ity and will toon be as good a town as In
its palmiest daya. .Much of this is due to
the fact that its enterprising business

their town ahuont world-wide notoriuty.
With very few exceptions those In bus
iness there are thorough business men,
who have the welfare of their town at
heart and know how to keep up with
the procession of thrift aiid enterprise.
Those who want the trade ask fur it

natural ia right." . V
A lawyer ina courtroom may call ' a
roan a liar, scoundrel, villan, or a thief,

hand. Thia it owing to the fact that
the people believe what an editor sayt;
what tbe lawyer aays cuts no figure.

waa hastily summonsed and tbe boy

, A good Btory ia being told of a young
lady not many miles from Condon who
found a package of love letters that had
been written to her mother by her father
before they were married. The daugh
ter saw that she could have a little sport.
and read them to her mother, eubetitu
ting her own name for that of her moth
er, and a fine young man for that of her
father. The mother jnmped np and
down in her chair, shifted her feet and
seemed terribly disgusted, and forbade
her to have anything to do with the
young man who would write such sick
ening and nonsensical stuff to a girl.
When the young lady banded the letter
to her mother to read the house became
so still that one could hear the grass
grow In the back yard.- - -
The Credit System. i
We are not running a business college
nor do we feel prepared to give lessons
to business men, but it does seem to us
that there ia one very bad habit prac
ticed in all business matters of our
whole country, one which works a (rent
hanlship to the seller and the honest
buyer. We allude to the credit system.
Experience haa shown na that the
creditor must lose a certain per cent of
hla debts on account of the buyer's fail
ure to pay. Thia works a hardship on
the buyer who pays, for the seller must
sell bin gooda atan advance sufficient to
these losses. Therefore, the man who
paya his debts must pay a certain per
cent of tbe debta of the men who do not
pav.
tJnder the credit system, all eapcri
encehat proven that men almost all
men will purchase goods under a credit
system which they would not bny if
they paid the cash. How much totter
would the condition of our country , be if
no man owed a cent. Lot us admonish
our people to think upon this subject.
