slow-coach credit, That is the worst

Slow-coach credit That is the worst
affiiction Of many country communities.
In regard to this, we quote the follow
ing: "No merchant can sell cheap on
the slow coach credit plan. The dollar
invested in goods today and sold for
cash tomorrow can be invested in more
goods the following day, and the same
process of sale may be repeated but the
dollar invested in goods today and sold
on credit tomorrow is tied up, and its
earning capacity stopped just so long as
you don't get it back. Plank your money
down when you order the goods, and
your merchant will meet each and every
price the catalogue house makes, and
furnish you the same goods at the same
price they offer you"

the only marked difference being that
the clerks Of such primary elections

The voter must declare which party he
intends to vote with at the next general
election and be registered, when he will

then vote by making cross opposite che
name of each candidate he wishes nom

more than one county shall pay $50 TO
the secretary Of state, and those to be
voted for in but one county must pay $40
to the county clerk before their names
can go upon the ballot. This money
will doubtless pay the extra expense in
