There was an awful cry for

could get wood from the Compa-

The Enterprise is authorized to
invite the friends of the Beaure-

will be conducted by Rev. /. w.

The man that will conduct a
coal and wood yard in Wesson and
keep a good supply on hand at all
times will make all kinds of mon

The editor has had several good
propositions from other towns to
move our printing outfit there and

promise to advertise regularly and
help the paper out in every way

How and When 70 Advertise.


John Wanamaker, Of PhiladeI-
phia and New York, who is rel
garded as one Of the largest and
most iudicious advertisers IN the
country, is quoted as saying that
bis success, like that Of Governor
Douglass, OF Massachusetts, IS due
almost entirely to advertising.
OF course be had the goods, the
stand and obliging clerks, but
there was and is but one way to
get the attention Of the shopping
public and that was to advertise.
lie advertised extensively and
he got the people. Then came
the question Of holding the peo-
| Pile. AS be had attracted them by
bis advertisements, BIZ rightly
concluded that The thing for him
to do was to continue his adver-
tisements in the leading newspa-
pers of bis town. He acted on
this thought and be has been act
ing on it ever since. His idea is
to advertise daily, and to keep it
Iup, year in and year out. There
may be occasional holidays, but
there are none ID his advertising
cards in the daily newspapers.
The appropriation for bis adver-
Using department is one of the
first considerations with Mr.. Wan
amaker, and it is always a large
sum to this fund.
Governor Douglass, of Massa-
chusetts, it will be remembered,
attributes his success to advertis-
ing and advertising alone. Every
body knew him on account of his
advertisements 10 the newspapers.
There is not a day in the year
that his adj. is not seen in his
home papers and others through
out the country. He pays large
sums Of money for his advertising
bills, but he readily comedies that
he must keep eyerlastingly at
it. He recognizes the fact that
the people regard the advertise
ments as an invitation for them to-
call and a solicitation of their
patronage. The people prefer
these newspaper solicitations to a
sign of the firm name over the.
door and window display.
To sum it up briefly, the Wan
amaker and Douglass ideas are to
advertise regularly, without inter
ruption and not spasmodically.
The man who adVertises BY
spasms gets the name Of doing
business in the same way. The
everyday advertiser wants your
business every day in the week;
the spasmodic advertiser adver-
tises when he wants your trade.

Death of ion. Geo. MII1eF.


This honored citizen Of Copiah
county died at his country resi-
dence near Crystal Springs on last
Thursday, after an illness Of two
weeks with pneumonia. He was
67 years of age and leaves u wife
and one daughter, Mrs. Eunice
Lockwood, Of Crystal Springs, to
mourn his death. The Iatter's
little son, Miller, also suffers
sad loss il the death Of his devot-
ed grandfather.
Mr., Miller twice represented
his county in the Legislature, was
a prominent merchant and plan
ter, and an ardent Christian and
member Of the Baptist church.
He was a man Of means, and gem
erous and patriotic instincts; and
all who we're his neighbors Or who
came within the circle Of his ac-
quaintance felt the influence of
his progressive spirit and the wis
dom Of bis insight for their good
through future years. He seem
ed to make it his business to do
good unto all men. Many are the
lives that received an impetus
spiritually and educationally from
him and the efforts he never failed
to make on their behalf, no mat
ter at what cost to himself.
At bis splendid country home
be and his wife were the soul Of
hospitality and good will; and it
was a blessing to rest beneath
their roof. When love and life
we're young, the writer often vis-
tied Mr.. Miller's home, and
among most cherished memories
of that time, are the thoughtful
kindnesses and generous favors
bestowed by him and his house
hold. Two little daughters then
made glad the hearts Of the ambi-
tious and devoted parents. AS
years past, it pleased God to call
the elder away, and so only one
was left to cheer the broken
hearted. Today il her widowed
loneliness, that one is still left to
comfort the mother, bereft of all
save her, to whom she has tena-
cioasly chung through all these
vnarc Aof obonnso of ct7ncbfYo o,d
of shade. To both widowed
hearts our own goes out in sym
pathy, mingled with qualification,
if not joy, that SO rich a heritage
is left to them il the blessed mem
cries of a life redoIent with so
much of goodness and greatness.
Love to the living Peace to the
dead. !"

Story by Senator Money.

Senator Money tells a story of
the tribute a Mississippi minister
recently paid to the press.
The town in which his parish
was located had been visited with
in short space of time by sever
al catastrophes, all of which,
with narrowing details, had been
duly exploited in the local papers.
The clergyman was moved to
make the misfortunes of his
townsmen a subject Of prayer.
He kneIt in the presence of his
congregation and began fervent-
~: 20 Lord, doubtless Thou
hast learned through the papers of
our recent and grave Affections.

Startling But True.

People the world over were Mortified
on learning of the burning of Chica-
go theatre in which nearly six hundred
people lost their lives, yet more than
Eve times this number or over 1900
people died from pneumonia in Chica-
go during the same year, with scarcely
a passing notice. Every one of these
cases of pneumonia resulted from a
cold and could have been prevented by
the timely use of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. A great many who
had every reason to fear pneumonia
have warded it off by the prompt use
of this remedy. The following is an
instance of this sort: "Too much can
not be said in favor of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy, and especially for
colds and influenza. / know that it
cured my daughter, Laura, of severe
cold, and | belieye saved her life when
she was threatened with pneumonia. I"

Gen. Stephen b. Lee, Conn
mander Of the United Confeder-
ate Veterans, has named June IA.

Confederate reunion at Louisyilles
He approves most heartily the
action which made the city of
Louisville the meeting place for
the veterans iii 1905. Ths III
clemency Of the weather at the re-
union Of 1900 practically set at
naught the almost perfect arrange
ments which had been made for
the pleasure of the wearers of the
gray, and it was due to the gener-
Gus and patriotic men and women
noted all over the world for their
peerless beauty and matchless
charms, that another opportunity
should be given them to entertain
the survivors of the Confederate
armies.
Preparations are already going
forward ID Louisville, it is stated,
to make The reunion an event une-
qualed, for spIendor, extent and
variety, in the annals of the veter-
ans, and Gen. Lee urges the Off
GERS and members of the camps to
begin their preparations for at
tending without delay and to CO.
operate in making the coming re-
union the largest and most repre-
sentative ever held.

A Town JUDGED BY its PaDers.

There is a friendly rivalry be-
tween the local papers of Louis
vile and Alderman as to which is
published in the best town. The
writer has never visited either
place, but to judge from the APP
pearance of the papers "a good in
dex), the Journal and the Plain
dealer, The Record would pro-
nounee Louisville as decidedly the
best town. The journal is gotten
up neatly and is well patronized
III the advertising line, and BY
having such paper, the town
gets credit for being enterprising
and a more flourishing place than
Alderman, whether it is or not.
The advantage Of a town having a
neat, welI-gotten-up and literally
patronized local paper, is readily
seen by the impression made in.
