Sometimes an advertiser thinks that
because customers do not say anything
about an ad when they come to buy,
they have not seen the ad and simply
traded at hat store because they
wanted to do so. If a man thinks ad.
vertising is not read, let any reputable
merchant, whose word the public
knows to be good, put in a little ad
down in some out Of the way corner
Of the paper stating that on every
dollars worth Of goods at regular
prices he will return to the customer
rs cents in cash, and see how many
will flock to his store. Advertising
calls the attention Of people to mer-
chants goods, and although they may
not buy the day they read the ad they
keep this ad in mind, and when they
want to buy anything they 60 around
and look at the goods that have been
called 10 their attention by the adver.
Using. The great successful business
men in cities are the biggest adver-
Users, and this is proven by the city
papers especially the Sunday papers
Somly firms in Chicago and St, Louis
spend over $500, 900 a year in adver.
Using, and have done this for twenty
years, and if it did not pay no one
would have discovered it sooner than
these successful merchants.-Ex.

OFFICE OF COUNTY
ATTORNEY.

Quite a number of the papers Of
the State, which did not at first look
with favor upon the bill creating the
Office Of County Attorney, have been
convinc ed that the Legislature acted
wisely in calling that Office into exist
ence.
Experience has shown hat no mis-
take W as made in creating the Office
of Cou nty Attorney. Referring to its
effect, the Yazoo Herald says:
Whatever may have been the
opinion Of the public about creating
the Office Of County Attorney. it has
proven to be one Of the best acts OF
the Legislature. In all the counties
the County Attorney has been a great
lever in surppressing and ferrettinG out
crimes and the officials are more than
saving to the taxpayer their salaries
The County Attorney is always on
hand to represent the State, which.
heretofore suffered because of no
one to look after the interests Of the
State. AT each term Of the courts the
Co unity Attorney is there to assist the
District Attorney and to give valuable
aid in sci getting %iuries and securing
evidence. Commonwealth
If our law makers would 60 a step
further and enact a law disseminating
the office Of District Attorney and vest
his powers in the County Attorney,
making the latter attorney for the
Board Of Supervisors and legal attor-
ney for the county in all matters, we
would get it down about right. The
county attorney is in better position
to represent the state than the district
attorney, from the fact that he is &C.
quaintGd with the people of his county
and largely The conditions surrounding
each %ofense against the law. We
hope the next Legislature will conclude
to keep the county attorney and let
the office Of district attorney 60, as
one office is superAnous and an unnec,
essary expense to the people.-Talla
hatchie Herald.
We thought that the law was good
when enacted and the short time of
its operation in this county has sus-
tanned MS in our opinion,-Starkville

BURGLARS
BODY DANGLED
FROM SKYL|CHT
Woman on Return Home Finds
Falling Frame Had Trapped
Thief.

NEW YORK, May 25.-The body of
a mar dangling from a rope in the sky
light was the sight that greeted Mrs
Elias Strut when she returned yester-
day afternoon to her home in Harlem
from a five weeks visit out of town.
The man had beer dead three weeks,
inc the police declare he vas a bur-
glar whom death by s~trangulation in
%terrupted at his task.
A stout rope was attached one end to
. chimney, the other about the mans
waist. The heavy frame of the sky
light, whose glass he had cut to release
the inside catch. pressed its $50 pounds
upon the back of his neck, which was
pinned between the frame and ceiling.
His clenched fingers still clutched the
rope tightly. Skeleton keys and a fully
loaded revolver were found upon the
body.
Mrs. Surut had looked around on the
lower floors and decided to sprinkle
some camphor on the carpets on the
top floor. AS she started up the last
fight of stairs she saw something
hanging from the ceiling that startled
her.
IAN / saw at first" she said after
ward, twas a pair of trousers hanging
down. and the idea crossed my mind
that somebody was trying to play a
Joke on me. Then | saw that it was a
mans body, all of which was visible,
except. the head. ! was frightened
when realized that I was alone in the
house, but I quickly saw that the man
was dead and couldn't harm me.
IT hurried down stairs and opening
the doors called to a man who was
passing to get a policeman. While ]
was waiting the chauffeur came back
and he made sure the man was dead,
Then the policeman came and he tele-
phoned for the coroner"
The burglar was later identified as
George A. Tauer, alias George A. Tan
ner. who had served a term in Elmira,
and had been released from Sing Sing
about a month ago.
