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. Milltown. Tom Crow and Miss Decie Owens were married last Sunday afternoon. Rev. J. E. D.

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. Our merchants are having a brisk trade since the excessive winter weather is gone. Hutcheson College, at this place, has had a very large enroll ment this spring, despite the ex tremely bad weather.

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 Atlanta Constitution.
