down To Vinton on the dummy dur
ing the week and at the terminus of
the lice he was met by real estate
agent. who took him for a stranger
and capitalist. He tried TO sell him
a lot. and in the course of the CONVEX
sation the agent mentioned, in n con
tidential way, that Ninton was the
heaIthiest town in the country. My
dear sir" he said Just look ut me if
you want to see an example of the
healthfulness Of Viuton. Two months
ago | was living in Roanoke, and since
I've moved here I've gained twenty
pounds l tel! you, sir, Roanoke's an
unhealthy place. If you want to live
long and be happy, just buy a lot here
in Ninton and live here. If you live
in Roanoke you'll be sure and catch

1t is just such trash rs this that is
dinned into the ears of every pros
pective investor in many of the towns
throughout the Southwest. The
agents do not seem to appreciate the
fact that every sensible man will
think much less of him for trying TO
iniure another place for the sake of
building up his own home. He does
not give the purchaser credit for har-

Gard from j. B. Brown to the Public


AS there seems to be some misunderstanding
about the object Of the Merchants Mutual
Protective Union wish to make public the
following: The Merchants Mutual Protective
Union is not organization to blackguard,
buildoze, or intimidate persons who owe bills,
but to protect its members against those who
can but will not pay. If persons fail to make
satisfactory settlement with the member they
owe after having been notified, that is their
fault, not the members, and they have no right
to complain if their name is put on record as
person unworthy of credit. l propose to pro-
tect our members, and will place on record the
names OF persons reported to me as not paying
their bills, and furnish copy of the record to
all members, that they may know to whom
credit should be refused. None but dishonest
persons will take offense at receiving notice of
their obligation to member of this Union.
We would advise debtors to act promptly on
receipt Of first notice. Very respectfully,
