Town and farm ties key to town prosperity and fair trade
An author named E. M. Lunn argues for mutual respect between townspeople and farmers to build a thriving local market. He recalls gatekeeping shopkeepers who favor cash trades over barter, and criticizes class snobbery by town women toward farmers wives. The piece ends with community notes on local politics, school term start, and assorted notices from Elgin, Sept. 2, 1905.
