If you want a cheap piano, I do not sell them. LET ME HEAR FROM YOU MINISTERS AND CHURCHES Rev. Wm. Tohnston has been 20 years pastor of Millbrook Presbyterian church. Why is money so scarce ? Why are my taxes higher with no visible visible results ? Why are our roads worse by tar than 20 years ago ? _ Why is there so little available help r Why are our towns and villages lifeless ? The reason, dear farmer is: You send your cash to the big mail order houses in the city; your sons and daughters can get no spending money at home, so they to - low the money you sent to the city; property property in the country which sold 20 years ago for four or five^thousand dollars, sells to-day, with good buildings added, for two or three. A higher rate must be struck to raise the same amount of taxes, which will only accomplish one half as much on account of high price of labor. Local merchants get little cash, conse-1 quently, as money makes the mare go, our towns and villages present a slow appearance. appearance. ' But how about the other end? City papers say, look at the great growth of our city, buildings going up by hundreds, business concerns becoming multi-mu- ionaires, etc., all at expense of surrounding surrounding country. All these things pile up enormous tax bills to make fine city streets, and large public buildings, and the same citizens point with pride and say, See what we have done, when, in reality, it is --who ? Country patrons of the mail order houses, think this over and see if it is safe to fatten this mercantile octopus which is swallowing your towns, «farms, sons, daughters and money. Dear people, think it over, and if it looks good, fill out another $25 order for the mail order house, and when you go to your nearest town to despatch it take a few dressed chickens, some butter and potatoes to let your local merchant have on the account that has been standing for several months, and have him stand the balance off until you sell that batch of hogs next March. It will cheer his heart, and help him well out with the sight draft due to-morrow for $35°- A COUNTRY MERCHANT- --Campbell ford New a. wzmmm I AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY Very BS PHONE 54 James Deyman, Agent, Bowmanville 0.
