There was an old geezer and he had a lot of sense;
He started business a dollar eighty
The dollar for stock and the eighty for

Well he bought goods a space
And he played that system a smile on his face
The customers flocked to his twoby-four
And soon he had to hustle for a regular store.
Upon the square, where the people pass,
He gobbled up corner that all plate glass.
He fixed the windows with the he had,
And he told in a half-page ad
He soon had EN- coming and he quit
And he wouldn't down lit.
Well he's kept things humping the ever since
And everybody calls him the Prince.
Some say it's luck but that's all bunk
Why, he was doing business when the times punk
People have purchase and the geezer wise
For he knew the way to get em ADVERTISE!

The long hoped for but hardly eX-

Tuesday morning in Marietta when
Mr.. Harry DuPre of Anderson
Brothers Company paid zoe a pound
to Mr.. o. L. Phillips for a bale of
cotton. This was the first bale of
the season or rather several de-
cades of seasons when such a price
was paid for cotton.
This honor did not last long for
Anderson Brothers or Mr.. Phillips
however, for Mr.. j. NJ. Fowler did
the same thing that morning and
then it seemed to be the order of
the day. as our rural reporters say
Then the most unusual thing hap
pened, Benson Brothers Company
came right along and bought bale
from Mr.. M. G. Paris for 20 1-16c
and one from Mr.. Tom Warren for
the same figure.
This was too good to last how
ever and Wednesday the price broke
more than one cent a pound and
climbed back little. Thursday
10 IA cents was the prevailing
price with the market very unset
tied.

THE MYSTERY OF THE MoEwE.
What is the German raider Moewe!

What is the German raider Moewe!
This mornings dispatches say that the Ger
man vessel, which leaped into International
fame with the capture of the British steamer
Appam off the Canary Islands, is continuing
to harry British shipping off the west coast OF
Northern Africa. Yet the British admiralty
and the naval experts of neutral countries have
been unable to identify the vessel. There have
been guesses that she was originally German
supply ship, that she was tramp steamer cap
tured by the Germans in some obscure part OF
the seas and converted into an auxiliary
cruiser; that she is real warship, which some
how slipped through the British patrol of the
North Sea. The stories of her exploits rival
in audacity those of the Emden and the Karls-
ruhe, the Prinz Eitel Friederichsand the Kron-
prinz Wilhelm. OF this quintet the Moewe is
now the only one continuing her career. The
Emden was sunk in the Indian Ocean; the
Karlsruhe disappeared somehow, somewhere,
and various stories are afoat as to her fate.
The Kronprinz Wilhelm and the Prinz Eitel
FREDERICK are interned at Hampton Roads.
But the Moewe is very much at sea, and SO, in
the figllratiye sense, are those whose interest
II is to protect the commerce of the Allies.
