the attention Of our local exchanges, is
how to boom their respective towns.
Every ingenuity is resorted to in order
to create some stir, sensation, or excite
| ment to bring busiGess. So far as Il
own observation and experience goes,

Work in harmony. No good can come
in discussions and strife. Patronize
home industry. Don't send away for
goods Of any kind, unless unable to
! lind what is wanted in your own town.
! Advertise your business and secure a
rood trade. Re not selfish. BE enter

YOUR noigt.bor. and if your town don't
prosper it will not Dc your fault.
