While other towns north, south,
east and west are boasting about
what they are doing, we would like
to say a word about Manchester. This
town is not now, never did and we business-like
hope it never will “boom.” It just the farmer g
goes along keeping pace witli the that there is
growth and development of the vast another mei
territory tributary to it, and never *come?
jumps a cog in its onward movement.
A careful glance at the columns of
the Journal shows that its business
men as a rule are alive and wide-
awake, while they carry big stocks of
everything the country demands and
their prices on nearly all lines are from
five to fifteen per cent below any
orher competing point. This is one
of the great secrets of Manchester’s
success, and to this alone is due the
fact that we so often see people from
points tributary to other towns in our
stores trading. It not only pays to
come to Manchester to trade, but it
pays also to look the Journal’s ad-
vertising colums over carefully before
doing so. Manchester is alright.
The farmers’ meetTiiff called for
last Saturday at the Opera house was
a dead failure, less than a half dozen
farmers responding to the call. The
object of the call was to get the
farmers together to talk over the
marketing of their grain—wheat in
particular—and to determine whether
or not it would be advisable to erect
a farmers’ elevator in time to handle
tlie next crop. Just why the farmers
of any community should fail to re-
spond by their presence under a call
of this kind is more than we can tell.
There is no one to be benefited by or
through such a meeting but them-
selves, and if it will not pay them to
meet and exchange ideas on matters
of this kind, then we are sadly mista-
ken as to what would lie the proper
course for them to pursue in looking
after their own best interests. Meet-
ings o£,this kind are gotten up neither
for political nor personal gain on the
part of any individual, but for the
good of the whole farming communi-
ty, and we yet want to see a represen-
tative meeting of the farmers held at
Manchester for the purpose of talking
