Points For Advertisers.
From Ad-Art.

The street parade of show is what
the display window is to your store,
but your newspaper advertising must
back it up closely to secure the best
results.
Don't be afraid to advertise freely be-
cause the store front is not the most
attractive. Ifyou have what the peo-
pie want and they fnd it out they will
find you. The quickest way is to tell
them in paper that they all read.
The newspaper advertisement which
says great deal about one subject
will appeal more forclbly to the reader
than a general article which scatters
its force over large number OF items.
1t will make the reader see at a glance
the value of what the firm is talking
about and cause him to appreciate the
knowledge of the goods advertised.
In writing your advertising don't
manufacture an imaginary customer
and try to talk TO him. rake somt
customer you know well. Study what
will interest him. Write your adver-
tisements at him. There are many
utUlt llh6 uilI IL uC 10 Ill dNCi aye III H.
You will reach them that way. I'M
aginary customers don't spend much
money.
In advertising, say something. This
is good advice always. If you are at
traeted by spieler on a street corner
you listen an instant and If he is say
ing anything worth hearing you hear
him through, but if he is talking just
talkp as a sort Of bluff TO lead up to
the place where he will impose upon
the people, you pass on. People are
willing to listen to your talk 10 your
advertising SO long as you say some
thing that is really interesting or BEN
efcial, but you cannot expect them TO
follow you through column or point
less talk that could have been con-
desned into few lines. Select your
topic, tell what there IL OF interest
about it in an entertaining way and
then Quit

Theatrical Notes.

There wasn't vacant seat in the
house on Saturday evening when the
curtain rose on "York State Folks"
The play was one of the prettiest and
most delightful ever presented on any
stage. The audience enjoyed it from
start to finish. The company was
well balanced and every member of
the company was an actor. Simon
Peter Martin made a great hit being
probably the best Of the lot.
This evening IA Royal Prisoner"
will be presented. Mr.. True S. James
is the star. He will be remembered
as having played opposite Robert
downing in "Damon and Pythias"
some years ago. He made many
friends on this appearance in Morgan
town and they will be out in full force
this evening. Ii is said that he has
improved very much even over his
past attachments.
Frank q. Campbell and company
will present 1.-THE Caroliniann ON Fri
day night. This play was written by
Mr.. Campbell after long residence
among the people whom he has por-
trayed. The company will be assisted
by the Nashville students famous

A CRACKER JACK
Is the New Burglar and Bomb Proof
Safe Bought by the F. & NJ. Bank.

The Farmers & Merchants Bank
is always on the lookout for every
possible protection of the. various
interests OF that bank and, with this
end in view. recently purchased a Mos
Ter Corliss Bank Safe This safe has
arrived and will at once be placed in
position in the lobby of the bank.
1t is what is universally recognized
as an absolutely burglar and mob
proof structure and banks through
out the country leave the safe out
side the vault knowing it is as safe
from all attacks there as it would be
If placed in the vault.
The safe in question weighs about
10000 pounds and Is composed OF
one thickness of solid gun metal
throughout, and consequently with
out joints, bolts or riveis found in
the ordinary square door safes. The
safe consists of sphere within a
sphere. The inner sphere, which
performs the functions of the door,
is larger than the opening in the out
err sphere, and has steps to meet cor
responding steps in the outer sphere
which are ground absolutely air
tight When these steps are brought
together. the inner sphere is perfect
ly maintained against all outward
pressure by means of an expanded
ring, which enclrcles the entire cir
cumference of the inner sphere. This
ring is made slightly shearing and
is planned so as to accurately fit the
corresponding slot in the outer
sphere. When the safe is closed
and locked, and this ring is expand
so that one half remains in the inner
sphere and the other half in the
other sphere, 1t becomes an immense
bomb, absolutely proof against the
practical use of explosives.
With their money and securities
locked up in such a safe as this, the
officers Of this bank can leave their
work knowing that when they return
the next morning, they will find the
money and securities perfectly safe.
An expert will be here shortly to in
stall the safe.

Problem solved.

WESTON, Feb. 15-Representatives
Of the Beaumont Glass Company, of
Martins Ferry, Ohio, are looking for
ground for the relocation Of their
plant. There is talk of the sale by
Bannister and Brown, the Morgan
town people who have contracted to
put in plant here, to these people.
1t is now very evident that the Nor
gantown people cannot put in the
plant within the 80 days during which
they were to complete it, and the
sale of their holdings to the Beaumont
people appears to be the natural solu-
tion Of the problem.

WILL AGAIN CONTRACT.
M0rgant0wn Planning Mill is Doing a
Tremendous Business.

