SPEND YoUR MONEY AT HoME.-It is

There is no way of improving a
place so much as by encouraging
good merchants, good schools and
good people to settle among you, and
this cannot be done unless you spend
your money at home.


Spend your money at home because
there is where you get it. 1t is your
duty.


Spend your money at home, be-
cause when it is necessary for you to

merchants; they can and will keep
better assortments and sell at lower
rates than if the only business they
can do is what is credited out, while
the money goes to other places.


Spend your money at home. Set
the example now. Buy your dry
goods, groceries, meats and every
thing at home and you will see a
wonderful change in short time in
the business outlook of the place,
therefore deal with your home mer-
chants.


Spend your money at home. Your
merchants are your neighbors, your
they stand by you in sick
ness-are your associates; without
your trade they cannot keep up busi-
ness. No stores then, no banks, no
one wanting to buy property to settle

And we will further add, that all
who have printing Of any kind to do
should get it done at homo instead of
sending it off, thereby contributing to
the prosperity and usefulness Of their

able auxiliary in building up home in

The influence of the movement of the hur-
ricane through the Atlantic Ocean is now
felt at New York, the prevailing northeast
wind being tangental to its circumference.
We do not, however, experience gale, be-
cause the storm centre is very distant south
eastward from this city. Key West has been
swept by the western quadrant OF the hurri-
cane, which has followed the. axis of the
Gulf Stream and will probably be felt
on the coast of Europe during the
coming week. Eastward and westward
bound vessels on the Atlantic will be likely
to meet with heavy northeasterly and north
westerly gales if they come within the area
of the storm. The disturbance in the West
has moved enthusiastically toward Lake
Superior and the British territory, and an
immense rain area extends from Nebraska to
the Atlantic coast. New York is, therefore,
between two storm centres whose influences
are very widespread. Another storm centre
is developing in the Southwest, but it will,
probably, pass over the Gulf and South At
lantic States to the Atlantic. The weather
in New York to-day will be cloudy and
foggy and warm, with possibly light rain in
