This customer is a well knowi hotel company, whose name, if aim pie justice were done, ought to Ik made Known, but he shall be name less here. This company sent u? u letter a few days ago enclosing au advertisement, which it called t "news item," which would havt been worth about $;l.uO to publish The writer assured us of hi6 "ap preciation in advance" for the fav or of letting our readers know thai on a certain date, this hotel, whicl is able to pay its publicity bills veould be open for the season, anc that it was the hope of this com pauy that they could make tliii place THE watering place of Georg ia. Here :s our answer in all narticu lars, except the name and address of the hotel: Ocilla, Ga., May 30. 1911. Gentlemen: ? We are in receipt of your lettei of recent date enclosing a "news item" which announces the opening of the ? Hotel with a request that we publish the same, and paying us in advance in appreciation.

In our party there will be a wife and two children, with possib ly a nurse, a maid and chaffeur and wo e*i>ect to stay about ten days or two weeks. If you think you would be interested in an exchange of courtesies, will be glad to hear from you further. Perhaps you wonder why a country editor has so large a retinue and to enlighten you will say thai wo make our money, much of it al least, by publishing free notices ol the sort you send us, and are get I ting positively wealthy?in appre eiatiou.
