NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING,
Achieved by the Judicious Use of
Printers Ink.

Says an exchange OH the subject of
newspaper advertising and the value
of it:
All who have made CONSPICUOUS sue
cess in the business world know the value
of newspaper advertising. They have
learned that if a man has anything to
sell and wants to sell it he must tell peo-
pie about it, or else he stands poor
chance of parting with his goods to the
best advantage And there is no surer
or better way OF doing it than through
the columns OF the newspaper.
However, haphazard advertising will
OF course, not pay. The advertising must
be looking after, kept up-to-date and tell
Just what you want it to tell. Advertis-
ing to pay must be judicious.
The successful business man who wants
to develop his business and lift it from
the ruts. advertises; not simply because
ury,' but because he must spend money
factory progress.
In connection with this subjects recent
editorial in the Wilson Times is of value
to every business man. 1t says:
There are three necessary requisites
to make advertising pay The proper
medium, the proper goods and what to
say.
''An advertisement should be OCCASION
ally changed, and always, if possible,
offer either bargain or tell your readers
of some new article of food or clothing
on your shelves. The people want some
thing new. A paper with a diversity of
reading, on all interesting subjects, is the
one most in demand, and the merchant
who can afford his customers some deli
cacy every day, or something on the
latest shade of apparel is the one whose
advertisement is read, and why? Be
cause people want the latest and newest
things. They don't always know what
this is; and the merchant who can tell
them, and at the same time sell it, is the
one who will win their confidence and
their trade

Ole GOLD LEAF.
Monument to Warren Confederate
Dead.

From the Raleigh Post of recent
date we take the following, which is
of local interest:
One of the handsOmest statues seen in
Raleigh in man, L day has just been re-
ceived by Mess's. Cooper Bros.
The statue is one designed for the War
renton Confederate monument by Messrs.
Cooper and was executed from the ia
nous Carrara marble and by the noted
artist Mr.. Harry Dempster. The statue
is beautiful one to keep watch over the
silent Confederate dead buried on the
hillside overlooking the little city of War
rentOn and represents a private uniform,
almost at parade Rest''-except an
easier position, arms folded and SLOUGH
hat held lightly in one hand-with blan-
ket tied around the waist.
The features are noble, expressing cour-
age and tirmness, determination min
gled with tenderness, perhaps thinking
of the far away home and the lovely
wife and sweet little ones Truly an ar
fist executed this, as it is so life-like that
one gazing Obout expects it to speak.
This beautiful monument is the result
OF the untiring efforts of the Confederate
Aid Society Of which Mrs Lucy L. Polk,
the sister-in-law of President James K
Polk, is President and Mrs. V. L. Pendle-
ton is Secretary.
The Aid Society has done good work
as this beautiful monument will attest.

1t is just habit he has fallen into.
There is nothing the matter with him.
1t is just bad habit
| The wilmer rs generally an idle person
or lazy one What he needs is to be set

physical. Some work that will interest
him and engage his whole attention and
he will not have time to whine
| We know two women. One of them
does her own Homework and takes care
OF her horse besides She is happy and
singing all the day long. The Keyboard
OF her life sounds no whining note. 1t is
a pleasure to be with her, a good, whole
some tonic to watch her.
| The other woman is so situated that
she does not have to work. Nothing to
do but to amuse herself She has no zest
in life, no interest in anything She is a
bunch of selfishness and whines at every
thing. Whining has become such habit
with her that her most casual remark is
tinged with a whine She is miserable
herself and makes everybody else in her
| presence miserable. She is weakling. a
parasite. a drag, a heavy weight on
somebody all the time
| Get the whine out of your voice, or it
will stop the development and growth of
