The fact that the News office is recognized by careful business men as the place to get sale bills, for the reason, in the first place, that they are attractive, and in the second place, the large circu lation of the News carries your sale advertisement into a very large percentage of the homes in the County. Week before last we got out an order for bills for a farmer, and they were so at tractive and nifty that he could n't begin to take care of the crowds that flocked to the sale. After getting the top price for every animal, implement, and article on the bill, the auctioneer said he just couldn't stop. The people just clamored for more. The farmer, in the hope of driving them away, put up his mother-in-law. She brought $160 on the hoof. Then he offered his mortgage for sale. A lifelong friendship between two old neighbors was shattered as each tried to outbid the other. It was finally knocked down to the richer man who was promptly knocked down by the noorer. He sold the weeds along the roadside. He sold a gold brick that he bought in Chicago dur ing the World's Fair. He sold the ruts in the road in front of his place and then offered to sell the secret of where he had the sale bills printed. We cannot give the results as the returns are not all in. They are bidding yet. That's the kind of sale bills we print. Give us a call. "If You'll Go, I'll Go." Say that to some friend when you leave him, Saturday night Of course you will mean that you will go to church Sunday if he will go too. That's a fine way to start off. If you are undecided as to which church to attend, se lect the one your mother used to go to. You can't go far wrong. Any fellow's mother's religion ought to be good epough for him. So next Sunday give up the lazy hour in bed. Have your best clothes ready. Put 'em on and start out with yonr head up and your shoulders back. You're do ing one of the best things you ever did in your life and if you keep it up you will never be sor ry. And you'll be surprised to see how good it feels to be in church. And above all things, if there is congregational singing, SING. Don't merely hold the book and bluff at singing. Fill up your lungs and let out the mu sic. You'll know it, all right You may have forgotten t he words but the tune, never. Why your mother used to sing it! She will be a happy woman when she knows that her boy was at church.
