ALL ABOUT ADVERTISING.
Will It Pay?—Uselnl Hints to Busi-
ness Hen—Where and How to
Advertise—Facts Worthy
of General Attention*
To a business man the question of adver
tising turns upon a single point: Will it
pay? With the great share of liberal and
progressive men, who are enterprising and
thrifty in their business, this query has
been settled in the most practicable way.
They are found advertising In every way
which their shrewd judgment approves as
profitable. Some men say, I have been in
trade here twenty years; it is time I was
well known among men. What is the use
of advertising my business? To such men
we feel like saying, when they put their
question to you in a triumphant sort of way:
'Are you more sagacious and a better bus
iness man than AT. Stewart?” His name
and bis trade are household words through
out the land. Hundreds of thousands
know them .where thousands know yon.
Yet. Mr. Stewart is a constant, system
atic and extensive advertiser. He does not
feel that he is so well known he need cease
telling the people that he still “ lives and
deals in merchandise.” If a man’s neigh
bors never changed; If the world never
moved; why; then, a business man would
hold his trade, if he was an. honest dealer.
Bnt so long as our people come and go, like
the ebbing and flowing tide, a man, who has
need to be known, has need also to proclaii
his presence; therefore he has heed of, or
would find a profit in advertising.
If a man says, I agree that It Is profitable
to advertise, the next question is still more
important to him, which is, how to make his
investments with the hugest profit. Herein
many liberal advertisers make a great mis
take. They seem to reckon that, if they put
out an advertisement and a dollar in money,
it la not very material where the two go.
They have no method in the business; they
have not studied the matter as they have
others in their business affairs; they do
not find ont where they can pnt' a dollar
with the largest profit and the surest
and safest returns. Why not do this in
advertising as In buying and selling flour,
groceries, dry goods, stoves, tinware, or
any other commodity? There is avast
deal in the time and manner and'place in
advertising. No shrewd man would adver
tise Bibles and hynm books in the Police
Gazette, laces and "fine linens In the Crial
Circular, or jewelry and fancy goods in the
Iron Age. That wouldn’t pay. If a man is
to advertise In a paper, he wants to know
several things: Is the paper read, by whom
and how many people? It Is material what
doss of people read a paper, as well as how
many. Many a man who wants to advertise
fails to see this point clearly, and, therefore,
misapprehends the economical or profitable
aspect of the case. He says the Daily Beg-
f tr will take my advertisement for so much.
ery well, if that paper gets it, the price is
dear, for the obvious reason that no equiva
lent is rendered for it. If a man says to a
dry goods dealer “what do you,ask for
broadcloth?” and toeanswer is six dollars,
the Inquirer proves nothing by saying, “it is
too mneh. I can bay cloth for four and a
half dollars.” What is the Quality? That
is the test. Very likely the six dollar cloth
Is the cheapest. A lady goes into a store
and wishes to see silks; they are
three, four and ten dollars a yard. “I
can buy them cheaper,” she says. Is
It any reason why the seller should reduce
his price? There is likely to be a great
difference In value, as well as in price, be
tween dealers. It is just so in advertising.
The paper which has a large circulation, and
Is popular as a family paper, and is read veiy
largely, is cheaper for an advertiser at doable
or triple the price than a paper which has
not half the circulation, and is almost worth
less at any price. As broadcloth is worth
more than satinet, as silk is worth more than
wool, as linen is worth mtfre than cotton, as
coffee Is worth more than chlckoiy,; as flour
Is worth more than shorts, as gold is worth
more than pinchbeck, as leather 1b worth
more than paste-board, as tobacco is worth
more than cabbage leaves, so one paper is
worth Infinitely more to an advertiser than
another. -This last is just as plaii as the
first. If a man reflects a moment upon the
matter. Yet, not reflecting upon It, men are
misled veiy often, and fed that one paper is
, just as good as another, bnt, as our Irish
friend said of men, so “one is as good as an
other, and a little better, too.”
FATAL ACCIDENT.
One Woman Killed and Another
Seriously if not Fatally
Injured.
It Is with regret that we chronicle a very
sad affair that occurred near Jonesboro,
on Saturday evening last. Mrs. Allen Jones,
accompanied by her married daughter and
infant, were driving home. When about
three miles from town, the male becoming
frightened at some object, ran away ana
upset the baggy, Mrs. Jones received such
severe Injuries by the fall that she died in a
few moments. Her daughter was also se
verely injured, and at last accounts was not
-expected to live. The | baby was stunned,
ana lay lifeless for Borne time, bnt we are
pleased to learn Is now doing well.
SAD ACCIDENT.
'Two Hen Thrown from a Boggy and
1 1 Injured. -/

