The business of this place has no doubt been badly injured by the World’s Fair. People who. have gone to Chicago to attend this great show, usually laid in a supply of dry goods, clothing, shoes, etc, while they were there, and invariably paying out the cash for them. Then they will come home and ask our merchants for time on articles they want to purchase. Is this right? We say no. The business men here buy your produce and other things you have to sell, and then you will turn right around and spend your cash somewhere else, when you should have dealt with your home merchant. We are almost positive that you can do as well by trading at home as by patronizing foreign houses. They are one among us and should be recognized as such. Manager Eger is booking some first class attractions for his opera house during the coming season. The next company to appear here is Duncan 'Clark's specialty combination, which is a first class attraction in every way. and especially to the bald heads.
