A. G. LAMAR WRITES
OF FLORIDA TRIP
In Company With W. L.
Jackson By Way of
Automobile
Editor News: Last week the writer
had the pleasure of au automobile trip
to Florida with Mr. Walter L. Jackson.
We left Winder at 3:30 P. M. Wed
nesday and reached Orlando for supper
ou Friday evening.
It has been a source of much regret
to the many friends of Walter Jackson
in Winder and this immediate section
of Georgia to have him leave us to
make his future home at Kissemmee,
Florida, as cashier of anew bank re
cently organized in that beautiful and
prosperous little city of 0000 inhabi
tants.
Walter Jackson was born and reared
in Winder and universally popular with
all our people. While he does not look
to be over 21 years old, he has been in
the banking business for fourteen years,
and for several years had been vice
president of the North Georgia Trust
& Bankiug Company, one of the lead
ing financial institutions of this sec
tion of the state, until his resignation
to accept his present position in Flor
ida.
He knows banking thoroughly and
,ve predict and wish for him a success
ul career in his newly adopted state.
Kissemmee is 18 miles south of Or
lando, right in the orange and truck
ing belt of the state, and in the sec
tion where thousands of tourists from
the north spend their winters and mil
lionaires have lovely homes and large
orange groves.
Florida is the most wonderful coun
try in all this land of ours, and offers
brighter opportunities to young men
if energy and ambition than any other
state of the union.
Its beautiful lakes, orange groves,
truck farms, brick roads and pretty
towns and little cities keep one charm
ed all the time and you never lose in
terest In these varied attractions.
Wherever you go in central and
southern Florida you meet Georgians
who have gone there ami prospered.
It is the land of opportunities and
of great possibilities and no one can
imagine potent are these opportu
nities and possibilities and realise the
magnitude of muititnnious resources
until seeing it.
Tlie trip through Orlando and Kis
simmee by automobile with "Walter
Jackson was a congenial and enjoyable
one and the courtesies shown by Mr.
U. G. Staton, president of the hank and
of which Mr. Jackson is cashier, and by
others of Orlando were appreciated be
yond expression.

Hailstorm Sweeps This
Section.
Damage by wind and hall was re
ported from this section of the state
in the wake of a severe thunderstorm
Which struck Winder Wednesday .after
noon. The wind was reported to have
a velocity of 50 miles per hour. Great
damage to the growing crops, gardens,
fruit trees, etc., is being reported from
many sections.
Hail fell in Winder in great quanti
ties and Winder’s light service was
out. of commission during Wednesday
night. The storm was heavy in At
lanta. Macon. Augusta, Birmingham.
Ala., and intermediate points. Many
trees have been reported as uprooted
and many houses unroofed in some sec
tions. We have heard of no one being
injured by the storm in Barrow coun
ty, but the crops have been seriously
damaged and many will have to plant
their cotton over.
CAMP MEETING IN JUNE.
Next month will be held a camp meet
ing at the fair grounds in Winder. We
understand that Charlie D. Tillman,
the great singer, will be present. He
is one of the best known singer-evan
gelists in tjie south and will attract
large audiences should he be present
WOMAN HITS STRAIGHT FROM
SHOULDER AT NON-ADVERTISERS
“What’s the use of me advertising? Everybody in this town
knows me and my store.”
The Pine Bluff (Ark.) Advertising Club offered a prize of $25
for the best essay on "Why I Buy Outside of Pine Bluff.” A
woman, Mrs. Robert Rogers, won the $35. Notice how she gives
it to the local merchants, straight from the shoulder. She wrote:
“One reason why I buy outside of Pine Bluff is the lack of ad
vertising among the merchants.
“The people of today buy through advertising, in Pine Bluff
and out. We have catalogs sent with descriptions of goods, and
while there may be just the same in Pine Bluff, we don't know
where it is or who has it. The merchants say: ‘Why don’t you
look for it. Here we are, at your service.’
"True enough, but we all follow the advertisement columns, and
a good many times are led out of town by papers and catalogs of
other cities.
“Take the working girls, and there are many of them, who have
not the time to go from place to place hunting certain articles. We
have the catalogs and papers before us, and know just where we
can get the articles wanted. So we sit down and order certain
things sent ou approval, and one satisfactory purchase makes an
other.
“This is very much easier than spending time and energy hunt
ing from store to store for articles that are neither displayed or
advertised.
“Another reason is incompetent clerks. No merchant would
think of having an untrained bookkeeper or stenographer, and
yet we have to put up with untrained salespeople, some even lack
ing courtesy, others in knowledge of goods. Why not have meetings
where the salespeople could hear good lectures on selling methods.
Every customer is different. One should learn how to upproach
prospective customers.
"Courtesy sells as much goods ns advertising. Another thing,
so few know how ro show their stock. For instance, in a place
like Pine Bluff I should say nine-tenths of the customers are known
to the salespeople. Yet we go in and are misled instead of being
shown what is within our means. We are shown some very hand
some, high-priced articles or else something too cheap, and we come
away dissatisfied.
“We then pick up a paper or cataloog from unother town and
see just what we want and order it. The mail order houses try
to please and thereby catch a gool deal of the trade that might
be kept in Pine Bluff.”
Another thing this essay proves: There's no good in saying:
“There’ff no use in advertising to women; they’ll shop around
anyway.” This women didn’t, and the fair presumption is that
hundreds and thousands of her sisters in Pine Bluff and other
towns are following her example.
It's the advertiser who gets the business, locally as well as
nationally.—Editor & Publisher.

