The merchant who does business in this age presents to the public an inviting show- window, wherein he displays his goods in away that attracts passing attention, and often makes customers. The day of the dirty and dark window- has long ago passed. Along the same line is the merchant's advertisement in his local paper. No longer does the live storekeeper secure business by a standing stereotyped display but he must fill his space with interesting messages to the public, regularly changed with as much care as is his window. Try it, if you haven’t. Decatur is the meeting place for various conventions this year. Several have already been held here, including the democratic district meeting, the Knights of Pythias, and among those scheduled to occur are the district conventions of the Pohahontas lodge on the 11th of this month, and the Pythian Sisters on May Ist.

HORSE TALK. If you have a horse in which you think ’here is speed and wish that , speed developed, or if you have one ‘ and are in doubt as io f, s speed pos sibilities and wish to find out just | what speed there is in it, I am the i man you should see. 1 am an expert in this line. I say expert, be- ' cause I have been skilled by experience. And what is an expert, but the finished product of experience? Os course there are some men who don’t I learn anything from experience, but these men are exceptions. There might be some excuse for a man wno tails to learn from books, but when he'ean't learn from experience, something is wrong. Now, I have succeeded in learning something from experience. I have made horse training a specialty for 35 years. Most assuredly I have been giving some satisfaction; otherwise I would not have stayed in the business. I would like to say right here that you can’t begin preparing your horse too early. Os course some think the weather now unfavorable, but the right kind of exercise in the mud tentioh will not hurt the horse, hut on the other h-.ad will do him much good and will go a long way toward legging him up. Mftny horses have been ruined by fast work because thev lacked this legging up. Another important thing is balancing. If you have a good horse that you are butchering up on the road you will be surprised at what a change a few weeks in my hands will bring about in him. You will find m; charges reasonable and my fair. I have wintered several this season. I have in my stable at present six head: Judge Askins, jr., who is a very fast three-year-old; Gypsie Online. a spei?dy two-year-old: also Elgin, Maude Wilkes and Red Streak, all of whom seem to be very good prospects.
