T. B. Davis of Patch Grove was
married to a daughter of Marshal
Hinch of Bloomington in that vii
liage in June last. There were were
circumstances in connection with
the nuptials that made it compul-
sOrv affair to an extent and after
the ceremony the bride went one
way and the groom another. A
child was recently born to them and
as the husband and father has con-
tributed nothing towards the sup
port of wife or child an action has
been brought against him for wife
abandonment. Deputy Sheriff Mil
Ter arrested him Monday and brought
him to Lancaster. The case came
on before Justice Wheeler and a
continuance was taken to the 9Th
of February,
The man who quits advertising
may soon be expected to quit bust
ness. There are numbers of people
who want to buy things and are
wondering where they may be OBJ
tanned, and yet no merchant an
nOunces that such goods are carried
by his establishment nor does he
make it plain that people could afford
to buy them if he does happen to say
they are in stock. Some merchants
say they don't advertise certain
things because there is no call for
them. Another very good business
man said he never advertised an ar
ticle that was in great demand but
always paid attention to advertising
what people never ask to see. He
said it cave people the impression
that if they wanted something out
of the ordinary his was the place in
which to find it. If they wanted
something which was not usually
carried they came to him first to
supply that peculiar want. He
said they naturally knew that
the staple things were on his
counters and that he was always
prepared to sell them the best of
what was offered He said they had
bought Of him so long that when
they had the usual wants, his was
the natural place to go. That was
why he kept hammering at the
things which nobody asked to see.
That was why his store got to be
place where people came seeking for
the odds and ends, or the novel, and
new goods that are always more or
less attractive and frequently high
priced. He by his policy taught
them to come to his store for the
thing they wanted, and he made
an impression by his action and his
business prospered in consequence.
