Christmas and New Years Greeting

To our friends and customers of
Adair county and the city of
KlrksyilIe: We have been in
your midst as citizens three years
end heve tried to be as ODE diens to
the laws and usages of your coun-
~ and city as possible, We have
tried to be enterprislng in all our
undertakings, ana il our business
relations with our customers we
have tried to act fairly and square
ly in ell transactions, whether
small or large. We believe we
have been the means of bringing
cash market on all kinds OF pro-
duce. When we came to Kinks
vile there was not a grocer that
paid cash for produce of cry kind
and now number of them adver-
tise that they will pay cash for
produce, and they do so. But
who did it first? We do not offer
any extra Inducements to custom
ers 10 take trade for their pro-
duce, nor do we believe this Is
right. We do believe one pound
of butter is worth zoe. in cash, one
dollars worth of our goods is
worth 100 cents, and hence we
have fought the idea all along OF
offering 2 or 3 cents per pound
more for an article taken in trade.
| Our motto has been to give dol
lars worth OF groceries for LOO
cents, and to give 100 cents IL
cash for one dollars worth OF pro-
duce. Now, we are truly grateful
at The end OF three Years Of bust
ness in your community for the
liberal patronage extended to us.
Our associations have been very
pleasant and our business very
successful, and whether we remain
in your midst longer or not, we
will always feel we have been no
detriment to your community,
having existed in 1t for three very
pleasant years, and wherever our
lot is cast, he it IN kirksvilIe or
elsewhere, it is With a great
amount OF satisfaction We look
back over our business career OF
three years, and realize we have
many true and warm friends in
this vicinity, and may God pros
per this community much greater
| in the future than He has in the
past. To our many customers we
! will say, we have bonanza for
you after January l, 1898, that
you have never had in kirksville
| to our knowledge. We have adj
vertised an important change in
our business at that time. What
that change is to be will be pri,
yate until February l. 1898. 1t is
sufficient fer the public to judge
when you see our ad and price;
after January l, 1893. We ex
tend to- all our customers anc
friends our heartfelt thanks fol
Kind patronage, and q continuance
Of same as long as in your com
} munlty, whether it be long o
short, is kindly requested. VI
wish one and all A Merry Christ
mas and A Happy New Year TO
l1993. Respectfully yours,
SIGLER Bros.

There is no denying the fact that a
considerable number OF people
throughout the country, not connect
ed with the railways, favor the con-
troll of the railroads by the govern
ment, and it is just certain that this
sentiment is largely the result of
strikes, lOckOuts and other forms of
conflict between the managers and
the men in the railway service. and
unless something is done to stop these
haraSSing and costly occurrences, the
sentiment will grow and spread until
it makes itself felt in the action of
the gOyernment.-WichitG Eagle.
So long as railway managers strive
to make their roads pay good divi-

There will soon be large quantities
OF surplus wheat straw in Kansas and
Missouri. Why didn't the Peoples
party convention demand that the
government coin this straw into legal
tender dollars?
The above brilliant paragraph ema-
mates from the editorial columns of
the Kansas City Journal. A paper Of
the accredited dignity enjoyed by
by the Journal which would permit
such slush as the above to appear in
its columns ought to come down from
its lofty perch: The boy who wrote
that ought to be treated by the JoHr-
nal company to a nickel's worth OF
candy. If We had a devil" in our eS-

The EmpOria Gazette thinks tile shy
locks have playeda mean trick,oo the
calamityites by raising a big wheat
crop and paying three dollars. day
to harvest Wichita Eagle.
ltisaremarkable piece OF blasthemy
the Republican, party would like to
play on the people just now i'm claim
ing credit for the. e.bOuntiful haayests.
Having the gall to make such, claims,
consistency would demand their
shouldering the responsibility Of the
drouths also, but they kick like bay
steer when any one squints that way.
To thoughtful man, the bsantiful
crops, for which we are under Obliga-
tions to God, are'Only aniexempliflca-
tion Of the faults Of government.
God has done his part, but man has
failed. With such plenty produced
all mankind ought to be happy and
would be happy were it properly dis
tributed; but the trouble is there is
a class Of menOpOlistic hogs who man
age to absorb the entire surplus each
year and add it annually TO their
bank account. They do not produce
anything themselves from one years
end to another, but spend their leis-
ure cOnniVing and planning to steal
the surplus from those who do labor
and produce. 1t matters not whether
much or little farm products is har-
vested. The farmer Is rule has
only his living left and the consumer
has to pay his extravagant tribute to
the ''hOgs" just the same. There is a
point in this which will survive all
the confusion Republican orators and
newspapers can make out Of the big
harvests. Always hear in mind that
we are under obligations to God and
not to the Republican party for good
seasons and the only thing the Repub-
lican party is responsible for is lackof
a fair profit for your industry.
