Advertising is called by some an art. If it be an art it is the art of telling a story simply and convincingly. Nobody knows more about the strong qualities of an establishment than the proprietor who oversees it. Other things being equal, nobody should be able to write more convinc ingly of the articles he of fers for sale. In a store where the employer sella goods side by side with his clerks it is rare that the employer will not be the best salesman. The reason is simple. He knows the goods from A to Z. He probably has pur chased them. He knows his aims. His arguments carry weight because they are convincing. The same arguments pre sented in the same way, with the same enthusiastic spirit, the same knowledge of detail, would attract new customers if presented through the advertising col umns of this paper.

From information ob tainable, Captain Standley, Mr. Hux ford and several’others were in the commissary with both front and back doors open. Standly was waiting on a customer and as ho stooped down to get some rice out of a barrel with his back to ward tho front door, a load of buck shot from that direction struck him near tho shoulder and he fell over and only spoke once before dying.

Some time ago on one of his trips to Savannah, Mr. Huxford employed him in that city to go and work in his commissary at Huxford. Captain Standley was an old sea captain and followed this life for a number of years. Druvery of the Kuasiana.
