The only salesman who will
work for his employer day and
night, when ever there is an
eye to catch him, is a good
advertisement. The hand bills
that are “planted” in the sew
er by the careless distributor,
the signs that are painted on
fences, the bass drum and
brass band that parade the
town, are all out of sight and
forgotten, when the buyers
are at home, in the office, at
luch, almost anywhere else.
The newspaper N is always in
evidence.
It is the truest courtesy to
advertise. It is a polite invi
tation for people to come to
your store and see you as well
as your goods. It is a guar
antee of fair and polite treat
ment to all who come. Every
one likes the polite and cordial
person. Now this courtesy
gets the people to your store.
You should stand by your
promises in the advertisement
or you will get the name of
Jone who knowingly misrepre
sents for the purpose of de
ceiving people. That is ruin
'-.o a merchant. No man make
a better investment than to
advertise, and do it intelli
gently in a good medium, and
then faithfully stand by every
thing he promises to do.

“We were married thirty-seven
years.” a man said, who had lost
his wife, “and in all that time she
never gave me a cross word. But
I shall never forget the first time I
scolded her. One morning when
we had been married two years, I
found a button off my shirt. I
threw the garment at her, and said
in a rough voice. ‘Sew a button
on !’ She got a button and sewed
it on, saying, ‘Forgive me, hus
band, I had a great deal to do yes
terday, and I forgot it; but it shall
never happen again. Her gentle
words almost broke rny heart-
I could have gone down on m/
knees to ask her forgiveness. Sue
made a different man ol me, and
the world has been a different
place since she died,

RE VEL ATIONS 22:2.
F. H. TALLANT.
There is a tree that beareth fruit:
It beareth twelve in number,
It brings them forth in winter time,
It yields, too, in summer.
This tree is on either side the river;
It never lacks for care or water,
It’s leaves hath healed the nations,
They will heal your son or daughter.
By faith all may share the yield;
By grace be grafted in,
Then they delight to work
And desire to cease from sin.
Their fruit gets ripe in every month ;
It thrives in every zone,
It is the spirit of Christ
That was in your bosom sown.
What is your yield in January?
Have you pent up grief or cold?
Do you doubt preserving grace?
Has your hope grown hopeless or old?
What of February fruit, my brother?
Have you attended church, do you
pray?
Or do you feel self righteous?
Have you partly gone astray?
Oh for March fruit, my brother;
Have you early pruned your trees?
Have you ever been an humble Chris
tian?
And gone to God on bended knees?
Now for Aprii fruit, my friend ;
Can you now begin to sing,
And lay aside your self righteousness,
And praise tne Lord in early spring?
May is coming on, my brother;
Ought you not now repent?
Are you hiding your talants?
Are you sulking in your tent?
Shall June with all her fruit
Find you a barren tree?
Fall in liue, my brother,
From wrath and justice flee.
July is a fruitful month:
O Christian, there is work to do.
The fields are white unto harvest
But laborers are becoming few.
In August will you be in the fight?
Is your breast-plate and helmet on?
Are you clothed with salvation?
Can you meet a world of sin and scorn?
September! Oh, such pretty fruit?
As nature doth provide:
Do you trust the Lord
That your Christian fruit be multiplied?
October next, my brother,
With its hardy fruit and frost:
Are you going to feel shaky brother,
As though a regenerate could be lost?
November time to gather in
And store away for summer use,
Draw near your brother and your God,
Or your deceitful tongue will make
excuse.
Shall December find you, alas !
A regenerate to God and right?
Or find you serving Christ
And bringing sin to light?
Is it possible the time will come
The devil will look you in the face
Exclaiming! Trifling, hypocritical
humbug!
Or a Baptist that is fallen from grace.
You are the adopted heirs ;
The seed that was early sown ;
YOU must bear the fruit
And make liis promise known.
Many parents seem to think that
it makes little difference whether
their children are prompt in J,heir
attendance at school or not. They
think that five minutes off the end
of a half day now and then will be
little hinderance to their child’s
progress Well, the pupil will
not lose much real information, by
being occasionally a few minutes
late. But he will lose that which
is more important—he will lose
his interest in school.

Please give me a little
space in your valuable paper, and
I will make an effort to organize a
“Boys Corn Club,” in this the best
county in northeast Ga,
Now boys, I want everyone be
tween sixteen and twenty years of
age who will undertake to tee how
much corn he can grow on an acre
of upland, the present year, to
tend me his name and address on a
postal card as soon as possible.
We have the boys and the mus
tle and the land, so let’s do some
thing worth while,
I want at iea*t five from each
district, and the more the better.
If I can get enough names to
make it interesting, we will have a
meeting at the court house before
planting time and organize. Boys,

whole lot to ourselves, and our
county. We are going to have a
three days fair next fall, so let’s
get a move on us and let the Boy’s

been pulled off in Ga.
There will be no fees or dues.

But of all the cronic kickers who
make the art of a trade, the cranks
who kick the papers are the lowest
on the grade ; they kick if you for
get them in a notice of a fight, and
lift the very ceiling if their names
a e not spelled right ; the kick be
cause their paper is silent on their
fads, and kick a little harder when
it has a run of ads ; they kick when
dunned for money, and when at
last they pay, they leave you with
a blessing which takes your breath
away.
