Financial Destruction

The merchants OF this town deserve the patron-
age Of the people Of this community They are a
part, and very important part, Of the community.
They pay very considerable portion Of the taxes
OF the town and OF the county. They contribute
to the support of the churches and other social in
sttutions, and make possible many things the com
munity would not have il they were not here.
The maiLorder houses Of the cities are spending
thousands of dollars for the purpose OF putting the
country merchants OF this town, and other towns
out of business, and every man who spends dollar
with them assists in the accomplishment Of their
selfish aims
The ultimate end Of the mail-order method will
be the cenualizing Of all the business of the coun-
try in the large cities and the financial destruction
of the smaller cities and towns.

ARE We TO HAVE
A COUNTY FAIR?

AT the meeting Of the Dickson
Merchants Association last Mon.
day night, the question Of having
a fair this fall was brought up.
Some few OF those present seemed
to think that because the county
court had refused TO help assist in
financing the county lair this fall,
that the fair should not be held as
the merchants and citizens who
have given their money and labor

sentatives had refused to lend a

iums, practically all goes to the
farmer, and those who are not
fortunate enough to receive pre-.
miums are greatly benefited by see
ing what bis neighbors and other
citizens OF the county are doing
However, the majority OF the mem.
bers oil the association were OF the
opinion that the greater per cent OF
the citizens OF the county were in
favor Of continuing the fair and
would be willing to aid all they
could 10 help finance the fair this
