Advertisers and Advertising

There is a great deal of talk about advertising being some thing hard to understand.
 Advertising is the least mys- terious of all things.
 There is nc secret about ad- vertislng. It stands for itself.
 There is more mystery about mo advertising" Once and a while a fellow can plug along and make a small competence, and retire from business fairly we'll to do. The wonder is, "How did he do itl"
 He is generally a man who keeps open from } o'clock in the morning until II at night, burns coal oil, does his own sweeping out, squeezes penny as if 1t were his all, never en- joys himself socially, and IS known Tn the community as an old mossback, but-"he IS honest, and does what he says"
 But the man who advertises out in the broad daylight with each issue of the paper. Everybody knows why he is making money-that he isn't afraid to tell what he has to sell, and what he sells It for and they go to him with the confidence instllled by contin' ued publicity; for no one could advertise to sell gold dollars for 30 cents and do 1t right along, because either the gold dollars would be counterfeit or the man would bust up in business.
 And did you ever notice that the advertiser has a bright, tl dy store! That he is a public spirited citizen! That he and his family enjoy themselves socially.
 That's the reason that advnr tising is not mysterious
 It makes a man of a man It makes him a power in . community.
 Once and a while some mer who advertise don't succeed It is their fault, not the adver tising's fault.
 One of those same men nigh get a bolt of reasonable cloth and shove 1t back on a shel until the edges got faded, ant the goods musty and dusty and it would be valueless.
 Run your advertising as yol do the rest of your business It takes common sense to d. either.
 Do not buy up the sides 0 barns, and cover them witt White aud black paint; do no buy little tin signs to tack around; do not distigure fal mers' fences; no not go int fake schemes.
 Use the newspapers.
 Use the best one in town the one that gees to hundred of families each week, and l read by them. and then hande : over to neighbors to read paper with prestige and intlU ence; a paper that goes to tn homes of the better element ( citizens in the city and count ] -the people whose trades 70 desire. The people who al intelligent enough to make } good living for the family, an } naturally spend money freel [ and yet wisely.
 t That paper is THE SPRING DALE NEWS.
 , It is at your service. Or advertising experience is 6 f your service. Space we chare
 for; advice we give freely.

 Ed. Mason, confined in the county jail on indictment of burglary, played slick trick on the officers last Thursday night and made his escape. The jailor went into the jail just about dark to lock the prisoners ill the cells and while his attention was called to the cell containing a crazy woman Mason slipped out and hid himself in the hallway. After removing enough brlck i'll the wall to let himself out into the corridors he removed the stove drum and the prisoners set up a cry for assistance, saying they were about to be smoked to death. Constable Stokes went after the keys and soon returned to repair the disa bled stove. When he and his as sistants entered the jail they left the outside door open and Mason, taking advantage of the excitement, quietly slipped out. When the jailor went to feed the prisoners Friday even ing he was surprised to find Mason there, ready for his sup pel and to again take up his abode in jail. Ed. says he never intended to escape and only entered into the scheme for a lark. -Bentonville Demo- crat
 A large meteor was observed by several of our citizens last Sunday night which passed over Sulphur Springs Tn north westerly direction at a very low altitude and must have eX- ploded a very short distance northwest of town as a noise equal to a very large blast was heard soon after 1t passed Ov- CT. o. w, Campbell, day ope- rator at the depot, who was at his residence heard the noise and supposed It was some one shooting a heavy blast. Mr.. Rosebruh, night operator, saw the meteor and says 1t passed over about ' o'clock in the ev ening, that 1t was about the size of bushel basket and had a long tail of fire, that was so brilliant it was almost as light as day and that the noise of the explosion was equal to a very large cannon and he thinks the explosion must have taken place near :the northwest part of town as 1t took place very soon after the meteor passed over. .-Sulphar Springs Springs Speaker.

 The meeting of the berry growers and shippers of N. w. Arkansas residing along the line of the Frisco railroad that was held in Springda)e recently was a notable one, and was the inception of a movement that will be of great benefit to all the grow CTS. It will also indirectly beueht the whole of North west Arkansas, for when the producer is prosperous those by whom he is surrounded are necessarily sharers, more or less, in his prosperity. Springdale IS proud of having had the honor of being the first meeting place of the Northwest Arkansas Ship pers' Cooperative Union. The gentlemen present were all highly pleased with the outlook for the coming sea son. The plants are in good condition and a full crop IS promised.

 There are but very few peo ple who have travelled much that have not run up against the bunko-steerer in one form or another. l happened the other day to hear H. A. Dal Iy relate his first and only eX- perience with the confidence man. Blff is no spring chicken and would never be taken for a sucker, but this happened be- fore his eye teeth were cut. and he has often shook hands with himself over the fact that 1t was doubtless the means of saving him considerable mon- ey in after years by putting him Oh his guard when away from home and among strang- CTS. It occurred in 1878 at Vlnita, |. T. MT. Daily was on his way to this country from Texas and was at the depot waiting for a train. He was approached by a gentle man of very pleasing address and apparently social disposl- tion who exhibited what ap- peared, at a casual glance, to be a common pocket knife, but a closer inspection reveal ed the fact that the blade could be opened only by those who understood its workings, and 1t apparently had a rivet through the cen ter of the blade. It was a trick knife. The gentle man tood pleasnre in showing MT. Daily how to manipulate the knife, and after a few min
 utes conversation another gentleman approached them
 representing that he was 2 cattle buyer and asked l either of the others were ac' quainted in Texas as he de. sired to secure the name o cattle owners Tn that country
 On being informed that MT
 Daily was from that sectior { and could probably furnisl
 him the desired information he took pencil and rot' book from his pocket to write down the names. The poin

The owner of the knife said he didn't have the money, but asked MT. Daily to furnish it and he would go him halvers and they would bump the suckers head. MT. Daily told them he only had s7 or S8 but would put that up. This was agreed to and the money was placed in the hands of the owner of the knife, and the man who was looking for cattle magnani- mously agreed to give him five minutes time to open the knife, at the same time turn ing and walking away a short distance. MT. Daily's new found friend then instructed him again as to how the knife was opened. The blade was closed and the man who was throwing his money away was called back to see how nicely 1t could be done. MT. Daily attempted to open the knife, but the pesky thing re- fused to budge. MT. Daily got nervous, and for five min utes he tore finger nails loose in vain effort to open the knife, and finally it dawned upon him that he had been taken in. It was necessary for him to retire to some SC
 cluded nook and rip open his bootleg in order to get mon- ey enough to get out of town. T I I
