The Primary.

Well, the primary is fixed for June 4tli.
Enough time for the candidates to get
their hearings. 1t hehooves our own
committee TO set some date preferably
June 4th to avoid two prinaries) for our
county priniry. Don't let's have any
more (snap) two weeks notice primaries.
It's too much like shooting u covey of

EVIL IN LITTLE JEALouslEs.
snobbishness on Part Of Merchants
Wives Sometimes Injuries Trade.

Since the time of Eve woman has
been accredited with being a jealous
creature, and in history are recorded
numerous cases where this element
has had its influence in building up
and tearing down nations. In the av-
erage rural town, among the little
evils noticed, is that often merchants
wives do lot consider the wives Of the
farmers their equals socially or other
wise. One woman in a town can cast
the stigma of snobbishness upon quite
a few others who are known as her
associates, and sometimes to the det-
riment of the place. 1t may be that
wives of merchants dress better than
do the wives and daughters of farm
ers. Possibly the children of the town
tradesman may wear better clothes.
Envy is a knife that cuts deep, and
perhaps without apparent reason
some woman concludes that the wife
OF a certain merchant thinks herself
better than the wives of the people
who give her husband a means of liv-
ing. 1t is the women of the farm
household who have the greatest in
nuence in the matter of buying. A
word from the wife will often turn
trade from the usual channel, and
this word may be caused by the atti-
tude OF the merchants wife who,
through some neglect or discourtesy,
u~nfavorably impresses the wife of the
farmer. There is nothing like a
friendly feeling as a trade stimulator.
Ii the wife of the merchant would
only cultivate more closely the ac-
qua1ntance and the friendship of the
women residing in the farming dis
tricts which give the town support,
1t would work wonders in the way of
bringing additional trade to the town.
Snobblshness pays. The sturdy
women who reside On farms are quite
often the superiors of those who reside
In the towns and are perhaps the
wives of the merchants. The bows
and girls reared or the farm average
Well with those of the towns. These
facts should be realized. Petty ieal-
ousles should be done away with
they exist between the people
VINO reside in the towns and those
who reside in the country. 1t is best
for the community.
The Tupelo journal., 1908-02-07
The Country Editor

Ii conscientious effort and merit
mean anything, there is no good rea-
son why the country editor should
not expect to wear a golden crown
and a diamond-studded harp in the
good world to come. His sphere is
surely one in which his usefulness ia
limited only by his ability to work.
1t may be a debatable question wheth-
er h average editor of a small town
paper does more for the town than
the town does for the editor. 1t NAV
De true that one Of the greatest sins
that can be laid at his door is that of
poverty-not poverty of brain but of
pocket. He may labor for the enlight-
eminent OF an unappreciative people.
but is there not in
knowing that a duty is faithfully per-
formed? His efforts to boom the town
may not always meet with an encour-
aging response in the way of good
advertising patronage from the local
business interests. His work of
showing up his town as a live n
progressive place sometimes falls fiat
because of a lack of good snappy ad-
Vertlslng of he stores. There are few
things that are a better criterion of
the life of a place than the advertising
pages of the local paper. Bv it a
stranger is impressed either ia, orably
or otherwise. If the paper is bright,
newsy, we'll filled with advertising
there are in it indications that the town
is progressive, the merchants prosper.
Gus, and that the people are of the
class that make excellent neighbors.
On the other hand, if there are only a
few lines of local news, half a dozen
small cards and announcements, and a
few large advertisements of depart
ment stores and mail order houses in
other cities, the impression is given
to the reader that the town is a good
place to steer clear of, and not the
kind of place where one would care
TO oulld a home. d.. M. CARR.

Trade at Home,

Patronage of the big mail order
houses is founded largely on ignorance
and shortsightedness. In n way it
is akin to patronage of the get-rich.
quick schemes. The buyer believes he
is getting something for his money
that is really not given, and fails to
realize either where his money goes or
what he gets for it.
No one would think of telephoning
to a furniture store and asking the
dealer to send up a dozen diningroom
chairs without having seer the goods
or OF ordering a dress or pair of
shoes, or a stove, in this way. Yet
that is practically what the patron Of
the mail order house does. He orders
by mail without having seen the goods
or having any idea of their appear
ance or character. He is taking a long
chance. Two things on which he has
to base his conception of the articles
ordered is a description in the cata-
logue and the cut given there. In 9TH
er words, the attractiveness of the
offer made depends on the promises of
the firm and the engraver's art. 1t is
possible to make a very c~reditable
cut from a fimsy and worthless mod
ell. 1t is possible to describe an atroc-
ity in a way that makes it appear most
desirable. incidentally it seems to be
always possible to find some one who
will accept the promise and cut at
their face value, without properly
discounting them, and on the credi-
bility of these people, the mail order
business thrives. A little investigation
and comparison will convince the av-
erage person that his money will go
further and yield greater returns if in.

the fictitious values offered by the

they are reported to be in the cata-

He used to tear himself dreadfully in

AGREEING WITH THE ASSESSOR.
His Reason for Building Unneeded
Addition to House.

Representative Birdsall Of Iowa OBJ
jects to the high rentals charged in
Washington during the congressional
season. He says he feels like an
Irish farmer he knew out in his dis
trict. The farmer had bought a place
out of savings as a farmland and
renter. The tax assessor came around
one day and put a valuation on Pats
new property which Pat thought ex-
cessive. His protest, however, was
unavailing.
One day a neighbor visited Pat and
found him building an addition to his
house, and obviously the house was
plenty big enough without it.
Isn't that a piece of eXtrava-
gance?" he asked Pat.
Think agin it moight be-" said

Too Interesting to Bury,

There is a certain little southern
nanny. The nurses name is Sally,
and she is a large woman, SO she is
known as Big Sally. Ethel, however,
calls her 'Biggie" for short. One day
her mother took her to a museum,
where, among other things, there were
greatly interested, and for many days
she did not tire of talking about them.
Perhaps a week later, at the supper
table. after a ~preoccupied silence, she
said:
Mamma, when Biggie dies I'm not
going to have her buried; I'm going to
have her stuffed"

One Editors Advice.

A western editor in a recent number
OF his paper says: I'VE again desire
to call our readers attention to the
fact that they should buy everything
they use from home merchants, and
not aid in building up large establish
ments in a distant city. Did you ever
stop to think that every cent you buy
at home aids the city in which you
live, and all you send away drains the
city of that much of the medium of ex-
change that should remain at home?
The stability of your home institutions
depends upon you and you alone. You
do not believe that, but remember
when you speak of other persons it is
said as you, and when thus explained
can you. Your trade at home will
make better mercantile establish.
ments and a better city. The next
time you are possessed with a spirit
of getting something away from home,
gently call a halt and go to your home
merchants and call for what you want
and in nine out of ten you will
find the desired article, but should you
fail, ask the merchant to get it for
you and see how rapidly he will &C.
commodate you, and when the price is
named and you compare it with the
catalogue you will be a%greeably sur
prised. Discard the idea that O
must get something from a distance,
but instead buy at home and every
citizen become an advertising medium,
and you will be surprised at the result.
Don't say That article does not apply
to me, for what little I get away from
home does not amount Il anything
You are mistaken, for every little put
together make the larger things. Be
loyal and do all your trading at home.s

Surely Kinu of BURGLARS,

The most enterprising burglar as
yet recorded is the Long Island chap
who not only escaped from a brand

took with him all the locks and door,

they ought to promote him to the best
penitentiary in the land as a tribute
to his genius.
