SATURDAY, NOVEMBER II, 100
PURCHASE AT HOME

Now that the holidays are APP
preaching and our people must turn
their attention to the purchase Of
goods made necessary by that season
of the year, it is not out of place to
urge everyone who lives in or near
Fredericksburg to stand by his or
henheme@t6wn by patronizing the
merchants who do business here.
Loyalty to our business men engaged
in the mercantile business is synoni-
nous with loyalty to the town, be-
cause their prosperity is that of the
town.
Our stores in the last few years
have been improved and beautifed,
stocks increased and everything done
BY the owners to meet the demands
and requirements Of all the people.
With these conditions existing there
is neither reason or excuse for leav-
ing Fredericksburg to purchase
goods in Richmond, Washington or
Baltimore. Nothing is so injurious
to the prosperity of city as lack of
support from the buying public, and
we cannot call on others to buy at
home unless we do so ourselves. As
a matter Of fact we believe that each
year there is a decreasing tendency
to make purchases away from home,
but there are still some who indulge
in this practice, and it is to these
buyers that this editorial is address
ed. Let them join the large MAORI
ty of our people in spending their
money at home and good results are
bound to follow. Fredericksburg is a
cheap place to buy in, much cheaper
in fact than the larger cities; license
expenses here are less, and yet the
quality of the goods to be had here
is as good as that to be obtained in
these cities. Of course in some in
stances there may be need of buying
some special article elsewhere, but
generally speaking everything need
ed by our people can be obtained
right at home. Remember this, then,
when you do your shopping, and as
you do the city will prosper proper
tionately.

The state department was advised
by the Western Union Telegraph com
pany that during the present inter
ruption to the telegraph lines in Mica
ragua and Costa RIGA 1t is possible to
handle some of the traffic by wireless
via Colon. but that the service is not
continuous. and that there was no
communication between Tuesday and
Thursday. This accounts for the diff
Guilty the department is experiencing
in its efforts to reach its diplomatic

made to reach these officers.
That the explanation to be made by
the Nicaraguan government Of the
conditions under which the two Amer
leans. Groce and Cannon. were execut-
ed. as forecasted in the news dis
patches from Central America, will be
unsatisfactory to the state department,
can safely be predicted. From any
point the official view is that the men
were free from the charge of being
spies and were entitled to be regarded
as prisoners of war. and therefore not
subject to that penalty.
