narrow and professional. AMI declines

natura. reaction from Saturdays ad-
vance The supply Of stocks continued
very limited. holders apparently beng
content to hold their property for better

People are prone now -a-days to take
| advantage of cheap rates On the trains
and go to some large city situated near
their town and make their purchases
for their families, laboring under the
happy delusion that they are getting a
great deal for their money. This takes
away a large share of the trade from
our town merchants that rightfully be-
longs to them. 1t is our home mer-
chants, not the city merchants who help
pay taxes, and help support the churches
and help along materially any enter
prise that may be started for the bene-
nit of the town. Leave your money
with home merchants and we are salts
fed that in the end you will be better
pleased with the bargains you secure
from them than any you can obtain in
the city. Keep your money at home
and the town will become more pros
porous which will aid and benefit you
in the long run.
