II would appear that this is not
the proper way for the local mer=
chants TO fight the mail order busi-
ness.
Local papers might very we'll re-
frain from soliciting such business if
it seemed good policy, but if it comes
they can hardly refuse II.
The reqpHrqa af the merchant, as
pointed out in the American Press
sometime ago, is to meet advertising
with advertising, prices with PRICES,
enterprise with eptaFprise.
Some of the smaller merchants,
with limited capital, may find them
selves at a disadvantage in the fight,
but in every community there are
good merchants with long experience
and abundant capital who can beat
the mail order man nine times ont Of
ten, if they are willing to content
THEMSELVES with smaller profits and
adopt liberal methods money back

OUT OF TOWN ADVERTISEMENTS:

The question Qf publishing ont Of
town advertisements fran dealers
who compete with local merchants, is
one which editors frequently have to
decide. Quite a number of papers,
we believe, decline such business, even
that of merchants in cities near
enough to be reached comfortably BY
ah0pRRts,
This would appear to be wholly a
matter of business policy, 1t cannot
be successfully maintained that news
papers have not tho right TO PRINT
SUCH advertising; although local mler- nlr
chants are sometimes inclined to ques-
ton it. On the other hand, if a pub
Usher can increase his hgaihess as a
whole ky refusing outside adyertis-
ing, it would seem to be good policy
to do 50, but q recent aAnerlence o.
newspapers in Fort Wayne, Ind, puts
the subject in new light,

cultural Advertising for April, sen1

THE MOSQUITO.

Who is it that enjoys the musical
hum and singing bite of the mosqui-
to2 Why have this little pest in
Lexington? You may say, my house
is screened, and it may be, but what
| would like to see, is Lexington air
free of the mosquito.
II the people of great city, like
New Orleans, can undertake the ex-
termination Of the mosquito by in
spectlng cutters, pools, cisterns, cans
and other breeding places of the mos
quito, why can not the people of
Lexington do something to get rid of
this annoying and expensive insect?
No matter whether you believe the
mosquito conveys malaria or anything
else, one thing we all agree on and
that is the mosquito hurts, and is al
together an unpleasant visitor.
believe every man, woman, child,
white or black, in Lexington, should
constitute himself or herself a special
agent to do something to aid in the
determination of the mosquito. II
you cannot do more than empty an
old pan, can, or gutter trough, do
that Every old barrel, bucket, can,
gourd, or any other thing else that
contains water for few days, with

We are all interested in this, |

for one to try, but lots can be done
} if we all try.
Let me admit that your house is
screened so perfectly that mosquitoes
can not enter, and suppose your neigh
boris, not great ways off, is not so
fortunate. Fever occurs at your
