APPRECIATED FAR AND NEAR.

Last spring The Advertiser Print
ing Company received the contract
for printing 500 college catalogues
for Lexington Female College. Lex
ington> Mo. Mind you, Lexington,
Missouri. The Catalogue was an extra
high grade product and of a quality
not usually attempted by print shops
in cities and towns the size of Lau-
rens. The Advertiser boys knew what
they were about though and put up
4 job which they were rightfully proud
Of The Lexington College people
were evidently equally as proud for
they wrote back stating that they
were eminently pleased with it, Yes,
they thought it was fine But others
saw the catalogue, too. One of the
catalogues found its way TO DePauw
University, Greencastle, Indiana. Note
that, DePauw University has over a
thousand students and they wanted
prices on not less than $500 cata-
logues similar TO the Lexington cat
alogue. Not being content with last
years job The Advertisers job esti-
mater made figures for a catalogue of
an even finer quality and the figures
have been sent in. The figures are
based on quality and profit combined
When The Advertiser Printing com
pany gets up job of this kind they
expect 10 make a reasonable profit
ON il and they ways Try to charge
reasonably for work. In no 9th
er way can the! Npect to do business
for when they make a reasonable pro-
At on their goods they are enabled TO
do reasonable work and when the
time comes for them TO enlarge their
plant and TO put in better equipment
they will be able 10 do so. The point
is. though, that the work of The Ad-
vertiser Printing Company is appre-
ciated far and near. They know how
10 do artistic work and they go at il
right. Their product is the best and
the prices are consistent with good
work The Advertisers boys would
like TO be kept buster though with
I.aurens work. They feel that they
are entitled 10 it.

BARN AND CONTENTS BURNED

Abbeville, Dec. ll.-For a time this

element in this city and threats OF
lynching four negroes who We're
brought here TO Jail cary Sunday

On Friday night barn belonging
to Mr.. J. w. Bradbury, a prominent
farmer of the Antreville section. was
burned together with four fine mules

diarism was suspected. and some of
Mir. Bradbury's sons stayed out 10
watch for developments. In short
while negro boy came stealing up
and when he saw the white boys he
ran away, but ne was followed and
caught He confessed that he was one
of four negroes who set fire to the
barn and that they We're appointed by
lodge of which they were members
to fire the barn and also the residence
of Mr. Bradbury, and that he was re-
turning TO fire the house when he was
captured He said that he was com
PEELED by the other three to 90 with
them 70 fire the barn and that he was
threatened with death if he told on

The whole trouble started about the
removal OF a lodge room of some land

COTTON.

Observer writing IN another col
umn OF this paper, has a few things
10 say on the cotton question. AL
though, in mis- preface he remarks
that he learned long ago not to ad-
wise farmers TO sell or hold cotton, he
goes right ahead and says If the cot
ton We're all sod ii would be for
the test interest OF all concerned '
We would understand this as advice
TO sell
This paper has al! along thought il
best 70 hold cotton of the market and
reduce the acreage and has said as
much and although the price of cot
ton is now lower than it has been be-
fore this year ii Is still our opinion
that the cotton should be held. That
is. it should be held if the farmers
VIII stand together and reduce acre
age next year. If they are not going
TO reduce they might as we'll sell out
and go into bankruptcy. The pres
ent holding movement, although ii has
N : been as wide as II should have
been, has been instrumental in keep
Ing the market as high as it is But
the South has been heavy seller,
also both IN spots and in futures.
and this has done more than anything
else TO offset the holding movement.
As observer was sitting in the of
nee when he brought his paper in, we
remarked to him without looking at
the morning paper, that We would be
""iing 10 wager that an examination
OF the market reports would show that
cotton the day before was Kept down
b. Southern selling. Opening the pa
per we saw what we had predicted

fit derived will be mutual.
