SELECTIONS FOR A NEWSPAPER.
Most people think the selection of
suitable matter for a newspaper the
easiest part OF the business How
great an errori 1t is the most diff
cult. To look over hundreds and
hundreds Of exchange papers every
week, from which to select enough
for one, especially when the question
is not what shall, but what shall not
be selected, is DO easy task. If
every person who reads newspaper
could have credited, this we should
hear less complaint. Not unfre-
quently is it the case that an editor
looks over all his exchange papers,
for something interesting must be
had--his paper must come out with
somethingin it, and does the best he
can. To an editor who has care
about what he selects, the writing
that he has to do is the least Of the
labor. Just as MAN. subscribers as
an editor may have so many tastes
has he tc consult.

DON'T GO Away FROM HOME

Reader, don't go away from home
to buy your goods. Buy them from
your home merchants. Some peo-
pie will run accounts with merchants
at home, and as soon as they get
money, they will go off to q large
city and buy fer cash. This 10 de-
cidedly small, to use no stronger
term. Suppose you spend your
money in Atlanta, will you ever hear
from it again Do the merchants
of Atlanta or New York, care any
thing about you or your town or
county, Do they help your schools
or your churches, or pay anything
towardsth improvements Of your
town or county, When you pay
them your money, is it not going
from you foreverY II you will
spend il at home, a portion of it at
least, is sure to return to you in one
way or another. The tra1esman
you patronIze will patronize you IN
return, and thus the matter becomes
one Of mutual benefit.
1t may be said Tour home mer-
chants do not keep as good stocks
as those in larger cities" If all will
patronize home merchants, they will
be enabled to keep much larger
stocks and better selections than
they have at present. You cannot
indulge iu homespride and love of
home to TOO great an extent.
