes in method of expression
and in inspiration of delivery than
John Temple Graves, of Georgia"
President Mckinley says of him:
lone of the most brilliant and beauti-
full speakers 1er listened to-"
And so on, the encomiums from prom
inent people are without mum Der.
From all of which we are to Judge
that in Mr.. Graves Watertown is to
be afforded a splendid treat which
none should miss. Reserved seats
may be had at Gamm's drug store.

Good Goods, Well Advertised.

Going the rounds of the press is an
item stating'thatthe Royal Baking Pow
der company is the largest advertiser
in America. OF course, the business it.
self must be an enormous one to Justify
SO great an expenditure in publicity.
There is no fallacy more dangerous
than that success can be gained by
advertising an article Of Indifferent
merit But, given an article of the
highest quality like Royal Baking
Powder, which when the housekeeper
has once used she finds if she desires
the best food she cannot do without,
then the greatest measure of success
is attained by keeping it continually
before the public. Great merit and
good advertising are both essential to
make a product a great success. The
Royal Baking Powder possessing the
first, its proprietors have wisely used
the second, and the result is apparent
throughout the land. The Royal COM
pany believe that there is no medium
for advertising like the newspapers,
since inIthese enlightened days every
body reads them.

years, during which time his
every energy has been towards
the growth and betterment Of
the city. From a small begin
ming he has assisted in erecting
an extensive manufacturing CON
Germ which gives employment to
a large force and is recognized
as one Of our leading and most
substantial institutions. He is
also interested in other business
affairs here, and is withaI a
public spirited and prominent
citizen, always ready and will
ing to lend aid and encourage
ment to anything that portends
to the city's good.
With these facts admitted, Mr..
Stone goes before the people as
a most worthy home candidate,
and we hold that home candi-
dates, when worthy, are always
entitled to due consideration.
Mr.. Stone, while a staunch Re-
publican, has never been an Of
fensive partisan, and he counts
his friends by the legion among
parties Of different politicalcon1-
plexlon. He is certainly worthy
of a handsome home endorse
ment and we trust that our
people will so favor him.
Mr.. Stone is generally referred
to as the most popular nominee
on the present Republican state
ticket, a fact brought about by
his uniform fealty to his party
and the zeal with which he has
labored for it's success; also by
his extensive business acquaint-
ance, honorable dealings and
friendly, cordial feeling for ali.
For the position he seeks he is
we'll equipped by legislative ex-
perlence, having served three
terms III the lower house. Dur
ing his last tern1-the session of
,97-he was one of the foremost
leaders and q most influential,
efficient and upright member.
