No VW hiskey Ads. Run in
This Paper.
On Sunday morning last we
received quite a number of busi
ness letters along with our paper
male, and: among our letters was
one from a big whiskey concern
in Kentucky, wanting to adver
sise their liquor through The
News. They made us a splendid
offer to run their ad. for six
months, payable at the end of
each month. The price was ex
ceptionally good
After reading the proposition
over carefully, and giving the
matter a momentor two’s thought
we dashed the letter in the fire,
and said: No, vo, if we can’t
make a living in Hazlehurst with
out ageepting whiskey ads., we
will thrcwup the sponge. No
‘whiskey ads. goes into '%he Ha
zlehurgt News, 89 long as S. A.
Fackler has tne management of
the paper in his hands. :
