Preparing For Winter.

Dropping into Ben Bears store the
other day we noticed them unpacking
some large cases of winter goods. and
inquiring we found that there was
81, 300 worth of winter goods in the
lot Mr.. Bear informed US that he
was perhaps little earlier than usual
this year, but in his thirty years of
business he had always made it a
point never to be behind the process
sion, and fearing an increase in the
price OF these particular goods, he
ordered large supply early, in order
to get the lowest possible price, and
also TO get his pick of the best
product of the manufacturers.
He was also busy the same day
choking over advance orders for all
kinds of materials and made-up styles
for his winter trade, already getting
things arranged for his semi annual
trip TO New York. When he leaves
for market he will have an advance
inventory of estimated stock needs
for the coming season, and will buy
accordingly. Although an optmist
always, yet when he gets to market
he invariably buys more than he
thinks he will when he starts. These
big purchases, paid for in cash, or
dered and made up under his personal
supervision, have made him the model
merchant whom many others in this
section have patterned after during
the past years.

AT last Uncle Sam is to lock arms
with the system" in a fight to a
finish. President Roosevelt finally has
decided to begin series of pro-
secutions against the Standard Oil
Company. There will be criminal
proceedings in number of different
judicial districts.
The attorney general has issued
orders to the different attorneys. and
already has appointed special counsel for
the government to continue the inves-
tigation, one of whom is District
Attorney Morrison of Chicago, who
will resign his resent position almost
at once to take up his wider field of
labor. The Standard Oil Company
will be prosecuted as corporation
for violation of the Elkins law for
bidding rebates, or the giving or re-
ceiving of discriminating rates. The
method of prosecution adopted sue
cessfully at Kansas City before Judge
Smith Mcpherson, which resulted in
the conviction of the packing houses,
is to be followed to a certain extent
in the fight against the Standard Oil.

The year 1905 was a pros
porous one for the Marshall
Republican and we felt that
the time had arrived that we
could venture TO do business
on a larger scale, and to be
sure of the move we made the
proposition two weeks ago
that If 800 on subscription
we're sent in during the fol-
lowing 10 days we would
spend about $1,000 ON office
improvements and "A like
amount on extra salaries for
An improved news service
during 1906. The offer was
made TO test the spirit and
feeling Of our readers in or.
der that we might feel safe in
our venture. The response
was only about half what was
asked, and we have therefore
decided 10 Ego il easy" ON
improvements. We are in
correspondence with several
experienced newspaper men
to assist us and if arrange.
ments can be made we will
improve the quality of the
news without enlarging the
paper for the present, as our
Facilities, now, will not per-
init. To those who respond
ed, We extend our hearty |
thanks and hope to merit
their approval for 1906. The
