It was reasonable to sup pose that the moonshiners were sore over the heavy losses sustained in the raids of several days ago and would seek to avenge themselves, day that they found their mistake, j But no opposition was encountered. j Afifi/lrfargi'et Aferkloy Bucklen’s Arnica Salve The Best Salve In The World. A search was instituted, and he was discovered lying face downards near the gasoline tank. At the inquest, it being brought out that he had been unwell and had been subject to heart trouble, the verdict was ‘‘that he came to his death by natural causes, and inhaling gasoline." The plaintiff alleges that the house was air-tight, and there was no ^lace for the gas to escape, and that Howze did not know and had not been the danger of inhaling It is understood that 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 ab.’e 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 salasman. The reason is simple. He knows the goods from A to Z. He probably has pur chased them. He knows his aims. His arguments eanj 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.

There was recently developed a strong public sentiment against the manufacture of whiskey and a law and order league, it is said, has been oiganized.
