If tne mail order house con tinue to expand their business as they have been doing for the last teu years, there soon will be 00 room for the home merchant. These mail order houses sell everything from a paper of need les to a threshing machine and the deal almost exclusively with the country peoi le tor residents of the cities and towns are too shrewd to patronize them. It is a notorious f-ict that the goods they send out are what are known in the trade as "seconds'' but their country patrons do not seem to object to ttjat. A man who will spend a half ho ir exam ining a pair of shoes in a NewviKo store will send $17 to a Chicago mail order house for a suit of clothes uf which lie has seen the picture in a catalog. The suit when it comes is not equal to the ones he could have bought from his home merchant for $10. And so it is with every article. The houses which are furnished with mail oi der goods can be recoguiz at a glanco. There is, however, another side to the cise. The mailorder house spends immense sums of money in advertising and in sending out catalogs. About half of the home 'merchants would rather lose trade than to spend money in ad vertising. If a merchant in a smalltown spends from $50 to fcUHJayearm newspaper adver tising he thinks he is throwing away a little fortune. But if lie had good business judgment he would spend several times that amount aud center tne patronage of that neighborhood at his store instead of lettiug it go to New York or Chicago. We do not make that remark beciiuse of dis appointment, for this paper has a steady and dependable advertis ing patronage winch it could eas ily increase were the ed tor will ing to shorten the news letters or decrease their number. The homo merchant is being driven to the wall by those two influences, first his own lack of good business judgment and secoudlv the country patron's mis taken idea that he can get better bargains a'oroad than at home. The buyer who is wise will spend his money at the home Btore where he can hud aud examine the goods he wants to purchase Kim i . From Ihc Grave. A prominent manufacturer, Wm. A. Fertwell.of Lacama.N. C, relates a most remarkable exper ience. Ho says: "After taking less than three bottles of Klectric Bitters, I feel like one rising from the grave. Mv trouble is Bright's disease, iu the Diabetes stage. I fully believe Klectric Bitters will cure me permanently, for it has already shopped the Hv er and bladder comphcatU.nl which have troubled me for years." Guaranteed at Ti out's drug store.

Did you ever st p to think what that phrase "'.otb ing id the paper" means? It means that in the day or week past, no great misfortune has be fallen anyone in our tjwn; that no fire has wiped out a neighbor's worldly gotds; that the yum an gel of death has crossed no threshold of a friend; that no man driven by liquor, hatred or fear, has taken the life of a fellow hu man; that no poor devil, haunted by the past or misdeeds r.f some others, has crossed the divide iy his own hand; that mr ny things th t ought not to happen have not happened.
