Nesmith, February 15:?Farmers of this section are highly pleased with the weather for the past week, and they are making good use of it getting ready for the new crop. In spite of the cold, rainy weather the first of the year, the tobacco plants are getting up very nicely through this section. We are glad to know that the W 0 W camp at Nesmith is beginning to take on new life. Several of the young men around here have joined and will ride the goat next meeting. Lookout, boys, "Billy" is a "crackerjack." Mr E B McElveen of Cartersville spent several days here last week with his father, Mr A F McElyeen. Miss Muriel Chandler has returned to her home at Benson, after spending several days with her sister, Mrs V W Graham, j Mr Maxie Hemingway purchased a very fine mule from a live stock company a few days ago, but is finding great difficulty in managing him. The young folk of this vicinity enjoyed an entertainment given by Miss Lena McElveen Friday evening at her hospitable home. The hostess met her friends at the door and ushered them into the parlor, which was beautifully decorated witn nya-1 cinths, ferns and numerous other lovely flowers and rare exotics. The 11 time was pleasantly passed away1; playing games, and music furnished by Misses Lena Haddock and Ethel Seybt enhanced much the enjoyment of the occasion. Mr Daniel McElveen of Mouzons I spent the week-end last week at Mr W J Cooper's. We are expecting to hear the wedding-bells ring soon. Listen for i them!

DECLARES THAT RIGHT KIND RUN IN WEEKLY NEWSPAPER IS HIGHLY PROFITABLE. The following remarks were made by E H Burritt of LeRoy, N Y, recently at a public meeting of advertising men and advertising agents. As an expert in the art of adept and adequate advertising, we dare say he has few superiors, having been for many years advertising manager for a big mercantile concern. It *11 t? . - win oe time well spent for every one of our merchants and business men to read carefully his views on advertising as expressed in the following: , In a very large measure the future of the country merchant will be determined by his ability to grasp the idea of the great importance of ; the right kind of advertising in such ^ weekly papers as may be available. He has been extremely slow to see the direction from which comes his J* greatest opportunity. He has wasted vast sums of money on what he has caned advertising. Today you will find many country merchants using the same copy several weeks in succession and complaining that advertising does not pay. We believe this is due to laziness fully as much as to ignorance. It takes carefully prepared copy to be worthy of publication and repeating. Not infrequently you will see advertisements that make you think the author is advertising to make a reputation for himself by trying to be funny. Jokes have their places, but it is not in copy that is written to sell merchandise. Those who appreciate the value of advertising that rings true have been pleased with the nation-wide effort that is being made to stamp out untruthful advertising. If you tell a customer, over the counter, the absolute truth year after year he has confidence in you and will stand by you with his patronage. This holds good in your advertising as well, and the community will read your copy as a matter of education as well as interest to the end that they will be better buyers on account of the truthful information found week after week. If there is ever any doubt, give the public the benefit thereof. In doing this year after year you will unconsciously build a reputation that will stand greater financial stress than a reserve bank account. The spasmodic advertiser becomes quickly discouraged and will tell you that newspaper advertising does not pay. Th^ hardest rock in a stone quarry is not broken by a few mighty and rapid strokes, but yields only after a continuous and steady stroke by the patient worker. The same principle holds good in advertising. The man who does thor uugu ttuu tuuuuuuus au vci uoiijk, week after week and year after year, will win. This does not necessarily mean that he will always use the same size space, but that he willhave something interesting for his customers 52 times during the year. Much advertising space is wasted through lack of vital knowledge about the thing you are trying to advertise. "Know your goods" is an old but very important truth. The advertiser very frequently makes- the mistake of trying to make flowery language hide his ignorance of the thing he is trying to 11 l/nnminn> ViJo 3C1I. unci nii/iuugiuj ?'D goods he should condense his thoughts as much as possible, mak-. ing each statement clear beyond ar doubt. Do You Find Fault with Everybody? An irritable, fault-finding disposition is often due to a disordered stomach. A man with good digestion i3 nearly always good natured.
