agents slip around and take private orders
for cured meats. They get no encouragement
from me. Tomlinson & Simon of the City mar
ket (phone 35) and Vincent Fait of the Model
market phone 41) supply my table. Their
markets are always stocked with prime meats
of every description that know to be of first
class quality. And their weights are honest
and prices graded to the lowest market notch
1t pays to trade with these up-to-date mar
kets. They make speciality of home cured
ham, bacon and other meats, and always have
fine lot of poultry and other extra nice
meats for Sunday dinners"
DR.. Cureem's wife called attention to a cata-
logue list of books, and said she couldn't get
them for any such prices at home.
"That's because our folks don't carry tn e
mail order grade of cheap stuff" asserted
Hon. Thomas Jones. "Take any legitimate
edition printed, though, and E. H. & II. L.
Leyings will sell it to you here at the rate
quoted by the catalogue house, and you save
the postage. Same thing with ell book sellers
notions, fancy articles. fine grade stationery,
wall paper, school books, school supplies, etc.
E. III. & H. L. Levngs will meet the mail order
chap and save you the freight, and sell you
goods of better quality. They sell all the
prominent magazines and daily papers. Their
STOCK of the latest novels is quite complete,
and the lover OF reading will find here wide
range, and something to suit all tastes in
good literature"
Deacon Titefist continued to growl, and was
heard to mutter that the ''home man has no
mortgage on me-" Hon. Thomas Jones con-
Guided to administer knockout blow.
MAY be not Mr.. Jones retorted. But
who pays taxes to keep up community ex-
penses? Who's the first man you strike with a
subscription list but the home merchant? Who
helps you keep up the schools, churches and
charities? The catalogue house of Catchem g.
Deem, or men like H. N Wiger, Allard, Stew
art Co. and Il. HI. Daniels? And yet you'll pro-
pose to send away for shoes when you should
know you can get better quality for the money
right at home. That's blindness, Deacon.
Here's HI. N. Wigers, Alard Stewart Co. IS
and T. III. Daniels stores carrying elegant
stocks of the latest styles of the best made
shoes in creation, and you ask me to ignore
them and take a dead sure chance of getting
soaked by concern that never spends cent
here. Deacon you insult my intelligence"
The committee on securing transportation
for the members of the society to the pumpkin
pie social at Farmer Hardscrabbles, reported
that they had been given very satisfactory
terms from A. III. Lords livery. Parson Good
man expressed satisfaction. "Mr. Lord has
steady, reliable drivers and good teams, and
leaves nothing undone for the comfort of his
patrons" declared the parson. ''Liverymen
may come and liveryman may go, but A H.
Lord is always to be found at the old stand
ready to serve the public. He has carriages
for funerals at very moderate rates. and he
does business on the live and let live basis
Mr.. Lord runs hack and bus line and gives
prompt attention to calls. Phone 30.

our new house." said John Harmony leader of
the church choir, land we were deluged with
circulars, letters and solicitors from outside
music firms and mail order houses But Mrs.
Harmony and I not only believe in buying
everything obtainable at home, but in making
a purchase of such magnitude we wanted a
home man to look to- should anything go
wrong. We turned down the outside statesmen
and bought our piano of c. f. Winter and we
are more than pleased with it. We not only
got first-class piano, but saved money by buy

of several first-class makes of sewing ma

''One of the queerest things in the question
of home trade said Hon. Thomas Jones, ''is
the tendency of citizens to injure their own
grain market. Take the matter of -four. Here S

81 have noticed a somewhat general belief
among my young lady friends" said Miss Make
peace Cheviot, the fashionable dressmaker
and member of the church choir, that the
fact of having photograph made in large
city enhances 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 discouraged. With artists
of such perfect knowledge of photograph max
ing as S. A. Thayer and E. P. Sanderson in this
community, there is no possible justification
for going away from home for photographs.
S. A. Thayer's and Sanderson's studios are
right up to date in all the latest effects to be
secured in perfect photography, and then their
prices are less for high class work than is
charged in larger cities"
BRO. Hardscrabble is right in his unfavorable
opinion of travelling picture solicitors OBJ
served Parson Goodman, 'tbut believe the
travelling spectacle peddler is greater evil,
and city councils would be justified in placing
a prohibitive license on their business. In most
instances they not only extort double prices
from their Victims but being ignorant of optics
and knowing nothing but peddling, they fire.
