About Advertising.

There are a number of new
firms who have engaged adver-
tising space in the Independent,
whose ads appear il this issue.
The Independent will not hand
lie any advertising contr acts from
anyone except those whose repu-
tation to give the public a square
deal is established beyond ques-
ton.
From now on, in this paper our
readers will miss all of the start
ling headlines which cause them
to read half down the column be-
fore they realize that they have
been wasting eyesight on pat
ent medicine ad. After January
lst, medicine ads 10 the Independ-
ent will be CONSPICUOUS by their
absence, and in their place can
be found the professional cards
of many of the best physicians in
the state, and McNairy county
has as fine a lot of doctors as ever
entered the medical profession.
We do not mean to say that all
the medicine concerns are fakes,
for they are not. Years of exper-
ience has made US know that the
readers of a country newspaper
do not care to read them, and for
this and other reasons, they will
all be discontinued.
If an ad in this paper can ben
eft those whose ads appear in
this issue, we see no reason why
judicious advertising wouldn't
help your business. Our space is
for sale and we will appreciate
your business, and will make you
rates on application.

To the christian who reads this,
let this remind you that God says,
The parvest truly is plenteous
but the laborers are few" He
also says, my word shall not re-
turn unto me void" Just a word
in person, a<letter, a flower, in
His name. may be the means of
chan0ing the career of sinner
perhaps your own boy or girl,
your neighbor or the stranger
you may chance to meet, is just
yearning for some one to speak a
word of encouragement to them.
The Holy Book also tells us he
that winneth souls is wise"
May we all get a real vision of
the lost soul weeping. wailing
and gnashing his teeth in agony
where no help can come to his re-
lief.
There is real joy in service. If
yon don't believeit, tryit. Christ
ian. don't you want souls for
your hire? God says he will give
them to you.
Sincerely yours,
GEO. M. GooCH.
