WHEN ADVERTISING IS WANTED.
There in nothing on earth ho mys-
terhuiHly funny an a newspaper ad
vert iaement. The prime, first, last
and all tlie time object of an adver
tisement is to draw custom. It is
not, was not and will never
In* designed for any other
human purpose. So the merehant
waits till the busy season comes
and his store is so full of customers
he rushes to the newspapers and
puts iu his advertisement. When
the dull season comes along and
there is no trade, and he wants to
sell goods so hud he can’t pay rent,
he takes out his advertisement.
That is, some of them do, hut occa
sionally a level-headed merchant
puts in a bigger one and scoop* ail
the tnislness, while his neighbors
arc making mortgages to pay the
rent. There are times when you
couldn't stop the people from buying
anything in the store if you plant
ed a cannon behind the door; and
that’s the time the advertisement Is
sent out on its holy mission. It
makes light work for the advertise
ment, for a chalk mark on the side
walk could do all that was needed
and couldjiavea half holiday six day
in the week; but who wants to favor
an advertisement. *Thcy arc built
to do hard work and should he sent
out in the dull days when u custom
er has to be knocked down with
hard facts und kicked insensible
with bankrupt reductions, and drag
ged in with irresistible slaughter of
prices, before he will spend u cent.
That’s the aim and end of an adver
tisement, und if you ever open a
store don’t try to get them to come
when they already sticking out of
windows, hut give them your ad
vertisement right between the eyes
in the dull season, and you will
wax rich. Write this down where
you will full over it every day. The
time to draw business is when you
want business, and not when you
have more business than y«*u can at
tend to already.
LITERARY NOTES.
A clever short story by George
Parsoim Lathrop will be found in
the November Harper's with tin*
name, “A Man and Two Brothers,”
representing the social slavery and
despotism of some pliuses of New
York life.
Professor Charles F. Thwing pub
lishes iu tin* November Harper’s
the results of his studies of reform
prison ami the House of Refuge in
their moral effect upon youngoriin-
Inal*, showing tin* vicious In flue nee
which is derived from most of tin*
so-called “reform H«*hoois.”
The concluding installment of
Mrs. Rebecca Harding Davis’s val
uable papers, entitled “Here and
There in the South,” will he
part of the contents of the Novem
ber Harper’s, richly illuatrated by
W. H. Hibson. This chapter deals
with the picturesque prairie ami
bayou country of Attakapas in the
Teche Valley beyond New Orleans.
The simple and isolated life of the
Acadian* is skillfully jiort rayed.
Among tlie specially interesting
plaees described arc the Lepers’
lamd of llayou Ht. John, the salt
mines of petit A use, und the Aca-
diun home of Joe Jeftgrsou.
The November Number of Har-
l»er’» Magazine is a brilliant conclu
sion to the seventy-fifth volume.
Both of the serials—“Narka,” by
Kathleen O'Meara, ^and “April
Ho|h*h,” by W. I). llowells—come
U> a close, with the artistic triumph
of Narka and the wedding of the
Boston lovers. Tin* last of Mrs.
Davis’ gruphic sketches of Southern
life and scenery finds a charming
subject in the Bayou region, where
Joe Jefferson IIvia. By thus end
ing the continued series of novels
and articles, the Maguzine prepares
for a magnificent Holiday Number
for Decemlier, in which every ar
ticle and story will be complete.

A FAITHFUL PUBLIC SERVANT.
Under the above heading tlie able
Savannah Morning News, which
we consider the most reliable paper
in Georgia, pays Judge I). B. Har
rell,of Webster, a well merited com
pliment, which is ail the more to be
appreciated because it comes unso
licited, and is written because the
News believes it. As tlie News
says, Judge Harrell lias labored
long and faithfully to save tin* State
this 1100,000, ami we hope the Senate
will be strong enough in its idea of
justice to Hup|>ort the bill Judge
Harrell has succeeded in getting
through tlie House.
We eall upon our member, Hon.
W. M. Hawkes, to champion and
carry through tlie Senate this bill,
aud thus more than ever endear
himself to his constituents, and
show himself opposed to stcul» of
any kind.
Following is the extract from the
Morning News:
“The House, by a vote of tl!* to 2*"»,
has passed Judge Harrell’s bill re
pealing tlie resolution by which the
Marietta and North Georgia rail
road was released from the pay
ment of nearly $100,000 in bonds due
the State. This action of the House
will meet with the hearty approval
of the people. It remains to lie
seen whether tlie Senate will prove
itself to be equally independent of
the influences which were so ac
tively ami potently exerted to se
cure the passage of the resolution
which it is now sought to have re
pealed, aud which, without any
good reason, gives away to a rail
road company, contrary to the pro
visions of the constitution, nearly
$100,000 of the people’s money.
Judge Harrell 1ms been untiring
in his efforts to undo the wrong
which was committed by the pas
sage of this resolution, and he de-
nerves, and will receive, the thanks
of the people. The fight in the
House for his bill repealing the
resolution was won by the skill and
vigor with which he conducted it,
and tlie persistence with which the
right-thinking members clung to
their convictions. Now let the
Senate do its duty in the matter.”
For cleansing and healing foul
and indolent Ulcers, Bores ami Ab
scesses and removing the had odors
arising therefrom, and for slough
ing, contused and lacerated wounds,
Darby’s Prophylactic Fluid is une
qualled.
“I have used Darby’s Prophylac
tic Fluid in hospital and privute
practice for ten years ami know of
nothing better for sloughing, con
tused and lacerated wounds, foul
and indolent ulcers and as a disin
fectant.”—J. F. Hrithtin, Professor
Mobile Med. College.

TEORNTON WHEATLEY,
To Assist Nature
In rentoring diseased or wonted tissue is
all that any medicine can do. In pul
monary ufTectionx, such oh Colds, Bron
chitis, and Consumption, l lie mucous
membrane first liecoiues intlumed, then
acutmiulationH form in the air-cells of
tlie lungs, followed by tubercles, ami,
finally, destruc tion of tlm tissue. It it
plain, therefore, that, until the hacking
e.mgh is relieved, the bronchial tu>N-s
can have no opportunity to heal.
Ayer’a Cherry Pectoral
Soothes and Heals
the inflamed membrane, arrests th*
wasting process, and leaves no injurious
results. This is why it is more highly
esteemed than any other pulmonary
•pecifle.
L. i>. Bixby, of Bartonsville, Vt.,
writes: “Four years ago I took a se
vere cold, which was followed by a
terrible cough. I was very sick, tad
ronfluod to my bed about four months.
My physician finally said 1 was in con
sumption, and that he could not help
mo. One of my neighbors advised im*
to try Ayer’s (*Ih*rry Pectoral. I did
and liefore I had taken half allot tie wn
able to go out. By the time I hud
finulled the bottln I was well, aud hu\<‘
remained so ever since.”
Alonzo 1*. Daggett, of Smyrna Mill*'
Me., writes: “Six years ago, I wus a tri
fling salesman, and ui that lims w*>
suffering with
Lung Trouble.
For mnntlis I was unable to rest nl;.'h:s.
I could seldom lio down, had frequent
choking spells, and was often
pci ltd to seek tlw open air f**r r> I-
I was induced to try Ayer’s Chei
Pectoral, which helped me. Its «
tinned use has entirely cured me, am 1 :
belie\e, saved my life.”
