An advertisement for Chicago mail
order house appears in this issue of THE
REPORTER. In justice to this paper we
desire to say that it is not inserted be-
cause we wanted the advertisement or
needed the money which we receive for
printing it, but because the United
States postal regulations under which
this paper is admitted as second class
matter provides that the publisher must
not refuse any legitimate advertisement
which is rendered it at regular rates,
and when we were offered our highest
rates for this advertisement we could
do nothing but accept it. People who
patronize mail order houses do not
always get the big bargains they think
they do, and in almost every instance if
they will take the trouble to investigate
would find they could purchase the same
grade Of goods from our home mer-
chants just as cheap as they send to
Chicago and get them, and in some cases
for less money. The next time you
are tempted to send mail order to
some foreign house just go to the mer-
chant who has accommodated you with
credit and other fayors when you need
ed them and seetif he cannot supply
your wants and give you better article
for the same money. The home mer-
chant pays taxes and gives his support
to all local enterprises and for this rea-
son is entitled to the support of the
lpeople living in this vicinity.

that the patrons Of the plant will be a
little patient with them, as with winter
right here there will be many days that
lineman cannot work at outside work,
and it will take some time to get all the
needed repairs made, but when the
work is completed the Leon plant will
be as good a plant as can be found in
the state. He says the company will
also investigate the question Of heating
the businesses portion of the town with
steam and if everything works as e1-
pected the heating plant will be put in
before next winter.
