F., SHOULD TRADE AT HOME
| Nothing to Be Gained BY Sending
Away for Goods.
From FridaS's Dai

From FRIDAYS Daily.
Between 300 and 800 catalogues were
received at the local postoffice last Tues
day, mailed by Sears Roebuck & Co., tC
residents in this community. As the
local merchant agrees to duplicate any
article offered III these catalogues foI
the same price for each with the addi-
ton of the regular freight or express
charges which the buyer would neces-
sarily have to pay if receiving them
from Chicago. these catalogues may be
put to good use.
a dollar sent away from home is lost
so far as aiding in the prosperity OF
this section; in fact it simply helps to
stunt the best interests of the towns
people and the ruralists. If it is spent
at home it acts in an opposite capacity
When wares can be bought from the
home merchant at the same figure and
under the same conditions as they can
be purchased from the mail order houses
abroad, there is no advantage in sending
money to these concerns, unless the buy
er harbors a particular grudge against
his home town, or wishes to pull down
the price of land and produce in the
community in which he livcs."-Glen-
coe Enterprise.
The above conditions of affairs is i'll a
measure due to the merchants OF d
town. A good many people now days
are not so particular as to the quality
if they were they would not buy of a
supply house, of goods they buy as to
the price, and if the country merchant
wishes to overcome this growing tend
ency to send away from home for goods
he should carry a good display ad. ev;
cry week, quoting prices on goods he
has to sell. and in this way the buyer
can readily see that he can buy better
goods at home Just. as cheap and cheap
err, quality considered, as he can of the
supply houses. There is not a merchant
in any country town today who will
not sell goods every bit as cheap as
Chicago firms but who does not make
it known through the advertising col
umns of his town paper simply because
it "does not pay" as he thinks. Try
it, Mr.. Country Merchant, and you will
be surprised at the results.-Journal

Y. M. c. A. CONVENTION.
The Best Ever Held by That Body
In State.

The Y. Nj. c. A. Convention, which
had been in session since Friday
afternoon, adjourned at 10 o'clock on
Sunday night.
1t was the largest and best Con-
vention ever held by that organization
in the State Upwards of $50 dele
gates composed the body.
Busy sessions were held Friday
afternoon, Saturday morning, after.
noon and evening. The pulpits of the
different churches were occupied by
members of the Association at II
o'clock on Sunday morning. A meet
ing was held at the Opera House at 3
o'clock p. M, for men only, addressed
by Mr. Dodge. A meeting for boys
at the same hour, at the Christian
Church, addressed by Mr.. Magill. A
meeting for ladies, only at the same
hour, at the First Baptist Church, ad
dressed by Mr.. G. n. Bierce. The
final meetings were held, at the First
Presbyterian Church at 1880 D. M,
which closed up the business proper,
and the general round up, at the same
church at $3.50 o'clock.
All the addresses were able, attrac.
tive and well calculated to do good.
We wish, in especial manner, to
commend the earnest, searching and
hill oAd Of of q
Opera House, on Sunday afternoon.
We wish that every man and boy
in this whole community could have
heard it. It was filled with facts,
illustrations and warnings that every
young man, especially, ought to know
and give good heed to.
A marked feature of the Convention
was the singing of the Male Quartette
from the Highland Baptist Church, of
Louisville.
The songs sung were tender, rich in
melody and the truth Of the gospel.
