To Hold Business.
A year or sc ago the National
Biscuit company spen,t $60,000 in
one year in advertising in New
York City where they already
had the business, they said it was
to hold their business.
The object of advertising is
not only to get business but to
hold business.
It is folly for a 'merchant to
have the idea that because his
business is running smoothly to
day it will continue so without
proper effort back of the busi
ness. The power that built up a
business is needed to keep it go
ing—and more business sagacity
is needed each year. Every y6ar
sees new and changing condi
tions and forces in business. The
merchant must be ever watchful
and gain every particle of know
ledge possible in regard to his
business.
Nothing is so important to his
business as advertising, because
it supplies the information the
public wants. The people are
looking.for every particle of in
formation- about goods that will
add to their comfort and happi
ness.
The merchant who is backward
about telling of those things that
will give the individual greater
comfort will find his business go
ing to the more successful mer
chant who is not backward in
giving the people the informa
tion, they crave. Advertising is
constantly creating and satisfy
ing wants.
It is likewise folly for a mer
chant to be peeved over compe
tition. A merchant should get
ahead and stay ahead of compe
tition by' carrying such a stock
goods, adopting such advertising
methods, etc., that will place his
store in the lead. Then compe
tition will not bother him, trade
will come,to him and old custom
ers will stay by him.

PLAINLY VISIBLE
VIA
Abo,tit the largest meteor ever
seen in this section was visible
Thurday night. The Editor of this
paper while sitting on the front
porch at his residence saw it.
Several other people of this im
mediate section saw it also.
Below is some descriptions .of
it from different sections.
The following is from the
Moultrie Observer:
"People, living in the southern
part of the city last night about
seven o’clock were startled by
the appearance of a most beauti
ful meteor passing slowly and
gracefully across the heavens
from the east to west. It trave -
ed about as fast as ^n airship, at
an altitude of apparently two or
three hundred feet above the
earth and carried red and blue
lights which caused many people
to think it was really an airship
passing over the city. The only
eviderice that it was not an air
ship was the fact that it traveled
silently and perhaps a little too
fast, and all at once when ap
parently about over the cemetery,
it suddenly collapsed or else went
into a cloud so that it was seen
no more. The lights—for there
seemed to be several in different
colors all in a bunch—were about
as large as a headlight on an en
gine and left a brilliant streak
behind them for several hundred
yards.
The meteor that visited Cor
dele.
A dispatch from. Cordele has
the following to say of the meteor
which was seen there, probably
the same one that passed over
Moultrie:
“An immense meteor, perhaps
the largest ever seen in this sec
tion, created considerable inter
est among Cordele people at an
early hour last night, and it was
with consternation profound that
some of the more superstitious of
the colored population witnessed
its flight. The luminous body,
the head of which appeared to
the naked eye as being larger
than ah ordinary cotton oasket_
and the tail more than twenty
feet long, seemed to light up the
whole southern horizen as it
swept across the sky from east
and west.
* ‘Strangely, the course of the
meteor was not in a declining
direction; though during the
several minutes • that it was vis
ible to Cordele spectators it shot
along apparently on a parallel
with the earth and at an altitude
of not more than a thousand or
fifteen hundred feet.
“This is the second meteor that
has been visible to Cordele people
during the past week and the
superstitions of the negroes, some
of whom are sorely afraid at the
occurrences, have been wrought
up to a high pitch.”
Goes Into Drug Business.
Mr. George II. Parker, for
merly holding positions as phar
macist with the Camilla Drug
Co. and the Spence Drug Co., of
this city, is arranging to go into
the driig business at Whigham

iated with him in the enterprise
and the business Will be operated
under the name of the Dixie
Drug Co. ‘ „
Mr. Parker is a skilled phar
macist besides having had a num
ber of years experience in the
general drug line, and he will no
doubt meet with success in this
venture.—Camilla Enterprise.
