STRANGE CIVIL WAR INCIDENT
Negro With Piece Of Spent Ball In
Head Is Restored to consciousness
by Surgical Operation.

After the battle of Bull Run when
the whole country was holding up its
hands in dismay and breathing hard
in the realization that the war was
not, after ALL to be a picnic for the
northern troops. 1, together with many
other doctors and surgeons. rushed

Orleans Times Democrat.

by an affable old negro woman to her
cabin, in the outskirts of the city.
She came to me in tears: Doc
tah, / des wisht yoh come an see my
Samson. He pears mons GUS curious,
an he acts des like he 'stracted."
At her cabin l found her son, a tire
mendous fellow, as black as coal
and evidently an athlete. with no evi-
dence of a wound upon his body. but
with a tendency to bear off to one side
as he walked. an apparent inability to
talk, and possessed of persistent ef-
fort to march and keep time to mar
tial music, which he could not do.
Aunt Hannah told me that her son
had always been strong and healthy.
and that when he left Washington
with the army he was perfectly sound
and "des like de res of de folks; but
dey fotch him back to his po' ole
nanny des like yoh Sc him, doctah.

Advertising and Religion.

Advertising in some aspects is
good deal like religion. Those who
get religion" from an evangelistic
burst of oratory are often disappoint-
ed in its effect upon their lives. Spas
modic advertisers are frequently the
converts of an advertising enthusiast
who predicts great and immediate re-
suits in the business.
There are backsliders in advertis-
ing as we'll as religion. The percent
age is probably just as high and they
all blame "the religion" instead of
their understanding Real advertis
ing must be as much a part of the
business Itself as true religion is O.

a car window, striking and seriously
injuring Miss Millie Neff, of Millers-
Vile. The assailant escaped in the
darkness. but was arrested in Lancas-
ter later.

tiser to create a strong desire for his
Offering
The most profitable and most diff
ficult method of advertising. and
which method is seldom used by the
small town merchant, Is to exploit
the quality, style, newness, worth and
desirability of his merchandise with
consistent price as minor considera-
ton. But can you imagine the coun-
try merchant with so many different
lines of goods on his shelves attempt
ing to determine the logical items to
advertise, attempting to describe the
features Of his merchandise which
will appeal to the public, attempting
to choose oc rather find the words,
phrases and expressions which will
suggest the desirability of his wares?
Does not this suggest to your mind
some Of the problems of the country
advertiser?
Or, if he chooses the less. difficult
but more frequently used method Of
appeal. he will talk price in his an
nouncements. He will continually be
holding special sales." selling goods
for cost and less And If he gives
values even half as great as his ad
vertisements tell about, he will find
himself conducting business at loss
or If, after leading his customers to
expect wonderful bargains. he at
tempts to obtain regular prices, he
will soon discover that his ads have
lost all effectiveness
But in this age of publicity, the
public looks to the merchants an
nouncements, not always for the story
of wonderful bargain event, but
they are expecting to find informa-
ton on what is good and what is
bad, information to help them decide
what they want, Information concern
ing the most advantageous place to
secure what they desire.
SO the successful advertiser in city
or village must choose for his sub
jects goods in which the public is
interested; he must describe the
goods in an interesting, truth
full and forceful manner; he
must advertise frequently and regu-
larry, but most important and ditflcult
of all, he must make his ads attrac-
tive. appealing and easily read
1t is my opinion that the news
paper can increase the pulling power
of the ads % to so per cent. by a
little effort along the lines of effec-
tive display
So, gentlemen, l say again that ad-
vertising is most difficult proposi-
ton for the country merchant. We
merchants need your cooperation and
help. You publishers need our sup
port. Let us get closer together on
this problem of publicity 1t must
be solved by both merchant and pub
Usher alike before either of us can
succeed In the fullest measure in our
undertakings.

Waiting for business to get
better doesn't help improve ii
to any noticeable extent.
ADVERTISING GETS RETURNS
No Other Legitimate Method Equal to
Publicity. lnteIigently Directed,
for Selling Goods.

Effort inteligently directed through
publicity brings larger returns than
any other legitimate method. This is
often demonstrated in business of
many sorts and nowhere does II
show up with such continuous activ-
ity as i'll newspaper advertising. Right
ly placed an advertisement is an in
vitation to a possible customer that
has a vital weight. The advertise
ment of a reputable business, in the
pages of a reputable newspaper. is
illustrating the word of honor of the
man behind the publicity. A merchant
tells through an advertisement what
he wants the public to know. He
states a fact. That fact, IL he is the
reputable man he should be, can be
depended upon, day after day and is
sue after issue of the paper in which
his publicity is gained. 1t is the trade
mark of his calling, the guarantee of
honest merchandising and the adver-
tisements of these reputable dealers
are readable.
And advertising brings in larger re-
turns. 1t is impossible to find a
method that will make more dollars,
for the investment, as can be brought
out in trade directed by intelligent
advertising of honest merchandise or
honest needs or wants. The money
spent in this way reaches directly
more people than could possibly be
found by any other square method.
And there are countless illustrations
where it has been shown that adver-
tising pays. There is recent case
where a local man applied for the full
tillment of a desire through the classi-
fled columns of this paper. The cost,
entirely, was less than a dollar, for
four insertions. The first days pa
per brought him thirty-eight replies
and during the running of the ad-
vertisement there were fifty responses.
1t would have been impossible to have
gained what was thus gained, in any
other manner. than by the expendi-
ture of a great many times this much
money.

Some Funny Letters.

Jim Sweeney, who standardizes
weights and measures for Father
Penn's cities and counties, has some
funny letters from people who fail to
comprehend why he can not look after
their measures as well. The law only
provides that the chief shall standard
ize official weights and measures. His
mail, nevertheless, contains letters
like this:
Il am going to send you a new set
of weights l bought for my store
want to be sure the company sold me
the right ones. VIII you please put
your stamp on them"
please see if the weights | bought
ere o. X. | don't want to get pinch
ed"
Mr. Sweeney has to tell them that
the law does not permit the weights
or measures of individuals to be gone
over But they neser seem to like
that kind of letter.
