where our laws are made, and unless
a check is administered the passage
of the parcels post bill will mark one
of It's greatest triumphs.
But let us look at few of the
simple reasons why the farmer should
patronize the, home dealer. In the
first place their interests are cen
aered in each other. Every season of
plenty on the farm means a prosper
Gus year to the country merchant. So
in the prosperity of the farmer does
the country merchant expect to gain.
The farmer finds, therefore, in the
country dealer, staunch and loyal
friend and defender of his rights.
They pay taxes together, live side by
side, their children play and go to
school together. When the crops are
poor or misfortune comes, to whom
does the farmer look? Not to the
mail order magnate, but to his neigh
Dor, the country merchant. How
often does the mail order concern
take any interest in the political ques-
lions or legal measures beneficial to-
the farmer? Yet with their bright
hued catalogue of pictured bargains"
they reach out an open hand for the
farmers hard earned dollar And
does he get value received? Not
often The first order he may, but
that Is only a bait. The business is
not founded on principles, it is not
huilded on honorable methods, its
mighty walls are erected on graft.
The goods are shop-worn or shoddy,
or perhaps many kinds of goods have
defects so cunningly concealed that
the naked eye can scarcely see diff
ference between these articles and
those of a much higher grade. You
are expected to send cash with the
order or have it ready when the
goods arrive with the big G. o. d.
mark on the package. Your crop fail
ure, or shortage of money doesn't in.

SHOULD OLD ACQUAINTANCE BE
FORGOT2

There is probably no one in Ten
nessee who would not be glad to see
the old friends, acquaintances and
relatives that have departed, and are
now living in some other part Of this
country. This paper will therefore
take pleasure in publishing the names
of all former Tennesseans now living
elsewhere, and to all names so pub
lished a handsome invitation will be
sent to return to Tennessee and to
their old home during the Tennessee
Home-C Coming Week, Sept. % to 49,
The cheap rates which will be made
for this occasion will embrace a pc
riod of thirty days, so that all home
corners may have an opportunity to
visit their old homes, besides taking
in the general celebration in Nash
villa during the State Fair.

AS on the western prairies in
pioneer days, the trapper's camp fire,
kindled to prepare his frugal meal or
to warm him from the biting wind
famed into renewed vigor, spread
first on the tiny blade of grass to
neighboring blades, and thence to the
tangled masses all around until the
broad plains were one vast sea of
seathing flame destroying all before
1t, so the mail order business, started
in the eastern cities on a small scale,
tanned By the breeze of 1udicious ad-
vertksing, has spread until it now COW
ers the length and breadth of our land
and threatens disaster to the smaller
dealers everywhere. The note of
warning has been sounded, the light
It's visible in the sky, and yet, appar
emily oblivious to it all, the ones
whose safety is being endangered,
heed not the alarm nor the signal Of
disaster The country merchant and
the farmer, whose combined efforts
can stem the tide of destruction that
threatens to engulf them, are alone
unconscious of the approaching devas-
tation, that, like great sea Of con-
Suming flame, is threatening to engulf
them.
The country merchant and the farm
er-the simple, honest jewellers in the
rural districts, are the victims this
gigantic peril is reaching out for to
I'LL its rapacious nav. Each year its
grasp becomes firmer, its power
greater. Only few short years ago
the catalogue house was thing I'M
heard Of. to-day 1t stands as one OF
Americas greatest institutions. And
with great fortune comes great pow
or, so now the mail order business
may well be classed among the powers
lof the nation. Its efforts are already
being felt at the national capital,

As the Pennsylvania Railroad ferryboat
Pittsburg was in midstream on her 2:i5
p. NJ. trip from Jersey City to West Twenty
third street yesterday a well dressed man
climbed over the stern rail on the lower
deck and jumped overheard. The boat
was crowded with train passengers. many
of whom rushed out of the cabins when an
excited man raised the cry.
There's a man in the water!"
Nheelsman Fred Slate saw the would be
suicides head bobbing on the surface in
the wake Of the boat and told Capt. Alfred
Devlin what had happened. The Pitts
burg was cutting through the water AZ
its quickest pace and was nearly a quarter
of a mile from the struggling man before
the engines were reversed.
The Pittsburg started down the river
and Capt. Devlin gave orders to member
OF the crew TO lower a hfeboat. There was
a cheer from the passengers as Deckhands
John Meaney and j.. +. Butler rowed to the
rescue. The skipper of the tug Palmyra
also spotted the man in the water n
steamed in toward him. The Pittsburg's
men reached him first and he was ap-
parcntly glad to see them as he was tread
ing water for all he was worth. heaney
and Butler yaDked him aboard and turned
him over TO the Palmyra's crew. The
tug carried him back to the Jersey City

Ambrois of Paris, to mail letters through him to Nadine. and that she received letters from the ooac achman and sent money to him through the same avenue.
 He relates that the receipt of the letters by Nadine were established through Madine's mother. at Down Patrick, Ireland. and by the testimony of the coachman's sister.
 The petitioner sets forth that the letters were in the possession of Ma dine's mother until July of this year. when he wrote for them. and that on August they were delivered by Ma dine to a representative of MT. Hattie in Toronto, Canada.
 Other letters which, the petitioner seys, he has found since the case was heard were written, he alleges, by Helen Scott and Ida Scott to Howard A, Lappe of Pittsburg, Pa. in which the writers indicate that unless their parents paid them a certain sum or money, paid each month, they would turn in" for the petitioner These letters were written. according to the petition, on April 27 and April ls. 1907.
