| -AuVeruslnB Is the life or trade be-
cause it is a heart to heart talk between
the advertiser and the public. The good
wife sits in her home, picks up the RE-
PUBLICAN, reads the advertisements and
finds suggested to her that the very arti-
Gle, or articles, she needs can be pur-
chased at this or that store. With her
hou, ,ehold duties naturally her time is
limited, but knowing just where to go
she takes a half hour from her work and
goes directly to the store and buys what
she wants. When she lays the paper
down her husband picks it up, and he
learns that he can buy that suit of clothes
he needs at grestly redu 3ed price, and
next day he does so. And that is the
way advertising pays.

Secretary James Wilson, of the De-
partment of Agriculture at Washington,
has appointed Mr.. j. Albaugh, of East
Hickory, statistical correspondent of
Forest county. In order to get the best
results and the most accurate information
relative to crop conditions in our county,
Mr.. Albaugh desires some person in each
township to assume the position of assist
ant correspondent, to whom he will fur
nish all necessary blanks and papers, to-
gether with complete instructions as TO
how to proceed and forward Information
concerning crop conditions. The work is
very simple, and will require but few
moments of ones time each month, and
it is hoped that good corps of corre-
spondents may be obtained in Forest
county. Remember that no expense will
be attached TO this work. Will some one
in each township correspond with Mr..
Albaugh, addressing him at East Hick-
ory, regarding this matter, which will
prove of ineshmable value to our farming
interests.
