 CAUSES A DEATH

Corpus Christi, Tex, November 15.-- James Coppland is dead and four other persons who were caught in "norther'' while off the Texas coast in a gasoline launch, are in such a serious condition as a result of exposure that their re- covery is doubtful The other members of the party were MT. and Mrs. w. F. Greene and Mrs. F. L. Ford. They left Monday to go to Corpus Christi pass but encountered strong northern winds and put in at Four Bluffs. Later they con tinued their journey, but on account of the weather had to turn back.

The men took turns standing in the water and holding the boat Thursday morning Coppland waded to the land. He reached an island where he died from over-exer- ton. During the day the boat reached the island, also, but the party was com pelled to remain there without protection throughout Thursday night. Friday morn ing they were rescued by fishermen and brought here this afternoon.

Southern Builds New Tracks.

The Southern Railway company has completed a new main line through the Ensley yards and has built in addition about two miles of siding. The main is a new line absolutely, as the old main line has been left for the Birmingham Southern Railway company. The rapidly increasing business of the Southern Rail- way at this point has made it necessary to build individual tracks entirely, avoid ing delay in shipment. Since the first of the month business has picked up to such an extent that a new yardmaster was put on, J. A. Welch getting the position. Ensley is the largest shipping point in the district The increased business is an evil dence of returning prosperity.

Mr.. Merchant, do you realize
that now is the very time to 60
after business? You are going
to invoice in a few days, that is,
you are going to begin to take
stock and find out how much you
have made the past year. You
know that you would like to re-
duce your stock, so as to have
more room for the new stock you
will have on hand before long
for the spring trade. Most mer-
chants make a great mistake in
! advertising. They wait until
business is good and then they
rush to the newspaper Office and
have a big advertisement put in
the paper. What they ought to
do is to push business when it
needs pushing-not when they al
ready have a big trade. And
now is the time to push business.
You have some things in stock
which you would like to close
out, and now is the time to do it.
If you feel that you have not the
energy or words at your command
to write an attractive adv. just
tell your troubles to the News
man; and he will get you up. an
adv. which will be read and some
attention paid to. That is a part
of our business that goes with
the newspaper business. =.
Just think this over-let it soak
in, and see if we are not right.
Now is the time to 60 after busi-
ness. Don't let your store be
neglected by the purchasing pub
lie. Advertise. Do it now.
