We have this week refused a nice little bunch of out of town advertising that would have been paid for at regular rates, but we did dot take it. Why ? Because our local Merchants are giving us a liberal advertising patronage and as long as they continue to do so we will not take any advertising that would tend to interfere with thelr busi ness. We hope that our merch- ants and business men will ap- preciate this fact enough to keep our colums full of good live ads.
