.rues1ny morning, at 1880 o'clocl
g pretty home wedding occurred q
the homo Mr.. and Mrs, John Storme,
On Elm street, when their daughter
Mary A. was made the wife Of
Harley E. Chatter. Only but twenty
guests, relatives and nearest friends
were present, and the affair was
very informal and consequently en-
joyable. To the strains Of Lohengrins
wedding march played BY Miss g
Katherine Harms, the bride and
gro I'm took their, places within y
canopied green bower of asparagus
fearns and smilax studded with
lavender and white asters. Asters
in profusion formed the other
parlsr decorations. The bride was
lovely in white Persian lawn and
carried bride roses. The ceremony
performed by tho brides pastor,
D. =. Thomas, unusually beautiful
and impressive. After congrakula-
tions and good wishes, all repaired
to the dining room where an ex-
cellent and elaborate wedding
breakfast was served. The dining
room decorations were pink and
white carnations. Amid showers Of
rice the happy couple were driven,
apparently to the depot: but in
reality to Peoria, where they took
the train for Colorado and Utah,
where they will visit Mr.. Chaffer's
parents and brothers and sisters.
The bride was born and reared in
Washington and hes been very pro-
minent in musical. and church
circles. She graduated from the
high school AID for the last four
years has been a successful teacher
in the schools. The groom was born
in Washington.but moved with his
parents to Colorado before reaching
maturity. Several years ago he re-
turned and became the junior NOM
ber of the hardware firm of CHATTER
and Bishop where he has proven
himself successful business man.
Among the handsome and costly
presents received, was a set of
sterling knives and forks, butter
knife and sugar spoon, given as q
slight memento Of Miss Stormer's
faithful work since girlhood mem.

the careful consideration of our
local merchants. One has only to
pick up the county papers, especially
those published in the village Of
this county and vicinity and glance
over the large amount Of advertis-
ing space taken by their merchants
to determine, why much of the
trade does not come to Mankato
and the cities where so little
.tention is paid to newspaper ad-
vertisnig. That tho farmer and the
members of his family read the ad-
vertisemens in their local papers
there is no doubt, and furthermore,
they take advantage Of the bargains
offered and special sales an nounced.
Since the establishment OF the
rural routes we have seen instances
where farmers have subscribed for
the Daily Review in order that they
and their families might keep posted
and take advantage of special sales
and bargains announced in the add
vert,se ments Of two or three of
our regular patrons.
Legitimate newspaper advertis-
ing pays, and now days a mer-
chant cannot carry on successful
business without it. Every branch
of the mercantile trade in commun-
ity ought to be literally represent
ed in the advertising columns Of
it's newspapers and the business Of
the entire city will profit by It. In
the present agitation regarding
Nankato's trade has any one
stopped to consider that liberal
advertising is strong factor in
holding and drawing new trade to
the city9 Just think it over-Man-
kato Review.

HOW 10 DRAW TRADE.

HOW 10 DRAW TRADE.
With the establishment of the rural
,outes the opportunities for the in
telligent advertiser are greater than
ever before, says the F'aribault
Journal, in strong article on this
subject. The farmer gets his mail
regularly and all the members Of
the family read more every. day.
Many Of them set daily paper, and
the rapid growth of the mail order
business of the city department
stores in conclusive evidence that
the farmers and farmers wives read
tho advertisements as we'll as the
news in those daily papers. These
stores spend great deal Of money
and, what is Of even more account,
q great deal Of brains, in their ad-
vertising and it pays.
Yet there is no good reason why
this should injure the business Of
the local newfoundland it does not
when he adapts himself to the
changed conditions. In every local
newspaper Of respectable circulation
the local dealer has a medium for
reaching these same people, who
send mail orders to the cities-a
medium far more thorough and efec-
tive than the daily news papers. A
few years ago the local merchant
found his sole competition in the
stores similar to his own or neigh
boring villages, but they are fast
learning the advantages of legiti-
mate, Cooperation in their own
field, and that their most formida BILE
competitors are the large city de-
partment stores and supply houses
!, And this competition must be met
squarely and intelligently The peo-
ole must be shown that their local
merchants can give the ga ne values
for their money as the large city
stores. And they nave to be shown
this repeatedly, week after week.
If an article can be sold ut a profit
for less this year than last, and the
city store SO advertises it, the local
dealer will probably lose the sale OF
that particular item and perhaps
others if he dose not keep in close
touch with them through the COL
umns of his local newspapers.
I There is great deal of truth in
the above and we recommend it to