GRACIOUS REVIVAL
AT FIRST_BAPTIST
Sunday night there came to a close
at the First Baptist church a two
weeks’ series of evangelistic meetings.
The pastor and church hud enguged
the services of Dr. William R. Owen,
of Macon, but at the last minute he
was taken sick and could not come to
fill his engagement, so the local mem-
hers went on with the meeting. The
congregations were large from the very
start and the afternoon meetings held
at four o’clock duily were, In point of
uumbers and helpfulness, the best ever
held in the church.
Twenty-five new members were add
ed to the church roll and the member
ship was greatly revived by these days
of spiritual refreshing spent together.
Rev. J. Frank Jackson, of Atlanta,
came over and was present the last few
days of the meeting. Though unable
to preach he is worth his weight in
gold to sit around and talk, pray and
do personal work in a revival. He is
the oldest evangelist on the State
Mission Board, and has been one "of
the most successful and faithful work
ers In the entire denomination.
The different denominations In the
city were present through their repre
sentatives and helped much In the good
WM*k.
The music was in charge of Mayor
N. Bagwell and the local choir.
Much was added to the services of
swig by lihe young people and their
splendid tanging of the old fashioned
SflßgS. ,
T&ee gloriwas experience and testimony
meetings wall leave their blessings upon
the town far months to come. Truly it
was a meeting in which the Spirit had
rnwjty and the people took part.
At the close of the services Mr. John
M. Williams, chairman of the board of
deacons, expressed the appreciation of
the etmreh to the pastor for his tine
service and said, “a finer series of ser
mons have never been delivered in our
town.” The members thoughtfully re
memtsred the pastor with a splendid
purse -which comes In well for his trip
to the Southern Baptist convention
which is in session at Chattanooga this
week.

A gentleman in conversation told us
last week that the bible or history did
not clearly show which day we must
rest. That he had as soon rest on Mon- '
day or any other day in the week if the
law lxed it. There are some people
who rest whole weeks, which causes a
portion of them to go with empty
stomachs. But this Is not caused by
any kind of belief, but laziness. Should
they take a notion to work it would be
such a surprise to the Lord that we be
lieve he would let them put in full time
without Inflicting any punishment on
them. —Dahlonega Nugget.
