The Calhoun county citizen who
goes out Of town to buy his goods does
his home merchant an injustice. Some
claim they can save so much money.
This is only delusion. You might
save thirty cents on a ten dollar pur.
chase by going to Spencer, but if a
man would try to hire you to work
the time it takes you to go to Spencer
for thirty cents, you would spit in his
face, and rightfully so. AS to prices
in this town, G.. s. Smith is possibly
the oldest merchant in the county and
has always had a nice trade, and we
have never heard of him being accus.
ed of being worth more than two or
three million dollars. But TO the
point; We are for home first, last and
all the time. While you are support
ing a paper away from home yon are
supporting n paper that will write
you up in the most comic form if you
be little green or get little drunk.
