And te my own support!"

Era you refuse to twine ;

Bewoie, leit Fato shall link
You to a Spinster Man!
O change, ero 'tis too lato

Tbo tweeds the hat we hate,
For something soft and frilly !
Take off the stockings bine,
(We will avert our gaze),
Then will we drink to you
Long life aud happy days!

It is universally acknowledged that

fstturiug industries. Without going in
to the larger phatcs of this question, it
c:.n not be pointed out too often that
tho mannfaoturinc industries that we
have should rece:vo th hearty support
of aH our citizons.

whoro goodt nro in tho local markot in

Kv.ry citizen of Cooa county ou;ht
to give the preference to gooda made in
Co nj county.
Probably all realize this, but thoy of
ten foiset it. How many remember
when they buy matches or cigar;, mnt
tretses, shingles or cheese, to specify the
product of Coos tcunty factorict? Theso
nOoas all come in comictition with out
side gooda. The latter havo no advan
taac, either in price or quality ; in fact
the difference is in favor of tho native
Kocds. Then why shouldn't all Coot
county people buy tho homo goods,
keep tho money at home, employ home
labcr zzd build up tho home country.
