to indicate that a park-like place in
the near distance was her home.

"Jist Nat'rly Agin 1t"

1t is not pleasant to keep pound
ing away along the same line all the
time, but the Times wishes to place
itself on the side Of Pennington and
st. Francois county now and all the
time. 1t is "jist nat'rly. agin" the
man, woman or child that will not
support home trade and home bust
ness. An inspection of the shipments
into the town would now and then
surprise the natives. Folks that you
never suspected so, will send out Of
town for the very thing that the
home merchant handles, and is pre-
pared to sell, many times, at n saving
to the purchaser.
Go to st. Louis! Yes. the train
service is quite good, and we have
no objections whatever to Farming
tonians enjoying the ride to the city;
but we do object to the citizens OF
the town going to the city shopping,
so long as it is possible to supply the
wants here at home; and in most of
the instances it is possible.
Some folk go to the city to buy
goods because they think it is fash
ionable. 1t may be fashionable, and
it may help to swell up some folks,
but it will go mighty way toward
killing the home town. The every
body trade at-home-spirit is just the
thing to build up the town and country
1t is to be hoped that it may be more
contagious in the future than in the
past.
