Tuesday we received letter from
a lcoprrstown merchant inclosing
us an advertisement to be run in The
Tribune. He offered us good pay.
and to allow us to use our own judg-
ment with regard to position. 1t was
great temptation, but the ad. does
not appear, for the reason that to
ran it would be contrary to the
policy of this paper. We do not
care to advertise tor the merchants
of the neighboring town We are
here 10 assist our local merchants,
and Just as long as they treat us fair
Iy, We will refuse to advertise the
people 10 so elsewhere TO do their
! trading. The gentleman sending the
the ad. is perhaps the most succcss-
full Of Compassionate merchants, and
he partly owes his success to judi
. cious advertising. We admire his
: business energy, but will nave % &c
