THE LOCAL PAPER.
. Power For Good In Every Com
munity.

In an address before a body of re-
tailers recently. Wesley A. Stanger.
editor of the Office Outftter, Chicago.
said of the value of the local news
paper:
The local newspaper is the greatest
thing the retailer has if he will use it
right, but a large proportion are too
prone to believe that the editor will
take care of their interests whether
they look after his or not. This is
wrong. If merchants as a class would
only take advantage of the opportuni-
ties that the local newspapers afford
them; they would reap rewards far
beyond their fondest dreams.
While self preservation is the first
law of nature. editors Of local papers
have a habit of letting self-interests
go to the limit when it to a
question Of serving a community.
For this. they are entitled to recogni-
ton, which they rarely receive.
No doubt the retailers have encour-
aged them as far as sentiment goes.
They have undoubtedly said that they
approved the editors methods and
called him a good boy but in how
many cases have they fallen short in
the real encouragement that counts?
How often have they neglected to use
his columns, thinking that they We're
clever in it. In failing to p%atroniZe
him they have often killed the goose
that laid the golden egg.
You must get behind the local editor
and push for all that you are worth.
He gives YOU two dollars back for
every dollar you invest with him. He
furnishes for you at his own expense
one of the biggest assets you possess;
the medium through which to let the
people know what you have to sell.
Within recent years the mail order
proposition has been somewhat bother
some. The editors of the country
papers have done more than all other
influences combined to win the bust
ness back into normal channels and to-
reconvert the farmer to the logical be.
lief in home trading.
DO not let it be said in your com
munity that you have let your editors
work 90 unappreciated. Use his pap
per. Make him prosperous and your
self rich doing it. If you have foolish
ideas about the nOn-productiveness of
newspaper advertising, throw them off
and try it out. One try will prove
nothing, but the constant use of the
paper in an intelligent manner will
produce results.
The best friend any business man
in the world has, next to- his wife, is
the local newspaper, and if he doesn't
get full value for this friendship it is
his fault, not the editors. The editor
of the average so-called country paper
has done more to upbuild his town and
the retailers in it than all other in
f~iuences combined, and it also follows
that as an almost unbroken rule he is
the least appreciated person in his
community.
In conclusion, Mr.. Stanger said that
the country newspaper man does not
ask for charity, but stands ready to
repay the merchants 500 per cent ON
every dollar properly spent in adver-
Using.

THE BRANDON NEWS-RANklN COUNTY TRADE EDITION. .

Volume of business will be nearly doubled by
the operation Of the Lockwood Lumber Cos
plant and railroad, as it will employ some $50
to 800 men and their pay roll will amount to
100000 per year, which is about one half the
value Of yearly cotton shipments, but probably
makes as much trade as it is practically all
spent in the town.
Their railroad, which will in few years
reach Carthage, Will not divert any trade from
iPeIahatchie as it runs only few miles through
our trade territory, and that section beyond
will soon come to PeIahatchie for goods that
small towns along its line Will hardly keep in
stock AS tifnberis cut off, the lands aIonq its
route will be made into farms, adding to the
volume Of trade Of Peahatchie. 1t may be
