Considerable space is given up to

Late last Friday night Arnold
George Tillman, young man some "
years of age who was born and grew
up to manhood near LOOMS, was
brought to the local hospital in pre-
carious condition. He had been suf-
fering from walking typhoid, resulting
in bringing about perforation of the
bowels. DR.. Bevls operated on the
patient, but the young man was in
such a condition that the doctor held
out no hopes of recovery. Death fol-
lower early Saturday evening. Arnold
Tillman was a worthy and promising
young man and his loss is deeply de-

THE AMEND HONORABLE.

In a recent Issue of the Gazette
mention was made OF the swift action

II was therein stated that this call was
filed because the Tonasket doctor, II.
B. Clough, NJ. D.. was out OF town. pre-
sumably on professional call. ana
the case was one of those in which
time was the essence of the contract.
The cruix of the item. however. was
merely the speed In which the Oroyille
doctor covered the ground and had
nothing to do with tn treatment or the
case. However, DR.. Clough evidently
took exception to the item and SENDS
in the following correction which Is
cheerfully made. for 1t was far from
any intention to reflect upon his pro-
fessional services In the remotest de-
gree He says, to start out. please
publish this correction from fiction TO

error In stating that the local physic-
ian made any such auto run as was
recorded.) "On the late evening of

BUYING AT HOME

The subject of the local mer-
chant and the duty the citizens
owe in patronizing the local
shops is one that always should
command serious attention.
First of all the local merchant
is citizen, a resident of the COM
munity; he pays taxes along with
you for the upkeep and improve
ment of the community; heI
raises his family and sends his
children to school schools
which he helps, with you, to
maintain. If he is butcher, he
buys clothes and shoes from a
fellow-merchant, but no matter
what his line of business, he
spends money with other BUSH
ness men of the community. He
banks in local banks; he takes
his family of evenings to local
shows. Summed up, the money
he makes in the community is
spent in it.
Were it not for your local mer-
chant there would be less prog
ress and prosperity in the COM
nunity, He is here day in and
day out, rain or shine, giving his
time and energy and money to
whatever will benefit the city and
county, taking part in the adj
ministrations of the community
or aiding to regulate the admin
istration for the community's
best interests by his vote. Is he
not. then, entitled to considera-
ton?
But there is something more
than call for loyalty to him as
citizen to citizen, as neighbor to
neighbor. Living here as he
does. the local merchant comes
to know his customers. They
are not to him "just customers"
but fellow citizens" AS he will
be here tomorrow and the next
day and next year, meeting his
customers face to face, day after
day, his business gets his per-
sonal attention - every transac-
ton is a personal dealing be-
tween him and the patron. He
is in himself a guarantee of his
goods and prices and service be-
cause he is always at the same
stand meeting largely the same
customers.
The local merchant cannot ex-
list upon the patronage of tran
sients-his livelihood comes from
permanent residents; his aim is
to make permanent residents
regular customers. He must do
this-hence his wares, his prices
and his service are all and always
arranged and held to this end.
You never heard your live
wire, wide-awake home merch-
ant say, ooh, we'll, one customer
more or less makes no differ
ence." Every customer, to him.
is important; new customer is
eagerly sought, and customer
less-well. your local merchant
will not let it happen if anything
just and reasonable under the
sun will prevent such thing oc-
curing.
So not alone out of a sense of
loyalty to the community, but
for your own sake-for the sake
of your purse and the satisfac-
ton of being given personal at
tention-buy of our home merch-
ant.
