Mrs. Anne Bozeman Lyon Says
 of "The Leopard's Spots.'

(PubIished at $1.50-Here at f.10)
 Mr Dixon arouses such wh1rl or emotions in the minds of his readers that if is almost impossible to pro duce A coherent review of his book. Rut primarily, one feels after laying if aside. as one does when a vast, clear wave throws one back upon sunlit shore, tingling with expectancy and yet little bruised from a com bat with stupendous forces. And what large issues may he not have stirred into life by is daring revela- tion of the canker at the heart of the South? Other men have half-fearfully shown the surface of the evil thing but he has torn aside all concealment and gone into the hideous depths. All though written with the virile simplic- ity of inspiration, "The Leopard's Spots" has some faults which rather tend to increase its wonderful mag netic quality. Historically the DOCK IS supreme, the uterance of prophet; a man whose soul-scorched indiyidu- ality throbs in every page. He must have lived through the bitter days he knows so thoroughly, for each detail of the period following the war IS ac- curately told Nothing is omitted; not even the most abhorrent crimes are passed over. e relates them all with sobs and tears wrung from dire ful experience or deepest sympathy. Verify, it has been given to South erner to write drama that will be read and pondered over, and held as sacred as the epic of great dead race.-The Bookworm.

Reviewers Tell Something About the New and Most Popular Books of
 the Day.
We'll Known Writers
Prominent People of the South Tell in The BookwOrm What They Think of Some of
 the Books.

Each past number of The BookWorm has shown mark ed literary improvement on the preceding number. That it's merit is thoroughly rec ognized here, as it is else where, is unquestioned.
 The literary publications of the East praise it and use ex- tracts from its reviews. and many of the men and women throughout the country prominent in letters have written highly congratulatory letters to the editor. The South has quickly realized it is no mere house organ, and the evidences of this fact are the long and flattering notices ihe BookWorm is each month receiving from the leading papers in the South. Its reVieWers-of which there are over fifty represent those men and women of the South who are today fore most in matters literary, many of them successful as authors; as they are critics" The Age Herald.

tPublished at s1.5o-Here at 1.1s)

(Pupltshed at $l.oo-Here at i.iS)
 'At the risk of being derisively cat alogued old fogy,' we must confess that some of the escapades of the young countess are, to say the least, surprising. Though with us the silver is very perceptibly threading the gold, we have not yet outgrown the old fashioned training that the woman should be sought. Without the whole some bitter of a tonic, there remains little unpleasant flavor in the draught presented for our refresh ment. We cannot wholly banish the unwelcome impression that the ad- vanced, emancipated countess has progressed beyond the modest woman. The desire to redress a wrong for which, though beneficiary, she is in no wise responsible, and the determi- nation to make restitution of proper ty of which the rightful heir was un-

Philosophy
This Is Written to Call Your Attention to the Great
 Advantage of
 Reading
Our Advertising
And to Point Out the PhilOs- ophy of This Advertising So You May Enjoy
 Its Benefits.

To say that our advertising is reore important than any other news in the paper might be saying too much. To say that it is less impor- tant is surely saying too little.
 Our advertising concerns news that tells you how to make your dollar go farthest.
 By reading 1t regularly you are kept informed, too, of the different purchases we make. It concerns not alone things for personal wear, but articles for home use. There is very little, indeed, that you or your husband or your fam fly do not wear, or need in the home, that we cannot supply.
 It pays to read our adver- tising. Reasoning from in duction-take the case of the women's recent suit sale. Unless you had read our ads and learned about the sale sale you might have gone elsewhere and paid 50 per cent more for no better.
 The reason you can buy here for less, is because near ly everyone reads our store news, patronizes cur sales, and so we are able to buy many times more than other stores that lack our capacity for selling. Big buying means small buying prices.
 And then, It we may be pardoned for saying so, our advertising never varies from the actual truth-no coloring mo yielding to the tempta- tion to say 5000 yards of so and so, when there is only, say, 2000. There is wonder enough in the simple truth itself.
 So while we may not pro fess honesty as a virtue, we do practice it as a policy.
 We would no more think of misrepresenting in our ad- vertising than we would if we were talking to you in person-if we buttonholed you on the street and told you of a special sale, and the facts connected with it, you not only would not question our veracity, but acting upon knowledge of the sale, at tend it.
 Do the same thing when We speak to you in our ad- vertisements.
 It's just as personal.
 It's just as honest, sincere and free from exaggeration as if we were talking it over on your front porch at home. The Cleaner.
