Contrary to the representa-
tons made by the hired organs
of the Express Companies the
parcels post is working no hard
ship on the progressive country
merchant. There is but one
reason why every merchant in
West Liberty should not build up
a lucrative mail order business,
and that is because they have not
the necessary foresight to recog-
nize and grasp their opportunity.
Or perhaps they are naturally
averse to advertising. Anyhow
they don't do it and the differ
ence in their trade and that of
the advertising merchant is be-
coming more noticeable every
day. be their reasons for not
advertising what they may, they
are the principal losers in the
game, and no one will gainsay
their right to withhold their pat
ronage from their county paper
if they choose to do so at an &C
tual monetary loss to themselves.

The year 1912 was one of the
most prosperous years Morgan
county ever had. We can see no
good reason why the present year
should not be just as good, grant
ing that providence favors us
with an average season. There
has been a general awakening,
business, agricultural and edu-
cational, not only in, this county
but all over Eastern Kentucky,
and it is but natural to suppose
that our people will advance in
stead of retrograde. Show the
average mountaineer a thing
is to his advantage and he will
eventually accept it. He may
not jump at an opportunity as
quickly as our more favored
brothers of the Blue Grass. He
may be a little bit skeptical of a
new idea at first, but when he's
convinced he's convinced and
that's all there is to it.
A great many advanced ideas
have taken root in Morgan Coun.
ty within the last two years, and
