What a predicament for the live
retail merchant! No way; of teUr
ing store news to tne families of
the town.' No way to reach the
rural resident with announce
ments of special interestji from

news would be denied ' the poor

too late, rvcould he . realize the

While some of the . village
dealers overlook their opportu
nities in this regard, yet there
are' many of the wideawake
merchants in the smaller r ham-
lets who have seen a light and
are rapidly coming into line. J "
Fqr years past the country
merchant has. seen those - who
were his legitiniate customersf
returning:rirpmt.'a"tripvf.to'the

country merchant been "-. opened
and the truth has dawned upon
hiin, that by atlvert;sing in the
town paper which . circulated in
his section, he might keep his
customer at .home and greatly
increase his trade. ; ;
The truth of this awakenin is
shown' by the fact that; of late
years, most jof the town:- papers
contain the advertisements of
the general stores in the ; adjoin
ing hamlets, indicating that . the,
cross-roads merchant . is now
joining his more fortunate broth -