Colonel A Harrison, of Texta, Were driving
out to Ponce de Leon 8prings r the horse at
tached to the buggy they were-in ran away
and threw them ont. Mr. Calloway received
severe bruises and a severe contusion on his
head. The injuries are severe, though not
fatal in their character.’ He was receiving
"the best of medical attention last night.
Colonel Harrison sustained slight injuries.
BEYOND TEE RIVER.
The time must come; I know, when we shall
part—
All ties must sever;
This golden zone, enclasping heart to heart.
Most snap and shiver.
Bnt doth yon deep, dark stream, part ever
more?
Or shall we meet and greet on that far
shore,
Beyond the river?
If we shall meet—oh! would that I knew
how!
In saintly blessing?
Or shall we stand as we are standing now—
Mutely caressing?
Is yonder life but this grown rich and
grand? /
Or is humanity left on the 6trand—
Dropped in'undressing?
Oh, would I knew l~ The misty clouds that
lie . r.
These waters over
Still darkly droop, 'still mock my straining
Still thiCklyhover.
I call and question. Silence hath no tone. /
In vain I ask howl shall meet mine own—.
As friend or lover.
. / •
This world wete dark indeed bad I not thee
To clasp and hold me.
My light Is thy great love; so tenderly, /
So often, told me.
The night most come; but; in the far-off
Vi . mom, . .
Will the dear arms that have my 6 tops up-
"• boas -—v
Once more enfold me? v-—'
Love Is so precious, life so frail and fleet!
Hearts bleed and quiver;
Tears wet the prints of dear departing feet,
Gone hence forever. 1 ‘
Parting if bitter. If I could but know
That thou wilt be to me the same as now,
Beyond the river?
Is love eternal? Still yon sullen cloud
Answers me never.
In vain I plead; it folds its sable shroud,
Silent forever.
Bnt I shall know. ’Tis useless to contend
With shadows; yet all doubt shall have an
end
Beyond the river.

Death of Col. L. T. Doyal.
-
[From the Griffin Messenger j]
This distinguished lawyer and Christian
gentleman passed quietly away front earthly
scenes on Sunday, the 5th instant, at his
beautiful residence in the southern suburbs
of Griffin. j .
= A few minutes before his death he was
talking quietly with aconple of friends upon
the usual topics of the day. Suddenly he
became cramped for breath, asked fbr water
to be poured on his head, and in a few min
utes breathed his last without a straggle.
His disease was an affection of the heart,
with various complications, and his death
was not unexpected, although on the day
previous he took a small party sf his daugh
ter’s friends to a fishing picnic to Towaliga.
some eight miles from town. All had a good
time and Colonel Doyal appeared to enjoy
the occasion with' unusual zest. He was as
well on Sunday as he had been for a long
time, and was -unusually cheerful.
Colonel Doyal was a remarkable man,
mentally, physically and socially. He was
bom In Columbia county, Georgia, in May,
1816, and at time of his demise was In bis
59th year. His early opportunities for edu
cation was very limited, and he told the
writer of this, that he never went to school
a day in his life. He married when in his
eighteenth year and without a cent in the
world commenced the battle of life. His
first wife wafe a Miss Thompson; whom he
represents as a girl of rare intelligence, who
assisted him vastly in his search alter knowl
edge, and for many years was his “guide,
counselor and friend.” - - ;:. •
Colonel Doyal read law. under; Colonel
Amos W. Hammond, of Culloden, now of
Atlanta,' and upon his admission to the bar,
rapidly rose to the front ranks of the pro
fession. He removed from Culloden to Mc
Donough, where he soon, took the leader
ship or the bar there, and was considered
among the first lawyers of the Flint Circuit.
From McDonough he removed to Griffin
and immediately took the front rank here,
which position be held to the day of his
death. It is not oar province to speak of
him as a lawyer; Ms brethren whom be
loved and who loved him, will perform that
sad but loving office.

