ADVERTISING
 MONTGOMERY Working Among Carni-
 val Visitors. THREE CITIES ARE PLACARDED Publicity Committee of Commercial
 Club Active. Stghtseers Are Urged To stop over and s~. Visit Montgomery. the Heart
 of the sunny South.
THREE CITIES ARE PLACARDED

The City of Montgomery is being thoroughly advertised for the carnival crowds in the three Mardi Gras cities of Mobile, Pensacola and New Orleans. The work is being done under the di- rection and at the expense of the Mont gomery Commercial Club.
 Special representatives In charge or E. ] .Mahoney, are distributing att tractively printed placards inviting the carnival visitors to come to Montgomery. before returning home These placards are being set up or hung up in all public places of the three cities.
 This advertising endeavor was inaug- urated and carried through by the Con- mittee on Promotion and Development It Is the expressed purpose of the com mittee to watch for opportunities for placing Montgomery and its claims be- fore the people of the country. The committee decided that at small ex- pense the city could get some desirable advertising by taking advantage of the big crowds in the Gulf cities for Mardi Gras. Inasmuch as the crowds are com posed of sightseers. 1t was deemed ad- visable to put forward strongly on the placard the historic interest which at' Ataches to Montgomery.
 The visitors were urged to stop over and visit Montgomery, the heart eI the South" the starting point of tho great. war, and the repository of so many rare and valuable relics of the war Nor was the modern city forgot. ten The placards told the visitors that Montgomery. with population of SO, 900, was perhaps the most beautiful city of the South. as well as the best paved. It's splendid water. its system of parks and it's progressiveness were duly impressed upon the readers Of the placards.
 When this suggestion was originally presented. 1t was endorsed by President Fred & Ball of the club. and the mem bers of the Board of Directors, the Board agreed with the committed. that the novel plan was seizing valuable opportunity and that the small amount necessary for 1t would be well spent Chairman Will T. Sheehan. of the com mittee, was instructed to go ahead With the work.
 As result. three men left the city Saturday for the three Mardi Gras ci- ties, each carrying full sup ply of the attractive placards inviting carnival visitors to stop in Montgom- cry before going home. It is expected that the agents of the club will do their work so well that every visitor to the three cities will see one or more of the cards advertising Montgomery.
 Montgomery is the first city to start an advertising plan of this kind.

TOSTAMP EDUCATION
UNCLE SAM ENTERS UPON NEW
 CAMPAIGN.
Is Advocating the Using of Envelopes Already Stamped, Which are to Re Furnished by the
 Government.

Uncle Sam has started in upon his campaign of education of the great American people, and in the endeayor to wean them from the old custom of using adhesive stamps, has distributed circulars and literature detailing the efficacy of using envelopes already stamped by the Government.
 The officials of the Montgomery post rature, and will distribupte 1t among the lock boxes of the postoffice. and through the medium of the carriers.
 The stamped envelopes, as advocated by the Postoftice Department, are made to the order of the user. They are ready stamped. and have printed in the upper left-hand the name of the person. who sends them. Thus. mer- chant placing an order with the Gov ernment, has his name and address placed on the envelope. and the risk of becoming lost by the lack of an identt- flying superscription Is thus obviated :.
 It Is the intention of the Govern ment officials to popularize the ready stamped envelopes with every person, the adhesive stamps. which are so prone to the disagreeabie possibility of coming off in the mails.
 For not only will envelopes for those affected in social correspond ence. That vapid. sentimental out burst which you send each day to your lady-love can hereafter find its way 
 For Uncle sam.. sensible. to the fact that such affectionate missives figure largely in his postage receipts. and that other social correspondence is as important. will fill any order for the square envelopes. of almost any color '.
 The campaign of education in regard to correspondence is accompanied by a letter from A l.. Lawshe, Third As sistant Postmaster-Gene copies of which are to be distributed.
 The letters say:
 The advantages in using stamped envelopes in place of adhesive stamps are many. Adhesive stamps may be easily lost, misappropriated.. or >Aay become useless through sticking to- gether. The time consumed in affixing stamps Is also an item to consider. A stamp may drop off In the mail. By using stamped envelopes, all these diff ficultles are overcome. If misdirected the stamped envelopes are redeemable at the postoffice from original owner only at full stamp value, while adhe- sive stamps are not redeemable "
 With an order for 500, placed with the local postmaster of any city, the Government will place upon the en- velopes the name and address of the person ordering. It will be. possible to get the envelopes it small lets from the stamp window at any EOstoff1ce.

RGy. Hughes Pounded

Last night(Tuesday) the mem
bers of the First Baptist Church
pounded their pastor, Rev. John
G. Hughes. in a very practical,
yet very unostentatious manner.
Instead of coming around in a
body, the members sent their
gifts by Messrs. Burckmyer and
Wilson's wagons. The goods
sent consisted of all manner of
groceries, dairy produce, fruits,
vegetables, kindling wood and
money.
Last year the members~of the
BAPTIST Church pounded their
pastor heavily. but this year they
have pounded him even more
heavily, and they have sent such
things as will furnish his pantry
for many a long day to come.
In speaking Of the matter Mr..
Hughes says that he has been
pounded until he is quite out of
breath and feels almost like cry
ing out: ''Time!" Yet he wishes
The Hustler to convey to his peo-
pie and friends the gratitude he
feels but cannot express.
