M.was riiiht in Lis premises and made arrangements to have messenger service re-established. and t«» have two mails a day instead of four, as we had [ for some time. This hid to ho done or i the service at thi- p'aee discontinued. I After having had an "fii • her-- for over i tittv years, it wouid sc. in like {»oin}» J back to barbarism in have that j done.

Evans, the popular tailor of Oriftwood, was a business caller in town ; Monday. The dance held at the hall Saturday i evening, was very largely attended and passed off in an orderly manner. Quite a number of Driftwood and 1 Emporium people attended the ball game j Sunday. Rut us Baker and family are visiting j in the village. Mrs. Geo. llulsinger, of Renovo. spent j Sunday with friends in town. W. R. Smith of Huntley had business j in town last week. The Sterling Hun cyclones crossed bats ! with the Hicks Run club Sunday. The | score was 11 to 0 in favor of Hicks Run. j The Hicks Run battery were Brown and , Rakestraw; for the locals, Parker, Led- j inski and Morris. Brown of the Hicks | Run team pitched good ball aud had first | class support. The local pitchers were ■ given poor support. Never mind boys, j better luck next time. One of the inter- | _.est.i|){* features of the game; was the un to-date coaching given the home teaui by Stephen Bunce. Mr. Bance is a first clasa authority on base ball matters and has excellent judgment. Ilis perform ances was highly appreciated by the spec tators. Shakespeare says: If you wish to try the base ball stunts. Just tell your troubles to Steven Bunce; He knows how this game should be played. And to speak his mind he's not afraid. He knows the curves from A to Z, There's nothing to quick for his eye to see: A foul, a fly, a good fair ball, Or a three bag hit, he knows them all. So boys take heed to what he speaks, If many victories you would seek; For base ball coaching there is none, Like Steven Bunce of Sterling Run. .1. t\ S. HUNTLEY.

DEALER: Are you doing anything in the way J : of protecting your trade against "cata -1 log house" competition? If you are not, don't you know you j should? It your house should catch fire, you would try to put the fire out. If a burglar broke into your store, you would try to drive him away. Of course you would. Of course you would do what you could to protect your property. What property have you that is of greater value than your trade? If you | lose your trade, you lose everything. If the "catalogue houses" take your \ trade, it is because you let them take it It is because they goto your cus tomers, through the medium of their catalogues, and tell what thej' have to \ sell. Why do you not do likewise? Go after the trade and get it. A hot shot at the catalogue houses: | When the calogue comes from your | mail order house, draw an easy chair ! to the table where the light will shine I full upon the page, and put on your j glasses that no bargains may escape I your eye. What a wonderful book it is, to be j sure; wonderful for what it does not ; cantain as well as what it does. You | will miss some things you would be j glad to see. Where is their offer to pay cash or j exchange goods for your wheat, oats, | corn, beans, butter, eggs, and hay? How much do they pay for cattle, sheep and hogs, 112. o. b., at your depot? How much tax will they pay to support your schools and educate your children, for improving roads and bridges, the support of the poor of the country, for the expense of running the business of the township, county and state? On what page is their offer to con tribute money to the church? What line of credit will they extend to you when your crops are poor and money gone, when, through illness or misfortune, you are not able to send "cash with order" for your groceries, clothing, farm tools and crookery? Also stoves and ranges. Where is their offer to contribute to your entertainment next year? What did they do last year? In short, will they provide a market for what you have to sell and thereby keep up the valueof your estate? Will thej' do anything for social, church, school or government support, or do they take your dollar out of the com munity with no returns except the goods you ouyv Think this over carefully, then call on your local dealer, where you can see and examine the goods before you buy them, and by comparison of prices and quality you will see that you can do as well or better at home, and you keep the money at home, thereby helping to build up your local town. Meet "Catalogue House" Competi sion with Catalogue House Energy. It is all right for a body of merchants to get together and pass resolutions deploring the inroads of "catalogue house" competition and "Besolve" not to patronize manufacturers and jobbers who sell "catalogue houses". This is all right as it is a step in the right direction. But it is only one step. If further steps are not taken, this first step may as well not have been. Retail merchants should not patron ize manufacturers and jobbers who sell "catalogue houses", and taking this position will cut off the "catalogue house"of some certain brands of goods, but the "catalogue house" will get goods just the same, and will keep hammering at the consumer just the same. If, after passing these resolutions, which are all right, the retail merchants every one of them, would go home and devise ways and means, by ad vertising and otherwise, to bring his wares to the attention of the consumer as prominently as the "catalogue houses" do theirs, the "catalogue house" would receive a "body blow." Why don't yon do it. STATE OF OHIO,CITY OF TOLEDO, I LUCAS COUNTY. J Frank J. Cheney makes oath that he is senior partner of the firm of F J.
