PUBLISHED IN THE INTEREST OF RELIGION, EDUCA TION, LITER A 7 URE AND GENERAL INTELLIGENCE. \ YOL. XX. 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.

Butord, Ga, * Changed by Kindness. “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, FOR SALE —One 2 horse In ternational engine; used at fair for sample. Will sell at reduced price. Easy terms. to. J. Busha, Buford, Ga. A happy fireside is belter than a big bank account. ®k Natth (!xorgkn. 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. CUMMING, GA. FEBRUARY \ 8 1910. Boy’s Corn Club.

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.
