We wonder how much the machine paid the Messenger to say that. esil A IR B ino it No fact is better established than that successful merchandising is impossible without publicity. There may be an honest difference of opinion about the best means of obtaining it, but no omne doubts that it must be had in some way, And there is no reasonahle doubt that the merchant who commences to adver tise in the public prints makes a costly “mistake if he discontinues his advertise ments even for a short time. A R A Does Japan's naval successes amount merely to a pileing up of items against her, to be charged in Russia’s indemnity bill when the time comes for a settlement? That idea seems to obtain in Paris, The French are able to see nothing else than the ultimate triumph of Russia, even at the cost of a prolonged and exceedingly bitter war, and that then Japan will be required to pay, with interest, for all the damage she has inflicted on the Russian navy. In that event, the loss of the Pe tropavlovsk, with Admiral Makaroff and so many of his officers and men, will doubtless be the largest item in the Dbill. Meanwhile Japan seems to be willing enough to have Russia ‘‘charge it.” e D B W i Why shouldn’t Lee county support a newspaper as well as any county in the state? Its advantages are good, its people are prosperous, progressive people. Lees burg is a congenial little town, but we must not allow ourselves to become stag nant, while South Georgia is coming we must come with it, Look around you and see the small towns in South Georgia that have been built within the last ten vears, and we think itis about time for Leesburg to do something. Let us wake up and not let other communities and towns go ahead of us. Lend your assistance to your county paperin every way possible. The Journal is laboring for the upbuilding of our county,and with the assistance of onr people we can ac complish much. Let usall pull together, in unity there is strenth.
