vicinity OF town. having an orchard OF
something more than 1,S00 trees of

covered last winter, as is the custom
among peach culturlsts in this part
of ti,a Arkansas valley. but in spite OF
that fact they are full of fruit this
spring. most OF them being at present
about the size of No. shot.
In Mr.. Jewett's orchard are about
1000 peach trees OF the Alberta variety

grown in this state, or any other for
that matter The trees are healthy

MIR. JOHNSON KNOWS
HIS ADVERTISING PAYS

Some of the old-tme merchants
have been inclined to criticise the
amount of advertising done by the
Williams Smith Rice company of this
city. and Intimate that the company
does more advertising than is profit
able.
But Mr. Johnson, the manager, says
he has the thing figured out on a sci
entific basis and knows what he is
doing.
Whenever Mr.. Johnson pulls on a
sale it costs him for advertising from
$50 to s45
Last week, for instance, the sale
advertising cost just about $50. and
Mr. johnson says that the next morn
ing after his page ad appeared in The
Daily Record, before 3 O'Clock he made
three sales, directly from the adver-
Using, the profits from which a little
more than paid for all the advertising.
The profits from all the other bust
ness coming from this advertising was
clear gain.
When a firm can figure it out like
this IL can certainly not lose any
thing even II It's advertising bills do
run up to 800 or $3.50 per month,

of pneumonia. Last night he ventured
out for the first time since his arrival.

her home from the theater, was held up
and robbed by two men at the point of
a revolver as he left her doorstep. The
holdup took place at the corner of Oc-
tavia street and Elm avenue at mid
night
The thugs, who had evidently fol-
lowed the couple at a short distance
behind, approached Pritchard as soon
as the door of his companions house
was closed, and while one of them held
the gun under his nose the other went
through his pockets. When they had
taken everything OF value they in
structed their victim to walk on and
death until after he had turned the
corner. Pritchard remarked that IL it
was just the same to his captors he
would prefer to keep on going straight
down the street. The request was
granted. and when Pritchard reached
the first corner the two thugs started
to run and disappeared from sight
down Elm avenue
Pritchard regards his adventure in
the hight of huge joke. Nevertheless
he now mourns the loss of valuable
gold watch, the gift of his mother, and
$50 in gold. The fob on his watch bore
his initials.
