t:et Your Greenbacks Ready.

AS the cotton crop begins to reach
the market, the tine arrives to square
up-this is the first duty of every
One-to settle all debts, and get ready
for a new year. What your pockets
will lose in weight by the operation,
will be fully compensated by the in
creasing Weight of your character for
honesty, thrift and punctualily. Pay
the prcacher-pay the mcrchant-pay
the doctor-pay the lawyer-pay the
blacksmith-pay the hireling-and
last but not least pay the Prihter.--
Having settled with all these, your
conscience will more than reward you
it will Positively render YOU happy.
You will then have no need Of shrink
ing and lodging around street corners,
or coming into town by back alleys
and deserted streets. No. No. You
Won't lie afraid to meet any body
Don't be afraid to retrench your per-
sonal expenses to pay your debts
Wear your old coat little longer, and
use the money to satisfy the claims of
q worthy creditor equally as needy as
Yourself. Retrencbnent is the motto
If you expect to pay your debts, and
eat and wear and drink and waste and
throw away, just like you used to do,
you are deceiving yourself and impos-
ing on others. BY all means, quit
stdnSi';g on your friends Don't say
lend me a V or an Y, and III pay you
back in few days. when you know
and every body knows, that you don't
intend to do any such thing. Come,
it's shameful. Promises arc made 10
be broken-but not under circumstan-
ccs that would lead any man to i'm
peach your integrity. More, quit
making promises, that every one
knows, are as hollow as the wind, and
as empty as fools pate. When a
man, every time he meets us, is trying
to gull us with promises instead of
forking over the needful. we inimeti-
atelv set him down as Arazen faced
impostcr, who would steal, were it not
for fear. More than one of these
dear Gents have crossed our path
within the last few years, and we
have them spotted, and marked down
in the catalogue OF scampology.
Besides, there is growing senti-
ment, that it is smart--bri!liant, and
real good joke to overrcach and
cheat a ncighbor. Well, it may be in
the eyes Of your father, if you care to
claim the relationship in the direction
in which your condiict ihclines you.
Let US expose the root Of your rot.
te1ness, and the source of your mean
ness. 1t is this: You are too vGfu
to come down to your proper level
and too fond of dressing and splurg

over, for we have studied your case
we have taken your pgmy dimensions
and can cut your jacket to nicely

thereby deprive our qiill Of ,a-bitine

ready been cut, and good share OF the
wheat will be in sheaf by Saturday
evening. The latter crop will be q
good one-above the average OF several
yesrs past. Hay will be little light
in most places. and quite 30 in those
special localities surrounding US, where
drought has prevailed. The same may
be said OF oats. Az for the growing
corn it never promised better in this
immediate section, at this stage; but in
neigh ghborhoods adjoining (where the
people are quite as just and quite as
unjust as we are) the corn is very
backward. By reason of the want OF
rain. Potatoes; well, the very dory-

them; though where the plague has
been well tough pretty good crop will
be obtained.
