THE LIFE THAT sPOuS.

Norman Selby ("Kid Nc
Coy"), who is being held at Los
Angeles for the murder of the
woman whom he had intended to
make his tenth wife, is one of
the most remarkable fellows who
ever figured in the history of
pugilism. His career was full OF
more variety and color than
would have served to equip
dozen men with the stuff Of
which novels and dramas are
made. In his youth he was a
handsome rascal, a fact suffici-
emily corroborated by mis- num-
erous matrimonial adventures.
One of these plentiful wives of
his was the widow of a million
aire. She tolerated him for five
years, and if he had only be-
haved himself he might have set
tied down to life Of ease and
even of social responsibility.
But he couldn't behave. He was
cOngenitaIly tricky and restless;
and it was by trickery that he
achieved many of his ring vic

Mrs. Ferguson s Victory

Sumter is one of the few coun-
ties in Georgia which will har-
vest a goodly corn crop this
year. Reports coming to us
from North Georgia state that
the corn crops are hopelessly lost
this year.
Monday a prominent banker
said to us in discussing Sumter's
1924 crops:
1--WE have made fine corn
crop this year-one of the best
in years, l think. But tell your
readers to save every car. toll
them corn is valuable and will be
moro valuable soon. Gather ev-
cry ear, store it carefully and
later it will bring them a hand
some profit"
Fortunes are made by this
simple rule: Knowing WHAT
to buy and then KIN wing
WHEN to sell it. That is about
all there is to successful mer-
chandising or 81 ccessful farm
ing. The farmer who knows
what to plant. when and where
to sell it, will make a success.
We have produced SPLEEN
did corn crop. Gather and pre-
serve every ear of it = until
the right time comes to sell it
then there will be a profit.

A LESSON FOR ADVERTISERS.

A LESSON FOR ADVERTISERS.
The other day we saw an article
In an exchange which read some
thing like this:
Once upon a time, a man had a
furnace which was not heating his
home with satisfaction. One day
he became angry and going down
to the basement stood before the
furnace and exclaimed: Not an
other lump of coal viii you get
until you give me more heat"
The poor fellow froze to death.
Herein is a lesson Tor adver-
tisers. Some men put little ad
in the PAPER and if it doesn't
bring the results that he expect
ed, he says: 81 won't advertise
again until the other ad brings
results" So the poor man
freezes to death.
For further proof of this look
up statistics and compare the fig
ures of failures among adver-
tisers with the figures of failures
of Observation-Disclosures who
freeze to death.-Macon News.
