FOR CEMENT PAYBMEKTS.

Last week the editor of the
COURIER addressed letter to
Mayor W. L. Rice, of Bristol.
Virginia. asking for information
regarding the cost of cement pave
ments in that city. I'm which there
are no brick pavcments.
The cement. or granolithic. pave
mcntS have been I'm use there for
the past twelve or fifteen years.
and have given perfect satisfaction
i'm every way.
In reply to our letter. Mr.. Rice
says:
The granolithic pavement, If
properly laid, viii last eight to ten
times as long rs ordinary brick.
the cost ranging from l. to Is
cents per yard.
The wide difference I'm cost de-
ponds upon location as to crushed
rock, sand and facilities for put
ting same on the ground. and also
amount of cement used. II YOU
have no rock-crushcr near and
must needs break rock 10y hand.
of course that would add to cost.
IF You wish more detailed
account, l viii gladly give any
information can obtain for You.
Now that the first inquiries have
been made. we trust that the proper
authorities will take mp the matter
and secure figures on the making
of cement pavements In Berryville.
where the facilities are known.
There Is an abundance of stone. a
rock-crusher can Doe secured from
one of the road contractors. and
we believe the sand can be found
without much trouble.
Let the Council 90 ahead with
the matter.

The advertising feature deserves
ali the attention it is getting and
more. 1t Is almost as much a fea-

buying of goods. The retailer who
depends on trade coming to him
without advertising has narrowed
his field more than he needs to do.

ECHOES FROM The GLEN.

We have before us a copy of
Capt. William Page Carriers latest
book of poems, Echoes From the
Glen"
The volume consists of lbs pages.
divided into poems of sentiment.
war poems, dialect verse, Blue
Ridge lore, and miscellaneous
poems.
Every verse is tuneful. and
every theme Is well sung. the
whole being a volume which will
grace and enhance the library or
reading table of any home.
The book, while of greatest in
tereSt to Nirginians, should be APP
preciated by any Southerner.
Captain Carter says he dedicates
this little volume to the memory
of his gentle friend, John Esten
Cooke, and that it was published
more than partly at the request of
his friends. Ii Is we'll for a poet
of Mr.. Carriers ability to have
friends who will urge him to let
his verses be seen in print, for so
many of the true poets have only
been known by their published
works after death.
Echoes From the Glen" has
been read through by the editor.
and 1t was really so good that we
read 1t the second time. We like
It, and we believe others will.
The book was issued from the
Grafton Press, 20 Fifth avenue.
New York, and can be secured
from T. T. Wall, Winchester. who
is the agent for this section. The
binding is blue and gold. a pleas
ing cover to sweet verses.

DO you ADVERTISE?

One must Judge advertising by
its results very largely. and the
best informed of advertisers are
sometimes puzzled by the effect
produced 10y a particular line of
advertising.
1t is well if we can occasionally
get back to the fountain head of
results. from which hint is worth
much more than theorizing. \

pendent TO a large extent upon her

an advertisement at its first and
second appearance, but after that

This Is not entirely new. Some
of the best merchants in the west
have made the same suggestion in
regard TO wholesale advertising.
and the more the tendency to study
advertising grows the more apro-
pos will the suggestion be. The
ad. should be as fresh as the goods
offered and as bright and pleasing
as the service.
