acts of evil doers has come about because it has been in the interest of Bodety. There are a lot of persons who think that the world is much worse* than it used to be, because there is so much more criminal news reported, forgetting that they did not formerly know what was going on and were sublimely blissful in their ignorance. The publication of crime is not only a deterrent to lawbreaking, but it is a constant warning to citizens to be on the outlook. Burglars and thieves do not advertise. President-elect Taf( and family are to spend the time intervening from the present until he starts on bis Panama, trip at the Territt cottage, which stands on a hill about 200 feet above Summerville, a mile from Augusta, Ga. The cottage is surrounded by the residences of the winter tourists who visit Augusta regularly. It is situated in the rear of the Boh Air hotel, where the family will take thier meals. Vice-president-elect Sherman and family will also be guests of the Bon Air, although Mr. Sherman himself will spend but little time there. Mr. Taft Is fond of out door life and will take long rides each day along the country roads and spends part of his time playing golf. He is, however, a great student,' and most of his time is employed as a student of governmental problems that will confront his administration. The two leading merchants in Wolcott are former Rensselaer boys. They are Louie Leopold and Taylor Boicourt. Both started into business in a small way and grew to prominence and success with the aid of ' printer’s ink. The current issue of the Wolcott Enterprise contains a 1 two page advertisement for Mr. Leopold and a fpll page ad for Mr. Boicourt. While the other merchants there are quite good advertisers they must not expect to secure the hold on the business of that community that the two merchants mentioned have until they become bigger and better advertisers and put study and effort into the advertising business. The columns of the Republican have teemed with the advertising of Rensselaer merchants this year. A fine trade for them is the consequence.
