Vfh?n to Advertise. Do you remember the fellow which told the Arkansaw traveler that he j^id not reshiugle his house because he could not work on the job wheu it was raining and in goo 1 weather the house did not need reshingling? We are reminded of him by the merchant who says that he can not afford to advertise when times' are hard, and he does not need to advertise when business is brisk. It is useless to call such a merottpiitiiin to John Wiinamaker's i example. He made a fortune on the principle of the man who drank whis key when he felt sirk to make him fee! well, and when he felt well to make him feel better. John Wanamakei made a fortune of millions by mixing brains with printer's ink?but then he had the brains. He advertised all the time, but most'?heavily when times were dullest. His theory was that when dollars in eirulation were scarce, the lion's share of them went t to the merchant who hustled for them ?and he considered advertising the most profitable kind of hustling. i epared is prepared to meet j 1 business is the man I to achieve ltermanent I s of vital importance, lie can do little.

The meeting held in the Civic League Hall on Thursday afternoon in the in- ri fcerest of a public library for Cberaw, tl was a very interesting occasion. The C hall was comfortably filled, and the ffhort talks by several gentlemen present, on the different phases of Library tc work, were given intelligent and appreciative hearing. Mr. D. S. Matheson's paper on the s] Old* Lyceum deserves more uian yarjD-ir tng notice. It makes good reading as'te town history. fli Mrs. Carroll, Mrs. Crosland and Mrs. Townsend, of Bennettsville, were attractive guests of the League for the u afternoon., Mrs. Carroll's bright, well- tl written paper on the evolution of their s public library, from its small begin- di ning of perhaps a dozen volurans to its tt present flourishing condition, was n greatly enjoyed, and the League will doubtless apply practically many of the ideas so generously tendered. si Miss Smith, of Rhode Island, spoke- tj briefly and pleasantly of library work di in her own home town; and altogether It was fully demonstrated that the League has made no mistake in deter- g< mining to add to Cheraw's attractions ti that most important one?a ipublic library. Those who wish to help in this work ii ,*an do so by contributing books, and w by joining the Library Association. 0] And if any one has a book case out of a job, it will make the Leaguers very happy to accept it as a loan or?gift ti "Chic Hat Shop."
