So may it be, and the True Democrat
extends best wishes. From the Lake
land News we take the following:
H. G. Sparkman has purchased the
business of the Perry Herald which was
recently burned out, and will move the
plant of his Wauchula Telegram to his
new field. The business and subscrip.
ton list of the Telegram at Wauchula
is absorbed by the Advocate, which is
thus left in undisputed possession Of the
field. 1t has long been a puzzle to the
newspaper boys how two such excellent
papers could exist in a town like Wau.
chula, and it is explainable only on the
ground that the business people of that
community are about twice as progress
sive and patriotic as they are elsewhere.
The new arrangement is advantageous
all around, and the News feels to con-
graduate both editors and both COM
munities affected.

A DEAD ONE.

Once on a time ! knew a man
Who said 1t didn't pay
To advertise the goods he had
To sell or trade away.
To prove that he was off his base
And make him clearly see,
gave him half page of space
And let him have it free.
It almost scared him into fits
To see himself displayed
AS ] displayed him, but he felt
Its influence on his trade.
I kept it up, his business doomed,
The customers swooped down
Upon his store until he had
The biggest rush in town.
One day ! went around to call
And found him on the run,
With people waiting for their turn
When those ahead were done.
''Wen, we'll, i cried in great delight
To see things boom that way,
Don't advertising pay, old man!
What have you got to say.
/ thought he'd like my work so much
And think my plan so nice,
That he'd not only praise my wares,
But pay me double price.
And did he do il? Listen, please.
/ thought that I'd drop dead,
When vigorously he turned on me
And vigorously said
Take out that advertisement, quick;
Goldern yer pesky skin,
Ill never git a chance to rest
Ez long ez it stays in. :,
