last ono is a nephew of her first husband.—Waiikegan (Ills.) Dispatch.
A   Good   Citizen   Spends   His    Money
Among the Local Tradesmen.
The member of community who habitually ignores his home merchant,
mechanic or tradesman and makes his
purchases and spends -his money in other towns does not deserve the name of
good citizen and should not be countenanced by those who have the best interests of their own locality at heart.
That it pays to trade near home is a
well established fact, and no town or
city ever prospered whose citizens, enticed by the alluring baits held out by
the merchant in the big cities, spend
their money with them.
The local merchant and mechanic
are interested in the progress and development of the town and country in
which they live, and every dollar they
amass is reinvested and remains in the
neighborhood. As they prosper their
taxes increase, and just so much those
of others are lightened. They assist
in keeping up your schools, churches,
and other public institutions and charities. But the person who spends his
money in some distant city puts it beyond any local enterprise. The man in
the city npon whom you bestow your
custom has no further iuterest in you
or your surroundings than the cash he
receives from you. It is no concern of
his whether you are as devoid of social,
church or educational privileges as the
inhabitants o£ BorrioboolaGha, or
whether your streets or highways are
well made or an aboriginal Indian trail.
The surplus money which he has to bestow will go to enrich the exchequer of
institutions from which you will never
receive any benefit and to add to the
wealth of communities in which you
have no financial interest.
And, further, there is no'good reason
for this impolitic and unbusinesslike
diversion of trade. The business men
in the smaller cities and towns can and
do sell goods year in and year out as
cheaply as do those of the larger cities.
The lower expenses, cheaper rent and
inmunity from the exorbitant municipal taxes which prevail in the great
cities, enable them to do so and still
make a living profit. But the shrewd
city merchants, by advertising certain
goods at ridiculously low prices, manage to attract gullible patrons to their
places of business, with the knowledge
that they will succeed in. selling them
other goods at advanced prices to reimburse themselyos for the loss on the
"leader" and leave themselves a handsome profit.
The home merchant is established
here aud expects to pursue his busi-'
ness among us indefinitely. The continuance of his trade is dependant upon
this fair and uniform treatment of hit
customers and tho quality of his goods.
His field is limited and should he resort to shady methods or foist dishonest wares upon his patrons his reputation would be lust and his trade consequently gone. But the metropolitan
merchant has a wide and an almost unlimited field. His patrons are from
all parts of the country, and iE he can
get one "good deal" from each one he
does not expect them to return. The
ideal community is that in wtjicl; there
is a recipocracy of good feeling q,rnong
merchants in all branches of trade, mechanics professional men, workingmen
and farmers, each availing himself as
far aa possible of the other's services,
buying his goods or employing his labor, as the case may be. The community where this practice obtains is
always found to be an exceptionally
prosperous one, populated by cheerful,
honest, neighborly and enterprising
people, and a good -place for the home
seeker tp locate in.—Ypsilanti Sentinel,

July Crop Report.
The returns at hand indicate that
the wheat crop of the State this year
will be about 15 per cent less than the
crop of 1893. The reduction is entirely
due to decreased acreage. The farm
statistics returned by supervisors, so
far as compiled, show a loss of "-5 per
cent in the southern and northern
counties, and of 19 per cent in the central. The average yield per acre will
fall little if anything below the average of a long series of years. With
the crop yet standing correspondents
estimate as follows: Southern counties,
15.42 bushels; central counties, 15.74
bushels; northern counties, 16.13
bushels; State, 15.5Sbushels. The average yield per acre for the seventeen
years has been as follows: Southern
counties, 16.90 bushels; central counties, 15.42 bushels; northern counties,
13 62 bushels; State, 16.63 bushels.
The harvest will be largely done in
the southern and central sections of
the State tbis week, or by July 14.
The total number bushels of wheat
reported marketed by farmers during
the month of June is S66,361.
The total number of bushels of wheat
reported marketed in the eleven
months, August—June, is 14,29S,306,
which is 537,816 bushels more than reported marketed in the same months
last year.
The area planted to corn equals the
area planted iu average. years. The
per cent in the southern counties is 9S,
central 102, State 100. In condition
the crop ranges from 8S per cent in the
southern section to 97 in the northern.
The outlook for oats is promising. The
area planted to potatoes has been
largely increased throughout the state.
Compared with average years the increase in the southern counties is 8 per
cent; central, 12 per cent; northern, 10
per cent, and State 9 per cent. The
average condition is high, rangeing
from 95 to 99 per cent.
Clover meadows and pastures are in
bad condition, due to insect depredations. The timothy fields are in better
condition, but are much below a fair
average. Clover sowed this year promises well.
Apples promise about three-fourths
and peaches six-tenths of an average
crop. One year ago apples were estimated at only four-tenths of an average
crop.
-Washington Gardiner,
Secretary of State.
More than oue-fifth of the 133,000 inhabitants of St. Etieune, France, are
weavers and most of ths 1800 looms are
ownedby individual weavers- and worked
by hand in their own homes. The advantages of electric power are begin-
■ning to be appreciated, by these workers. A company bas established an
electric station eight miles from the
town, where a waterfall of 900 horsepower drives three turbines, and generates current which is transmitted
through four quarter-inch cables. A
recent report stated that 60 of these •
home looms were being driven by the
electric power, with a prospect of a
very large immediate increase in the
number. The cost of adding the electric power is about S~0 per loom, with
a charge of §2 per month for the current supplied; and an owner of two
electrically-driven looms declared that
he could turn out 25 per cent more
work than formerly. One of the large
ribbon factories of Etienne, also employes electric power, using a separate
motor for each of its 100 looms
and generating the electricity on its
premises by means of a large steam en-
gine.and two dynamos. The movement
produced is found to be more uniform
and gentle than -that obtained by steam
the first cost is not greater than that
where any other system is used, and
there"is a gain in economy of working
and maintenance.
