ADVER-
TTSEMENT.

Under the heading Neurological" ="
the esteemed Mobile Register seems to
combine a nice sense of business and
pleasure. Having furbished up our
Latin. we are enabled to announce that
"necrological'' is equivalent to saying
pertaining to death" We had sus-
pected this before going to the die
tionary owing to some neat announce
ments under the head referred to set
ting forth the virtues of certain citi-
zens Of Mobile who had departed prior
to the Christmas holidays.
At the next announcement in the
column we pricked up our ears:
''Loungirg Robes, Smoking Jackets,
Dressing Gowns and Office Coats The
best line at Myers the Halter" pro-
-ceeded the directory of the deced-
ents.
This had the air of a pointer and
we continued:
weather Strips make warm rooms,
save doctors bills" was a cheering
announcement. The climate was not
SO hot and the fear ola chill was more
than grateful.
The Register, however, was determ-
ined that it's patrons should not lose
their friends even if they went to a
cold climate for in the next paragraph
we read:
Parties intending to ship Christ
mas presents to distant friends for de-
livery during the holiday season, are
requested to do SO as early as POSI-
BILE. insuring greater care in handing,
and promptneSS in delivery. Locai
agents of the Southern Express CO.
are prepared to furnish you with SUIT
able labels for address, stickers FOR
date of delivery of packages. and use
full information as to proper manner
of packing and marking your Christ
mas packages.
And if one cared to follow the lead,
il was succinctly announced: Chicago

And then. on arrival: "Try Blenviile

After which, to cap direction WE'D
gertrude. we are informed that Roche
Undertaking Company is open all
night, that it has Bell phone 54 ana
Home, 80, to say nothing of ambulance
service at all hours.
From which we conclude and so rec
|ommend that if perchance one should
have a certified tip as to the arrlVai
of the Angel of the darker drink
he would not go amiss to travel even
to Mobile before becoming a necrolog-
ist Certainly the advantages of that
citv are up-to-date, elegant and suited
to the moribund and connected win
speedy transit and prompt service u

In the day when it is only left 10
rs to necrologiZe we hope to drag d
wav to Mobile and there out-ht our
selves as per our suspicious as to tram

HYDE IN HIGH SOCIETY.

MarshVille Home
Parents should watch closely after
their boys who are entering their
teens. Over in Mecklenburg it was
reported last week that a 22-year-old
girl had slipped up to mans house
and had stolen his 17-year-old son,
carried him off and married him.
When girls get to stealing boys
from their parents that way it's time
for parents to watch more closely and
try to protect their boys, for in the
silent watches of the night some girl,
who wants a husband, may slip up and
carry a bright and hopeful son away
and have herself married to him be-
fore she can be overtaken. 1t might
be well to let the boys sleep where
YOU can watch after 'em and save EN-

that more care and better cultivation

Paul Morton, Ryan's man at the
head of the Equitable, has written
the Manufacturers Record that the
society will not do any advertising
with the press of the country until the
newspapers have quit filling their
columns with articles about the evils
of insurance" Although there has been
no charge of evils of insurance but
only an expose of corrupt manage
ment, Morton is probably wise i'm de-
Gliding not to advertise further at this
juncture. When the abuses against
which the press has cried out have
been corrected, the press will be as
quick to advertise that fact as it was
to call attention to the scandal. In
the meantime, no advertisement Will
have weight so long as Mr.. Morton is
in control. The Gibralta of the pub

will take more than calendars and
pictures of pyramids of surpluses to
