THE COI NI KY PRESS.
Editor Pleasant A. Stovall, one
of the brightest and one of the
cleverest gentlemen in Georgia,
correctly takes the position that
‘he country editor is the salt of
.he earth and that the country
newspapers of the state are doing a
great work for Georgia. He says:
“The country editor is the salt
of the eaath, the saving of the
state. He is generally leader in
his own community, and besides
looking after his own affairs is ex
pected to help out every public
enterprise and to pour a balm on
every private grievance. The vil
lage gazette is looked upon as pub
lic property. During the last two
years there has been great im
provement in the appearance of
Georgia papers. There are many
papers in Georgia worthy of special
mention. The weekly newspaper,
as a rule, is managed with more
business sense than was once the
case. They have a prosperous
look; the editors attend to details
more closely. They have ceased
to print long editorial creeds in the
interest of this man or that man.
They are no longer personal or
gans; but work for the public
good, and are managed more
along the lines of public enter
prises,*
ADVERTISING STILL GItOWH.
Long ago, says the Cleveland
header, the prediction was 'often
heard that a reaction, sweeping
and effective, would soon set in
against the bulk of newspapers
made huge by advertising. It was
asserted that the business of giv
ing publicity to business affairs
was being overdone.
Efforts were made to show how
much money merchants might
save if they all ceased to ad\ertise,
and when the trust torming craze
was at its height one of the argu
ments used by promoters of great
combinations was that they would
be able to do away with most, if
not all of the cost of advertising
which had been done by the com
panies to be united in greater cor
porations.

“All well—all happy—lot
of fun”. That is the regular
report from the monkey cage
of Barnum’s Circus ever since
live keepers began dosing th<
monkeys with Scott’s Emul
sion. Consumption was earn
mg of£ two thirds of them
every year and the circus had
to buy new ones.
One day a keeper accident
ally broke a bottle of ScottV
Emulsion near the monkey
cage and the monkeys eagerlv
lapped it up from the floor.
This suggested the idea that it
might do them good. Since
then the monkeys have received
regular doses and the keepers
report very few deaths from
consumption. Of course it’s
cheaper to buy Scott’s Emul
sion than new monkeys—and
that suits the circus men.
Consumption in monkeys
and in man is the same disease.
If you have it or are threaten
'ed with it can you
take the hint?

the Trade Mark of Scott’s
Emulsion and is on the
wrapper of every bottle.

50c and sl. all druggista
newspapers and magazines is re
quired to show how utterly futile
attempts to check the growth of
advertising have been. Year by
year, month by month, the business
widens and strengthens.
More money and ingenuity are
lavished upon advertising today
than were ever before devoted to
that phase of business Even the
great industrial trusts have not
been able to do without it.

The renders of this paper will be glad
to learn that there is at least one
dreaded disease that science has been
able to cure in all its stages, and that is
catarrh. Hall’s Catarrh Cure is the
only positive cure now known to the
medical fraternity Catariah being a
constitutional disease, requires a con
stitutional treatment. Hall’s Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous snrlaees
ol the system, thereby destioving the
foundation of the disease, and giving
the patient strength bv building up the
constitution and assisting nature in
doing its work. The proprietors hav<
so much faith in its curative powers
that they offer One Hundred Dollars fo
anv case that it fails to cure. Send for
