Indeed we have secn it hinted that the Cham- pion's editor could find these joy dis- pei.saries without a guide. 0 Many of the State papers are em= phasizing the fact that the offices of Representative and County Commis- sioner are of more importance to the people than any other, and it may be that in time the people will become educated up to accepting this truth. Heretofore, in many instances coun- ties have not been represented by representative men and frequentiy the men who seek the office of coun- ty Commissioner are precisely those who ought not to have it. An incom- petent or corrupt legislator may do not only his own county but the en- tire State a great mischief which cannot be easily repaired, and the same statcment applies to the un- desirable incumbent of the Commis- sioner's office. The people should weigh well the character and quali- fications of the men seking these two offices, which so closely touch the concerns of their daily lives. SISO NS LY VERTISING TALKS. I'm sd well known 1 don't need to advertise,” said one man to me a short time back, “and 1 can sell all my output of stock and eggs.” Are you such another breeder? Quick now: Who ran for gover- nor of your state this last election on the opposite ticket? Who is the governor of your state today? Name and initials. Who is mayor of your city? Name and initials, Who is prosecuting attorney now? Did you answer all these simple questions? 1f so, you did what not one in a hundred did, and still these people were talked about for months and their names were in every man's mouth as well as in the daily papers for the same period. Come, now get down off your high pedestal, for if you wish to grow and get business season after season you must decide to map out a regular campaign of contingent advertising. Of course, if you only want to be a small breeder all your life and just raise a few for pleasure, you can do this with Buff Rocks, for your neigh- bors will take your surplus, but if you are hoping to grow and raise more grow. then yon must map out an ad- vertising plan that will bring you in- quiries, By constant plan, 1 mean one that will bring you enough new bus- iness each season to keep above your supply and to do this it should be a constant never-miss-an-issue policy.imw be forwarded to the daughters Do not try to say too much in the | of our departed comrade by the Ad- gpace you use, but make your ad so prominent that the hasty reader can not miss the sentence you wish to carry to him and hold his attention.

William's dauter that's dead, and we raised her, Marthy and me, and Iwe think weve done right well by her, Shes been goin to a school in Chicago and that's why you aint seen her before, but if you notis me goin down street with a good-lookin, hansome girl looking fresh and sweet as the roses on a dewy mornin and bearing a strong resemblence to me, vou can tell that is her. She is reel pleased with Lakeland, and she likes that idee about Rose Day and she says she is goin to write the names of a few of the most beauti- fullest roses that she knows of. She comes to town with two big valises erammed tull of stuff and says 1, “Clara Louise"—she was pamed Louise, but she took a notion to be Louise, so Louise it is—*Clara Louise,” for hevins sake what all have you got in them va- lises?" And, she says, says she. “Oh, Uncle Henry, don't call them valises. Tmem is sute cases, and Ive got a lot of presents for you and dear Aunt Marthy and Bobby.” You know Bobby, either, I pguess. Th Marthy's nephew, her brother Joshua's son, and thank hevens he dont take after his father much. We raised him too, and he is a fine boy but he is off to college bue we look for him home most any minit. Well, 1 says to Clara Louise, “Have you been bying out all Chicago?” and 1 says it cross, for I'm footing all her bills of whatever kind soever. “‘Dear Uncle Henry," says she, “don’t scold me, nor let Aunt Marthy, because | couldn't help it. 1 got in them stores and seen all the pretty decor- ations and seen other people bying, and says she, I couldnt stop. 1 saw 0o manny things | wanted you to Leve and I felt £o in the spiret of says I, don't (hristmas. They do , have such beautiful decorations,” she says. “(lara Louise,” says I, a little solem, “you aint goin to be scolded if 1 can help it, but maybe 1 cant, You Lave give me an idee,” says I, ‘‘may- be two or three of them.” Now, Mr. 1., | am writing them idees to you First, store decorations is a reel Lusness help. 1 never thought of that before. If a person is in the spiret of Christmas, they by more, there haint no doubt about it; Is there? You know there haint. And what is there to put a person in the notion of Christmas like seein hol- ley and misseltoe and Santa Clauses? There is some stores in this town which has done some decoratin and aint you heard peple say how pleesed they are with it? That is advertisin. What | want to says is, that every store in this towr had ought to get a hump on itsself and do all the decoratin it can think of, for the looks of the town and the sake of their own good. Another idee is, let no one let thereselves be stingy at Christmas. Let us wellcome the spiret of Ch mas which is love. Let us st cur bodys, if necessary, only 1 guess it aint quite that bad, in order that for oncet our souls can have free range, and do just as much good as they'd like to. Amen. No mere ot present from UNCLE HENRY. P. 8. Me and Marthy and Clara Louise and Bobby when he gets here all wishes you and Mrs. 1. a Mer- ry Christmas. ———————————————— RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT.
