An exchange rises to remark:
1.-THE editor can always write more
cheerfully of the business interests of
a town when his columns are liberal
ly filled 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 ad-
vertising in the columns of a local
newspaper. 1t is depressing to the
editor to find business 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 columns
of the local newspaper" All of which
is quite true.
