KISS ADDIE FEE.

Tho whole town is in sadness
caused by the passing away on
Monday Of this week Of one Of
her loviiest daughters in the pep
son of Miss Addie Fee. Miss
Adiis was born aud reared here
and was loved by all for her
gentle. modest manner. and
christian virtues. We should
feel thankful for her life and her
b-iSat hope of heaven. We ex-
tend our tenderest, most heart
felt sympathy to the broken
hearted mother whose life she
frightened so much by her faith
ful ministrations vt love, and To-
all her other loved ones. The
funeral services were conducted
by her loved pastor, Rev. j. C.
Park, and she was gently laid -
rest surrounded by 4 tnro.g o.
sympathetic friends.

The Cata|og House Problem

1t is with no small amount of S,
tisfaction that we read the resoln.
tons of The Les,erville and U,i "a
merchants in the Lesterville Led
ger to do strictly cash business af
ter January 1. 1910. This is a step
in the direction OF conducting
ones business on a practical basis
enabling the merchant to compete
with the catalog house. When it
is taken into account that an enor
NOUS amount of ordering from tie
catolog house is going on in all
the small towns, it does seem pos
s'ble that sooner or later the coun
try merchant will be an unknown
quantity, it different and more bu
siness like methods are not en-
ployed by him.
1t would be an injustice, and let
us be frank on this point, to lay
the blame on the shoulders of the
catalog house patron. This is an
age..of economy and it is but natu
raj to deduct that the man who
can sell a certain article lor less
money than his competitor he is
the man aho will make more
sales and correspondingly increase
his business. The fundamental
principle of success in any bust
hess is the quality and the price.
Customers demand them and it is
up to the merchant to adopt a sys
tenn that will enable him to salts
fly his customers in both of these.
The catalogue houses we'll under
stood the weight of the quality
and price argument. Their sue
cess is known by everyone to day
and while it is a sad state of at
fairs that people should ord,r
their necessaries to the detriment
of the home merchant and like
wise the town, a remedy offers il
self, if only the home merchants
would take ADVANTAGE Of il name
ly the cash business.
We do nof see how a merchant
can duplicate prices when he is *
tending credit to his customers
for several years without interest
and his books constantly show a
credit account running into four
figures while he has to pay from
