If he buys a cord of wood or a bushel of potatoes he know be ought to pay a little more than the market price. When a couple gets married or there is a church , festival rt cheerfully gives a couple of dollars worth; of notices free; but when there is a fifty cent job of printing, the printer js asked to bid.
