Newspaper Advertising.
The following clipping taken !
from the most reliable newspa- •
pers published, the Savannah
News, shows that there is no
kind Of advertising pays as well;
as newspaper advertising:
“Printers ink, which is devot-i
ed to advertising as an art, calls '
attention to the enormous re
turns from newspaper advertis
ing obtained by Canada. A
few years ago the great north-!
west territory of Canada was j
practically unknown, and the
Canadian government received;
no benefit from it because it was
a wilderness. Now it is fast
filling up with a high-class of
imigrants and dotted all over
with farms, towns and villiages.
It has become one of the great
est wheat growing regions of
the world. j
When Mr. Clifford Sifton
became minister of the interior
of Canada, knowing the possi
bilities of the great north-west
ern territory, he determined to
see what could be done by call
ing attention to its possibilities
by means of the newspaper.
He spent a lot of money in get
ting the newspapers to point out
the advantages of the country
for wheat raising, and he spent
it judiciously. It wasn’t long
before he began to get results.
In 1896, the year before he took
office the number of immigrants
Canada received was only 14,-
863. Last year it was 123,364;
In 1896 the great Northwest ter
ritory received less than 100 im- |
migrants from the United States. I
Last year the nnmber was close
to 50,000.”
What Canada has done in the
way of increasing her popula
tion can be done for Cairo and
this immediate section. News- j
paper advertising is about the
only kind of advertising that
does pay.
Negro and His Daughter Killed
At Boston.
Valdosta, Ga., Sept. 11.—
News was received here today
of the killing of a negro and his
daughter at Boston by a negro
named Will Drayton of Valdos
ta. Drayton, who is alleged to
have done the killing, has a bad
reputation. It is said that he
had a brother lynched in Fla.,
another brother hung in this
state, and still another killed in
an altercation. He also had a
brother killed in a watermelon
patch, and he has served the
gi eater part of his life in the
chaingang for various crimes.
It is presumed that he made his
escape after committing the
crime, as the officers here were
notified and asked to look for
him here.
“If at first you don’t succeed”
is the way the Eufaula Daily
Progress, a neat and newsy pa
papei published at Eufaula,
Ala., must have put it, for after
a lapse of four months it again
reaches our office right ride up
and “backed up" by a good line
of advertising patronage. Suc
cess to the Progress.
It is claimed that our alma ma
ter, Thomasville, has a drawing
card for country trade: Blind
Tigers. Cairo pays good prices
for all kinds of country produce,
as a drawing card.
The New York Herald says
that one Mr. Wood of Washing
ton has a pet crow named Jack,
which can talk. Oh that is noth
ing as there is a lot of talking
done by “jaeks” in Washington.
