The editor can always write more cheer
fully of the business interests of town
when his columns are literally filed with
the advertisements OF the business houses.
No editor can advocate the doctrine of
buying from home merchants unless the
home merchants show they are interested
in catering to the home trade by adver-
Using il the columns OF the local paper.
1t is depressing to the editor to find bus>
mess men patronizing every advertising
fake that comes along, and at the same
time the names of those business men are
rarely, if ever, seen in the advertising col>
umns of the local newspaper-St Angus

a good corn crop in this section and ale

bring over thirty cents a bushel in this
market.-Roswell Banner. Well, it is
better to have corn to sell at thirty cents
