TOTE GENTLEMEN.


It has been the policy Of thus
paper ever since It's existence, and
especially under the management
of the present editor, TO do aud
say everything IL possibly could for
the advancement of the better in
terests of the town. And in dong
this we have tired to be jealous of
the interest of the business men, As
well as of every enterprise that
has Deen opened up looking to the
improvement of the town.
Time and again have we SPOKEN
out our opinions plainly, even to
the ladies'. as to what We consider
their duty in patronlzing the bust
ness men of the town IN making
their small purchases. We have
condemned the practice that many
of the ladies have fallen into OF
sending away dollar now and a
dollar then to New York. Boston,
Chicago, and elsewhere to buy
what they could either get right
here at home or could order
through home merchant. We
have been jealous, we say, OF the
interest of cur business mon. AND
we repeat it all here and now, and
declare our opinion that it is the
duty of the people to patronlze
home people whenever 1t will do
as well, and sometimes when it
will not do as well; for the home
people, the business men OF the
town, pay taxes for the support OF
the town and help keep up the
schools and churches, and they
are entitled to the patronage OF
their home people. Whatever We
buy we ought to buy from our
home people; and THE DEMOCRAT
has been earnest all the while in
urging this upon its home readers,
and every single man and woman
in the town who has read the pa
per knows it.
Now the plea for fair plaT: No
one but the editor knows Of the
struggles this paper has had to
maintain it's independence and
