SAM D. MUNN

Yesterday abont 2:3O in the af- ternoon the death angel visited the home of s. D. Mum and claimed for himself the mainstay of the family, MT. Sam D. Mum.
 God never made a more noble soul than Sam D. Mum. He was honest, upright and gave every man his dues. He was a good citizen, a gcod husband and an indulgent father.
 The editor of this paper re garded him as one of his best friends and we sincerely mourn the loss the community and county at large and especially the loss that his family sustains in his untimely death. May the choicest blessings of God rest upon the family.
 The remains will be inferred at Moscow cemetery this after noon at 2 o'clock.

The whiskey case came up be- fore County Judge Briant in Washington Monday and through an unexpected compromise was settled in favor Of the prohibi- tionists
 M. w. Wilson had made ap- plication for license to conduct a saloon in Washington. and cir culated petition among the people who lived within three miles of the school house. The prohibitionists hearing of this, proceeded to call on residents of the district with a petition which opposed the one which Wilson had circulated. It was suppos- ed by many interested that the petition for license was the stronger and Wilson would win, but when the case came up with up enormous number of wit nesses to testify on both sides, Wilson withdrew bis petition, very much to the surprise of all corned, and the case was decid- ed for the petition against li- cense.
 Wilson paid the sheliff's cost and the prohibitionists paid all other costs.

Beware of Agents Repre- senting Eastern Sweat
 Shop Concerns.

One of the greatest conflicts of commercial supremacy staring the merchants of small towns, is the increased mail order business of the sweat shops of the large cities, and at the present time smooth tongued individuals, rep resenting wholesale concerns of eastern cities are soliciting and gulling the farmer and others, by taking their orders for gKo- ceries, dry goods, jewelry, drugs and various other articles to be delivered at the depot.
 It is strange, but never the less a fact, these smooth indi- viduals reap such enormous or ders for sweat shop, inferior goods, whose manufacturers em- ploy children and women at star vation wages and men whose salaries will not support his family decently, much less edu- cate their children.
 Is it morally right for you to purchace goods under these con- ditions?
 Is it reasonable a merchant in eastern cities can employe agents, pay them a salary, hire teams to travel through the country, box and freight the goods to destination, if they were not an inferior grade of goods? No, it is an impossibility.
 The merchants of Prescott are, and have just cause to complain that their rights are being tram- pied under foot, the lines have become clearly and tightly drawn.
 The merchants of Prescott are your friends, carry fresh, sub- stantial, unadulterated goods of all descriptions at the smallest possible profit.
 The business of these sweat shop agents should be given a wide be, tn. Trade with your home merchants, the ones to whom you seek in time of trou ble, whose money, energy and loyalty have build Prescott, and whose interests are your inter- ests, whom have erected schools, for the benefit of your children, churches in which to worship, caused the development of this city and county, contribute at all times for good roads, build bridges for your accommodation and who come to your rescue in time of need. and who have the welfare of yourself, wife and children's prosperity at heart. ;. Could, or would you think of asking these -sweat-shop con- cerns for advice or favor of even the most trifling kind? Do they care whether your children are educated. or whether you have any roads or bridges:
 No, they do not. These human vipers whose greatest ambition is to swindle you and suck the very life blood of Prescott's mer- chants are menace to civiliza- tion. Refuse their agents offers, tear up the mail order literature, and come to the merchants of Prescott to trade, where you know and can see what you are buying.
 Be loyal to yourself, your fam fly, friends and home.
