The man who kindles the fire with the catalogues from the department stores, and gives all his trade to his homo merchants, is the man who helps to put a better value on your property. The more a town grows, and the more business it does, the greater the increase in the value of property—both city and farm. The man who patronizes the city department stores in preference to hit* home merchants, thinking that he may thereby save a few p nnios, is simply detracting from the wealth of his own oom J m unity.

MEN AND THEIR HAIR. ieM That Puzzle the Barber Wh<i \otiee* Thins*. The secretive, taciturn barber was finally induced to talk. He remarked: “I’ve noticed one peculiarity about my customers that 1 could never quite explain the less hair a man has tbe more attention he pays to it. “There’s a man who comes in here nearly every week for a hair cut. and if 1 shaved him dean from the back of his collar to his forehead you’d never know that I’d touched him. He’s got a short, light colored fringe that plays around under the rim of liis bat like the soft, fluffy fringe you see on ‘hose shawls tlie women wear over their shoulders, but you’d think, t > hear him. that he could braid it and do it up in coils. Wants me to be particular and trim it close on the neck and I around the ears. I buinar him. of course. 1 take a handful of somebody else’s hair and sprinkle it on the cloth I put on him, and then I snip the air gently for ten or fifteen minutes and make a great ado when I whisk him off. "And when he leaves the ehair and says he mustn’t let It grow so long again I say it was pretty long. 1 hope the Lord will forgive me. Nine out of every ten of the baldheiids arc that way, lint me:i who’ve got plenty of liair will keep away from here until they look like edges of an old fashioned hayloft. It’s curious, and. as I said, I never could account for it.’’—Providence Journal. Shvppuril kn m Trvl. Jack Sheppard had a great hold upon the imagination of the people of his time. The la. t that 2iio.(i<:o people witnessed his execution nt Tyburn on Nov. is, 1724. "upon the tree lliat bears twelve times a yeare" is some witness to his grim popularity. But one of the Strangest tributes ever paid iiitn was the sermon preached upon him in a Loudon church. "Oh. that ye were all like Jack Sliep pard!” Legau the preacher, to the stupefaction of bla congregation. He wont on to draw a parallel between things of the flesh and tlsise of the soul and to point out that the genius shown in housebreaking might have been bestowed upon "picking the locks of the heart with the nail of repentance." hiMI Work.

The word "ye,” as it appears in all old books and legal documents, should al ways be pronounced as "tbe.” the "y” being only a corruption of the thorn letter, a symbol which stood In place of “tit” and which was formerly used by printers when difficulties were experienced in “spacing out.” Notice, to the people of Union township, who have business with the trustee, you will find me by mail route 12, Decatur, by phone, Monroeville line 154, or personally at my home on Tuesday, which wil be mv office day until further notice is given.
