Lucky for the Merchant
Boy Invested $50 Instead Of $40 In An Advertisement.

In an accidental way D, Crawford
who established in st. Louis what
is now the great department store
OF d. Crawford 4 Co., became a firm
believer in heavy and judicious adj
vertising. At the close Of the civil
war Mr.. Crawford was doing bust
in small and unpretentous store
at the corner of Broadway and
Franklin avenue. He had never ad :
vertised, but he thought at bar
gain 10000 army blankets, and
those things just then were in big
demand. 1t suddenly occurred to
him that he would put an adver-
tisement in the Missouri Republican
which was then by long odds the
leading newspaper Of the city. His
idea was to expend not more than
SO. His change was short, and
when he sent the boy to the office
with the advertisement he gave him
a fifty dollar bin aud told him to
put in $40 worth Of advertising and
bring the change back to the store.

Enforcing The Prohibition Law.

It il but repeating the demands
of the law itself to say that the pro-
hibition law should be enforced in
Lee county, and enforced thorough
" and impartially. The recent
grand jury was very active in this
particular but it was not any more
active than grand juries before it
should have been, it would seem.
The people Of Lee county are COM
ing to have more respect for the
laws and their impartial enforce
ment. The next grand jury that
convenes here in November should
do its duty as fully as the one which
met recently. The sentiment Of
the majority Of the people Of the
county is in favor Of the enforce
ment of the laws, and this senti-
ment is what the grand Jurors have
back OF them.
The prohibition law has been
violated in this county in the past.
That was taken for granted even
before any indictments were made,
because it has been violated in every
county in Georgia. But that is no
reason why it should continue to be
violated indefinitely, 1t should be
true instead that this law should be
so we'll enforced that violations Of
it will be diminished, if not entirely
stopped.
In this particular the people Of
Lee county have probably been no
worse than those ia many other Of
the counties Of the state. But it
should be the pride of the people
Of this county to make its record
for law enforcement second to that
of no other county in the state.
Every citizen should work with that
end in view and help to make Lee
county's name even better than it
is.
