ADVERTISING FOR
Dull BUSINESS


When a dull business season strikes
business houses, the proper method to
pursue to liven things up is to start
a newspaper advertising campaign.
Few towns are fortunate enough to
have a paper OF the caliber Of the In
dependent for this purpose. There
is no advertising which can take the
place Of newspaper advertising. 1t
is the one method OF reaching the
people which never fails. The habit
sticking a card in a show window,
and calling it advertising Is no more
advertising than walking across the
street is travelling. The proper place
to give your wares publicity is in the
columns Of a real live home paper.
The Independent is a paper of this
class. 1t goes into the homes of this
city and is read by the best class Of
trade. An advertisement in the col
umns. of this paper is sure to bring
result. Don't wait for the dull season
to strik you. Forestall it by the use
Of judicious advertising in the indie
pendent. Money spent in this way is
never lost. It is like casting bread
upon the waters.

REGISTRATION BOOKS
CLOSE TUESDAY


There have been $50 voters regis
tered at the registration Office in this
city up to date. AS the time for reg
istration closes OF next Tuesday af-
ternoon, there will not be many more
voters to register, possibly not over
80 more All who have not registered
should do so at once as the time for
the closing of the books will be here
before we know it and it is very i'm
portant that every voter in the county
be prepared to cast his vote on cleo
ton day. The privilege of voting
is one of the greatest privileges man
can enjoy and anyman who neglecst
to exercise this power is letting one
Of his greatest rights slip away from
him.
