for us to move out Of our old mortal
bodies into new and immortal ones.
This transition we call death To the
one who has made preparation, il
holds no terrors, but is a sweet and
pleasant experience. This is evidenced
BY the many beautiful scenes marking
the earthly end of devout christian
lives

The dread OF death finds its root in
the fear Of judgment We are not
judged here in this life. but the sen

God. We cannot be judged till all the

at what we call death. for we live on

influenced. This influence. for eithe;

John Gregg Fires into Door at Ton
Of Stairway Crowd Drawn

Yesterday afternoon about 3:45

reports from a gun, coming from thu

over Elliott Brothers barber shop
Within a few seconds the sidewalk

The only facts known are that the
shots came from a shotgun in the
hands OF John Gregg, and were fired
into a door at the top Of the stairs.
No one was hit and the excitement
soon died down
Gregg was taken into custody, but
released soon afterward. pending the
filing of charge against him. AS yet,
no charge has been filed.
The county attorney is Investigate

taken is not known. According I'd
rumor, the man at whom it is supposed
that the shots were directed has no
made any complaint against Gregg
A number of stories in regard to The
affair are current, but in the absenc'
Of any sworn statements it is impos
sible to give an authentic account D

Two Customers Seldom Alike;

OF course, this proposition Of learning your
customers is more difilcult task than merely
talking about 1t. In this the small town dealer
has considerable advantage over the city
merchant, for his trade remains largely the
same, and in time he can easily pick up
points which viii be OF substantial aid to him.
The entire selling force should be put to
work along this line. Encourage the clerks to

they come IN contact; then. by getting togeth-

each person with whom you deal; Il

to the exclusion OF practically all other
things. The appeal to vanity must be used
in some instances, for there are those who
want quality above all else; they like exclu-
siveness, and the matter OF price Is Of Sec
ondary consideration Then there Is the COM
fort loving class; the people who enjoy the
good things Of life. They are very suscepti-
bic to selling arguments which smack Of COM
fort and convenience There 10 also the man
who regards bodily health as the par amount

should be brought to play.
