GONE FOREVER.

Ten years ago a farmer put his ini.
tials on a dollar bill. The next day he
went to the nearest town and spent it
with a merchant. Before the year was
out he got the dollar back. Four times
in six years the dollar came back to
him for produce and three times he
heard of it in the pocket of his neigh
bors.
The last time he got it back four
years ago. He sent it 10 a mail order
house. He never has seen that dollar
since, and never will. That dollar bill
will never pay any more school or
Eoad tax for him. will never build or
brighten any of the homes of the com
munity. He sent it entirely out oi
the circle of usefulness to himself and
his neighhorS.
Patronize your local merchant who
helps you to pay your taxes, support
your schools and churches, and lends
a helping hand in times of sickness
and trouble.

The symptoms indicating the decline
