We sre informed by Postmaster Hull
that he issues, on an average. one
thousand dollars in money orders per
week, which in 4 year amounts to the
large sum OF fifty.two thousand dollars.
The grenter part Of this sum is sent to
Cheap John auction b Juses In the east
and west. who are continually sending
out circulars advertising schneid ner-
chandise and filled up with wood cuts,
for goods. These goods almost invar-
iably turn out much inferior In quality
to those that were ordered but the pur-
chaser has no other recourse but to
keep them. us TO return tnem would
necessitate an expense greater than the
value Of the goods and the buyer con-
sequently has to make the best Of bad
bargain. In u town like this, where
the capital employed is limited, is il
any wonder that times are hard when
the sum of fifty-two thousand dollars
and more are sent ont of il yearly. II
would take larger and much richer
towns than ElkO to stand steady
drain, OF this Sort from i.s capital. Is
it not probable that If this sum Of
money was kept in the county that the
hard times that are now upon us would
not be so hard after alp In fuct would
we not have easy times in COM
parison with those that are causing
such general distress. Is il not better
aud cheaper in the end to spend
twenty-five cents more for nn article at

getting, thnn TO send your money of, to
those that yon know not and who will
send You what pleas9s their fancy and
often times will not send nything, aud
leave you minus your money. We con-
slider that this sending your money out
Of the country is one OF the causes OF
the present stringent times and advise
all who would see the return OF the
good old times to invest their money
and savings at home, in the place that
they earn it.
