"a PLAIN TALK.

The News wants the ear of every
business man in Hattiesburg. No mat
ter what the nature of your business,
how large nor how small, we want
to impress upon you the fact that The
News can help you.
Advertising is the modern way of
business promotion. The most sue
cessful stores, shops and factories of
the country are the largest users of
newspaper advertising.
In most cities you can pick the best
stores and shops by glance at the
local newspapers.
But this is not so in Hattiesburg.
A great many of our largest stores
never advertise. Others use the col
umns of the newspapers spasmodical-
ly A few of them, however, are reg
ularly represented in the columns of
The Newsstand the number Of reg
ular advertisers is constantly increas-
ing.
We believe that ycl will agree with
us when we say that The News is
good paper for a city the size of Hat
tiesburg. We know that it has always
been better newspaper than the pa
tronage received justified.
But this is another matter.
We want to make The News a bet
ter newspaper still. And to do this
we need and must have the cordial
support of the business interests of
the city.
By persistent effort during the past
several months we have increased the
circulation of the paper until it stands
alone in its field. Our subscription
books are open, and We can prove to
the satisfaction of interested parties
that this newspaper has THREE
TIMES THE CIRCULATION OF
ANY OTHER SOUTH MISSISSIPPI
PJTRT ICATTON
But our advertising rates have not
been materially increased.
Space in The News can be purchas.
ed now cheaper than in any other
Mississippi newspaper, counting cir
culation thousand for thousand and
hundred for hundred.
We want you, Mr.. Business Man, to
invest in advertising space in The
News, knowing that you are getting
more than your moneys worth. We
want you to patronize the paper be-
cause we believe the paper deserves
your patronage; because it will enable
US to make a still better newspaper;
because it will enable US to accomplish
more for the city and section which
the paper represents.
Our expert advertising man will be
glad to assist you in preparing your
copy.

The appropriation of $4,000 for a

persist in right eating and temperate:
ways, undoubtedly the stomach would
right itself, the blood would rid itself of
the poison, and everything would be
right. But as said before there are .
multitude of people who will not or can
not adopt right methods of living. To-
such people Peruna is q boon. A dose
before meals will assist the stomach to-
do its work. This prevents fermenta--
ton OF the food, brings about normal
digestion, and all the train Of ills that
follow indigestion disappear. IL
In other words, Peruna is helpful to
those who live badly, or those who
have acquired some chronic weakness.
Peruna does not cure, but 1t assists the'
powers Of Nature to bring about cure.
The whip does not increase the power
Of the horse to pull load, but judi
ciously used it stimulates the horse to
use his powers at the right time, with
out which he could not have pulled the
load.
This illustrates the effect Of Peruna,
or any other good remedy upon the sys-
tenn. Taken at the right time, 1t calls
forth the powers Of the human system
to meet the en-. roachments OF disease,
and thus cuts short, If not entirely ends,
the diseased action.
No one should ever attempt to substi--
tute medicine in the place of right liv--
ing. In the end such an attempt will
prove a. disaster, But an occasional use
of the right medicine at the right time
is godsend, and no reasonable person
will under take to deny it.
Those who know how to use Peruna-
find it of untold value. By and by the
world will get wise enough so that
through correct living no medicine at
all will be needed. But that time has
not arrived. In the meantime, While,
the world is approaching that perfec-
ton in which all medicine will be elm.
mated, Peruna is handy remedy to-
have in the house.
Slight arrangements of tho stomach;
slight catarrhal attacks of the liver, the
throat, bronchial tubes, lungs or bow.
els; these attacks are sure to lead to
grave diseases, and can be averted by
the judicious use of Peruna.
Wouldn't you like to read few un-
solicited testimonials from people who
have used Peruna, and who stand ready
to confirm the above statements con-
corning it. If so, address the Peruna
