Up-to-D&te Advertisements.
If the advretiser looks upon his advertise
ment in the newspaper in the same way he looks
upon his display windows and dresses his ad
vertisement as frequently and as artistically as
he dresses his windows it will bring rich re
turns.
The newspaper advertisement has the ad
vantage over the shop window that it does not
wait for the occasional passerby to turn his head
for a fitting glance at it, but goes straight to
the homes of all the purchasers, men and women,
big and little, and never fails to be taken in
and read.
The advertiser who is careless and irregu
lar about changing his advertisement, soon edu
cates the reader not to look for it, and the result
is his money is almost thrown away.
The News prefers to have its advertising
patrons change their advertisements frequently
because they will get better results when they
do, will be better satisfied and consequently will
remain better customers.
The News wants to demonstrate that ad
vertising pays and can and will do so. if the ad
vertiser will do his part. It is money in the
pockets of both advertisers and The News when
advertisments are kept up to date.

Whitesburg
The local branch <^f the South
em Cotton Growers Association
was duly organized here a few
weeks ago, and its membership is
constantly growing. About sixty
farmers of this district have pledg
ed themselves to reduce their cot
ton acreage and fertilizer bills 25
per cent. This appears to be the
best movemeut ever organized
among the farmers, and it should
have the unanimous support of
every farmer. Unless such an or
ganization can be perfected among
the cotton growers, the price of
cotton will always be very unsatis
factory.
The farmers have for the past
ten days been very active in the
prosecution of their farm work.
The hustling, energetic spirit of
genuine activity and old fashion
industry has certainly been abroad
in the land. A large quantity of
oats have been sown in this sec
tion of the county.

brisk trade since the excessive
winter weather is gone.

Ben Pearson’s Accident.
While bringing a convict by
buggy from Gumming to Buford,
on Tuesday, Transfer Guard Ben
Pearson, of the penitentiary de
partment, had a narrow escape
from a serious accident as the re
sult of a runaway.
There is no railroad to Cum-
ming, which is in P'orsyth county,
and Mr. Pearson took a buggy to
go after Benjamin Franklin Sims,
a white convict sentenced to serve
ten years for voluntary man
slaughter. While returning from
Cumming to Buford, the buggy
pole fell from the harness, and so
frightened the horses that they
ran away at a lively clip. Mr.
Pearson says he did not wait to be
thrown from the buggy, but just
fell headlong to the road, while the
horses ran into a plum orchard,
where they were stopped by the
thorns on the trees. The convict
jumped out and held the horses
until Mr. Pearson came up, mak
ing no attempt to escape. As it
was, neither of them was badly
hurt, and they continued their
journey to Buford.-—Thursday’s
