Fine fun, isn't It? It Is fun to be in business anyhow?fun to have the landlord come for the rent? screaming fun to have to send a cheque for all those funny bills that come In regularly every month and simply irresistible fun to have to buy bread and butter for the family and plan for the future of the children. Yes, Mr. Retailer, It Is fun?perhaps. You kno wfrom bitter expedience tbnt there is nothing funny nbout bus-, iness. You do not pay your bills from any sense of humor and neither do people give you crodlt from the same cause. There is little fun in paying the wages of a first-class salesman 'who has to assist you in making money to pay your creditors and allow you to tuck a small sum snugly away in your bank against a rainy day. It is all solemn, deadly reality. It requires all the thought and sales help of the highest grade you can get at a reasonable price to car ry through the dally tragedy . Why should you think It fun to write your ads? Do you realize that It Is just as necessary to have sales manship outside your store as it is to have It In It If you wish to be suc cessful? And if you are anxious to increase your business to the point where It will bo classed as amongst tho best producers of the kind, you will find that "outside" salesmanship of the finest order Is absolutely nec essary. Outside salesmanship means ad vertising that brings business. In this category you must put your news paper advertising?that is to say, you put your newspaper advertising in that class if it produces results. It Is this production of re'sults that makes all the difference. Only adver tising space that contains real sales manship will get -real returns. And the construction ril that salesmanship makes all the difference between suc cess and failure. The writing of successful advertis ing is an art or scloncc like photo graphy or medicine. It cannot be ?used successfully by uuiy one who has not studied It as closely as any other art or science. The man who. there fore, tries to practice It for fun is otlly wasting his money and time. You would not allow an untrained clerk or amateur to come into your stojjo and sell your tutest goods to your host customers. And you would call anyone else who -was guilty of such foolishness, a bad merchant. Further, you would not expect a clerk -whom you had engaged to sell groceries, to compound prescriptions or repair watches, It is just the same with advertising salesmanship. Un less you Know the rules of the busi ness you cannot successfully write ads that are absolutely sure to bring cus tomers Into your store and money in to your cash drawer. If you are in business for fun it k wise to write your own ads for there is nothing easier or "funnier" than to spend your money on newspa pers for Ushly, lint if you are In bus iness for money, it is better to get someone to write them for you who knows how to bring customers to your store and. Incidentally, bw'oU your bank account. Just let mo tell you bow "easy" it is to write ads and then tell mo bow much fun there Is In construing ads on which the Increase of your busi ness depends and on which you have to build a great part of your future. There are four points to every buc cessmul advertisement: First, you must get and hold the attention of the possible customer in competition with every other advertiser in the pa per; second, you have to create Inter est in the goods you are selling; third, you must bring settled conviction in to the customer's mind* that she wants the goods more than the money In her pocket or bank roll; and last, but by no means least, you must get the customer Into your store to actually buy the goods, That's all there Is to lit Easy, Isn't It? There iRre WOll defined rules for doing all this but those rules have to bo learned. After those rules bnve been acquired, you muy, apply cy chology and many other loligles" to got the desired results, the kjn?l *f results that has bull? larr inrtunes for Wonamakcr, *.\>r great do^aitmcnt store merchant, and others. To treat this?iiicstton In a spirit of fun Is like a butcher trying to undertake the practice of a physician. He may know how to carve meat but ho does not know how to cut out your appendix so successfully that you can live af terwards. If you are really bent on fun. Mr. Retailer try * base-ball or solitaire whist but keep away from writing ad vertisements that are not only wast ing your time but preventing your store from getting that increased suc cess to which It Is entitled. If you cannot readily get a local man to construct your ads, subscribe to a syndicated advertising service. Thero are several on the market. These services are usually supplied In series of llfty-two with lifty-two copper-plate electros of the Illustra tions, one for each week in the year, at prices ranging from one dollar per week up. Much of the advertising In thoso services Ins been classed as equal to Tee b"Sl 5 has made suc cess for the big city department stores and national advertisers. Some re duced facsimiles of t'.is kind of adver tising may be seen at the top of thl? column. This syndicated advertising ser vice puts within the reach of even the smallest retailer, advertlsments that he could not obtain individually for many hundreds of dollars. They aro constructed by men who have a coun try wide reputation as retail advertis ing experts and who are paid large salaries not only for their skill but for their experience in constructing just such advertisements as have made success for thousands of merchants In the same position as yourself. Full particulars of what is prob ably the most successful of those ad vertising services may be obtained from the editor of this newspaper. I earnestly advise retailers to make early application for only one service enn be sold In each town and if you are a live merchant you are certainly losing money every day you are with out Buch a service. DANGER IN DELAY. Kidney Diseases Are Too Dangerous f?r Laurens People to Neglect. The groat danger of kidney troubles Is that they get firm hold before the sufferer recognizes them.

The following essay was written by Miss Mary Blackwell and won for the writer the third prize In the recent contest of The Advertiser for the best essay on the City Cemetery: The improvement of conditions at the Laurens Cemetery within tho past nine monthB has been most wonder ful. Where formerly there was practical ly no enclosure, now there is a rock wall all the length of tho street, with a nice wire fence on top, being en closed at the northeast and south sides by a high wire fence. The bank has been graded off and has pretty grass growing on it. There are two gates, one near the north west corner which is used only on occasion and the other at the south west corner which is open at seven o'clock, A. M., and locked for the night by the custodian at seven-thirty P. M. The custodian aittyu keeps tho walks and roads in order, and to*" a charge (by the executive committee) of three dollars each per annum ho keeps clean and neat the individual lots of all who wish It done. ? As a result of the efforts of the committee and by reason of the awak ening of general interest in the matter, many lot-owners have recently gone to considerable trouble and expense to beautify and keep clean their lots. Where weeds and wire grass lately grew, flowerB are now tho rule rather than exception; and, all about the place which seemed so desolate and forgotten, there is now the undenia ble evidence of care and love. The benefit to the community of such a transformation and tho civic necessity to continue this movement and never let It stop ought to be obvi ous because it speaks well for the town to have the cemetery well tak en care of, and it is where our loved ones are buried.

JOHN* F. GRIFFIN, As Administrator of Estate of Wil liam Cnson Hill, Deceased. August 2.?1 mo. Those Sudden Pains in the Back are Twinges that tell you of Hidden, Dangerous Kidney Troubles. When tho kidneys nro sick, sharp lartlng pains strike you in the back loins or sides pains that almost take your breath away, and often make you cry out In agony. It is almost Impossible to mistake these kidney pains, for they seem to center about the small of the back, where the kidneys nro located. Still there are many persons who think backache Is merely a muscular trouble?something that is expected to pnss away with a little rest, aided by a plaster or by rubbing with lini ment. Sick kidneys cannot get well alone. They need quick help; If it Is not given, the useful work of the kidneys stop. The filtering of the blood Is suspended. Poisons circulate freely with the blood?attack muscles, brain, nerves and vital organs. The kidneys swell and throb and that Is what makes those sudden stabs of pain In tho back. You won't be rid of the trouble until the kidneys are cured. . pore is no other remedy for sick kidneys quite equal to Hloodine Blood and Kidney Tablets, This simple veg etable formula has been used for 100 years and has never been excelled be cause It Is a remedy for the kidneys only?does not act on the bowels or On any other organs. It soothes while It stimulates, relieves all congestion and irritation, cures backache, regu lates the urine and restores, a per fect filtering of the blood. Gorham. Maine, June 2, 1907.
