Dear readers, We have been serving
you through the columns of The DEMO
Graf as best we could every week since
LIST of January last. 1t has been eight
months, and we have done our best.
Many of you, doubtless, have had your
summer rest for a few days at the sea-
shore. You who are farmers haye had a
few days breathing spell between the
laying by of your crops and the time for
fodder pulling and cotton picking. You
who belong to the Mounted Rit1emer
have had pleasant sojOurn at WTights-
Vile. Your manly bearing and soldierly
department elected praise for you through
the columns of the daily press. THE
DEMOCRAT published them every time
and has said many other pleasant things
about YOUR han lSome company-it has
printed through courtesy to your noble
captain letters and notices to your praise
and for your organization. We have
done all Il is with fullneoS of good feel
ings and without the hope of reward We
have W,itten and written and written fol

4 wise WAY.

There is a man IN this town, and he i
wondrous wi>e, for when he mark ed his
prices down he then di advertise. And
when lie saw his trade increase with all
his might and main: he marked still lower
every price, and advertised again. And
when he advertised again his rivals
stamped and Swore, to see folks rush
with might and main to patronjze his
store. And willie they sat in solitude
and saw him custom win, that man be-
hind the counter stood and raked the
shekelS in. And when he raked the
ShekelI in and saw his fortune rising, he
took goodlY lot of tin and kept en- ad-
vertising. Each day a generous sum he'd
sink, end demonstrate full plain, the
