I Every section of the country is sub? ject to a periodical raid by tlio slick gentleman with the advertising chart, I in which ho will sell the advertiser a ! choice position at from $2 to $10. ac ! cording to the credulity of the patron j and the estimated size of his pocket j book. Of these charts, all the i way from twenty-live to fifty, or occasion? ally one hundred, may be scattered about. Sometimes they are not even scattered about, but are printed- and disposed of in bulk, where thcyj will never do any one any harm or good. A case has recently come to our a't tcntion of one of these chart gentle? men who had an edition of twolhun dred of these cash absorbers printed, and whose solicitude for the gentle? men who had patronized him vfas so slight that ho did not even "lift"' the edition from the o.aee in which it was printed. The oily gentleman who manipulated tho chart scheme left a copy with each manufacturer or firm represented thereon, collected his money, and skipped from town be? tween two days. It was afterward learned that he had promised to issue 5,000 copies and distribute thekn all over tho state. Some firms paid as high as $10 for a small space! Ho claimed to have netted about $320 in six days. Most of bis victims, without doubt, were tho manufacturers who ''did not believe in newspaper adver? tising." He did not catch a single re? tail dealer who was posted as to adver tisiugandthe mediums through which it pays to operate. Tho advertising chart deal is only one of almost numb', rless devices re? sorted to by plausible but indolent fel? lows, who find it easier to skip i about the country working up schemes of this kind than to settle down to any le? gitimate line of work. The merchant or manufacturer who puts his money into an advertising chart could usually save valuable time and secure the satue results by thrusting the same amount of hard cash into his office stove. The result won hi he precisely tho same? his money would be gone without any compensating return. Pointers Without Charge. The dealer who says advertising does not pay has expected it to make a for? tune for him in a few weeks. When a newspaper once gets the reputation of not being a paying medi? um for the advertiser its race is run. Advertising is a gear in the ma? chine of a well regulated store. It can? not sell the goods itsdf, it only deliv? ers the customer, as it were. More business men attribute their success to the judicious use of printers1 ink than to any other one thing. Are you doing all you can to secure trade' Eternal advertising is the price of trade. Some argue that it is expensive to advertise. It is the most profitable expense you can have if you handle it properly. Always move a little ahead of tho trade. As one local advertiser is wont to say: ''Anticipate their wants." Don't wait until Christmas before you advertise holiday goods. Always ge: in your announcements in season. It is a mistake to think that any rep? utable newspaper is indifferent as to its advertising bringing the investor a profit. This paper .would not receive a cent from a dissatisfied patron who had given its columns a thorough test. Your business won't move along un? less you keep pushing it. One way to push it is by advertising. Sehet a newspaper with a large and growing circulation, like this paper, for in? stance. Change your ad. at least twice a week aud leave nothing to what is called "luck," and you will always be what is cailed '"lucky." Did you ever know that there is an anti-advertising society r Well, there is. It is com posed of doctors, and some doctors in this city arc members of it. too. Still you often s* e the names of doctors in the newspapers, don't you? and mostly in connection with cases of theirs. These members are not opposed to having their names in the papers in the. way of free "putt's," but to adver? tise, they hold, is an evidence of weak? ness. Now, how's that? Energy in Advertising. Thoroughness, industry and tact are necessary in writing and keeping up a series of paying announcements. Read? ers nowadays demand variety in what they read, whether it be in their liter? ary matter, their news or their adver? tisements. Monotony tires them. Brev? ity and spice are absolutely essential to success in advertising. Every mer? chant can, with profit, study the meth? ods employed by large advertisers in attracting attention to their wares. It is not necessary that the style of any one of them be copied literally, but points can be secured from each and all which will be of assistance in work? ing up a series of remunerative an? nouncements. Each advertiser should use such suggestions as come in his way for all there is in them, adapting them to his own particular needs. Above all things never advertise your competitor by scolding about him. Ad? vertise your own goods and get all the return you can for your money. Dont get into a rut. 3Iako Your Ad. Attractive. Nearly every merchant takes special pains to keep his store looking attrac? tive. Tho object is to please the eye of the customer; it has the desired ef? fect. A little pains taken to have your ad. bright and attractive will also pay you. Advertising pays those who har? ness it properly and make it work. The Natural Advertising Medium. The local weekly is the natural me? dium for reachiug the vast number o.t people who live in the small towns and villages. Advertisers who wish to reach this class of people should not make the mistake of supposing that the ground is thoroughly covered by the big daily and weekly publications of the cities. While it is true that the metropolitan dailies are beiug more generally taken than formerly among country people, it is also true that they do not receive the careful reading that is accorded the home paper. The latter is in some respects like a letter. It gives the small and insignficaut items of news, which are sometimes made the subject of ridicule, but which are just what the people want. Where the daily will be skimmed over in a half, hour and tossed aside, the local weekly will be passed from one member of the family to the other and be eagerly read by each. The city daily is taken by the storekeeper, tho lawyer land tho doctor, perhaps, but all the other peo? ple in file place take the local paper.? Printer's Ink. Some Business Suggestions. Does your business pay? Could you act make it pay better by doing some advertising in a judicious way? Some business men are always on the lookout for a now customer and contriving ways to please and meet the wants of old ones. Tho best and cheapest method to get new customers is by advertising in an enterprising newspaper. Advertising doesn't soli any man's goods, it only lets the people, tho pur? chasers, know where to find them. Tho newspaper that