Owing to the general luck that prevails of exact knowledge of the topography of the lands bor dering upon the war centre, th situation of the towns, harbors, ports and countries which are men tioned daily in the cable dispatches in the North American, it is im practicable for the average person to gain a comprehensive notion of what is progressing in the far esat. Those who would gladly spend time in supplementing the tidings that are read by them in the news papers by researches in atlas or gazeteer are often prevented from doing this by lack of facilities. It is to place within the reach of such a means of watching the movements of the Russian and the Japanese Hoots and troops step by step as they immerse themselves in the struggle that has only just begtfn that the North American has prepared this map. To show its utility it is necessa ry only to think how few there are tli.it realize the immense expanse of land and water that go to make up the geographical details of the war. How many know that Russia, planning for decades a war of con quest which has for its object the gobbling of Manchuria and terri torial aggression in other parts of China, has expended nearly 400,- OOOjOOO in building the Trans-Siberian Railway from St. Peters burg to the shores of the Japan and the Yellow Seas? How many know that this road. G000 mile in length, is depended upon by the Czar to enable him to throw any part that may be nec essary of his 5,000,000 soldiers in to Manchuria and Lhina to crush by force of numbers any N nation that might resist him? How many realize that in order for the Czar to bring his Baltic fleet into the Yellow Sea it will be necessary for the vessels to sail 15,000 miles, skirting Europe, Asia and Africa How many chu tell otT-hand the relative positions of Korea, Japan, Manchura, China, Port Arthur. Patronize Hume. ' !Vp thy shop and thy shop will kwp thee," said Poor Rich aid. A truer axiom imvpr was iit'iM i'il, and what is tru of your -In. ( is trim of your town; fur livep your town and your town will keen you. So Don't go out of town to shop. P.itnmzo homo merchants, for tlmy etui serve yon better and cheppor than those of other cit ies. This is logical, reasonable aud readily understood. Fii'erything from traction on giuos to darning ueedles, as well as all other nrticles of usefulness or luxury, can be purchased in McConnellsburg by the peoplo of our town and vicinity to far bet ter advantage than elsewhere. If you are not quite couvinced of this fact, give a local merchant the opportunity to demonstrate it to vou, and we will guarantee he can and will prove it to you over and over again to your per fect satisfaction and perhaps surprise. We have known it to be done frequently. Shopping in other cities than your own is a delusion when it comes to values. While the price of Chicago houses may seem lower, do you consider the freight or express you must pay, or the fact that yon buy and, pay for the article bt;f.re you see it, a thing you would not do with your most trusted home merchant. Pride sometimes prompts it, yet of what should a person be prouder ttiau of his or her own city ? Business men of other places covet your trade, of course, and they are to bo commended in their endeavor to get it; but when yon buy, buy at home. Local dealers aro more anxi us foi' your patronage thpn any out side tirrn, and will do more to please you and keep it than any man who has absolutely no inter est in your town, your muuicipali ty, your ovvu business, and yourself.
