BANKSVILLE BUDGET.
The weather is very changeable ; cloudy
one day and clear the next , and no chance to
sow grain yet as has been the chance in past
seasons.
There seems to be a shot at the farmers
quite frequently to trade with home merch
ants , as much as to say that the farmers do
not think on that subject of building up
home institutions. Our townsmen will pro
bably find by proper investigation that the
farmer has as much .interest in the prosperity
of the town business as the trade has in the
prosperity of the fanner. Lots of trades
men do not stop to consider that each little
advance given to the farmer for his products
is directly turned into the trade.There should
be much sympathy connecting the farmer
with the trade , for we can notice that when
the farmers have produce that they can turn
into cash that the tradesmen have plenty of
business , but now they have plenty of time
to sweep , dust , place and replace their goods.
