The Country Editor.

Much has been said and much has
been written about the indefatigable
country editor. Let il be said to his
honor and glory that he Is an invaluable
quantity. There radiates an influence
from his teachings that reaches farther
than he knows.
He is king, enthroned.
II he be good king, with broad and
generous mind-and he generally is-the
power that he wields in the community
will live long after he has written his
last 49," his form has been "locked"
and "carted" to the silent "bed.'
He is tributary OF pure and unvar
nished thought, that leads to the central
body OF the great metropolitan press.
Collectively, the country editors do
more to develop and advance the coun-
try than the great newspapers of the
cities of the land. A new camp opens, a
new colony invades an untracked coun-
try, new valley gives homes to the peo
ple--the country editor is there. He
generally starts a nine-column paper in
a six column town. He struggles and
tolls, writes his own copy, sets his own
type, runs the "Old Army himself and
carries his own papers TO the post
office, and thus starts the rifle that wild

sheet is "sent home" by a friend. The

colony increases and the country is de
veloped and made valuable part OF the

The country editor fills separate field

He tells of the little things, and it is
the little things that go 10 make mp the
great book OF useful knowledge. From
the plain reports in his paper the gov
ernment draws much OF its information
upon many important subjects.
Hats off to the country editor. He
is country" editor indeed-the country
is his sphere, his theme, his pridel-Den-

As a remedial agent buttermilk cannot

dissolves every sort OF earthly depoeites

a correspondent in an eastern town,
writing to his home paper, gives some
pointed facts about mail order houses
and how to lessen their trade, and how
some merchants may hold their custom
ems. Here is what he says.
III our home merchants would adver.
tise their goods properly the large supply
houses would find their trade falling of
in the country districts. The big depart
ment stores advertise and give prices on
every article, while the home merchant
il he adyertises at all seldom quotes
prices We like to read in our own home
paper the prices for which VIZ can buy
goods from our own home dealer. togeth-
er with a description of the goods so that
we may know what we can purchase
from our own home stores. The home
merchant, nine times in ten sells his
goods as cheap as the same grade OF
goods are sold by any OF the big supply
houses, but their customers don't know
it.. A merchant must not think that even
his best customers are so familiar with
his goods and prices that they know all
about it without being informed. We
can buy as cheap at home as we can any
where, and it is the merchants duty to
educate his customers to that belief.
Printers ink is the best business edu-
Gator. An average of about 800 a
month is sent away from this place to
mail order houses in distant cities for
supplies, the greater part Of which could
be bought at home as cheap"
