The Non Commercial Buyer.

Under the above head the Topographic
Advertiser" contained in its last issue the fol-
lowing excellent article that can be easily
adapted to the local columns of most if not
all newspapers.
'.There exists on this mundane sphere a
number of tradesmen who cling to the idea
that economy is the soul of wealth. As to
the wisdom of the exercise of such motive
no doubt can exist. But we do not believe
in the practice of economy to the verge of
starvation. We do not believe in withhold
ing from others that which may be their just
due. We do not believe in the economy that
grinds the life and soul from dependent,
nor that which robs the toiler of his wage,
nor that which deprives the producer of a
living profit on his wares.
The most unjust and exasperating class of
economists that affiicts the business commun-
ity is the one represented by the bedrock or
rock bottom-price customers commercial
parasites who want something for nothing
who angle with stale worm in the hope of
capturing some unwary prize; impractical
and shiftless managers, who fleece the intel
ligent and prosperous producers to balance
the losses of their ill-managed concerns.
Owing to the improved systemization of the
methods of conducting business, this class of
pirates has been slowly decreasing. A few
rebuffs will soon drive them to seek their
wares in the field of inferior production, Or
cause them to drift into the channel of hon
Orable custom, recognized commercial integ-
rity, and the dispensing of one hundred cents
for what is given in trade and justly valued
at dollar"

An ENnlanat1On.

What is this nervous trouble with which
so many seem now to be afflicted? If you
will remember few years ago the word
Malaria was comparatively unknown-to-day
it is as common as any word in the English
language, yet this word covers only the mean
ing of another word used by our fore-fathers
in times past. So it is with nervous diseases,
as they and Malaria are intended to cover
what our grandfathers called Biliousness, and
all are caused by troubles that arise from a
diseased condition of the Liver which in per-
forming its functions finding it cannot dispose
of the bile through the ordinary channel is
compelled to pass it off through the system,
causing nervous troubles, Malaria, Bilious
Fever, etc. You who are suffering can well
appreciate cure. We recommend Green's
August Flower. Its cures are marvellous.

A horse trade that proved unremunerative
to some of the parties concerned, was finally
settled up Saturday. The parties to the trans
action were Herbert Weston and George F.
Avery, who have the contract for burning
the brick at Purington's brick yard. A week
ago last Thursday their cook decamped with
gold watch belonging to Weston. Taking
a team, the horse of which was chronic
kicker, they followed the advice of Marshal
Morse and drove to Hallowell and Gardiner.
While in the latter place they met young
man named Wakefield and traded horses.
last Thursday Mrs. Wakefield came to this
city and went to the brick yard, where she
demanded her horse, saying that the horse
was her property and her son had no right to
exchange it; that their horse was a kicker
and no one dared to go near it. The men
would not give up the horse, claiming that
they made fair trade and told the boy the
horse they let him have was kicker. Mrs.
w. returned to this city and getting Mr..
william Libby, went back to the yard, only
to find her horse gone. Mr.. Avery had tax
en- him into the country. Returning to the
city she got ont warrant for larceny and
put her case in the hands of an attorney.
Weston was found and brought to this city.
He plead not guilty and was put under $500
bonds. Mr.. Purinton furnished bail. Wes-
ton and Avery finally concluded to give up
the horse and pay the costs. The affair was
finally settled Saturday.
