the freight, and sell you goods OF better
quality"
There Is another line OF business -
mildly iuterposed Parson Goodman,
that we are all interested In having
satisfactorily represented at home and
that is the laundry. II all men and
women who have laundry work done,
will give IL TO our home laundry, the
money earned will be kept at home and
paid out here, and we will have the
satisfaction of having added another
successful industry in the business
lines Of the town. Really, there Is no
excuse for sending laundry away. G.
q. Schefiler's City Laundry has COM
plete equipment OF modern machinery.
operated by man who knows his bust
ness. All goods are handled with the
utmost care, thoroughly cleansed, pro-
perly ironed, and delivered promptly
on time.''
81 always pull fair with the man
who's hitched in harness with me"
said Judge Mandamus. "The man who
helps me tote the burdens of home af-
fairs; who pays taxes, chips Ia bonuses,
helps to back home enterprises-he
the man who gets my money. You've
never heard, reckon, of my patroniz-
ing any of these run about, nom respon-
sible, homeless insurance agents. All
the money they pick up goes. But
agencies like Adam Wagner's insur.
ance and real estate, illustrate my idea
of mutual benefit. He represents well
known standard companies, and writes
all kinds of risks-tire, life, accident,
cyclone, plato glass, etc. No need of
going anywhere else."
Deacon Titefist continued to growl,
and was h card TO mutter that the
"home man has no mortgage on me. :"
Hon. Thomas Jones concluded to ad-
minister Knockout blow.
MAY be not" Mr.. Jones retorted.
"But who pays taxes to keep up COM
munity expenses? Who's the first man
you strike with subscription list but
the home merchant? Who helps you
keep up the schools, churches and
charities? The catalogue house OF Cat
cheem & Deem, or men like r. r. Ed
wards? And yet you'll propose to send
away for shoes when you should know
you can get better quality for the
money right at home. That's blind
ness, deacon. Here's r. r. Edwards
store carrying an elegant stock OF the
latest styles OF the best shoes made In
creation, including the famous w. l..
Douglas for men and the Irving Drew
for women, and you ask me to ignore 1t
and take dead sure chance OF getting
soaked by a concern that never spends
cent here, Deacon, you insult my
intelligence.
Zone of the most preposterous prop
ositions of the mail order houses Is to
supply wall paper and paints" re-
marked Judge Mandamus, "when
right at home we have the best quail
ties and varied designs and latest
styles TO select from. Cornell Bros.
can satisfy the most exacting taste on
wall paper, and when it comes TO
paints, they're right at the front, both
on quality and price. No, sir. There
is nothing to be gained in sending
away from home for wall paper and
paints. In buying paints especially,
you want to know the man who stands
behind them. There is scarcely any
thing sold so easy TO swindle the buyer
on as paints. Cornell Bros. will not
sell you paints that are not all right. "
The committee on securing trans
portation for the members of the So
ciety to the pumpkin pie social at Far
mer Hardscrabble's reported that they
had been given very satisfactory terms
from f. f, Fales' leading livery. Par
son Goodman expressed satisfaction.
The Fales livery has steady reliable
drivers and good teams, and leaves
ssthing undone for the comfort OF his
patrons" declared the parson. Civ
erymen may come and liverymen may
go, but the Fales is always ready to
serve the public. They have carriages
for funerals at very moderate rates,
and do business on the live and let live
basis"

"Do you send to Washington for
postage stamps2' asked Mr.. Jones. II
tell yon that the retailer in Bedding
can sell to youas cheaply as the retail
err in Chicago, and he is here to back
up his goods and correct mistaks. Take
the dry goods and notion house OF
"A. 81 ID. Friedman, for example. They
buy in the best markets. They know
how to buy close. They are alert to
meet all competition. Their dry goods,
