negro's oil can and filled it with water
and gave it back to him. The negro
offered to pay for it. The clerk de
ciined to receive pay, saying, "We are
giving kerosene away now" The negro
boy was delighted and went off some
distance before he was called back and
told OF the joke played on him Some

OF things. They ought to know that a
clothing store doesn't deal in kerosene
and molasses.

| One of the best ways to help your
town is to spend your money at home.
The price may be little higher some
times but the home merchant spends
more than the difference in other ways
that directly benefits you, while the
foreign merchants take your money
out Of circulation and never favor you
after the sale. 1t is worth a little to
you to patronize the men who help you
to keep up your schools, your churches
your city, your taxes, etc. Keep your
money at home and you have a chance
to get it again.
Our line of shoes will suit you. H A
