And as the kreeling vagabond ut

prayed for the villain who had so
wronged him, the preacher we had
thought the embodiment of almost
heavenly virtues silently passed into

Discouragemen,s for Merchants.

A groceryman OF Reynoldsville said
to editor Of THE STAR one day last
week: "Merchants have a good many
discouraging things TO contend with.
We pay taxes, help support the schools
and churches, and help 10 support the
town in various ways, are called upon
for aid when people are In need, are ex-
pected to contribute literally when
there is celebration, reunion or any
thing special going on, and yet some Of
the very people who expect us to con-
tribute to these things, buy most all, II
not all, their groceries out OF town, and
in the long run pay as much as they
would at home for the same goods.
They help merchants OF other towns
who do not spend any money In
our town, unless 1t is for an occasional
dinner and horse feed while In town de-
livering goods. During a strike since
! have been In business at Reynolds
vile the grocerymen contributed cash
TO support strikers and in some cases
the money was sent out OF town to buy
groceries"
1t is real fact that too many Of our
people patronize merchants OF other
towns when they should patronize
home merchants and by SO doing help
build up the town they live in. A
good way to kill town Is not to sup
port its business men. When we have
just as good stores In Reynoldsville as
can be found In neighboring towns, our
merchants sell at as small profit as
other merchants, and the town would be
no good II we did not have merchants,
is IL reasonable that our people should
order new dresses, &C., by mail or buy
groceries from out OF town firms who
send solicitors around to take orders?
just stop, for minute, and suppose
you were engaged In business In Reyn-
oldsville and the people would send out
of town to buy goods that you handled,
How mad would you get about 1t? II
our merchants were exhorbitant In
prices and handled poor grade OF
goods 1t would be different. But that
is not the case.
