Keep Them Posted.

The merchant who is getting
in new goods all of the. time
should keep the people of the
city posted as to what he has
and he will find that his busi-
ness will keep increasing. There
are number of merchants right
here in town who have fine
stocks of goods but they do not
keep the people informed as to
what they have, and consequent
ly the other fellow does the bu-
siness. Try a space in The
TIMES and tell the people what
you have every week and you
will find that it will do your bu-
siness a lot of good. The rates
are reasonable too.

Dear Sir and Friend:-
I am back to the United States
again and will stay in our be-
loved land Too many rocks
down in the Bahamas, in fact
there is not enough earth to
make a good grave yard, but
that was not why I went out
there you know. It was to do
them good and save life.
No doubt in past years the
Islands were alive with Geysers
from the numerous natural
wells left. There are none
there now but it is dangerous
to walk over the all lime stone
formation for the heavy fern
covers the holes and one is liable
to fall into pit. I left all the
Bayfeldites in good health July,

the nations men too small
wages SO it's impossible to charge
for medicine and professional
service. just know a few facts,
72c per day and -four $500 and

as much as 500 per month to

slavery save the whip. A coior~
ed preacher said from the pulpit:
"a Pharareo had come to feed
the poor people who cried for
bread all over the Bahamas"
and tried to sooth them into
quiesence.
Let me tell you this man had
his wages raised to say this from
72c to SAC per day but told me
that he would like to come to !
the United States.
Eremember one pay day that
the company had $500 to pay out
$1,000. Half of the money came
back to the Company's Store be-
fore the other half were paid.
