How the Catalogues Lure Buy ers VVith Deceptive Cuts. imUtiZilT FOR HOME TRADE The Man Whs Sends Money Away For Qooo'a Could Buy at Local Stores Strikes at the Very Root of His Own Prosperity?Hints to tho Wise. The head, the hoof and the hide of the mail order business is tho cata logue, and the meat of the catalogue is the picture. Ja these voluminous books the larger catalogue .houses pic ture everything from a hog ring t<> ? portable sawmill. They picture things which they have and which they have not Everything goes in thls?great book /of books. If they have not the real thing that the picture represents, they June something* "just as good anil cheaper," says'a writer in'Maxwell's Tali?nian'. < They invite you to send in your money, for this Is strictly a cash in ad vance proposition. If they have not what you order they will send you something e'se. but l>o sure, to send your money So with your order. That Ik important. You will have no oppor tunity to exami.Qe the goods ami com pare the quality with other grades, but what of that? It is such an .exciting moment when you come to open tlie i bag and see the color of the cat The catalogues are sent to every fam . ily .where tbere Is a possibility of se- 1 ? curing an order. And these picture , laxtks, supplemented by persistent ad Ycrtisiag In the agricultural and reli , gious journals, keep a constant stream of money (lowing from tho legitimate channels of trade into the coffers of these catalogue concerns. . The business policy of the old grange , movement was shortsighted, and the ? . results prored ft to be impracticable. , It was bora of prejudice aud a miscon ceptlun of the organic laws of trade. The country needs the town as much as. the town ne?ds the country. And the middleman is an essential cog in . the wheel of everyday trade. To cut out the retail merchant and business men generally In the country town is to destroy the. small trade and social routers, the prosperity and growth or which will always determine the value of farm property iu their vicinity. The < nearer a farm is to a consuming mar ket the greater becomes the earning j power of each acre and consequently the greater its value hi the general market The catalogue mail order Idea Jf carried on Mo its ultimate conclusion would wipe out every village and small towo nod leave nothing but Individual ''farms aud a tew iarge distributing centers, with a complete monopoly on I the essential commodities. Local cen ters of consumption that now furnish the market for a large per cent of the farm products would disappear from the map. nml.the social aud educational advantages afforded Iu a large com munity could be found only in a cata logue center, and there would be no need for more than one of them. The greatest trust hti the world is the ideal .catalogue mail order combination, rt covers every possible field of trade and btpo'xs uo competition. Civilization as we know it is based upon reciprocal obligations, in the or dinary course of trade the local mer chant furnishes a market for the small .'er produce of the farm and also pro vides a reasonable assortment of goods for the use and convenience of the community, for these accommoda tions the community is under c re ciprocal obligation to give * him the preference of trade?at least to give -'? him a fair chance to compete for that trade. This principle is recognized by the community when it demands that pctld'ers^take out a license. The man who sends his money away from tita home town for goods that ho can buy at the local store loses more than ho can possibly gain. He strikes air the very root of his own prosperity. It Is a penny wise and pound foolish busluess. Every hundred dollars setil out of the county reduces the work ing capital of the county just that roach. A prosperous country town in dicates n prosperous rural co. ..nuntty. ? your low us look seedy and ciikept if the "For Rent" signs in Hie store windows stare yon in the face, if tho j merchants are discouraged, what Is the cffe:t .00 farm properly- what does the stranger, the investor, if you j please, tbiuu of the community In gen-; oral? AY"111 be luvest his money In a community that Is not true to itself? The thinking man knows that the price of farm rerl estate depends as much irpon its nearness u? a good live town as it docK upon the producing power of the soil. Village improvement. The state grange of Massachusetts, comprising over 200 individual granges with a total membership of about ?t.OOO. has decided to make village im provement a regular part of its work in the future. The grange tints admits the value, of improvement work and gives to it a broad interpretation, in eluding among the proper fields for development the general environment, the home, the individual, the farm, the neighborhood and the town. The desire to co-operate with all other forces /or the Improvement of civic Conditions also expressed. The end ia view, "an increase in the beauty and attractiveness" of the towns of the stale, is commendable, says Max well's Talisman. By this alone may Jht: lov?n compete with the city and cease to be decadent The grange has already done good work in this field in individual cases, and this broader movement promises much. Hol Weather Cone. Summer is gone and we are not likely to have any more hot weather this year, it has been quite cool for some time now. and it is predict ed that we will have au early frost. Wo do not want it too early as our farmers want their peas and other, crops to mature before it comes. j Stands the Tost.

Farmers May Quit Cotton iu Roll Weevil Eelt. A movement has been put on fool among the farmers in that section of ' southwest Mississippi infested by [tue Mexican boll weevil to point a minimum cotton acerage next year, and devote the major portion of till able land to corn, cat^. forage crops and truck products. The movement has the backing of the Farmers' Union and Is com mended by the special agents of the ("nited States department of agricul ture, .who are employed in that sec tion of the state and who hold that a rotation of crops fs imperative aa ouo of the measures for thb sup pression of the pest. The weevil has played havoc with the-crop in the counties of Jeffer son. Ainite, Adams, Wilkinson and Franklin, ffOft it fs predicted, that be fore tbe ed of ths present month it will outer tbe counties of Hinds, Lincoln, Pike and Cbplabr. This is the condition fir Sffsslssip jpi, but it is only a question of a short time wh^en the same condition will have to be faced by South Carolina farmers. The Boll" weevil is steadily marching this way and it will not be long before lie wilf be knocking at 'our door. So our farmers may as well get ready for the pest by planting something else besides cot ton. The boll weevil has come to stay. SIGH FOR HOME. Wants a Real Good Bait of Hog; and Hominy.

A friend who was standing near supplied the ' information- and" tbe Senator was effusive in his thanks. "Well, sir, I've had a hard time to get something to eat over Here. You know a man used all his life to our Southern cooking just naturally rraves for something that has corn in it. I don't eat beef and I have the hardest time everywhere I have been trying to explain what 1 meant by breakfast bacon, but as for corn bread and hominy grits, why, sir, I haven't been able tov lind a trace- of them anywhere, so I just thought if 1 could . only find somebody to tell me where I could get some corn meal I would take it to my stopping place and show the cook how, to make a nice, yellow pone of corn bread or an ashcake.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured, by local a tpiication, as they cannot reach tbe disease portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deaf ness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an infiamamcd condition of tit" mucous lining of the ustachian rube. When this tube is inllamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hear in-.;, and when it Is entirely closed. Deafness is tho result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal con dition, hearing will be destroyed for ever: nine eases out of ten are caus ed by Catarrh, which is nothing but an Inflamed condition of Lhe hucous surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dol lars for any case of Deafness (caus ed by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free. F. J. CHENEY (c CO.. Toledo, O.
