The Story of Il Song.

the well-known hymn the music Tor
which Mr.. Ira d. Sankey improvlsed
in a burst Of deep feeling, was told
by the Rev. DR.. c. e. Locke, at the
funeral of Mr.. Sankey. The evan

Lost Sheep in a Scotch newspaper,
so runs, Doctor Loeke's account in
the Brooklyn Eagle. and had clipped
1t One night in Edinburgh Mr..
Moody asked him to sing. Mr.. Moody
had Just finished his sermon, The
Good Shepherd. Mr.. Sankey had no
thought of composing new song,
but as he used to tell the story:
!. LAS sat at the organ my fingers
fell on A fiat and my eyes fell on
that little poem. | began to sing
and | sang the words of that poem"
When he had finished, Mr.. Moody
rushed down from the platform and
asked him where he had found that
song. He said it was the most Won
derful song he had ever heard. Mr..
Moody was weeping, Mr.. Sankey was
weeping and the audience was in
tears, so great was the impression
produced by the song.
II sang it as God gave it to me.
Mr. Sanicey replied. He never chang

UNCONSCIOUS ADVERTISING
Every Merchant and Business Man
Does 1t in Some Form or Other
Says Mr.. Van Camp.

Writing in the New York CONNER
cial, Frank Van Camp, of baked bean
fame, says:
when a man advertises he is
generally supposed to use newspapers,
magazines, street car signs, billboards,
wall signs or circulars, or to demon
strate, or distribute samples.
'In my opinion. every business man,
either retailer, jobber or manufactur-
er, advertises, but many Of them are
apparently unconscious OF the fact.
"A retailer could save rent by hav-
ing his store in a back alley, but
wishing to attract the attention OF
greater number of people, he locates
on a prominent street and charges
the excess rent to general expenses.
rather than to his advertising account,
where it properly belongs. When
merchant moves from side street to
q prominent thoroughfare, it is be-
cause he wants to advertise. When
merchant puts a sign over his door
or uses a show window to display his
wares, he is advertising. When the
clerk behind the counter displays
goods that have not been asked for by
the prospective customer, he is adver-
Using The merchant who removes
his business from the country village
to the county seat, the man who
moves from the county seat to the
city, the manufacturer who increases
his sales force from one man to ten,
the man who extends his business
| from the local field to his state, from
| a state to the national market, has in
mind the extension of his field of OPP
Grafton, the seeing and talking with
more people-in other words, adver-
Using.
81 say again, every merchant and
manufacturer advertises and believes
in advertising, as without it in some
form no business could survive for a
year.
ANY kind of an announcement by
a merchant or manufacturer that he
has merchandise for sale or trade is
advertising, but the announcement
may be good, bad or Indifferent, and
may be profitable or Improbable"

TAx.pAYING A DUTY OF ALL.

Senatobia Democrat.
This is the opening of the campaign
year, and every white male over
twenty-one years of age is entitled
to vote if he possesses the get-up and
get about him necessary to pay his
taxes and register. There are many
voters in the county who are either
not registered or else they have not
paid their taxes and are not entitled
to vote The payment of ones taxes
is thing that should have your at
tention whether you intend to vote
or not, or whether it is a voting year
but when the rights of the ballot
are coupled thereto it IS positively
unbelievable that white man IN this
country will sacrifice his rights to
the privileges of citizenship by being
too lazy to register or too stingy to
pay his taxes. Remember that you
have only until the first of February
to register and that it should not be
put off one day.

In European countries, land that

ly than when first cleared of its ma
tive growth. This is because skilled
lauor combined with science, is used
in the cultivation. If Mississippi
soil could have the benetit of such la
Dor our state would become the gar
den spot Of the world. The negro
and the mule, with their slip-shod
accompaniment, must be replaced
by skill and intelligence, if we would
gain the prestige to which our state
is entitled by her native, but unde-
veloped resources.