AGtmtnuUuS DuSAneSS.
We have located in our midst one
of the best Planning Mill Plants in
West Virginia.
This has gradually grown from a
comparatively small concern to a
complete Factory employing from
10 to 30 men owing to the season of
the year, they have recently put in
several new and up-ro date machines
and are'now well equipped for doing
the most intricate work Their EN-
ployes are all thorough mechanics
selected from all parts OF the coun-
try. They did last year over eighty
thousand dollars worth Of business
and want to double that this year if
possible, and Judging by their i'm
mense stock of lumber, Sash, doors,
shingles, lath, lime, cement, glass,
oils, paints etc. we have no doubt
they will do it.
Their lathe for doing iron work
has been kept busy since it was in
stalled last spring This is probably
because everybody knows that Mr.
James nj. Hogue is skilled ma
chanic and any work intrusted to
him will be carefully done and at
living prices, every department has
been re-arranged SO that orders can
now be gotten out on shortest notice
possible.
They have decided to again enter
into the contracting business and
have secured the services of com
petent Foreman, who can be found
at their office for the purpose of
making estimates &c. We believe
it will be to the advantage OF any
person contemplating building to
see them at the office OF the Nor
gantown Planning Mill Co. Beech

Awarded TO Miss Bessie HOlt-Prize
for Best Defamation Divided and
Awarded to Miss Anna l.. Hall and
Miss Birdie MartIn-Large atten-
dance at Contest.
LAUREL PoINr, Feb. 17.-Some-
time Superintendent Stephen Mason
announced that through the kind
ness of S. f. Glasscock of Morgan.
town two prizes had been offered to
the pupils of the public schools of
the county. They were for essay
and defamation. The essay con
test was to be private and that in
defamation to be held in public.
The contest in defamation was
held at Laurel Point February 18th.
The essay submitted aud had been
previously examined and the prize
awarded to Miss Bessie Holt of Gin
ton district. All the papers sent in
were very we'll written The follow
ing persons were in competition for
the prize for the best ESSAY: Bessie
Holt, Emma Lining, Pearl Granlee,
Jettie Pearl Tenant, Nellie Shut
Ellsworth, John Devine and Artie
Hall.
The great interest in the deelama.
ton contest was manifested by the
large crowd that was in attendance
and by the number that rendered
selections. At least four districts
Of the county were represented. Su
perintendent Mason was chosen
chairman OF the meeting, and he APP
pointed Mr.. w. K. Martin to serve
as judge in connection with L. G.
Snyder and w. I'll. Asheraft. The
following persons were the declaim-
ers: Maud Morris, Harry Fetty,
Grace Lough, Gay Cannon, Georgia
Newbraugh, Anna l. Hall, Susie
Layton Blake Snyder, Nellie Barker,
Della Shanes, Jessie Higgins, Anna
Ella Hall, Fora b. Hall, Eta Morris,
Kate Morris, Reitz Tucker, Birdie
Bailey, and Bessie Holt.
The contest was very close and it
was difficult to determine who should
receive the prize. The judges finally
decided to divide the fifteen dollars,
and give Miss Annie L Hall ten
dollars and Miss Birdie Bailey five.
Although all should receive great
praise, the following especially de
serve honorable mention: Susie
Layton, Fora b. Hall, Fetty and
Bessie Holt.
All recognize that contest like
this can hardly be decided in way
that will suit every one, but we know
that great good came out of it, and
that the contestants have gained
something by their efforts.

found dead in his room at the Tavern
Saturday afternoon at $3.50 o'clock,
having committed suicide.
Mr.. jennings came to the Tavern
Friday evening and engaged a room
for the night. He ate supper and
went to his room early in the evening.
Nothing more was heard OF him and
as he did not put la his appearance
In the morning, an effort was made
TO enter bis room In the afternoon to
investigate the matter. The door was
locked from the inside but Ii was
forced open and a horrible scene was
witnessed.
Jennings was sitting upright in a
chair dead, with his brains blown out
with revolver. The weapon was
found by bis side. Those about the
hotel claim that no report OF the re-
yolver was heard during the night
and IL is not known what time the
deed was committed.

Action May Be Postponed.

II the consideration of the treaty is
not concluded Monday it's final dispo-
sition probably will be postponed for
several days, as Senator Lodge has
agreed to sidetrack the Philippine
bill only for one day. With reference
to the Philippine bill it is altogether
probable that a vote will be reached
during the latter part of the week.
The Democrats have been in confer
ence on the subject, and have reached
the conclusion that they would be
able to conclude their presentation OF
their opposition TO the bill in few
more speeches. An agreement fixing
time to vote is likely to be reached
Tuesday, and the indications now are
that next Friday or next Saturday
will be named as the day Tor deciding
the fate of the bill.
There are few set speeches to be
delivered on the bill, but most of the
speeches toward the close of the de-
bate will be brief.
BY unanimous consent the census
bin will be disposed of after the Dan
ish treaty, and before the debate on
the Philippine bill Is taken. 1t Ia ex.
pected that a vote will be reached on
the census bill after very little more
debate.