judging from the interest mani
tested in many of the counties of the
State, South Carolina is waking up on
the subject Of good .oais. It is time,
for she certainly needs better high
ways. A system of good, we'll
kept roads is of great valuo to the
cities and country and would be o
good investment to the business man
and farmer alike. OF course good
turnpikes may be out Of the question
just now, but We can have good dirt
roads. These would be worth more
than few bushels OF corn or half
bale of cotton to the acre; it would
bring easy transportation Of produce
bought and sold, and would make it
desirable to live in the country and
would cause the landlord to take more
pride in the surroundings of tn" coun.
try home. Good roadways arc harbin-
gers of farm improvements and the
increase Of the value Of farm lands.
Money invested to building of roads
is never lost and is paying invest.

William Randolph Hearst informed
President Roosevelt by open letter
that he had petitioned tho Attorney
General for permission to supply the
latter with documentary evidence of
the existence of the Coal Trust, in or.
der that he, MIR. Knox, might be ena-
Dled to proceed against it for its dis
days subsequently Mr.. Hearst was for
Dially requested by Mr. Knox to sub
NIT his proofs to United States Attor-
ney Burnett for the Southern District
OF New York, who would report there
on to the Department of Justice.
Mr. Hearst placed Geleral Burnett
IN possession Of evidence which estab-
Ilshed the facts that the coal carrying
railroads are in illegal combination for
ing. for the arbitrary regulation of
supply. and the fixing Of prices.
When this inquiry is ended, the peo-
pie of the United States will have
been made 30 thoroughly familiar with
the devices of the Coal Trust and their
nnlawfulDess that legal action should
be taken for it's dissolution.
Mr.. Bacr and his parceners in coal
motnopony mon. IS;as, are not engaged in legiti-
nal conspiracy. Therefore the law
should deal with them for the protec-
tiOn OF the robbed public.
IT the coal trust is not then prOsecu-
ted by this administration, we will
know how empty are its professions of
hostility to the combined monOpolies
of the country.
Who has read any comment on the
comparative smallness Of tho Steel
Trusts taxes' Its report shows that it
paid taxes to the amount of So, ,307. .465
in 1902. This is less than 9 per cent.
OF it's net earnings and less than mills
on the dollar of tho value of it's pro-
perty, according to its capital and
sworn statement Of its president. Is
there amy sound reason why this pro-
tected billion dollar trust should pay
ia taxes 1e cents on every 500 when
the unprotected common people pay SO
or So on every 500 worth Of property.
1t is probable that this trust PAYS
less than 81 900, 900 Of taxes on it's iron
and steel lands, valued at over $780,
100000. This is less than one mill on
the dollar. The taxes on ordinary
farm lands worth S1,00O,00O,00O are
about $15, 100000.

An unknown exchange fires tho fol-
lowing at the kickers: "If there was
an ice cold lemonade spring on every
village garden, if bread grew on sun
flower stalks and every blade of grass
was tipped with $40 bills, certain
class of cranks would kick because
there were no sticks in the lemonade,
no butter on the bread, and because
the grass did not produce 800 instead
of $40 on the blades.

An intelligent gentleman who has
recently visited many homes in An
derson County remarked in our hear
ing few days ago that he was agree
ably surprised to find 80 many good
books in nearly all Of them, and in
some of the homes the children had
read them very closely, as they could
discuss the subjects of the various
authors very intelligently. This leads
US to say that it is the duty of every
man, especially If he is the head of q
family, to procure books and make an
effort to acquire library, even if it is
small. The number of volumes may
be few at first, but by procuring one
now and again, in three or four years
he will be surprised to see he has
small sibrary. It is not only duty
he owes TO himself and his children, !,
but one he is indebted to the country.
His children should read, think and
study. If they do not, they will be
clogs in the machinery that civilizes
the nation. To be useful citizens,
they should be intelligent. 1t is not
the great number Of books, in the pom
derous volumes and heavily-loaded
shelves that solid, substantial infor-
maticn may bo acquired-information
that will be lasting aud 60 to che welfare
Of mankind; it is in selecting the kind
of books, which will eventually bear
good fruit that every man, should aim
Bad books do no good, and very often
great injury. A few standard books
Of science, history, biography, poetr,
aud Literature, Il gathered with care,

lated hapshazard, the only purpose
being to say YOU have q library.
