We cannot understand why Owosso busi-
ness men should patronize every advertis-
ing stake" which happens along. Most of
these schemes are so much money thrown
away. Put this money into your local
papers and reap many times the benefit. We
do not condemn patronizing home enter
prises, but to catch at every scheme offered
by strangers is certainly unwise.
The spelling contest between the ladies'

entire contest. Miss Maynard was the last
of the Corunna side TO go down, leaving
Mrs. Frank Clapp, of this city, the winner.
The contest may be repeated.
In settling with one of our patrons recently
we were given receipt bearing the imprint
of a printing house in another city. 1t may
be all right for merchants to send out of the
city for printing that could just as well bt
obtained in Owosso and at just as reasonable
price, but II one of the printers was to send
away to buy clothing, groceries, dry goods
or hardware there would be trouble right
away. The way to build up city is tC
patronize each other. The newspapers Of
Owosso are entitled to every dollars worth
of printing needed in the clty-not a jot
should be sent away or ordered of any jot
printer. Patronize the newspapers. We
hope our merchants and manufacturers will
think of this when they are solicited fol
work.
