The secret of success in certain lines of advertising is to catch the drift of public necessity at the proper time and then to makeyourannouncement that you possess something with which “to fill the long-felt want.” Your advertisement must convey its information to the reader in the simp lest and most direct form. Upon this qualification will the value of the advertisement chiefly depend. est time and at the smallest cost.

He was leading a Texas pony with his arm slipped through the bridle reins, when the horse became frightened at something, and jerking back, broke the general’s arm. This accident prevented the general from attending the reoent reunion of the Fourth Georgia regiment. J. P. Copeland of Henry county is an old confederate veteran, who lost his good right arm on the blood stained plains of Virginia. After the war he began life, like all confeder ates, poor and penniless. By supe rior tact and a determination to carve a fortune out of the debris of a wnr-wasted country, he set to work and in twenty years has added a cool $1,000 to each of those years.

At Gainesville Wednesday the J. G Hynur Manufacturing Company moved into their new quarters. Thei place of business fronts fifty feet on Main street, runs back 160 and has two floors aud a basement.

The best advertising medium is un doubtedly printer's ink; for local pur poses, in a newspaper; and for any special line, in a good trade journal Printer’s ink, it has been said, can outtalk any salesman or out-argue any obstinate buyer. It can’t be talked back to, and when its opponent has expended every argument against the subject, comes up smiling every time with the same old state ment, aud finally convinces and leads him in.—National Laundry Journal. When the delegation of Georgia farmers arrived in Cincinnati they were taken in charge for a while by Gov. Foraker, who led the way to au exhibit, at the Ohio state fair, of so-called confederate relics. Among these was a picture intended to convey an impression of the hard ships at Andersonville prison. It was painted from imagination by a bloody shirt republican, and that is all that needs to be suid about it, except that it has been used in several campaigns to stir up bitter feelings against the seuth. Gov. Foraker felt rather sheepish when he was asked what the picture was intended to represent and the significant smiles of the Geor gians when answered, were not ca^ culated to decrease his embarrass meat.

"The circumstances at Fredericks burg were one thing and the circum stances at Gettysburg wore unother thing,” continued the old man. “General Wolseloy wasn't at Fred ericksburg.

Patterson and Huff. Wo are glad of this. These gentlemen went out of the state to fight a duel, intend ing to violate the law of Alabama. The only reason that they did not fight, is because they could not find each other. If the facts are as stated—that they went to fight a duel in another state which makes duelling a crime—then the Legislature of Georgia should be heard from by expressing its emphat ic condemnation. What a shame for two honorable gentlemen, influenced by passion and resentment, to deliberately agree to vi olate the laws of another state which they had Bworn to support in their own. And these two gentlemen are members of the Georgia Legislature. What a bad example to the young men of the state. Whither are we drifting. No good man will ever think any the less of his neighbor or friend because he declines to fight a 'duel. On the contrary, he will com mend him for his sensible determina tion and law-abiding conduct.—Au gusta Chronicle. “ ‘I wish Burnsides had command of the whole yankee nation and would bring them ergiu Longstreet down there.’ “History may not say anything erbont this incident, hut its I was there—behind a log—and be sides tho artillerymen told that was what he said. Anyhow, I know darned well that I know and seed er heap more than ever Wolseley saw. “Them yaukees were well dressed, and well fed, aud I might say, well whiskied. The confederates who fit them were naked, starved and bare footed. When the fight was over the yankees wero stripped of every vestige of wearing apparel and their nude bodies lay exposed upon the snow oovered field of battle. “These are facts. “Not only this, but while Long- street was so successful in front of Frederlcsburg, Jackson had er terrible tusBil down the river. Some of his men throwed rocks to hold er railroad cut and if ever you seed yankees dodge it was there. “Lee’s army was in no condition to oross that river and follow up his vic tory. At Gettysburg the whole yankee nation were stirred up. The confed erates were on their ground at their doors. I don’t know so much erbout that place, but I know they fit and fit mighty hard. The old soldiers said there was er difference in invad ing and being invaded. “I love General Lee—I love his memory. I love to hear the name of Jackson, but, it makes me mad when any little old fellow from erway ercross the ocean says things in dis paragement of Longstreet’s war rec ord.” There is some talk among the ladies of Griffin oFcomblulng and importing about twenty-five Swiss girls for housemaids.

There were several things that had had a tendency to create more or less trouble among the brethren. •’irst came the question of calling an xtra session of Congress. That took up several hours and the debate at times became somewhat sharp, not to say angry, but Messrs Wlndom and Tracy, who have from the first op posed calling an extra session, finally succeeded iu getting tho question decided iu their favor. So that mat ter is settled. There will be no extra session of Congress. The country should be thankful. But here aro two little matters that were not set- led: tho rumpus between Secretary Noble and Commissioner Tanner over the question of who runs the Pen sion office, (It is thought by those best informed that a final settlement of this matter will create either a vacancy In the cabinet or in the Pen sion office) and the ridiculous farce being enacted iu Behrings Sea under the orders of tho Treasury depart ment whereby crews of one man aro placed on vessels captured for illegally taking seals. No one ob jects to the seizure and confisca tion of these vessels, that is only carrying out the law, but the idea is spreading around that tho Treasury department does not wish to hold the the vessels or it would see that a proper prize crew was put on the cap tured vessels. One of Secretary Win- dom’s colleagues asked same very pointed questions about these seizures and many still more pointed ques tions about these sellers, and many still more pointed are likely to be asked by inquisitive Congressmen next winter. The United States Government has one more war vessel afloat today than it had when I last wrote you, that is, unless some of those already afloat have struck a rock or a snag and gone to the bottom since the successful launching of the new cruis- Phlladelphia” at Philadelphia, Saturday. Among the appointments made by President Harrison Saturday was a son of Olive Logan, the widely known newspaper correspondent, to be con sul at Bristol, England. He was credi ted to Texas but as a matter of fact he lived ubroad nearly all his life. He owes his appointment entirely to the influence of his talented mother. The democratic employes of the House were not displeased to learn that there would be no extra session. It means a couple of months salary to those fellows. Washington is the healthiest city of Its population in the world. This may sound strange to some people In view of the many silly newspaper, jokes about "Washington Malaria,” etc., but it is a fact which is fully borne out by the carefully kept statis tics of the District of Columbia Health offioe. Senator Barbour, who lias consent- tod to continue to act as Chairman of the Virginia democratic executive committee until Mr. B. B. Gordon, the recently elected chairman recov ers from his sickness, has Issued an address to tho voters of his state urg ing them to perfect their organiza tion and to rally in defense of their state ticket. He says that Mahone will be supported by all the powers and resources of the Federal administra tion There are rumors that the adminiS' tion deal to make Reed Speaker of the House is off, and that McKinley is now the favored man. McKiuly has always opposed an. extra session and it is to that fact ln all probabilty that this rumor owes its being. The greater part of the adnlinistra- tion is in Baltimore to day to look at the monster parade with which the Maryland state exposition was open- ed. America Is the greatest country ln the world, just as the great American exposition to be h*hl in Washington in 1893 will be the groatest show of the kind ever seen. “Corporal” Tanner says there no truth in the rumor whioh said he Not Belated.
