turning to a waste of mud and moss,

Country Store Advertising.
Country store advertisizg is 1m-
proving, and as it improves it
grows more interesting aud
all the better for the interest it
excites. It was formerly of little
consequence, because country
storekeepers took little interest
in this department of their own
buisness. ~he advertising was
unpopular, was neglected, and
regarded as a bore because it was
considered an expense rather than
a source of profit. Shrewd men
have taken the adyertising ex-
pense account from the oblack-
list it formerly occupied, and put
itin the light so that we can
plainly see just what its value is
and its probable and profitable
returns. Money is now spent,
not grudgingly as formerly, but
freely and voluntariiy, and in
some instances, lavishly. That
n may be thrown away, the
quality of country store adver-
tising should be carefully con-
sidered and every help toward
goodness adopted. We. quote
the tollcwing suggestion from an
exchange, as possibly @ useful
one:
oA good plen for busy dealers
to put into operation, and one
that has been tried with success,
is to put every clerk in the house
uvon his mettle aud award some
prize to the one who gets up the
best arranged ar most uttractive
advertisemert. The moment they
feel a spirit of gocd natured
rivairy they begin to devote their
spare moments to the questicn,
and oftentimes they think out a
policy that is not only a surprise
to ~themselves, but to their
employers., It also serves aS &
drill in one of the first essentials
to a good merchant. This ap-
plies as well to circular an-
nouncements as tu newspaper
ads.�
[he average country clerk has
no concep 100 of any special tal-
ent or adaptability he may pos-
sess that might be usefally ap--
ptied to business affairs. He re-
gards the oOla Man� as an oracle;
wonders how he happens to know
so much, aud where he learned it,
but doesn't dream of setting out
to likewise learn, nor even ct
probing for an? latent talent he
may hiwself possess. Ha» needs
spurring, ard it will be to his
employer's advantage t use the
spur- We speak by the card 12
tuis matter; we were & country
clerk ourself once upon a time,
and retrospectT holds up to us to-
day more than a trifle of time
wasted for want of a spurring "

The Farmer was Fixed for Him
S well to do Georgia farmer
invited a merchant friend to Zine
with him. The merchant was
known for his crankiness, and
haa o.ce or twice tried to shoot
peuple for imagined wrongs.
The farmer had consideraile bus-
iness dealings with him, and they
were on the best of terms. How-
ever, the farmer kept a wary eye
On him.
Several days after the dinner at
the farmerTs houce the merchant
said to him:
oT canTt account for the queer
feelings and impuises I have oc-
casionally. For instance, the
other day when I was dining at
your table, it suddenly came into
my mina to kill you though [had
nothing in the world against you-
I had a pistol in my pocket at the
time, and once I had wy hand on
it when the strange fesling pavs-
ed frow me.�
oDonTt let that bother you,�
said the far er, oI ~knowed all
about your failioTs in that line,
anT I woznTt asleep wbheo I saw
vour hip. My son John woz
standinT io the ballway back of
you with a shotgun leveled at vov,
anT vou just did save your bacon
by changinT your mind. Ei you
hadn't heTd er blowed daylight
through you.�"-Atlanta Consti--
