For sale by Smith A Callow. d Lew G. Ellingbatrl, editor and proprietor of the Decatur Democrat, spent Sunday in the city with relatives. Monday before leaving for home, he spent a few moment* at the D -mocrat office, where he is always a welcome guest. The Decatur Democrat under Mr. Ellingham’s management, is coming to the front as one of the leading democratic papers in the state. No exchange coming to our table is more highly prized than the Democrat. — Winchester Democrat. Did the farmer who buys his groceries or other goods of the traveling dealer ever stop to consider that upon the prosperity of his market town depends to a great extent the value of his land? Every dollar be •ends away helps that much to retard the growth of Decatur and lessen the value of adjoining real estate. Besides we believe that if our merchants were given a chance to bid on the same kind of goods and the same quantities that the traveling salesmen usually sell, they could furnish the goods at just as low a price. The next time a traveling merchant calls on you, make out an itemized accont of what you want, get his prices, then before you buy, take it to one of the merchants of Decatur and see if he cannot duplicate it for the same amount or less. A merchant can afford to sell a $25 or SSO bill of goods, bought at one time for cash, on a smaller margin than he can sell goods bought in small quantities.
