You can't Judge the value
OF a newspaper as an adj
vertising medium solely
by the number Of pages
it prints. The newspa-
per with the m O st

than not, the newspaper
with the smallest cir
cu!ation.
Nowadays. people
like to have the News of
the Day served briskly
and crisply. They want
to find all the news in
their newspaper, b t
they don't want to wade
through a lot of bluff to
get at the real meat.
Nowadays the adver-
tiser doesn't accept the
average circulation state
ment without doing a
little probing on his own
account. The returns
he gets from his adver-
tisements tell him all he
wants to know about cir

This city is in ferment so far as the
colored population is concerned The
cause is the trouble now existing in the
Court Street Baptist Church, one Of
the largest and most Influential bodies
in the state.
The trouble dates back some sixteen
months ago, the fight against certain
teachers led to war upon the school
trustees through the council. The
conservative Democratic element won
as against the liberals. 1t is said that
Rev. p. F. Morris, pastor of the church
in question supported the conservative
Dsmocratie element.
