KEEP your money at home, IF
there is anything you are in need Of, from
a shoe peg or a paper of p;nsto a thrash
ing machine, and the same can be bought
at home at anything like a reasonable
price, don't send your money away to a
foreign market for it. Buy all your dry
goods, clothing, notions, and groceries Of
home men. Hive your boots made
and mended by shoe-makers ofyour own
city. Get your wagons repaired, and
bIacksmithing done By home mechanics,
and thus the money will be kept in cir
culation at home, business Of different
kinds will be increased. the country will
prosper and all be benefited. Bear these
facts in mind when you are tempted to
send abroad for articles which can be
purchased fully as cheap at home.

ONE of the Kansas City papers insists
that the debt OF Jackson County, which
amounts to about 800, 900, should be
funded. Of course it should, and so
should the debt ofevery county in the
the different Counties and tp the sn Convenience r1saas os
of the creditors. Further than this, the
incoming Legislature should pass a bill
requiring that debt Of every county to be
registered in the Auditors Office, at JEFF
ferson City. When this is done, and not
until then, the people Of each county will
know just what is a legal debt, and what
of their alleged outstanding claims are
vcritab!e. IF this had been done two
years ago it would have saved a useless
expenditure of good money and bad blood
in a number of localities. democrat.
