Niltie*SPAPER ADVERTISING BEST
••••••.1101•4.11111.11.1==.1•112•01.11
Barikere have come to more fully
appreciate the value of advertising
and they attribute most ,of their suc-
cess to wise and judicious advertising
in the newspaners. The Mississippi
BankerAssociation teaseled the „re-
solution at its recent Matta COAVell-
tion, therein. urging the fraternity to
use advertising appropriation in buy-
ing space in newspapers only. This
is also true •of every other business
and profession. Much money is spent
En foolish advertising and not enough
in judicnitte advertising. All the large
retail businesses and patent 'medicine
millionaires in the country owe their
succen. chiefly to a system of liberal,
and judicious advertising.

SEND IN YOUR LOCAL NEWS,
We Prleisurne that there never was
a newspaoer in any locality that gave
all the local hapPenitielsla It is often
that lomeone comes or goes that the
the reporter does ,not see, It happens
that the family has been: missed sev-
eral times and they get the impres-
sion. that the editor does not care to
mention them. This is a mistake. In
most ,country towns the local work is
the hardest work connected with a
newa,paper. Most people take a local
pager to get the local happenings.
Don't be afraid to tell us that you
have friends visiting you. There are
lots of people who are interested in
your friends. You owe it as a duty
to them Za let your friends know of
their doings. Pethaps you think the
paner shows partiality, but just see if
the Paper doesn't treat you right if
you give It a chance.
