JUST MENTION.

Regret il as some of the old timers
msy. the society of Lincoln is passing
out OF their hands into university cir
cles. A careful judgment shows that
during the past few years the largest.
choicest and what might be termed the
SWEETEST society events have, been given
by the university students. One hears
little of the parties Of the Patriarchs'
the Co,illion club and the Pleasant
Hours. 1t is now the Pershing Rifles
hon. the Juniors and Seniors prone
padee, the Pan Hellenic ball. or the vsri-
GUS fraternity parties that fill the society
columns OF the papers. Not only this,
but it is the university students who
turn out at the football games with the
tally-lo's and kensington parties. They
are the ones who form the theatre par
ties OF the present season. In word.
they are making all the social life Of the
CITY. And nothing proves it so much as
the dreariness OF the town when the stu
dents are out OF II
There are several reasons for this.
First, the university has grown into one

no longer sending their children east for
an education. and thus the best homes
in the city are thrown open to the uni
versity young people. And thus The
Few element is pushing out the old. The

THE HOME

There should be a united effor, on tne
part OF the merchants OF Laramie to keep
all trade OF the people O: Albany county
at home. Gradually the merchants OF
Denver. Omaha. Lincoln and Other ou,-
sid points have been cutting in upon In
retail trade Of this section, particularly
in the dry goods and clothing line. and
The Republican is OF tne opinion ina
II the proper showing 10 the people is
made by the merchants all this can be
changed. Some two years ago Il couple
Of slick-tongued fellows came here and
extended their trip through the North
park, selling upwards OF $4,000 worth
OF groceries Il provisions. Atterward
it was learned by their customers that
the orders could have beer filled in Lar
annie for 10 per cent less.
Subsequently a stove company sent
its agents through this section selling
ranges, and thousands OF dollars worth
OF their product was disposed o, in Lar
annie and vicinity for prices which could
have been shaded by local dealers, and
they could probably have furnished a SUI
perior article to their customers.
Just at the present time a large con
signment Of buggies and wagons is being
worked of upon the trade OF this county
in the face of the statement by local
dealers that they can sell a better grade
Of vehicles for less money.
All OF these outside dealers demand
hard cash or good notes, which is The
equivalent Of cash. They do nothing
toward building up the city or county.
They have none OF the responsibilities
there is no reason why they should be
~patronized by our home people. 1t can
be accounted for in only one way. They
present their goods and prices to the
people in an attractive way through
their selling agents and through their
advertising matter, and the people are
taken with their propositions, not know
ing for the time that their home dealers
can do better by them than the outsid-
ers. How many of the merchants OF
Laramie have advertised their wares in
the weekly papers which circulate over
Albany county and through the North
park? Very few OF them consider it
necessary to even state that a new stock
OF goods has been opened up to the local
buyers Of the Gem City, and a price is
seldom quoted. Every day citizens Of
Laramie receive from abroad Denver pa
pers, Omaha papers. Chicago papers, and
others, presenting in the most attractive
form price lists that cause the good
housewife and the economical husband
to wonder IL rhey cannot save a dollar
by sending away for their goods. Every
day attractive circulars and even sam
pies OF goods are received from eastern
dry goods and clothing houses present.
ing to The people OF Laramie and Albany
county something nice as a feared at
bottom figures.
Many thousands Of dollars annually are
sent abroad which should be spent in
the Gem City and the merchants them
selves are in a measure to blame for it.
The remedy lies in thorough o~rganiza-
ton and a proper presentation OF the
facts to the people.
