Now that our mercbants have spent their time and invested large amcunts of money in purch- asing their various lines of goods in order to place themselves in position to meet the wants of our home people, it is justly due them that we all givethem our entire patronage. The elegant lines displayed ought to more than sat— iaty the taste of even the most fastidious. The sooner a larger per cent. of our people come to realize that it isiargely to their sdvantage to trade with our home merchants and get the foolish notion out of their heads that it makes them look much bigger in the eyes of the people to make their purchas- esaway from: home, the sooner will they benefit themselves by building up a much larger home tradeand encouraging home er- terprises. By all means let us all quit this foolish practice of send- ing away for our goods when our wapts can be justly satisfied at home. The women are not the only ones that follow this disgusting fad, but many of the gentlemen: are also found inthe same boat. It would be suprising to kuow the amount of purchases male away from here ina year. We need all the money we have got right here, aid tet us invest it as home and keep as much of it here as yossible where all will be beaefit- ed to some extent at least aman Yellow Jack ‘Killed. -Cascarets, Candy Cathartic kills Yellow Jeck wherever they find him No one who takes Cascarets regularly and systematically is ?s danger from the dreadful disease.

Siace the late war between thé States the growth of both ns Of the county, in com- industry and population, bas been extremely rapid, and, on way of taking a correct federal ‘ census have corrékpondingly in- _ creased from year to year. As rt now stand, it is virtually! ie t i ee oe ode. Cae ‘ane a ah i oe Siac ia, Hbmwonsiopie Noam : 4 a BS he ae 1 Se seat has impossible to take a correct cen- sus of the nation’s growth under the existing system ; for so great is the amount of time and labor which the undertaking necessa- rily requires that when the cel- sus is at last completed it is al- together out of date, so far as many of its figures are concern- ed. The demands of the present day call for something more sat- isfactory: and, if a permanent census bureau is not establish- ed the existing system ought at least to be modified in such a way as tc overccme many of its present defects. Still another thing to be con- sidered is that under the presen’ system it is necessary to employ inexperienceu men eyery ten years to do the work which should fall to the lot of trained veterans. This inexperience not only causes long delay, but, what is much worse, it frequently gives rise to inaccurate results. With a permanent bureau these diffi- sulties could be readily over come, and census reports of a more reliable character coula be furnished to the country at much shorter intervals. But there is still another 1m- portant consideration. On the basis of economy a permanent census bureau should be estab~ lished. The present system may perhaps cost less, but to pay for something which fails to yield satisfactory results 1s not econo- my- Moreover. a permenent cen- sus bureau would hardly cost more in actual dcllars aad cents than the present cumbersome and antiquated system which has long gurviyed both its usefulness and ability. When the matter comes up before Congress it should receive makers. It will soon be time fer makicg” drrangements to cover the next regular census, and whatever action is taken by Congress, must be taken at cnce. —» en ling you to buy at one profit, Ajeouw- cle stoek of 3 FURNITURE» always on hand and soldat prices to suit the aay Our goods areall bought and gold for CASH therefore, having no 1 isk to run we sell at a close margin. 8, M, SCHULTZ.
