WRITES OF
MAIL ORDERS

l wonder If a frank discussion OF
the question of the mail-order house
versus the local merchant, by far.
mer, would not be a good letter fol-
your cash contest. The local mer.
chants side Of this issue has been
read by the writer many times; but
I don't recall ever having observed
in public print a single discussion
of the farmers side of the issue.
/ believe that continuous publica.
ton of only one side of the matter is
only tending to antagonize the other
side, hence widen the breach between
these two great units of the common
wealth.
The farmer believes that he is
driven to the mail order house wholly
by the local business man. And now
what are some of those methods
The writer answers with a few per-
sonal observations.
During the past season the writer
did the work of laying number of
rolls Of three-ply felt roofing, which
his employer had shipped from the
Sears-Roebuck factory at Portland,
Oregon, and which cost $3.50 per
roll laid down in Blackfoot. Finding
himself a couple of rolls short he
tok a sample to the ---- COM
pany in Blackfoot to duplicate it.
Yes, the exact duplicate was found
but the price was dollar more per
roll. The writer asked why this out
rageous difference in price. WELL"
said the gentleman, "the quality is
unquestionably the same, but we
cannot buy that article for the price
you bought it for"
And yet you urge the farmer to
trade with you and keep his money
at home, in the face of your own
admission that you must send more
of that money out for the same
article than the farmer has TOT"
A friend of mine went last sum-
mer to the - store for four
foot Jackson fork, and three pulleys.
The price charged was $13.75. When
he objected to such an outrageous
cash price the proprietor quoted an
wholesale cost as the
reason.
Now this gentleman knew he could
lay that fork down from Seattle for
less than 81, and the pulleys for 60
cents apiece. And he knew that
Jackson fork was the same article
whether sold by this local dealer or

The Carroll County Colored Fair
closed their fourth annual exhibit
tion Saturday. The meeting was
fairly successful. The attendance
was very good. There was a large
number of exhibits, and interest
in agriculture and stock raising
was manifested. We do not know
how it came out financially. We
understand the carnival feature
was not d very great success.
DIR. w. M. Wright is quite sick
at his home on West Paris street.
His sons, j. Men. Wright, of
jacksonville, Fla, and Charles H.
Wright, of Memphis, we're called
home the first of the week and are
with him. His condition is criti-
cal and his people are very uneasy
about him. The doctor has been
growing feeble for several weeks,
but until about two weeks ago was
able to be out some of his time.
The fourth quarterly conference
for the Hollow Rock circuit and
Huntingdon and Mt. Zion will be

A Community Fair

We recently heard of COM
munity fair that deserves special
notice. The fair was held by
young people, the oldest not being
over Is years Of age, residing in
the Nineteenth district of this
county. 1t was held in the large
oak grove fronting w. L. Rag
lands residence. They had their
agricultural and culinary depart
ments, and also poultry depart
ment. The exhibits were the pro-
ducts of the young people, and,
we understand, everything was
we'll arranged and the affair was
a credit to the young people and
the community.

AL G. STORY'S SHOWS
ARE HERE THIS WEEK

The AL G. Story Show pitched their
tents in this city last Monday, and by
evening everything except the large
Carry-Us-All was in readiness. Their
band gave their usual noon-day con-
cert on our business streets Monday,
and that evening the dramatic COM
pany played that most interesting play
entitled "The Spendthrift."
Along with the dramatic show,
which is the big feature, Mr.. Story
also carries with him the carnival
features, the midway being open an
hour before the commencement of the
big show. Since their previous en-
gagment in this city, the Story's have
added some attractions, such as the
Wild West Show and the Gypsy Camp
The Story's need no introduction
here for the reason that on their pre-
vious visit here last month, their en-
tertainmnt met with the hearty ap-
proval of all. The Story's will lie in
our city the rest of this week, and are
entitled to large patronage of the
fair visitors.

One day last week sheriff Humber
stone received word from the sheriff at
Sidney to arrest two soldier boys who
were coming this way on a freight
train. The charge supposed to be
against the boys was that of deser-
tion from Fort D. A. Russell at Chey-
enne. Sheriff Thunderstorm caught
the boys and placed them in Jail over
night. Later developments proved
that the boys were not deserters, but
were only off on ten days leave of
absence. They were released after it
was found that the charge against
them could not be substantiated.
They secured employment here for a
few days, before returning to Chey-
enne.