is read by the most people is tho ono in which to ad? vertise. There is a great deal in writing an attractive advertisement. Do you give your ads. your best attention? If you expect to do a large business on the fact that you know so many people, you will getieft. The ones you don't know are greatly in the major? ity. How are you to reach them in tho most favorable manner at the least, expense X By placing an attractive ad? vertisement in tho newspaper. Instances have been cited whert large advertisers have gone under. This was not the fault of the adverti* ing, but of the advertiser. Aman can lose money speculating in advertising the same as in wheat. It is in dealing with the article as a staple that results in sure returns. The newspaper that takes advertising to iill up with cannot prosper. A newspaper that has its rates too high cannot sell its space. There is a nor? mal rate, that is. a rato which the pub? lisher can afford to accept and malce a profit, and which the advertiser can af? ford to pay and also make a profit. The profit must l)o mutual, else one or the other will quit We aim to have our rates "normal." The Love of Novelty and Change. The residents of old Athens gained an enduring fame from their never ending search for "some new thing." In this respect Athens of old does not seem to have differed very widely from the average community of today. People tire of life's dull monotony, and the fellow who comes along and gives them something to talk and think about is hailed with delight, even though he may sometimes ba laughed at. If j-ou can both interest and amuse people, you can make money out of them. This is a calculating way of putting the case, but it's a fact. If you're a merchant, make your ad? vertisement different, in some respect, from that of any other merchant who uses the same medium. And change your advertisement frequently?the offener the better. The merchant who never allows the same ad. to appear twice in succession will find that tha labor of getting up new "copy'' is splendidly rewarded by the results. Throw variety into your stock, too. Don't buy a certain line of goods this year just because you did last. Per? haps you can do better this year. Shift your stock about. Bright colors, new goods and a new ad. every day or week will make things go. Let the other fellow get into the rut you keep out! Promises and Fulfillment. The merchant who advertises a cer? tain Hue of goods as a "leader" should always make good his statements at the store. The reader who responds to a special announcement of a bargain expects, upon reaching the store, to see the goods of which special mention was made. A failing on the part of any merchant to fully substantiate every statement made in his ad? vertisement is a mistake which will surely cu>: him dearly. It pays to ad? vertise leaders which are real bar? gains, provided the advertiser's claims are fully borne out by the facts. The merchant who advertises a cer tain "drive," and when asked to ex? hibit these goods to the customer de? preciates their quality and attempts to sell a high priced article of the same line, makes a mistake and damages his reputation for square dealing. "Lead? ers' which are not gooil enough to sell to customers are not good enough to advertise; and nothing should be ad? vertised which is not good "value re? ceived" for the price demanded. One Tiling at a Time. Don't put too much in one adver? tisement. What will 3-011 do for the next one? One thought is generally enough for once; next week another; next another, and so on. But let it be a good one, always. Respect your reader. Appeal to his good sense. By doing that you show your own good sense. Go further; do not be dull. Tho reader's mind is not on your subject. Angle for him. There are other advertisements. Few or none will be read through. The reader doubtless reads a line and skips to the next one. Put something in your first line to engage him.?Chris? tian Union. The "Silent Drummer." Did you ever think what your ad. in the newspaper is doing for you? When you close your store in the evening and go home to your family and fireside, not thinking about your business at all, then it is that the papei is being pored over in hundreds of homes?tho homes from which your trade is drawn. And there is your ad. doing its work silently, but surely, and if you have taken pains to make it attractive its work will be all the more effective. This is repeated over and again, and is no doubt what in? spired some writer to call newspaper advertising a "silent drummer." William of Orange Saved by Ills Dog. On the night of the 11th and 12th of September, 1572, a chosen band of 600 Spaniards made an attack within the lines of the Dutch army. The senti? nels were cut down, the whole army surprised and for a momont powerless. The Prince of Orange and his guardB were in profound sleep; but a small spaniel dog, who always passed the night upon his bed, was a most faith? ful sentinel. The creature pnrang for? ward, barking at the sound of hostile footsteps and scratching his master's face with his paws. There was but just time for the princo to mount a horse that was ready saddled, and to effect Ills' escape through the darkness, before his ene? mies sprang into his tent. His ser? vants were cut down, his master of the horse and two oi his secretaries, who gained their saddles a moment later, all lost their lives, and but for a little dog's watchfulness, William of Or? ange, upon whose shoulders the whole weight of his country's fortune depend? ed, would have been led within a week to an ignominious death. The prince ever afterward kept a spaniel in his bed chamber.?Motley's Dutch Hep\ib M A Mail in SlcirU. i "I, among1 others, was standing on the sidewalk near old man Henry Jones' st?re; and saw a queer looking object coming down the street. It was a man somewhat above tho ordinary height, with a long, snow white beard and a pair of white mustaches that nearly completed the covering of his face.'1 "Well?" "Ho wore a woman's old fashioned fly bonnet, which hopped over his face ami concealed his head, giving him the appearance of one of those pictures of patriarchs that you sec in Sunday school hooks." "Why did he wear it" "Hold on. That is not'all. He had on a calico frock that reached to the ankles, cut in the old fashioned body and skirt style, which mad'/ hmi look stril more liken patriarch.

As he came striding down the street, the legs of his heavy boots exposed at every stride, be was about tho greenest specimen <>i' humanity 1 ever-struck, There was a mob :.t- his heels and everybody stared at him as he passed, and it looked as if John Robinson's circus was passing down the street in i grand parade and all East Macon In turned out to sco the elephants."
