Of success there, and the boys and

This town of yours was founded on
faith. on the faith in the customs of
men for hundreds of years to trade at
the nearest town. These merchants
and carpenters, masOns and editors
are your neighbors. They have grown
up amongst you or amongst others
like you.
They have put their all in little
business, money, time and hope.
Around the corner there is a little cot
tage, and the wife and the baby-it

there is a smile of happiness when
business is good, but the troubled
look comes when business is poor.
They are struggling to live, and pay

A preacher who was crank on
doctrine wearied his congregation by
constantly harpins on baptism. A
brother that longed for a rest handed
him a text he thought safe, The way
of the transgressor is hard
Friends" said the preacher, there
are three things suggested by this
scripture: First. the transgressor.
Second his conversion. Third, his
baptism. We will pass over the first
two and come at once to the third
Many reasons why people should
trade at home rather than send their
money away have been given, but sup
pose we pass them all by and come at
once to the one vital reason
1t is the right thing to do.
For after all the fundamental ques-
ton in every transaction is whether
it is right or wrong. Not will save
money but is it just? Not is it more
convenient, but is it fair? Not
whether is it good business, but
whether it is good morals?
For you and | know. and all the
world is coming to know, that not
one dollar is ever saved or made by
unfair means that does not curse the
pOssessor And a man may be as dis
honest in saving money as in getting
It.
It is right to spend our money with
the home town and wrong to send it
away because we are under obliga-
lions to the home town, but not to
the mail order house
Financial Obligations.
In the first place the country IS un-
der financial obligations to the town.
OF course the town is also indebted
to the country, but the town cannot
help but pay its debt, its very exist
ence does that. Hence we are merely
discussing the country side Of the OBJ

Find 200 acres OF good land almost
anywhere that is 20 miles from town
and you can buy it for $25 an acre.
The same land within ten miles Will
bring $35, within five miles its value
is $50. within two miles $S5 an acre.
Thus that town has increased the
land within a radius of ten miles an
average of $35 dollars an acre. AS
that is about the age of country towns
generally. you may figure that town,
as long as it is fairly prosperous, in
creases the land around it an average
of one dollar an acre every year.
Not considering staple articles like
cattle, hogs and grain which can be
shipped and sold anyway, the town as
a local market is worth at least $40
a year to the ordinary farmer
For example This year the peach
markets were SO glutted no ordinary
fruit would pay the express. Around
the little town in which the writer
lives most farmers have a few peach
trees. The 1000 inhabitants bought
nearly every bushcl in the vicinity at
from 40 cents to dollar bushel.
More than $4,000 was paid for peaches
within three weeks.
That was clear gain which must be
set over TO the credit of the town.
Plums, cherries, early vegetables,
scores of little odds and ends, perish,
able stun that the farmer could not or
would not ship he turns into cash at
the home town.
So if man owns 200 acres within
reach of town. he will receive $275 a
year direct cash value from that
town. none of which he would receive
from the mail order house,
TO be sure, the town does not do
nate him that amount, the town was
not built for the purpose of philan-
thropy. yet he receives an actual cash
benefit because the town is there; and
he is under actual financial obliga-
tions to return that benefit by spend
ing his money at home
1t is not an obligation that the law
would recognize, but it is one that ap,
IhtblS 10 IuOSt independent, NA'S'l'
hearted men OF high honor who feel
that perfect honesty demands that
when benefits are received from
stranger or brother, friend or foe
benefits should be returned.
Social Obligations.
Ii Is right for the country to spend
its money with the home town because
OF the social obligations between
them.
The town is the center OF your com
munity. From it radiates your rural
mail service; in it center your tele
phone systems. On the streets OF the
town you meet your neighbors Satur
day afternoons and exchange new
and experience You go to 1t for da

tional administration, composed
chiefly of those who hold or have
held positions in the Government
service, was readily manifested,
but met its wsterloo in the quick
and keen foresight and action of
those who have mo AK to grind. I"
The resolutions adopted LETT no
doubt as to which side won. The
failure to endorse their repre-
sentative, Hon D. C. Edwards, to
whom they owe their positions;the
absence of instructions for A. E.
Wilson for Governor and the start
ling ON ission to personally men,
ton and applaud the hero of San
tiago shows plainly that the Fed
eral forces reckoned too soon Or
really failed to gague the situation
| b fore the battle begun.
True it was only a little conflict,
pleasant of course, but it has its
bearing and shows that the old
regulars are still pebble on
the beach" and are not
ready to give a deed of trust nor
beat the march of retreat. Fifty
delegates were named to cast the
II votes, of Adair county in the
state convention, and left free
and untrammeled in every thing
except they are directed to vote
for Mr.. J. S. Stapp for State Su-
perintendent of public Instruction
and to use all honorable means in
this power to secure his nomina-
ton. Not a dissenting voice was
raised against the endorsement
of our townsman and every dele
gate favored his nomination.
Mr.. Stapp is Republican whose
fidelity to party has never been
questioned and at no time has he
ever sulked or refused to work to
the midnight hour for its princi-
pies, its nominees and it's policies.
He has never held, and never be-
fore asked for an official position.
His sacrifice for his party, his
worth in it's building, together
with the appreciation of his abili-
ity secured for him the strong
endn.camer* Of his party asso"i-
ates in t;'s county and means
that they will so to the State Con-
vention to do their utmost to Sc
cure his nomination.
