Adver tising. Rarely do local merchants in any community spend an amount for advertising proportion ate to that of the country mer chant's pest— the mail order man. The Happiest Individual. * The happiest man in the world is the poor fellow who earns just enough money to pay his debts. Such a man is possessedof the hap piness which causes him to whistle and sing as he goes about his work, and when he meets you on the street, a pleasant smile, speaking louder than words, convinces you of his sincerity.

Verily, editors are not such a bad lot They see life from almost every angle, and as a rule, being fairly well balanced, they weigh and sift pretty thoroughly, and avoid pitfalls that the inexper ienced and unobserving quickly fall into.—Dalton Citizen.
