THE GREATEST SUCCESS
p:
During the coming year this fact is going to
be demonstrated once more in the store-work
of this town; the store (no matter how big or
how little it is at this moment) that makes the
greatest INCREASE in advertising—in effi-
cient advertising—is going to score the great
est increase in business, in sales, in profits.
There is not a shadow of doubt about this. You
could safely stake all of your property on the
Soundness of this forecast.
Now, in view of the self-evident truth of the
statement, should it not mean a good deal to
you personally? The logic of the matter will
prove itself for YOU—for your business.
Isn’t it a fine thing to aspire to be the most
efficient store advertiser in town in the next
twelve months—with the sure result of gaining,
growing faster, according to present size, than
any other store?
To compete in the lists means that your ad-
vertising—no matter how good now—must lie
BETTER, must be larger, more persistent; must
cost more—sometimes “more than you can af-
ford”—must take its place among the IMPOR
TANT things in store-keeping.
The merchant who demonstrates the truth of
this proposition during the ensuing year will
bate “learned things” in that time. He will
grow into an efficient advertiser—one who can
take a business enterprise on the point of his
pen and lift it to assured success.—The Ad.
Man.
RANDOM SHOTS
I shot an arrow into the air; it fell in the dis-
tance, I knew not where, till a neighbor said
that it killed his calf, and I had to pay him six
and a half ($6.50.) I bought some poison to
slay some rats, and a neighbor swore that it
killed his cats; and, rather than argue across
the fence, I paid him four dollars and fifty
cents ($4.50). One night I sat sailing a toy bal-
loon, and hoj>ed it would soar till it reached the
moon; hut the candle fell out on a farmer’s
straw, and he said I must settle or go to law.
And that is the way with a random shot; it|i
never hits in the proper sj>ot; and the joke you
spring, that you think so smart, may leave a
wbund in some fellow’s heart.—"Walt Mason, in
the Emporia (Kan.) Gazette.

One of the handsomest booklets we have seen
for some time is that just issued by the Sunset
Route, calling attention to the beauties and the
conveniences of that route for the Order of Elks,
who will j ouraey to Los Angeles, California,
next year to the Grand Lodge session to be held
in that city. With the royal purple of the Elks
the predominant color, the booklets handsome-
ly illustrated with views of the magnificent
trains of the Sunset Route and views of inter-
est in the principal cities through which that
road runs. It is a most creditable publication
in every way and should prove a winner in
drawing the patronage of the thousands of
Elks who will journey to the California city
next summer.
March next. Mr. Cooper will endeavor to sig-
nalize his retirement from congress by secur-
ing an appropriation for deepening the Sabine-
Neches canal to a depth of twenty-five feet, and
in this effort we heartily trust that he may
succeed.
Orange is going to send a strong delegation
to New Orleans next week to attend the Inter-
coastal Canal convention held by the Interstate
Inland Waterways Association. This great
waterway project will be of immense value to
Orange in many ways when it is completed, and
that it will be completed without delay seems
now to be an assured fact.
The Leader is a firm believer in the patron-
age and support of home industries, because
every industrial or business institution that is
built up in Orange adds that much more to the
wealth and resources of the community, pro-
vides employment for that many more people,
adds that much more to the tax fund, and in
every way helps to build up the community.
It would be a pity, indeed, if through the
combined efforts of the city council, the school
board and the people a thousand dollars could
not be raised to add to the five hundred dol-
lars offered byjthe county for filling and re-
claiming the public school property that now
lies in the marsh.

8hln* Just Where You Are.
Don’t waste your time In longing
For bright. Impossible things;
Don’t sit supinely yearning
For the swiftness of angel wings,
Don't spurn to be a rushlight
Because you are not a star,
But brighten some bit of darkness
'By shining Just where yon are.
There is need of the tiniest candle
As well as the garlBh sun;
The humblest deed ts enobled
When K Is worthily done;
Yott'may never be called to brighten
The darkened regions afar;
So All. for the day, your mission
By shining just where you are.
—John Hay.
Orange visitors to Beaumont this week have
had much to say in praise of the magnificent
illuminations anti electrical display that have
been seen there every night. Beaumont has
just about put Houston and New Orleans in the
shade in the matter of street illumination and
decoration.
The majority of tbe churches in Orange will
lie open tomorrow, with services both morning
and night and there should lie no excuse for
anyone failing to attend Divine service at some
of them. Orange is fast becoming a city of
church going people, but there are yet quite* a
numlter who have not become accustomed to
the habit.
People living in that portion of Orange east
and north of Fourth street are beginning to
wear a smile that won’t coine off, because, at
last, some public work is Ixiing done in that j>or
tion of the city. The marsh filling, street grad
ing and wharf building is in this territory, and
a wonderful improvement is being made.
There are a number of small cane mills and
syrup making plants in Orange county, all of
which have been in o^ieration for the past fort
night. Sugar cane grows well in this county ami
there is no reason why a big syrup making
plant would not lie a good investment.

playing in bis own way and choosing
the melody. Never mind, soon we

After an hour’s rehearsal the class
returned to Mlsa Oxley's and enjoyed
delicious hot i chocolate, whipped
cream and cake.
The class appreciated very much
tbe dainty cake sent as a gift to the
Baracs Claas by Mrs. Frank Brown.
The members of the class earnestly
request that every person In Orange
assist them M the benefit at the Mar-
vel. Watch tbe Leader for the date
and buy all tbe tickets you possibly
can. This Is to assist the class in
securing many needed things to carry
on the work of the organxation.
Any Baraca will have tickets al-
ways In his pocket.
