HOMIE

Since the new bridge has been op-
ened we understand that some of the
merchants in other towns + run
ming wagons here and offering in
ducements to our citizens to purchase
goods from them. There may be
goods which are not kept in this
town and of course people are excus-
able when they go or send out OF
town for the same, but that oes not
exc1se< people purchasing goods
which a be purchased here. Our
merchants, with a few exceptions,
are very obliging and are always
ready TO fill orders by phone or
otherwise, right on the jump. II we
are ever going to become a real live
town In growth of population, we
must stand by u merchants and
help keep its reputation for business
M. for wat is a town without that?
For many months our merchants
have had a continual struggle, hop
ing for an end to the hard times, al
ways looking forward to the day that
will sec them ono more doing a pros
porous business, as of yore.
Stand by your colors. Help your
own merchants all you can. Buy all
o can from them, for the outside
merchants will always get some trade
from you even then, but don't let
them cajole you into giving them all
Of your trade, only to in the end see
u merchants fail for want OF their
share of your patronage.
