Our dear Zig Bud is very much
incelsed at the Beacon for making him
say in his letter last week that the Gov
ernor had made his final" instead of
his first message to the legislature.
Every n familiar with Big Buds hand
writing wonders how we ever get them
up as correctly as we do, as it would
take three Philadelphia lawyers and a
drea n-book to get his letters entirely
correct. We mentioned Mr.. Cavrtt's
trouble to a former county official this
week and he remarked that he had a
letter last week from Emmett and that
he had spent an hour every night after
supper since trying to read it. We wish
though, to relieve Mr.. Cavett of any
responsibility of any mistakes like the
above that occur .in.his letters.
Mr.. Conard Smith was in town the
early part of the week for the first
time since the bad weather commenced.
He said the roads in his section were
not as bad as around Macon, due to
having a clay subsoil; that where they
had been worked and rounded up so
they could drain we'll they did not get
very bad. Mr.. Smith is thoroughly
imbued with the get ready for the boil
weevil idea and this winter killed rs hogs
and expects to raise enough meat for
his entire place this year.
Mr.. Jas. j. Martin, a member of a
we'll known Meridian family and whose
brother is now candidate for Mayor of
that city, has been conducting a sale
for Roseman & Robbins. Mr.. Martin is
an expert trainer of dogs and is the
owner of a canine that is said to be the
most intelligent animal in the world.
and he has been exhibited in a number
of the largest cities of the country.
Mr.. Allie Swami came in this week
with 10 or IL home raised mules from 3
to 6 years old. for which he found ready
sale. Mr.. Swami has seer the neccissi-
ty of raising something besides cotton
for several years and probably no farm
err in the county is better prepared to
meet boil weevil conditions.
Mr.. John H. Minge, of Birmingham,
Ala, has just notified the Editor of
this paper that he wishes to purchase
an improved farm of 500 acres or more.
Must be in high cultivation, and suit
able for stock raising. He will inves-
tigate it if you will write him what you
have to offer.

Look into any retail bust
ness large or small, and it
will be found, that it is
governed by either one or
the other of the two basic
ideas:
First bargain idea.
"Second-THE IDEA OF
SERVICE"
The bargain idea is put
first, because it is so old his.
torically. 1t goes back to
dim centuries when the mer-
chant was q peddler, selling
from a pack at markets and
fairs. His profits depended
largely on the gaudiness and
apparent cheapness of his
goods, and his skill at double.
dealing.
"Of course his methods
were such that nothing but
improvement was possible"
"Yet the merchant of to-
day who is welded to his
bargain idea still UNDER
RATES PUBLIC INTELLI.
GENCE. He assumes that
penny-saving is the chief
object of people purchasing
goods. He centers effort on
buying merchandise that will
be tempting by reason of the
bare prices he can mark upon
it.
"Value and quality are
taken into account last of all
sometimes never. This
sort of merchant offers the
public a disconnected string
Of price-sensatiOns, yester-
day it was marked down
ribbons, today bargain shoes,
tomorrow a terrific slaughter
in clothespins. Everything
is haphazard and stocks have
little relation to the needs of
the modern family"
s'But a merchant guided
by the SERVICE IDEA, on
the other hand has a broad
conception of the public's in
telligence, sees his communi
ty's needs as a whole, and
understands his own function
in it.
"He knows that GUS
TONERS WEIGH POINTS

appearance, convenience,
originality. He searches the
world for the latest and
most beautiful products.
Even though he has bnt a
small establishment, his
stocks will be complete, rep
resentative, adequate to meet
the whole demand in his line
of the average family, and
they will be manifested with
a view to progress in that
line. Shopping is made
agreeable. Growth and repu-

satisfaction after goods are
in use and price forgotten.
"The old bargain idea is
still deeply ingrained in
American merchandising. 1t
dominates nine retail con.
Germs in every ten, and is a
subtle commercial fallacy,
difficult to keep out even
where a business is rigidly
held to principles of service.
Ideals may be clear, yet
doubts arise.
"Some rival appealing to
the public on cheapness
alone, may seem to be gain
ing an advantage. In a
given case there will be a
feeling that the public can
not be trusted to distinguish
value. There is always the
temptation to rest the case
on cheapness just this once,
let value take care of itself,
and cater to the desire for
crowds. That tendency has
to be fought constantly, con-
sistently and vigorously.

general acceDtatiOn is GER
