I' During the present week the peo | e of this portion of the county lave noticed a cloud ol dust extend | : g all along the'western side of the L unty. No special attention was u \ given the circumstance at first, but as it seemed to grow denser and higher each day, your correspondent set to investigate the matter and foundtbe cloud of dust emanating from tee bed of the Chattahoochee river. A horse shoe was found within two inches of the center ol a solid log two feet in diameter the other day. It is supposed that the shoe was nailed to the tree lor a horse rack wbe: the tree was small, and as the tree grew it became completely bur ied—a une object on which to break an axe or a commandment. Now that the cigarette is discussion in the papers I will cite a case. I knew a young man of promising prospects to be cut off in the bloom of youth. The physicians said it was lung trouble and an in vestigation proved that he had never smo j cet ] a cigarette. Mr. Judson Graddic comes to the front with a snake story. On his way to l he fisld the other day he cut a sfna u shake’s head off with a he The neM day in passing he the headless snake alive and doing well. Our literary club recently discussed the subject of “Bangs or No Bangs.” In the whole discussion no reference was made to the gray-bearded joke o the woman with bangs looking “like a cow with a board over her face.” Lum D. >- 5 *■ ♦ WANAMAKER ON ADVERTISING John W'anamaker, the great Phil adelphia merchant, recently spoke as follows about advertising: “I never in my lite used such a thing as a poster, dodger 01 hand bill. My plan for fifteen years has been to buy so much space in a news¬ paper and fill it up with what I want ed. I would not give an advertise ment in a new'spaper of 400 circula tion for 5,000 dodgers or posters. If I wanted to sell cheap jewelry or tun a lottery scheme I might use posters. but 1 would not insult a decent read¬ ing public with hand bills. The class of people who read such things are poor material to look to for support in mercantile affairs. I deal directly with the publisher. 1 say to him : ‘How long will you let me run a col¬ umn of matter through your paper for $ioo or $500/ as the case may be. let him do the figuring, and if 1 think he is not trying To take more than his share I give him the copy. ! I lay aside the profits on a particular line of goods for advertising purpo¬ ses. Tiie first year I laid aside $3 j 000; last year L laid aside and spent I $40,000. 1 have done better this year, and shall increase that sum, as the profits warrant it. I owe my success to the newspapers and to them 1 shall freely give a certain profit of my yearly business.” j ' A CARD. The publisher has arranged with Mr. 13.
