NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING. As the business season is fast approaching we wish to say a word to advertiser?—to the bus¬ iness men of Conyers. During several years in the newspaper business we have observed that those who do the mo6t adver¬ tising are the ones who make the most money. There are but few exceptions. Where men do model ately well without it. it is evident they would have done better with it. Ten years ago a drug clerk on small salary organized a firm with $3,000 paid in. This year the firm’s profits are $754),000 divided among the stockholders. That clerk is now a New York millionaire. He says, “Without newspaper advertising I might have made a living, but it Mas advertising that made me lich. Another firm began by $10,000 That firm s busi¬ ness has so increased that $1, 000,000 will be expended this year for advertising. Dougher t,y, cf Atlanta, was at one time one of the most extensive ad¬ vertisers in the btate, but he ?topped advertising, and about a year after he went out of the newspapers he went out of bur- iness. Scores of likoillustrations could be given, showing the great profits which come from advertising* Try it. Now, or by the first ol August is t-« time to coni¬ Ineuce fer I lie fall trade.

The services, though somewhat lengthy, were interesting and profltab’e to the large audience in attendance, the business houses having all been closed that all might honor him who had lived so long and so well in Conyers At the conclusion the body was turned over to the Masonic brethren, who took charge and marched to the cemetery where the burial ritual of that ancient order, pay¬ ing the last tribute to a deceased broth¬ er, was performed. Dust to dust, ashes the to ashes, the sprig of the acasia, funeral dirge, the Tilling of the grave, and all was over. There he rests. In concluding this article we wish to ad t our tribute ffi his memory. We had known him but a few months, and yet we were at first impressed with his ur¬ bane manners, bis kindness and h's smoothness of temper.
