TEN VALID REASONS
The Home Merchant Should Receive
Your Patronage Because:

1. Your home merchants can dupli-
cate the prices made by any RESPONSE
BILE concern anywhere on goods of
equal quality, in the same quantities
and on the same basis of delivery and
payment.
2. You can examine your purchases
in the home store and be assured OF
satisfaction before investing your
money.
8. Your home merchants are always
ready and willing to make right any
error or any defective article pur-
chased
4. Your home merchants help sup
port, through direct and indirect tax
alton, your schools, churches, librar-
les and other public institutions.
5. Your home merchants help make
a good local market for everything
you have to sell, and that market
more than any other factor gives
your land it's present value.
6. Your home merchants are your
good friends ever ready to extend a
helping hand in time of need.
z. If this community is good enough
for you to live in and make your
money in, it's good enough to spend
it in.
8. The best citizens in this com
munity are those who believe in and
practice home patronage. Be one OF
the best!
9. The merchants in the distant
city give you nothing valuable that
the home merchants cannot give you
and the former cannot and will not
do for you many things the latter dc
gladly.
10. Every dollar kept in circulation
in this community helps increase pro
perty values. Every dollar sent out
Of this community that could as well
be kept here, hinders the wheels OF
progress and helps up some other
community at your expense.

Essless Pumpkin Pie.

Would not believe it until I expert
'nented. Made two pies with egs
and two without, substituting rolled
soda cracker for each egg. One pie
equaled the other in looks and taste.
Boil your pumpkin until done,
strain, then add three cupfuls of
pumpkin, two cupfuls Of milk, one and
one-half cupfuls Of sugar, little salt,
ginger and allspice to suit taste, and
two tablespoonfuls Of molasses If you
desire them dark. Roll three soda
crackers and stir into the mixture.
Your pies will be light and rich.

On the Foreshcre.

Softly, gently, blow little wind,
Sweet with the salt of the sea,
One little kiss to the man love
And one little kiss for thee
Baby asleep in the cradle deep,
And my man away from me.
Blow, little wind, the words / love
Over the calm blue sea;
Tell him the baby's cheeks are red,
She's sweeter than honey from toes
to head
And she's resting now on my knee;
Baby asleep. baby asleep. child OF
thee and me.
Blow, little wind, the thoughts think
So full Of love when the days work is
DER;
For my man will sleep on the deep to
night
While I bide here on the shore;
Blow, little wind, you know the rest
Baby asleep on her mothers breast.
Blow, little wind, that pray each day
AS watch the sun lift from the sea,
That God will bring the good shi1
home,
And my good man back to me;
And baby Msps from the land o
dreams:

RURAL FREE
DELIVERY
Three Billion Letters Year Now
Bear These Initials
r. r. D.

the United States means the distribu.
ton of nearly 3,O00,0OO,OOO letters and
parcels annually along the highways
and byways of every state and terri
tory from Maine to Alaska. A force of
41,000 carriers daily go over routes
assigned to them.
Bringing the mail to the farmer now
costs the nation $36,0OO,OO0 a year in
salaries for the carriers, expense of
examining new routes, maintaining
post offices, payments of inspectors,
special agents, clerks and chiefs of
bureaus.
To secure information to make
changes in routes and carriers, where
deemed necessary, to establish new
routes and to record and tabulate
statistics and data for the Postmaster
General as well as for the public,
force Of only 110 persons is required
in Washington, in spite of the great
amount of Office work and correspond
ence that must be finished daily.
Over a million letters are received
and answered by the Department of
Rural Free Delivery in year. Many
of those received are merely address
ed to the department To save time
of opening and reading missives not
properly directed is part of the work
of the mailing section. 1t includes
a private post Office through which
every letter received or sent relative
to rural delivery must pass.
Every one of the half million and
more letters sent from this depart
ment is copied for record by me-
chanical system which saves the la
bor of hundred copying clerks even
where the hand copying press or the
carbon method has been employed. A
force of only seventeen clerks is need
ed in this section, yet in addition to
handling and copying mail they keep
daily record of all the outlay for
postage expenses Of the department
and sort and examine the hundreds of
letters daily received which must be
returned to the post Offices where
they should have been directed.
What the service does in receiving
applications for new routes, petitions
for carriers, decisions of the depart
ment, the payments and receipts, is
told by the post Office newspaper, pub
lished every day by the accounting
section 1t is a record of what every
one in this postal counting house, in
Guiding the assistant postmaster gen.
eral himself, is doing. Every import
ant item of statistics is tabulated in
type.
The esprit de corps of the rural free
delivery is best shown by the last an
nual report During the year it states
that out of the 41,OOO in the service
the total dismissals for cause were on
lily 165, less than the total number of
deaths.
The reasons for the dismissals
were principally incompetence and
failure to obey instructions. No dis,
missals whatever for stealing from
the mails or other dishonesty were on
the records. Considering the differ
ent kinds of men required, this is in
deed remarkable testimony to their
faithfulness and speaks well for the
organization.

"Winter?"

Yes, winter again!"
That is a sample of conversation

morning. Accompanied, as the snow
fall was by sharp, penetrating
North wind, it made the average

IN TAXES
FOR THE PRESENT
YEAR AND LAST
A HEALTHY INCREASE IN EVERY
ITEM AND PROPERTY
ADVANCING.
Real Property Shows the Largest In
crease of Any and the Items Are
Given in Detail That the Compare
sons May Be Made.

The tax books were completed Sat
urday and were this morning SUBMIT
ted to the county court for approval
and the same were accepted. The
completion of this work has been
tremendous task and is always re-
lief to the clerk when it is done.
The figures show most healthy in
crease in every instabce, and the to-
tai taxation being $11,S35,6O0, as
against $11,2S3,975, being an increase
of the total taxable property of S551,-
625. The major portion of this in
crease was of course in personal
property. There has been, however,
considerable increase in the value or
farm property and real estate In ev-
cry section of the county.
The figures are as follows:
For the year 1911, lots 3,SO3; valua-
ton, 2,533,300. For 1910 lots 3.643,
valued at $2,45S,575 An increase of
STATES. Value of acres of land for
Il911, $6,490,S50; for the year 1910,
$6,344,900. Personal property FOR
+ 1911, $2,811,450; for the year 1910,
$2,4S09OO. Polls for 1911. $685.,

This does not report the State and
county taxes by items, but it will be
seen that this is included in the to-
tai. Each and every item will show
a healthy increase over last year, and
it has been a task for the clerks that

WELL KNOWN MARE BELONGING
TO PORTER ERWIN is
DEAD.

Halle, the we'll known mare be-
longing to Porter Erwin, is no more.
She is dead as the result of old age
and perhaps some other comphca-
lions. Halle was Of fine breeding,
the strain going back to the Val Jean
family. She was twenty-seven years
of age and was a familiar figure
about Columbia for many years, ana
Notwithstanding her age she was the
mother of colt this spring sired by
Little Buddie, which took the tlue
ribbon at the Maury County Fair this
fall. Mr.. Erwin is Of course 7ery
proud of the colt, and his pride Is
not to be considered as matter for
criticism.
