there are no more reasonable prices. The
surrounding country realizes that fact
And the field Of customers at the Barre
stores is constantly widening. Every
day in the year purchasers are coming

ing their trading in other cities and
towns. These people are being reached
by the report of other buyers and BY
judicious advertising. The channels OF
trade are being constantly directed this
way. All Of which is very gratifying to
the local merchants who are pleased that
their progressiyeness is appreciated; for
Progressiveness does not come without
an effort. One cannot rest on his oars
and dwell in the spirit Of progress. One
is not swept onward in the tide of bus
mess success without putting out an ef-
fort. At this season Of the year, the
holiday period, the grooming counters,
the gayly decorated windows and the
general activity are proofs that the
Barre merchants are progressive. They
will be repaid.

Much dissatisfaction has been expressed with mail service of the past summer at Fairbanks. The boats that were expected to carry the mails were indifferent about the matter, and only carried it when it suited their purpose. The people were thus left for long in- tervals without mail.
