1t IS always safe rule in bust
ness to follow along the lines laid
down by the men who get there.
Some men in business say that
advertising doesn'tpay. What about
the millions spent in that way by
the big catalogue houses? Can
you say they are just giving their
money away to help the printer
When money is scarce or high
priced you must offer greater in
ducementS to get it.
The successful office seeker
talks the people into giving him
what he wants, and so it is with the
successful merchant he never lets
up asking the people to trade with
him.
Did you ever know merchant
that was good newspaper adver-
tiSer to fail in business? Short
crops and unforeseen reverSeS may
get him down, but they never keep
him there--he always rises again.

nothing in way of comparison tc
the excitement created among the
citizens Wednesday morning by
the arrival in town, from PlainVieW,
of three bales OF cotton. The cot
ton was bought by A. L. Anderson
and sent here for shipment. The
fact that this is the first cotton ev-
err brought here causes some to
speculate on its growth on the

thing could surely be reckoned with
some degree of reason in the event
that it is made a leading crop in
