lust Advertise.

In conversation with a News
reporter this week, Chas. Huff
hines of this city stated that he
had mailed six circulars advertis-
ing the reunion to friends at his
old home town, Rhome, Texas,
and that five of the six had come
out to see Us. If every citizen OF
the county would do as well we
would soon have the town full OF
people all the time. Don't you
think little personal advertising
would help? Why don't YOU do
it, You can afford it.
