 Taking into consideration the ac- tual situation, General Madero accepts the armistice proposed covering the zone of Jaurez in order to negotiate peace in conferences that are to fol low"

IInderseII Mail Order Houses.

While certain number OF peo-
pie near Meridian patronize the
mail order houses of the large
cities, the great majority have
found It cheaper and much more
satisfactory to deal with our local
merchants.
Occasionally the mail order con-
Germs offer genuine bargains, but
their prices on staple lines of
goods, such as are carried in stock
here, are almost invariably higher,
An interesting discussion on this
very point took piece the other
day.
A rancher came in to make
some purchases and remsrked, I'll
| had time, | would order these
from - Of Chicago. l could
save money by doing So"
The merchant happened to have
the catalogue Of the firm in ques,
ton and as he pulled it from
under the counter he said:
"I'll bet you that by the time
you figure in the freight, my
prices are the lowest"
So they carefully looked up the
prices Of every article and found
that with one exception the local
store was actually uuderselling
| the mail order house. The rancher
discovered that he had saved ex,
actly $7,s5 by buying the articles
at home.
1t is much more convenient tc
deal with the local stores, The
goods are delivered immediately
and there are no annoying delays
no bothersome red tape" no cor
responding back and forth wher
goods are not satisfactory.
