LOOKING FOR LOCATION.
MIR. James r. Duffln wants TO Invest
In Greenwood Rea! Estate.

Mr.. Jas. r. DuGfin Of Louisville, Ky,
who purchased the bankrupt stock Of
the Dickson Company on last Saturday,
has written his agent here to purchase
lot and build house for permanent
store in Greenwood.
Mr.. DuGn Is one Of the most promi-
nent lawyers in Kentucky and man Of
considerable wealth. He was greatly
impressed with the growing city Of
Greenwood and believes that the pro-
posed Investment will yield good re-
turns.
The price paid for the Dickson stock
by Mr.. Dunln was $500, but he assum-
cd taxes and other liabilities to the
amount of 1892 additional. lie also
purchased stock to the amount of $500
in the Greenwood Furniture Company
for which he paid par.
Mr.. DuHln has been trying for the
past several days to secure house in
which to continue the sale of the Dick.
son stock, but so far has failed to do so,
as every store in tho city is occupied.
The building where the stock is now
located is to be occupied by Mr.. W. r.
Fountain now in few days.
Messrs. j. ID. Dickson and c. H. Thomas
arc conducting the sale in the absence
of Mr.. DulIln, who left Sunday for
Louisville.

AntiseptiC MuI-en-oI

Antiseptic MuI-cn-ol is not altogether
for external use for bruises and pains,
but is equally serviceable in cramps,
collie, diarrhea, indigestion, and other
nervous disorders, wherever the ordin-
ary cholera mixture or paragoric would
be indicated. Mul-en-o is not "just as
good" it is better.
While Antiseptic Mul-en-ol has
achieved great triumphs as an external
remedy, its use internally has shown
marvellous results. 1T has no superior
for cramps, vomiting, chronic diarrber.
BY its powerful antiseptic action, it
sweetens foul stomach or disordered
bowels, and brings about speedy and
thorough cure.
Antiseptic Mul-en-ol is really the
ideal Antiseptie, II takes the place q
all drugs for quick and certain relief Of
pain. Sprains and bruises yield TO
Mul-en-ol when other medicines fail.

dozen persons, among whom were FIVE
officers Of the Mississippi National

THIS WAY
LIES SUCCESS.

The man who lets people know
what he is doing is usually the
successful man. No man ever got
into the swim by Incidence or
silence. Business runs in cur
rents as well as water or cleo
tricity, and the men who succeed
are those who either get into the
current or turn the current their
way.
It will not do to simply put
goods of superior workmanship
on the market, convinced that
the people Will discover them
and purchase them. Such goods
must be advertised. The people
must be told what they are,
how and by whom they are
made and where they can be
obtained.
What is true OF the individual
manufacturer and merchant is
also true of trade organizations
and even Of cities and common
wealths. Many prosperous Ameri-
can municipalities have been
largely built up in this way by
advertising the advantages they
offer as places Of residence or as
locations for profitable indus
tries.
Many states have prosperous
settlements which resulted from
business energy and advertising.
Advertising pays the merchant,
city or state which depends upon
it for the movement Of business.
Money spent in advertising is
never wasted il good scdium
is secured. Norwich Conn Tn
