cure the land for u.s." remarked Mr.
Jones with an air of satisfaction. "They
can arrange real estate deal if any
one can. They always have desirable
city properties, as well as long list
of farms on their books, and can usually
accommodate any applicant who wants
to rent, or to buy, sell or exchange. They
will arrange you loan, pay your taxes,
collect your rents, or take charge of ten

81 have noticed a somewhat general
belief among my young lady friends,
said Miss Makepeace Cheviot, the fash
ionable dressmaker, and member of the
church choir, 'that the fact of having a
photograph made in large city en-
hances it's artistic value, and adds to the
social prestige of the sitter. According
to my ideas this is phase of human
weakness that should be promptly dis

North Front street, is right up to date in
all the latest effects to be secured in per-

are less for high class work than is
charged in larger cities.'
Banking by Mall" is an alluring
phrase" said Joseph Hustler, "but how
about little accommodation when the
necessities of business demand it? Is
it your home bankers or the distant city
bankers that take care of you when you
want few hundred dollars for short
time in order to close a. deal? The
Banking by Mall concerns are all willing
to take care of your money, but when
you want to use any of theirs, that is

'The principle of home trade is one
that underlies the successful growth and
progress of any community" re-affirmed
Hon. Thomas Jones. 'When | want a
nice made to-measure suit of clothes, I

said Parson Goodman, ''induces me to
take this opportunity to remind our peo-
pie that it is no longer necessary to send
away from home for flowers for any
purpose, or at any season. Neil Nielsen,
of the Mankato greenhouse,
has fine stock of flowers and Towering
plants, and sells them at very moderate
prices. His rose and carnation beds are
a beautiful sight these days, and for the
coming holiday season he will be ready
to meet all demands for all kinds of
flowers. He supplies floral emblems for
and decorative floral designs for
any purpose desired. His enterprise is a
credit to the town, and our people should
appreciate it by giving Mr.. Nielsen a
liberal patronage. The green houses are
at the corner of State and Marshall
streets. Citizens phone, ESQ; North

"In most cases." continued the Hon.
Thomas Jones, "it is thoughtlessness
that leads people into seeming forgetful-
ness of home enterprises. Merchants
who should, of all others APP
preciate strict observance of loyalty,
sometimes stray after false gods. They
use foreign printed stationery, oblivious
to the fact that they can do just as well
right at home. Take for instance, the
