Death of Mrs. S. A. Porter.

Jonesville, Feb. 15.-Mrs. S. A.
Porter died at her home here Friday
evening about three o'clock. Mrs.
Porter had been suffering for many
Years with that distressing disease,
asthma and for the fact that she was
woman of much energy and great
will power, she would have sue
cumbed to the disease long ago, but
grippe set in upon her only three DAYS
before her death and she soon gave
way and the end came peacefully and
quietly. Mrs. Porter was about 74
years of age and had been left a
widow for many years, her husband,
Marion 5. Porter, having been killed
by the machinery of his stone mill,
leaving Mrs. Porter with six children
most of them quite small, but she
had great nerve and energy and she
brought them all up with good chris
tan training. Her troubles did not
end with the loss of her husband, but
later on son, Fant died and then
still later the tragic death of her
youngest child and daughter, Mrs.
w. T. Jones, but she bore all this
as only sweet christian spirit
trusting in God can do, and she
looked forward to a time when she
would be reunited to her sweet baby
girl in better land, consequently
death had no terror for her. She had
had been member of the Baptist
church many years and lived a con-
sisttentt christian life.
The funeral services were con-
Quoted at the home of her daughter,
Mrs. Ida E. Whitlock, by her pastor
Rev. Lewis M. Rice, on Saturday
evening and the remains laid to rest

THE HOME MERCHANT

The home merchant. Who is he :?
He is the chap who gives you credit
when you are financially broke, and
carries your account until you are
able to pay.
He is the chap who gives you back
your money or makes exchanges
when you are not satisfied with what
you have bought.
He is the chap who stands behind
his guaranty, and makes restoration
of all losses that you may sustain
on the goods you buy.
He is the chap who meets you at
the door with handshake, and let's
you out with message to the "kids"
and real come again goodbye.
tie is the chap who meets and
greets you on the street every day
In the year, and takes neighborly
interest in your family and your
affairs.
He is the chap whose clerks and
bookkeepers and other employees live
in Union and spend their money with
you and with other Union people.
He is the chap who pays heavy
taxes to help support Union schools,
and build Union streets, and maintain
Union fire department and police de-
partments, and parks, and lighting
and water service.
He is the chap who helps support
Union churches and hospitals and
charity organizations, and Union
lodges and commercial clubs, and
talks for Union every day in the year!
He is the chap who visits you
when you are sick, sends flowers To
your camily when you die, and fell
lows youc body out among the .rees
and tombs, as far as human feet may
travel with the dead.
He is your home merchant your
neighbor-your friend-your helper
in times of need.
Don't you think that you ought to
trade with him, and be his friend and
his helper in the time of his need?
Don't you know that every dollar
that you send out of Union for mer-
chandise, is sent to strangers-to men
who never spend a dollar in Union, to
men who would not trust you for a
box of matches, to men who would
turn you over to the police if you
should enter their Offices?
You don't save much, frequently
nothing, when you send your money
out of Union and you take all the risk
yourself of short weight or measure
and of getting damaged or inferior
goods. And don't you know that the
growth and prosperity of Union de-
pends very largely upon the success
and prosperity of the home mer-
chan? Out-of-town people Judge our
city by the appearance of our stores
and the degree of enterprise shown
by our merchants. And our home
merchants can not succeed unless
home folks give them loyal support
