he said. That's exactly what
Courier representative surmised as
he brushed his way back through the
cob-webs to where the idle merchant
sat, and asked him il he had any
special prices or bargains that he
wanted to tell folks about. He
didn't believe in it an object lesson
would not do him any good. He is
just simply sour old, cuss. Its
gratifying fact that this class of
merchants are scarce in Hickman.
The men who make this the best
town in Kentucky, are the men who
push-who know the value of print
ers ink. They know advertising is a
business factor-know it pays. 1t
sells goods, unites loving hearts
disposes of baby-cabs, makes the
mare 60 and returns long lost bull
pup to a "lobster." Advertising
brings business to the bug eradicator,
trades consumptive automobile for
a doped plug, disposes of gold bricks
to "good things" makes folks think
they have symptoms of diseases
cured by patent medicines and sells
parrots to the unwary. Advertising,
like bumble-bee, has two ends
one that BUNDLES and one that kicks
back with singer in its tail. Ad-
vertising has made poor men rich
and rich men poor it has been bread
and meat for the successful advocate
of its virtues and wreckine shoal
for thousands who have overestimat-
ed their persuasive qualities. 1t is
the golden sesame that unlocks the
palace of Opportunity, but a two
edged sword to the man VINO under
stands il not and trifes with its
favor. Like the knight who went
in to win his lady love or die, so
must advertising be approached in
the financial sense. II breaks or it
makes. Linked with good common
sense it triumphs for its travelling
mate. Joined to a coward or an ass,
it falls amuck and drags its partner
along with it. 1t is more certain
than woman and as reliable as the
corn crop in Fulton county. if wise
ly used. A fool should not play
skyrocket with fire brands. neither
should monkey try to make mon
ey with ads. Fundamentally ad-
ministered it is as certain to produce
satisfying results as is the surmise
that the young couple who sell their
baby-cab after the first born has out
grown il will have to buy another.
If you are willing to make work

only FIVE years old was murdered

Further along in his proclamation
of reward the Governor practically
calls upon law-loving people to
"arise in their might" and put down
such lawlessness. His proclamation
in this case is the strongest demand
he has yet made for suppression OF
such crimes. He says;
IF two or three men had gone to
his poor cabin and murdered the
family the crime would have shock
ed humanity with its revelation OF
the incredible wickedness, brutality

A RELIC OF WAR DAYS
An Old Newspaper Clipping Taken
From Buffalo Paper Con-
corning Lincoln's Death.

H. G. Preston brought to The Re-
publican Office Tuesday a relic of
the civil war days in the shape of a
newspaper clipping taken from the
files of the Buffalo, NY, Gazette, of
the date of April IS, 1865. 1t was a
eulogy printed in large letters to the
memory of Abraham Lincoln the day
following his assassination on April
IA, 1865. 1t was a beautiful tribute
to the man of the nation.
Mr.. Preston stated that the clip
ping was taken from the paper by his
mother, and on presenting it to him
said: "My boy, keep this to commem-
crate the death of our beloved pres
ident-it will be an interesting me-
mento in the years to come"
This clipping was framed in one
of the old fashioned frames and Mr..
Preston keeps it hanging in his house,
both as a tribute to his mother and
the nations lamented president.
Tuesday was the forty-thlrd anniver-
sary of the assassination of President
Iincoln-an event that is rarely re
membered.
