| One Of our exchanges very truthfully
remarks, that to make a town prosperous
everything possible should be purchased in
it and in this way money will circulate
amongst us, going from one to another,
instead Of entering the pockets Of the rich
merchants Of the eastern cities, never to
4 return again. We have entered upon the
holiday trade when thousands of dollars
will be expended, and it is to be hoped that
one and all Of our people will forego pur-
chasing in the cities, and give our town
merchants that support which they merit
as citizens and snen who have invested
their capital in our midst. Not, Of course,
forgetting those who advertise literally in
their home paper, for such men can always
be depended upon for honest dealing.
