T. K. Roberts, the founder of the
Gold Hill Miner, has disposed of his in
terest in the paper to his partner, E. E.
Phipps, who will continue the publica
tion of the sheet as a Peoples Party

The A dvertiser wishes the new’ man
agement success.
There exists betw’een Ashland mer
chants and townspeople a lack of co-
operation from which no benefit can
possibly be gained. The merchants are
most rigidly opposed to the people send
ing out of town for anything, but they
never stop to think that the merchants
themselves are to be blamed. Instead
of buying certain articles of commerce
from our home people, they send off for
them because they can buy them some
what cheaper. Vegetables and dairy
products come under this head. As a
natural consequence, the importation
effects the price of the home article,
and our home people, unable to find a
satisfactory market for their products at
home, are disinclined to patronize home
merchants when they can do as well or
better elsewhere.
If home merchants would make it a
point to find a market for home pro
ducts, home people would try to make a
market for the other things that the
merchants have to sell, and, in this way,
local business would increase.
