January first or soon there
after is good time to square up
with your editor. Don't wait for
him to ask you or write for your
small balance due. The editor
loves the man who walks up and
pays his subscription in advance.
1t is said that Russian fights
tor empire, a Turk for faith, a
Dutchman for pay, Spaniard for
jealousy, an Italian for revenge, a
German for home, Swiss for
liberty, a Frenchman for glory, a
Scotchman for kin, an Englishman
for trade, an Irishman for fun, a
Yankee for peace and fool for
nothing.
To secure long life all one needs
to do is to read some of the patent
medicine advertisements that ap-
pear in the newspapers. In North
Carolina we note a man who has
lived to be 115 years old, and at
tributes his life to Peruna. In
Montana another fellow has
inst passed his 109th milestone, and
lie pinned his faith to Duffy's Pure
Malt Whiskey. By combining
both Of these you can probably
live to be 223 years old, while if
you let all medicine and whiskey
alone you ought to live forever.
"A business man, whose duties
call him to the depot every day,
.saysit is surprising what a large
,amount of goods comes here from
the large mail order houses of the
critics. Our local merchants by a
little we'll directed effort could
greatly check this xodus of the
community's cash to the hungry
NAV of the great octopus. By keep
ing the catalogues of the big stores
right on their counters and advertis-
ing judiciously in newspaper and
catalogues, there is no reason why
our merchants can not compete
in prices, quality for quality. The
mail order stores may buy their
Goods cheaper, but they have
heavier expenses, and the Jones
who buys must pay the freight.
1t seems to us that the idea would
ne for our merchants to go directly
after them, and to give the COM
rnunity to clearly understand
through all their advertising that
they are directly after them.
