Keep Money at Home by Patron
izing Local Dealers
The following timely editorial i
taken from the Norfolk Landmark
and is commended to our reader
as applying to Lexington anC
Rockbridge;
| With Christmas only about si1
weeks off, our people are beginning
to think of their holiday pur'
chases. 1t is timely, therefore, tC
say a word to them about the duty
Of keeping their money at home
when they do their shopping.
This is duty that all public.
spirited citizens should observe as
a general rule, but the discussion
Of the matter is most appropriate
at the season when the heaviest
buying is done.
For years il has been the Land
marks custom to urge its readers
Vat about this time, to think a
little before they send their money
to other cities for goods that they
can buy here at home.
We do this not as II ere formula
or habit, but because we have very
strong convictions on the subject
and eympathize sincerely with the
disgust which local merchants feel
when they see their neighbors
pass them by and deal with out
siders.
The prosperity of the community
is a composite thing. 1t is made
up of the conmunity's individual
citizens and business establish
nents. 1t is q most ungrateful
practice deliberately to spend in
other communities the money we
have made here, when the articles
which We wish to purchase may
Do obtained In u Norfolk store as
EASILY as in Baltimore or Philadel.
)hia or New York.
1t is a mistake to hold the
opinion that we make cur livings,
,reat or small, purely as a result
Il our own exertions. Our income
s made from the patronage of
hose around us, directly or
Indirectly. The national govern
oent cannot levy a direct tax,
ut by indirect taxation it reaches
ur pockets even more certainly ,
han it could do so by direct ,
lethods. People who think that
hey are not taxed because they !
re not conscious of the process r
re no more illogical than those
'ho hold that they make their
loney by themselves and owe no q
atronage to those among whom
ley make it.
The citizen with proper feeling
ould prefer his family to deal at
ONE even at considerable excess h
immediate expense, if such ex- o
'ss were the price Of local buying. c,
ut this is not the fact. The =,
topper can do just as well here as :. :.
the larger cities. Our stores VI
Q attractive and up-to-dste, and Il
ten the same article will be
iced higher in New York than re
Norfolk. The demand there is m
eater, and the merchants can la
ford to take more chances. Where ii
ere is one opportunity to cell e
re, there are twenty five opper- I'll
mites to sell in Kew York; and A
is stiffens the metropolitan mer. NJ
ants backbone. Most of the la
aling abroad is done in tie tn
staken belief that it sounds an
yger" to say that this article or so
at came from New York or of
or Chicago than to tn
that it was bought from our tn
end and fellow-cltizen Blank, in of
rfolk or Portsmouth. an

The Woman's Corner
FOR THE WINpoW-Rox.
Ivy or Nasturtium Suitable Vine and
There Is a Wide Variety Of Flow
ers to Choose From.

The outside of the window box should
be trimmed with hanging or creeping
vines, SUCH as ivy or nasturtiums, which
latter when they are grown for flowers
should have the leaves pinched on.
Those who care for sweet perfumed
flowers, easy to raise in light windows,
can plant heliothrope, v%erbenas, musk
OF mignonette. Every kind Of geranium
thrives in a window box, as do petunias,
marguerites, lobelias and dracenas.
The plants thrive with ordinary care,
watered thoroughly once a day and
raised in the soil described above.
Coleus, whose brilliant foliage makes a
splendid showing, spreads and multi
plies wonderfully, and 1t needs little or
10 care besides watering.
Begonias, of which every season sees
new and more beautiful varieties, do
splendidly In boxes. They require fire.
quent watering. In planting your win
dow garden be careful not to overcrowd
and give each little plant room to grow
and spread. When the window isFnere
shaded ferns of different variety can
be grown. All the ferns need a MOST
atmosphere and a rich, sandy soil-
Hydrangeas, too, should be kept in'the
shady window and they will repay the
window gardener for her frequent spray
ing and watering by their rosy, decora-
tive blossoms. The color can be changed
from pink to blue by putting a piece of
iron-a large nail will do-in the earth
near the roo of the plant.
In buying plants for the window gar
den it is best not to stint at first and
buy good material, though a poor-look-
ing flower will soon outrival its more
prosperous-looking neighbor if the win
dow gardener spends more time and.care
on it.
Window gardens are q constant source
of joy and delight to all who love flow
ers, and it seems strange that in our
great cities where thousands of people
are forced to spend their summers the
window stills do not blossom more often
and more abundantly, breaking the
monotony of the long vista of brick and
cheering the .passer-by as well as the
proud window gardener.
The newest and smartest sleeves are
far from b~ouffant, and if the present
tendency continues We shall. see the
tight arm COVERING back. FH'pi F"

ONE souRCE oF REIIEE.

Our sympathy is extended to all
who have installed electricity for
power in this city. Fortunately the
EVENING NEWS has a gas engine
which run its plant with the ex-
ception of the typesetting machine,
and we are losing no time in con
meeting that up, too. When the mo-
tor for the linotype was put in, it
was suggested by the Public Service
officials that a big motor be installed
Tor running the whole plant. That
would be fine; have a shop full of
job work and getting out a daily
newspaper, and then have the power
suddenly cease; upon inquiring as
70 the cause, be informed that pow
er will be OF for half a day, or any
length of time that suits the conven-
fence OF the Public Service. 1t is to
laugh. When the corporation gets
in position to furnish power, such
a thing might be considered, but a
fine condition a shop would be in
IL depending exclusively on electric
ity. It would seem that those using
electricity would at least be shown
enough consideration to be informed
a few hours before the power Is
shut OF 50 that some kind Of arrange
Perth Amboy evening news., 1905-07-31

ments could be made, but of course,
when the power stops, you know 1t
is shut off and if you don't like that
kind of treatment, why, what are
youFgoing to do about it?
The Public Service has a monopoly
In this city. The people want relief.
A local company has been organized
and has asked for a franchise. 1t
does not ask a great deal, but wants
to be used fairly. We believe the
Board of Aldermen will do this. Sure
ly the city fathers cannot afford to
allow the Public Service monopoly
ride over the people of Perth Amboy
as it sees fit, and at the same time
prevent them from carrying out the
only plan that will bring relief. The
people of this city are pretty indie
pendent in politics and they are not
inclined to be dictated to by the Pub
lie Service Corporation. That seems
to be the situation at present. The
people have put it up to the alder
men to allow them 10 secure relief
We do not believe the aldermen car
delay this matter, for, after all, the
city of Perth Amboy is made up OF
the people who are in it and when
the people want a thing, it is only
another way of saying the city o.
| Perth Amboy wants it.

In 1900 Perth Amboy had a

nearly 80 per cent in ten years. II

now is nearly $4,000, and this shows
an increase in excess of go per cent

And this reminds us to say that
when the returns are completed it

;of the county which is the seat of
the large manufacturing industries.
