A Pointer to Some Merchants.

Under the caption of Sending Off
for Goods, the Centreville Jeffersonian
contains the following, which ought to
interest merchants in every town in
the State:
Some of our people, like those in
other towns, have a habit of sending
off to catalogue houses for goods which
in a great many instances can be
bought at home as cheap, or nearly so,
as from the foreign house. This is
wrong. These houses that send out
their catalogues are not interested in
the least in our community; they pay
no taxes here, do not help to keep up
our churches or schools, but our home
merchants do, and they should have
the patronage of our people-at least,
the preference. We venture the as
sertion that there is enough money
sent away from here each year to build
a town hall or sink an artesian we'll.
Now, we do not believe our people
actually prefer sending their money
away rather than spending it here, but
the fact is that they do it. Then the
question arises, why do they do so?
We can best answer that by giving a
conversation that recently took place.
A gentleman walked down the street
with lately purchased article in his
hand. He met a merchant, who in
quired of him where he bought the
article. The response was: "In Chi
cago." The merchant looked rather
displeased, and said: II don't see
what you want to send money away
for. I have that for sale" The gen
tleman replied: swell didn't know
it; of course, l would have given you
the preference had known you car
ried this in stock"
Now, how did this gentleman find
out that the foreign house carried the
article in stockY The answer is very
plain: Because the foreign house adj
vertised the fact, while the home house
did not, and people will buy goods
that are advertised, some people to the
contrary view Notwithstanding
If our home merchants would as in
dustriously advertise their goods as
these catalogue houses do, you would
hear very little complaint about money
being sent away from home.

accident north of Goodman last Wed

wrong with the movement of his train,
he climbed to the top of the car to as
certain the cause, when. the train
having become separated and the rear
portion crashing into the fore part. he
was thrown to the ground, his leg
broken and severe bruises sustained.

We have the highest regard for the
medical profession. Our preparations
are not sold for the purpose of antagon-
izing them, but rather as an aid. We
lay it down as an established truth that
internal remedies are positively injuri-
GUS to expectant mothers. The distress
and discomforts experienced during the
months preceding childbirth can be al
leviated only by external treatment-by
applying liniment that softens and re-
lakes the over-strained muscles. We
make and sell such a liniment, com
bining the ingredients in a manner
hitherto unknown, and call it

We know that in thousands of cases
IT has proved more than a blessing to
eXpectant mothers. 1t overcomes morn
ing sickness. 1t relieves the sense of
tightness. Headaches cease, and dan
ger from Swollen, Hard and Rising
Breasts is avoided. Labor itself is
shortened and shorn of most of the pain.
We know that many doctors recon-
mend it. and we know that multitudes
of women go to the drug stores and buy
1t because they are sure their physicians
have no objections. We ask a trial
just fair test. There is no possible
chance of injury being the result, be-
cause Mothers Friend is scientific
ally compounded. 1t is sold at 81 bot

the period of CESSATION, although great
relief is experienced if used only short
time before childbirth. Send for our IL

T.ahsaarc

rho Most Popular Jockey In America an
England Recommends Stuart's Dyspepsi
1abseets.
No jockey has ever appealed so
strongly to public favor as Tod
Sloan.
He has achieved more than his
most noted predecessors ever at
tempted and stands in a class by
himself.
Not satisfied with his success in
his native country, he went to
England and now his fame as a sue
cessful horseman is on the tip of
every tongue not only in this
country and England but in every
section Of the whole globe where
racing has found favor.
When Tod first went to Eng
land his temerity was openly
laughed at but the little American
played skittles with his English
rivals and his victories made all
England gasp.
Having the stamp Of royil ap-
proval, society both at home and
abroad "lionized" him and he is
feted and petted to an extent that
would turn an ordinary mortals
head.
The great jockey was in such de-
mand socially and dined and win
ed to such an extent that it was
feared his health would give way.
Too much society and the nervous
cfroin IF ,oaip o. to1d on biro
A two weeks trip to America
made him acquainted with Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets and their re-
markably restorative effects on a
depleted digestive apparatus and he
recommended them in unstinted
terms to a friend, saying "Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets are the best
thing | know Of for keeping the
stomach in condition and appetite
in good repair"
Thousands of former dyspep-
tics can vouch for the truth of Tod
Sloan's words, as "Stuart's Dyspep-
STA Tablets" have become a house
hold word in America, and few
families are without them. One
or two taken after meals keep the
stomach sweet by causing prompt
and healthy digestion Of the food.
Perfectly healthy people use them
after heavy dinners to keep their
good health and to make sure that
no i'll effects will follow an unus-
ually hearty meal.
Your druggist will tell you OF
your doctor either that Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets are composed
only of digestive ferments, AS
ceptic Pepsin, H~ydrastis, fruit ac-
ids, ETC., and for the strong sto-
mach as we'll as the most delicate
constitute a safeguard against in
digestion and stomach troubles.

The colored voters who have formed
an Afro-American political club for the
purpose of fostering independent vot-
ing, deserve to be commended for their
good Judgment. AS long az they can
be relied upon to support a party with
out being given an opportunity to share
in the spoils of victory they may de-
pend upon it no such recognition will
be ,given them. Besides, the colored
man is becoming educated to see that
principles effect him more and have a
greater claim upon his suffrage than a
party which essays to hoodwink him
with a name that has no significance in
practical results.
