of that weakening cough and debflitat-

A correspondent at Irvington, ILL.,.
writing to his home paper, the Ashley
Gazette, gives some pointed facts
about mail order houses and how 10
lessen their trade, and how some mer-
chants may hold their customers. Here
is what he says:
If our home merchants would adj
vertise their goods properly the large
supply houses would find their trade
falling off in the country districts.
The big department stores advertise
and give prices on every article, while
the home merchant if he advertises at
all, seldom quotes prices. We like to
read in our home papers the prices for
which we can buy goods from our
home dealer. together with a descrip-
ton of the goods so that we may know
what we can purchase from our home
stores The home merchant, nine
times in ten. sells his goods as cheap
ms the same grade of goods are sold
by any of the big supply houses, but
their customers don't know it, A mer-
chant must not think that even his
best customers are so familiar with
his goods and prices that he knows
all about it without being informed.
We can buy as cheap at home as we
can anywhere, and it is the merchants
duty to educate his customers to that
belief. Printers ink is the great bust
ness educator. An average of about
$500 per month is sent away from
IrvingtOn to mail order houses in dis
tant cities for supplies the greater
part of which could be bought at home
as cheap.

THE HORSE AND COLT SHOW
:. b. WHITING,
Acting Secretar.

The Clarke County Horse and
Colt Show of last week was I'M
dOubtedly the most successful in
the history of the Association. This
success is deserved, and is due to
the modern methods and up-to-date
ideas which have been and are
being employed by the officers of
the Association. Especially is con-
graduation and commentator due
to President r. Powell Page, Secre-
tary Charles NJ. Broun, and Mana
ger j. w. Vorous, for these three
gentlemen have worked faithfully
for the Association and its success.
The new grand stand and private
boxes added much to the pleasure
of all in attendance. The new box
stalls were a delight to the exhibit
tors. And the condition of the
show ring was commented upon
favorably by all.
To the officers of the Association
we want to say that more box stalls
should be added for exhibitors: and
some provision should be made for
the accommodation of newspaper
reporters and correspondents.
Eightnewspapers were represent
ed at the show of last week, and
they were only saved from utter
failure by the courtesy of the Asso-
citation officials in allowing them to
occupy the Judges stand. A small
corner of the Judges Stand
should, we think, be turned over
for the exclusive use of newspaper
folks, as the failure to get a report
to the telegraph Office often means
that it will be too late for publica-
ton.
