Otts Becretary “She Certainly Appreciate It; She Certainly Will.” Have you read “The Southern Maiden’s Reply?” It is a touching little love poem by Mr. Charles Frederick Stansbury, now going the rounds. Under the magnolias the youth is telling his love in language hot as lava from Vesuvius. He speaks thoughts that breathe in words that burn to the extent of about thirty lines of verse. “And this is what the maiden said— Her words were choice and few: ‘I certainly do appreciate it; I certainly do.’ ” One of the things that women certainly do appreciate —they certainly do—is 'i*xy a full page advertise ment of bargains in a store near enough for them to visit. In the big cities such pages ap pear daily. Why? Be cause the merchants know that the women appreciate it. They cer tainly do know it. All women are very appreciative in the mat ter of shopping bar gains. They are so ap preciative that they make mental note of the things they want, as ad vertised, and make a bee line for the store that keeps those things on hand and lets them know about it. If the merchants in the smaller cities and towns—this one, for in stance—would do more of this kind of advertising, the women certainly would appreciate it; they certainly would. i AN3 THE MERCHANTS CERTAINLY WOULD BE BENE FITED: THEY CERTAINLY WOULD. The Messrs. Fowler have raised a large number of fine cattle for mark et tihs year and they are finding ready sale for them, which demonstrates the fact that cattle may be raised j profitably in our county. Taking i.i to consideration Cherokee’s water power, her wonderful diversity of valu able minerals, her rich and frult- i ful soil, her enterprising citizenship and her glorious climate, it is ; only a question of time when she will : become the greatest county in this j j great State of ours. Once the de- ! velopment of our mineral products' begin there will be no stopping and ' the wealth which will be taken out' of the earth will dazzle the world, j As was stated in these columns a few days ago the object of this pa per aside from making a living is the development of our resources and the betterment of our people. If we can induce people of capital to come into our county and help de velop the wealth which we honestly believe is lying under our feet and within easy distance of the surface, we shall do so. We would regret to see any one come into our county for this purpose and lose money. We have so much faith, however, In the wonderful possibilities of Cherokee county that we would not hesitate to advise our best friend that he would not lose on an investment anywhere within the mineral belt of ourciunty.
