BUYING AT HOME.

There is a Quarrel that
exists between our merchants
and the buying public. OF
course, there are always two
sides to a question of this sort,
and the merchants arc. conf
planning that they are not re-
ceiving the proper patronage
from home people, and which
is a pure truth. The buyers
have about---well, lots Of rea-
SONS why do not patronize
home people. They, too, have
some good reasons. There are
exceptions, but not enough.
We are going to undertake
the task of bringing about a
more pleasant business here
and put a stop to such a large
amount of hard earned money
going out of town, going to
the mail order houses that
advertise SO strong in our city,
and thus skim the cream"
from us. This may take some
time, but we have strong
hopes of accomplishing it.
Our sole object is to better
the conditions of the business
of this city and the surround
ing community, and to do that
we must have the cooperation
of the merchants and the buy
ing public. Lets forget the old
Quarrel" and start all over
again.
Our little city is just what
we make it, and we should
not pull it down, but try to
build it up. Every dollar spent
at home stays at home and
works at home. The town that
is good enough for us to live
in is certainly good enough
for us to buy in, and if not
We should move out and make
room for a live one.
Then, too, our merchants
must not forget that they must
try to encourage buying at
home" In that, we mean for
them to use a means of telling
and proving to the buying
public that they have the goods
and at the right prices. They
should not think that. the
people have to buy from them,
for they will not unless they
are encouraged to do SO.
Buying at home, our mer-
chants can better afford to i'm
prove the conditions of their
stores, hire more people, sell
goods cheaper, and be of more
benefit to the town.

Making Summer Acquaintance

Your neighbor may have passed yeu
in the street for years without smile
because you were never introduced.
But on the railroad train or at a summer
resort he often looseng up to men he
never saw before.
There re sudden friendships, follow
ed by equally hasty coolings at the
summer resort. The woman who told
you all about her love affairs, may not
respond to your harmless remark about
weather the next day. Perhaps you
"got in bad" by talking to the wrong
people the night before.
When people reallp take to each
at a summer resort, their vows of
friendship are ardent and binding.
Their houses are to be thrown open to
each other at all times Afterwards
they send each other post card with
scenery colored green and pink, inscrib-
ing thereon well, how are you" And
that ends it. Friendship is plant that
grows only through the association of
years.

Mems Summer Clothing

A society woman from another city
remarked in the hearing of the writer
the other day, that it is too bad that
men can't have more comfortable sum-
mer clothes. She noted that while
women have their open work and low
necks, the men are sweltering in wool
coats and starched collars.
''Of course" she continued, "a gentle
man does not expect to remove his coat"
When Uncle Reuben used to drive to
church OH a1summer's day, ten to one
he had on black alpaca coat that flop
ped in the breeze. He might have con-
stituted a bulgy and uncouth figure.
But the coat was comfortable and ap-
propriate.
The majority of business men feel
that 1T pays to cultivate finished neat
ness and correct style. Freshly creased
trousers and smoothly pressed coat give
them self confidence. Thus clad they
approach the most formidable captain
of industry without fear A suit of lin
en- would be reduced to n shapelessness
which they fear would seem untidy and
rustic.
Whether or not it pays to carry neat
ness and style to the point of discom-
fort is doubtful. But it is with regret
that the writer heard the dictum of
his society friend quoted above, that the
gentleman might not remove his coat.
1t is one thing to appear in soiled
shirt, with trousers supported by dirty
suspenders, apparently ready to fall off,
with unmentionable consequences. 1t
is another to work in clean waist with
trousers neatly belted. If the women
object, let them devise something better
than the shirt waist man"
Meanwhile these endorsements do
not trouble the great army oil field and
factory workers, whose trade does not
compel them to pass themselves off for
something better than reality. Dressing
to fit the weather rather than to gain
caste. they are the only true philosoph-
ers.

SEVENTH DAY ADVENTISTS

Washington, D. c., May Is
The Seventh Day Adventists are
holding their quadrennial business
session in a unique city of over six
hundred tents, at Takoma Park,
suburb of this place. Pastor A. j.
Haysmer, secretary of the North
American Negro Department for
the Adventists, Sunday delivered
an inspiring report concerning the
specific work of the Adventist
among the Negroes, and the le-
markable growth and progress of
the race generally.
Among the prominent colored
members Of the church who heard
Pastor Haysmer give his report
were: j. X. Humphreys, New
York; G. E. Rodgers, Baltimore;
w, d. Ford, Chicago; l.. w. Brown
Indianapolis; j. H. Lawrence,
Louisville, Ky.;J, M. Campbell,
Washington, D. c.; W. HI. Green,
Detroit; Charles Lightner, Okla
homa City; George Peters, Mont
gomery Ala; j. W. Dancer, Little
Rock, Ark. Mr.. Manns, Savannah;
Mr.. Strachan, Jacksonville, Fla;
Mr.. King, Vicksbuyg, Miss; Phil
ip Gliding, of Dominica. w. l.;
and Huburt Fletcher, of Jamaica,
w. L.
Concerning the work of the
Seventh Day Aventist depomira-
ton among Negroes, the speaker
said: There is no question, in
my mind, but that the Lord inter-
posed for the freedom of the Ne
gro race that they might be in
condition to accept the message of
God through us which we began
to teach shortly before the war.
Today there are $500 colored peo.
pie in this faith. The Oakwood
school at Huntsville, Ala, which
has Just closed its most successful
year, has graduated ministers,
teachers, business men, and nurs-
es. The amount of mission fer
ings and tithe by colcred people in
1912 was over $4,000"
