Buy At Home.

Gentle reader, won't you stop and
ponder over the fact that it is to your
interest to buy your goods right here in
Paris, instead of going out of town.
The home merchants are here to do
business aud as they deal strictly with
our people, it is due them that they re-
ceive the patronage of the home trade,
especially when they are in a position to
compete in quality and price with foreign
concerns.
Our merchants have all brought on
large stocks Of Christmas goods and are
in position to compete with foreign
concerns. And then. you can save your
car fare. besides other incidental ex-
penses, that necessarily come up, when
you go out of town.
1t is all mistake about your getting
goods cheaper somewhere else. You
can do just well right here in Paris as
anywhere. Stick to the home merchant.
Buy your goods where you interests lie.
Help those that help you, and we will
have more prosperous town.
Here in Paris may be found the very
best of everything that can be bought.
Our merchants are progressive and you
have the satisfaction of knowing that if
what you buy from them is not just as
represented, they will make your pur-
chase good. You lose nothing by buy
ing at home.
Don't be deceived by the idea that the
foreign concerns are giving things away.
That is mistake You can do better
right here at home than elsewhere.

LEHICH VALLEY DOCK
"A" WORKING FULL TIME
Dock B is Not Yet Fully Repaired
Men Working Every 9th
er Day.

The Lehigh Valley dock A is being
worked full time every day, twelve
hours. The men from B dock alter
nate with the men from A dock. This
makes the men work every other day.
A dock is being worked very much
lately. There is o large amount of
coal in the stock yards and lot in
South Plainfield. Much of this is
now being shipped. A number OF
Bee Line barges are lying idle at B
dock awaiting orders.
Since the B dock shut down on the
1st of August, the dock working has
only been used two nights. 1t is very
likely that it willsbe three weeks be-
fore the B dock, which has just been
repaired, will start, as the repairs are
not yet completed. The rails have
not been laid on b dock yet but it is
likely they will be soon. A delay
was caused by the frogs not arriving.
They are now on hand but it will be
the end of the month before the dock
is ready for work.

EXPLOSIVE WORRIES
THE RAILROAD MEN
Effort Made to Ship 200 Pounds Of Nitro Gycerine
Over the Central Railroad is Held up and the
Explosive is Still at the Station---Men Walk
Carefully While at Work.

Yesterday afternoon the authorities
at the Central Freight station notified
Officer Wood that there was a large
amount of nitro-glycerine at their
office and they feared an accident if
it was not removed at once. The
police cannot act upon the matter as
Chief Burke says that as anything
affecting the lives or safety of the
people from an agency which is not
human, comes under the Board of
Health's jurisdiction and that as a
menace they should take steps to re-
move it. DR.. W. E. Ramsay says the
matter does not affect the Board OF
Health. Who is to dispose of the
matter, furnished food for much
thought.
There are four cases of the nitro
glycerine, fifty pounds each. This
makes total of 200 pounds of an ex-
plosive ten times as powerful as
dynamite and three quarters of a
pound of dynamite will blow up three
tons of solid rock. What will happen
if it goes off is worrying the officials
of the freight station.
John H. Gregory had the stuff taken
to the station Monday. He had sold
1t to a New York man and wanted it
shipped by freight The boxes have
each little printing on an end tell
ing the nature of the contents. When
the freight men read these notices
they held Ethe packages until word
could be received from the General
Traffic Agent at Jersey City. They
consented to hold the stuff until ad
vice was received from headquarters.
Headquarters refused to have the
explosive taken over the road. Mr.
Gregory was notified and requested to
remove it. He refused, saying he had
sold it to another man. This morn
ing Mr. Gregory went to New York.
1t is thought he may have gone to
untangle things. Just how long the
stuff will stay at the Central station
is worrying the men there. If that
two hundred pounds comes in violent
contact with something else, Perth
Amboy will think that the dynamite
boat Vesuvius had thrown one of her
projectiles into the city. Nitro is
queer stuff. Unconfined 1t will burn
without causing any more mischief
than so much paper, but put it in a
tight can and strike it hard enough
and there will be trouble.
