THE SOCIAL LIFE OF A COMMUNITY. If you live in a country town and you have sickness or other finrl vnnrself hard un. your neighbors will take hold and do needed jobs of work for you, or pass around a , subscription paper. But if you live in a larger place, you may j have hard luck and no one will know or care about it. There ; ought to be in every community a spirit of watchfulness on the ; part of comfortable and well to do people, to look out for cases of misfortune and privation and loneliness. People who have been favored with the good gifts of life, ought not to sit down in ease, and comfort, while others are getting barely enough to eat or lack , for warm clothing. There ought to be active agencies circulating around among humble and struggling people and looKing out ior cases where the helping hand is needed. The friendships of life ought not to be merely between people of the same so-called class. The majority of prosperous people look for associates among people of the same strata. They are interested only in those who have money and can make social returns for favors offered. The generous hearted family will seek earnestly to keep up friendships among people who have been less fortunate. It will ignore differ ences of wealth and so-called social position, and will realize that the hard workinz family is far more interesting and worthy than people who live in semi-idleness. The churches and fraternal j societies watch carefully over the interests of their less fortunate, members. They should offer tangible help generously and should give just as cordial handshake to the man with shabby clothes, as to people whose garments reek with luxury. If this spirit can j pervade a town, the life of the city will not be spoiled by senti ments of social antagonism, and every element in the community ; will be able to contribute something to the progress of the com-, munity. j PROMOTING CREDIT FACILITIES. When the business men of a city, or individual among them, . cherishes an ambition to build up a bigger trade, for themselves' and the community, the practical thing that often holds them back' is the matter of credit. There are a gre.it many men who have enterprise and industry and push, but who are held back because; of their lack of capital, and ability to get credit. There is one way ; in which a man's credit is improved, and that is by a policy of j consistent advertising. Bank men believe in advertising. Their usual feeling is, when a merchant who is a good advertiser applies j for a loan, that a reasonable amount of goods bought by him on ; such credit, is likely to be turned over quickly and promptly paid for, on account of his methods of keeping his goods constantly, before the public. They would have confidence that the goods would be disposed of and turned into cash before they get out of i date or shopworn. The store that advertises consistently creates1 n reputation and a good will that must be a help to a merchant in getting the credit with which to build up his business. Bankers do not like to tie up money in non-liquid stock. If they loan money on any kind of merchandise they want to see that stock go through the process of sale promptly, in a minimum of time, so that the loan can be paid off and the mcney used to finance new enter prises. Any merchant therefore who is ambitious to expand and lacks the capital to do it with, takes a long step toward gutting' accommodation when he creates a public good will through adver tising. Also a town in which advertising is liberally done, is more apt to go ahead, because the merchants get in the habit of quick turning of capital, which encourages the extension of credit. j 1 In the death of Joseph Sheridan yesterday this city witnessed the passing of another worthy pioneer, one who had been identi fied with the early development of this section of the slate and had witnessed Roseburg develop from a mere village to a thriving city. He had a hand in the city's initial growth and his long resi dence here had endeared him to hundreds of our best citizens who held the deceased in the highest esteem. Mr. Sheridan in his quiet, unassuming manner brought out many fine traits of character that held for him the respect of a large circle of warm friends. He was a citizen any community might well feel proud of, and his death removes from our midst a pioneer of sterling qualities'. o The passage of the federal act of 19.0 providing for develop ment of water powers, is encouraging many capitalists to go ahead on this class of projects. The number of applications for such development for the past six months equals the total of all applications for the preceding 15 years. Every such a develop ment means a lower cost tor powt r now generated by io;d or other fuel. It enables many industrial districts to get along with little coal. Investors should be encouraged to put money into a kind of project that reduces costs for all that use it, and the product of which must sell better and better as the country grows. , o The old-timers never will tieionie accustomed to (lie fact that young men and women now liUuss freely among themselves at the dance or over the card I..M, s subjects that grandmothers used to get into corners and t.,!k about in wlii.-pers. i(OI CI KXIMi FOLKS Now Unit it l uhout time lo select your .inan tree we ran ecct to hear some mil family ru.