Elsewhere will be found the answer .to
the question much asked.—where is Tom

silent grave', the' bride of his boyhood. _
few years after.he married Mrs. Brown, the
mother of cur present county. Judge, who,
however, survived but a short time. His
last wife and widow was Mrs. Bettie Battle,
who was present .to administer to him the
last sad offices of the dying, and who was a
most devoted and affectionate wife whom
the Colonel loved wlth the,ardor and affec
tion of early boyhood. Few married people
ever lived so happily together.
Colonel Doyal has been a faithful and zeal
ous Missionary Baptist for thirty years, and
for- over twenty years a licensed preacher.
He was powerful in the pulpit, as he was at
the bar, and was sent for great distances to
attend revival meetings.
In public life Colonel Doyal had little
aspiration for office, and up to the breaking
out of the war held no office except Judge
of the Inferior Court of Henry county.
When the war broke out the patriot soul of
oar deceased friend was fired with military
ardor; he volunteered in the SpaldlngGrays,
and was unanimously elected Captain of the
company. From Captain he speedily rose
to the rank of Colonel of the Fifty-third
Georgia Regiment, which position he held
with credit and honor until compelled by ill
health to resign.
After the war Colonel Doyal was elected
by an overwhelming vote to represent Spald
ing county in the Constitutional Convention,
and was a leading member of that body.
His health has been gradually declining for
a number of years, but he has held up
bravely and retained his practice to the end.
But for his feeble health Governor Smith
publicly stated that he should have ap
pointed him Judge of this judicial circuit

The Absorption of Canada by the
United States only a Question
Time, i.. , !
A report recently made by the Inspector
of the Cotton Department of Bombay gives
us some idea of the ingenuity displayed In
that line of business. The staples are
mixed or loaded with sand, orwlthtne shells
of the cotton pods finely broken up; also
with dust, etc. It is often spread out in
thin layers and damped, and, after treating
in this manner, dust is shaken through it.
Last season professional adulterators, it
seems, went abont for hire; and latclyl&new
style of swindle wsa introduced, by rolling
up small pellets of whitish clay with some
adhesive material like gum. These were
subsequently rolled in cotton, wool, and
then carefully shaken through the general
mass of cotton. Cotton has also been adul
terated by spreading It in layers, damping
it, and then with a sieve shaking the floor of
some cheap grain through it. There is also
a common practice of exposing cotton in
layers about 6 Inches deep to the heavy
night dews, the consequence of which is
that this light cotton imbibes a large • quan
tity of moisture. It is also stated that do-
cras, etc., when opened at the presses, were
found to contain dates, onions, and a varie
ty of other articles.
A new : and most important application of
a waste product,,■ in the practical processes
of agricultural chemistry, has been recently
proposed by a foreign engineer. In the
manufacturing and coal consuming districts
of Great Britain the enormous profits de
rivable from the utilization of slag, .coal
ashes and the refuse of minerals after pass
ing through the furnace, have been within
a few years much discussed. . The so-called
“volcanic stone,” manufactured from slog
and hydraulic lime, has been demonstrated
to be one of the cheapest and most durable
building materials. But now the far more
economic and valuable use of the same
waste matter for enriching the soil has been
pressed upon public attention,
The great, chemist, Liebig, long ago sug
gested the important part silicates, in a
soluble form, would play In the economy of
plants, and silica abounds in all the
6lag products. Lands otherwise highly
improved and fertilized, but lacking in the
one ingredient of soluble silica, may pro
duce fine crops of wheat, but the straw is
found to be too weak to sustain the cars,
and whole fields of grain are thus easily
prostrated by the summer storms. The free
use of disintegrated slag, which supplies
silica to the straw and hardens and strei%-
thens it, enables the golden harvest to resist
the tempest. It has been observed that in
the midst of fields in which the grain has
generally succumbed to the blast patches in
which the ground had been fertilized with
the silicious refuse of brick burning 6tood
erect with their well filled ears. In the wide
wind-swept prairies of the West, whose
wheat harvests are the main supply of food
for many millions besides the home con-
snmer, the application of this discovery may
prove of the greatest benefit and largely add
to the total annual yield of the gram grow
ing States. The process of disintegrating
the slag, so as to render it soluble,
by running it into water while in a
fluid state, appears to be inexpensive.
And as the porous soluble fertilizer that re
sults is rich in lime a double purpose is
served, which would justify considerable ex
penditure in preparing it for the agricultural
market. Theutility of this important chem
ical compound will probably, be felt in the
6ugar-cane regions, where silicious fertilizers
are in so great demand, and where it is often
necessary to burn the standing stripped cane
for the sake of restoring vigor to the exhaust
ed soil.
Science has a great work to do in transmut
ing the waste and refuse materials, elements
of pollution, into sources of economy and
wealth. The utilization of the sewage of
onr great cities, for agricultural ends, has
virtually been a demonstrated success. We
doiibt ;not the same success, by patient ex
periment, is obtainable in the case .of many
other waste products, which, in ignorance of
their value, we suffer.to defile our streets,
pollute our rivers and taint the air we breathe
