HOME PATRONAGE.

The first step towards the upbuild- ing of business is the application of a rule of home patronage. We of us who have money to spend should spend it at home, expecting our neighbors to do the same. and there by increasing the business of the city as much as possible.
 Frequently business men and cit izens are tempted to spend their money outside of Hot Springs; that is money that could be spent within the city. An analysis of the situation usually shows that no considerable saving has been made.
 Certainly no saving has been made under any condition if the advantage generally is considered of bolStering up Hot Springs business. The sum of money that passes through the banks and clearing houses in Hot Springs represents the business of Hot Springs.
 Every draft and check sent outside of the city is diverted from the busi- mess of Hot Springs.
 Therefore when business man or a citizen of any class takes his mon ey to another market, he should hesi- tate and consider what effect 1t would have on him if others who patronized him, did the same thing.
 As rule business in Hot Springs is handled by business men on a small basis of profit. The Hot Springs business man as rule is as liberal with his prices as condition vii justify. That is the way you are with your business, and the other fellow Is the same--with few eAcep- tions.
 It is always 8 good idea to en- courage home patronage, not to a degree of clannishness, but to that degree at least that is fair, and 70 that degree which makes for larger business locally. Business, after all, is merely a sort of exchange between neighbors and individuals, each to supply the other, and each to make through that interchange a reasona- ble profit for himself to enable him to prosper, and to contribute of his prosperity to those who are employed by and associated with him.

 The mineral resources of the terri tory between Hot Springs and Ash down on the K c. Southern are so varied and valuable tha. we have deemed 1t advisable to establish an office in charge of capable em- ploye for the purpose of exhibiting specimens of some of the principal deposits along our new line of rail road now under construction. This office Is temporarily established at 50S Citizens National Bank Building, and we are now assembling a collec- ton of Kaolin, Fuller's Earth, Ma7l, Phosphate Rock. Lead, Zinc, Iron Py- rites, Chalk, and other deposits of a commercial character, which are now ready for exploitation.
 Miners and manufacturers making use of such material are invited to examine the specimens with a view to a personal examination of the de- poslts, and our facilities are rendered freely and without. charge to those interested. MARTIN WALSH. 12-25-1m. Gen. Frt. and Pass. Agt.

Guaranteed Eggs.

We are now il a position to buy your
good eggs, but do not try to sell dirty
or understood eggs, as they lower the
market value of a case from three to
five cents per dozen; besides you use
eggs at home, and you should keep the
dirty one for your own consumption.
Provide good, clean rests for the
hens and gather the eggs twice a day,
and do not hold for a week before de-
livering. Better deliver twice a week
at least. This will enatle us to give
the consumer strictly fresh eggs. 1t
makes no difference to US how many or
how few you have, as we had rather
pay you for three dozen good eggs
twice a week than six dozen once a
week and have to grade out a dozen or
so. Bring us your eggs and we will
show you how we want you to handle
them.
just as oon as you are through the
breeding season kill off or pen up your
cockrels. and produce an Cnfertile egg,
as it insures the keeping quality of it
much longer than a fertile one.
We will pay you 20 cents per dozen,
cash, for strictly No. l eggs. Dirty
and small eggs not wanted at any price.
Do not wash eggs.

The Cemetery Association.

The Cemetery Association is nearly
seven years old, and we, as officers. feel
that we have a right to be justly proud
of the work that we have done in that
time. We have done everything that
We could for the beauty and improve
ment of the cemetery, and we wish ev-
cry member of the association could
visit it and see what we have done.
In our work we have always had the
cooperation of every lot owner ard this
We appreciate very much. We want to
make a suggestion to those who own
lots on the slant of a hill, Instead of
putting a high brick wall on the low
side, if they will put a coping of stone
or brick all around and sod the lot in
Bermuda, it will make a beautiful lot
will not wash andt lots adjoining will
be more desirable. If it is built up by
putting a brick wall on the low side,
the wall viii give away in time ano
leave the lot in a bad condition. We
have recently had Mr.. Shelf Thomas dc
all necessary grading and put in neces.
sary tile drainage, so the washing will
not be so bad as it has been all over tn,
cemetery. Mr.. Thomas suggested tina,
this was the best way to fix the lots OF
the slant of the hill, and we feel tina
the owners of those lots will follow tn,
suggestion.

On Saturday. February Sth, a few

Notice was not given to every teacher
OF the first meeting, though it was not
because all were not wanted, but from
lack of system and organization. How
ever, every teacher in the county is in

next meeting to join us and help with
the work. This organization can be
a power for good or it can be a failure
all depends on the teachers. The

as can be bought. Ten bushels will be
required to plant an acre, good seed be-
ing most essential.
In getting your ground ready to plant
Irish potatoes, be sure you have the
soil well puIverized. Lay off your rows
about three feet apart, and put about
1900 pounds Of commercial fertilizer to

get some hardwood ashes, such as oak
or hickory. You car mix in about $50
pounds Of these ashes with the CONNER

very valuable as a root crop. If you
can get some old pine straw or leaves,
place it in the bottom of the row before
using the commercial fertilizer. Now,
When you are ready to plant the seed,
