hunt without meat.
Mr.. Henry Faison, of The Ell
terprising firm Of J. \. Strick-

We regret exceedingly to see SO
many of our boys leave the
State, but when they can't get
employment in it we admire
their pluck in going abroad. If
a merchant needs a salesman,
nine times out of ten he will
send to another town for him
before he will employ one OF
the town hoys. If a school prin-
cipal wants an assistant teacher
he must be imported or he is "nu
good" when there are plenty of
teachers right at home who are
as competent as the "imported''
and very often more so. We
wonder if DR.. Grissom's success
sor will not hail fromMaine OF
New Hampshire ? Employers
this is decidedly wrong. if you
have any State pride show i,
by trying to support YOU own
State before you do others.
We need q first class '.racke t

enterprjsing man start up one?
1t would pay handsomely.
