The Madison Advertiser gives a
sensible talk on the subject of adver-
Using. mo man on earth ever had
an advertisement put in a newspa-
per-" says the Advertiser, that did
not do him some good, and yet you
can't make some of these advertis-
ers believe it. Because they can't
see the benefit directly coming from
the customer they take it for granted
that it does them no good. Our con-
temporary then quotes a prominent
business man of Madison who is a
good merchant and a good adver-
tiser as saying:
Advertising always pays. 1t
you don't get remunerative re-
turns from it at once your bust
ness will be placed prominently
before the public, and people
will know that you are running
a successful, legitimate bust
ness, and having confidence in
you on this line will patronize
you.
The man who is shOddy in his
business methods and always strug-
Cling to make both ends meet, com
ments The Madisonian, lis not the
man to entice customers near as
much as the live, successful bust
ness man. People greatly prefer to
trade with the latter class rather
than the former. Yet some of these
business men actually think that a
country newspaper is an object of
charity which the public has to up
hold, and they give advertisements
SO the paper can be kept going. "
Fortunately there are very few in
telligent business men who regard
the newspaper as an object of charity.
On this point the Milledgeville News
states a plain and undisputed truth
when it says:
The most enterprising and
progressive merchants regard
the newspaper as a medium
and the best medium for dis
seminating news about their
goods. They fully realize that
the newspaper reaches more
trading people in a week than
personal letters, dodgers and
signboards can reach in month,
and they are willing to pay
reasonable price for the public
ity that they can get in this
way.
OF course there are business
men now, as there always have
been, who will contend that lad
vertising doesn't pay" but these
men do not constitute a large
class.

Our old friend who predicts de-

age every year is with us again. Most
of his fulminations are given out from
Atlanta, where they know as little
about what the farmer is doing or
is going to do as any place on earth.
1t is a safe prediction that all of
the fertilizers the factories can make
and the railroads can haul will, as
usual, be used this year. The farm
ers of Terrell county will, use as
much guano, as ever, and maybe a
little more if they can get it.

FLORENCE BELIEVES IN
GETTING COCO ROADS
TO NEAR BY PLACES

Road Overseer Perkins has COM
pleted four weeks of hard work on the
two hills just east OF the Tong place
on Beaver Park, says the Florence
Citizen. Heretofore the road has been
one narrow stony track. but now II
is cut down width of rs feet and to
an easy grade. The hills are Of boul-
ders. rendering the work more te-
dious.
While camped out there Mr.. Perkins
has had an opportunity to watch the
travel from the Beaver land and says
that more than 80 per cent OF 1t is
coming to Florence. The fact that
Canon people have been the ready To-
cal buyers of property in that sec
tion causes considerable travel to the
county seat.
4 In a week or two Mr.. Perkins will
begin the widening of the road from
Florence to Beaver between the hot
springs and Brush hollow. Convicts
will be secured for this work. Mr.
Perkins is confident that the present
road to Beaver Is the feasible one. 1t
goes but couple OF blocks south from
Main street, and as far as making
diagonal road direct across the mesa
from the hill north of town, he says
that the roads In that location will
soon all be on the north and south
and east and west lines. With the
of the Improvements in the
will be in good shape.

HAS BIRTHDAY PARTY
ONLY EVERY FOUR YEARS

Anna Reide has the distinction OF
having a birthday once In four years
so she made the most of her anniver-
sary last Saturday afternoon by invit-
ing about 35 girls and boys to help
her celebrate.
From 3 O'Clock to 7 the time was
spent in solid enjoyment. The par
Ior and dining room had been made
beautiful with long festoons of pink
and white from corner to corner. From
these were suspended stars of the
same coIors. Tall vases we're flled
with pink and white carnations and
the electric lights were softened by
pink shades.
At the long table each guest found
his place designated by star-shaped
place card bearing the name In gill
letters. The card WIS tied with pink
ribbon to a dainty heart-shaped bon
bon box. A bountiful supper was
served. The crowning feature of the
feast was a beautiful pink and white
birthday cake surmounted by twelve
pink candles. Miss McNaughton ant
Miss Campbell were guests and assist
ed with the games.

Did you notice the wind Thursday
night?
Did 1t occur to you what great
night it would have been for fire?
If fire had started somewhere on
West Main street or in the northwest
part OF town the city would have been
wiped off the map as completely as If
1t had been built of straw.
Not a pleasant subject to contem-
plate-but we had just as well face
the truth.
We have fire department, as well
equipped as any small city,-as well
manned and equipped perhaps as we
can afford or need. But the fact is
that this or no other fire department
could do anything of value against a
well started fire on night like last
night.
Our safety against fires depends
largely on the care of our citizens and
the vigilance of our officers in guard
ing against fires.

The Breeze Of Thursday
Makes One Think
Of The Fire Question
And The City's Protection

A most careful inspection should
be made of all ash pits In town and
the law relating to the disposition OF
ashes strictly enforced.
A little carelessness with hod Of
hot ashes last night might have cost
the city million dollars-and many
people are careless with their ashes
and trash.
The Record has always believed that
night watchman should devote his
entire time to the business section Of
the town-and the protection he would
give against fires and burglary would
be well worth the cost.
The aim should be to prevent fire
from starting if possible but always
to have the town so well watched that
any fire would be discovered at the
start and reported to the fire depart
ment.
We can put out little fire, but
well started fire in breeze like that
of last night would sweep the town.
