ADVERTISING PAYS-"ST0P MY
AD."

An advertiser rang us up within
"a hours after the last Wednesdays
paper was out. II just want to say
advertising pays-I have had full re-
turns. Could have rented my rooms
several times over already. Better
stop the ad."
Last week the Times-Picayune,
like The Leader, demonstrated it's
value as an advertising medium. The
advertisement of seven-room house
for rent, within a few hours brought
fifty answers to the inserter of the
ad.
And yet, by comparison, The Lead
er is ahead of the big daily, just as
Brookhaven is ahead of New Orleans
with its old clothes contribution for
the Armenian and Belgian sufferers,
although it contributed four hun
dred pounds to several tons in New
Orleans.
You can work it out and see for
yourself-given the subscription list

In Memory Of "Uncle George" Bris-


"Unele George" as we all loved to
call him, was born in August, 1849,
and passed from earth to Heaven on
April 1st, 1919. He spent his entire
life in the neighborhood in which
he was living at the time of his
death.
Uncle George was man Of char
acter, possessing the very highest
standard of morals. He had been a
member of the Baptist church for 40
years and was always true to his
church. He was an earnest worker
in the. Sunday School and prayer
meeting, and was uncompromising
against the powers of Satan. To
know him was to love him.
He leaves to mourn his going .
wife and eleven children, who were
all at his bedside except Mr.. ]. Alex,
who is in France.
The chair is vacant by the hearth,
The staff is laid aside;
The well-Ioved voice is heard no
more
He's crossed deaths silent tide.
The blessings sweet. the pray'rs he
breathed,
With holy reverence here.
Ger us in mem'ry linger still,
To comfort, guide and cheer.
He could not with US ever stay,
We're trying not to grieve;
But humbly bow to Jesus will,
And in His word believe.
And when the call for us is come,
With gladness we shall see
Our precious loved one safe with
Christ,
And with him ever be.
He lives! He lives! Oh, happy
thought,
With hosts of loved ones there
In Heaven, free from toll and pain,
Eternal joy to share.
