Count/ publlihert receive subicrip- 110119 now and then from city firms who can have no interest in the local news of the paper. This paragraph in ihe New York Times may explain the reason for these “foreign" sub scriptions: ‘ A wholesale grocer in this city, who has become rich at the business, says his rule is that when he sells a bill of goods on credit to immediately subscribe for the local paper of his debtor. So long as his customer advertised liberally, he rested, but at soon as lie began to contract his advertising space he took tho fact as evidence that there was troble ahead and invariably went for the debtor. Said he: 'The man who is too poor to make his bnsiness known is too poor to do business. The withdrawal of an advertisement is evidence of weak ness that business man are not slow to set upon. There’s nothing Ilk# it.,” Here is another reason why the country merchant cannot afford to ignore advertising in the home paper. And so We Do. “After all," says the Fork Gaines, Ga., Gazette, “the man bshind the mule is tho one w we all depend on year in and year out." Stiff hats cover a multitude of soft brains.

The field was near tha house und Mrs. llurmou had left bur infant, only three or foar months old, and their only child, in the house alone. Tha mother had not been in the field a great while when smoke was seen to be issuing from the house. The father and mother went in haste to their home, o*ily to lind that tha Are was beyond control. An effort was made to gain admit tance but the Haines drove them back. They had gained such head way it was impossible to enter and the agonizing spectacle of mother and father being compelled to stand and witness the destruction of their home and the awful death of their infant was presented to the sympathizing neighbors who had gathered to render assistance. The unfortunate peo ple lost everything they possessed, not even a change of clothing was saved. Besides the loss of thoir household goods und thoir infant they lost nearly a bale of cotton by the tire. On the same day Mr. Thomas Mill- wood’s house, together with a con siderable quantity of seed cotton, was destroyed by fire.
