O'ficial Organ of Henry County McDonough, Ga., May 14, 1015. The Great Equality. One thing especially impresses us ir. connection, with the great Lusitania disaster. Is is the “de rnocracy of death.” Of the bodies of the dead which have been found and brought ashore, there is no distinction of class or fortune. The millionaire of world-fame lies beside the steer age laborer whose name is lost. And it is here where all meet on one common level. Class dis tinction may have kept one far above the ether in the eyes of the world while life animated their bodies. But now all are equally hum bled in death and every one equal ly lowly in station as he goes o meet the final Judge of all men. Some of our very smart men of recent years have been unlearn ing for us many truths which had been deeply implanted in us. They tell us that nothing is farther from truth than that statement in our Declaration of Independence, that “all men are created free and equal.” Perhaps they are correct. But here at last is where all men come to be equal at least and where all must come as well. Hero is one of the few bright spots in warfare. Soldiers enter into battle as prince and pauper and come out in death with every difference and distinction wiped away. This in turn tends to bring about a nearer approach of democracy of feeling between those of differ ferent classes among the soldiers who survive, for they see tho ulti mate futility of the wall which their price builds up to shut them out from their fellows of an infe rior caste. And we are inclined to believe that a Diyine eye still oversees everything as closely as in Biblical times and that his vengeance is being stored up for that people which hears. As sweet music the shriek of terror from innocent wo ment and children wantonly mur dered by that people’s inordinate hate and lust for blood. Story of the Advertiser. By trebla yendis smada. Once upon a time there lived a successful business man in a city of about ten thousand inhabitants who believed there was but one way to make a suceess in life, and that way was to advertise. He did advertise and made money for years and years. He once said that he knew of but one business that could be run successfully without advertis ing and that was burglarizing. Of course no burglar would want to announce the fact that he would on a certain night rob a bank or a house. This man grew older and be came careless about advertising, saving, when a newspaper man approached him, “Ah, everybody knows w’here my place is, it’s wasting money to advertise,” or something to that effect. A few years passed and younger men opened up businesses in town, such as his and advertised in their home paper. This old fellow soon noticed that Ins business was bad, so he determined not 'o let these other firms put him out of busi ness. He goes over to one of the papers in town and says, “See here, John, I want a double page ad and ten thousand circulars.” “Alrijit, Mr Smith,-we will he glad to get th**tn nut tor' yon,” So he went ahead and advertised his ofd stock and mentioned a lot of things he didn’t have and the peo ple came to his store, thinking that they would get the.burgnin of their lives and failed to find anything they wajited. Not many months after this his place was closed up py the sheriff and, his stock of goods almost giv en away. This happened at the time when he needed money to finish educating his children. His children went out into the world with hardly a common school ed ucation and without a penny, thus the once big advertiser died with out leaving money enough to pay his funeral expenses. This is a peuculiar story, but nevertheless true. It proves be yond doubt that every business man, no matter how small his business jnay be, should advertise accordingly. Keep the name of the firm before the people. Let them know that you are still do ing' business, and above all, do not advertise something you havn’t got in your store. —Ex. Inspect the Cattle Fields.

She cannot walk so many miles around a bil liard table with nothing to eat and nothing (to speak of) to drink, but she can walk the floor all night with a fretful baby, without going sound to sleep the first half hour She can nde five hundred miles without going into tne smoking car to rest (and get away from No 10089.
