Our cemetery, south Of town, needs q
fence very much, and many of the graves

short time, we could build nice fence. Will
some of our citizens call meeting and see

Il. G. Thatcher announces elsewhere his
platform of principles, the correctness of
which can not be gainsaid. But, what is
better than the saying of it, his customers

confirm the friendship and make many more
dollars in the course of time, and just as
| surely it brings indirectly more customers
friends and profits, while the ten dollars
made by making an enemy is killing the
goose which lays the golden egg, first, by
losing all the after profits which his trade
would have brought, and second, by losing
all the new trade which the influence, great
or small, of this enemy will divert elsewhere
