There is but one way for any
man in business to be thoroughly
independent in its conduct, and
that is to have plenty of cash te
pay as he goes. 1t makes no diff.
ference then where he trades. He
can always command the bottom
prices as to quantity, whatever he
buys, and can take advantage Of
the markets whenever he pleases.
Of course, everybody knows al
this, bat it will do no harm to re-
mind our readers of it. Men some
times get to thinking that thef
credit is SO good that it makes NJ
difference whether they pay cash Of
not. But it does make difference

tall aud two and a half times as

to cut no logs above the lowest

In the territory Of Sslina, happened
last Tuesday morning. As the morn

switch caused the locomotive, tender
and two baggage cars to be thrown
clear Of the track and half Gver.
Jumping the track the engine plowed
its way through the dirt into the grade
Of the railroad crossing. dragging the
two cars after it. There the rowing
engine stopped. and the circus was
over. Fortunately nobody on the
train was injured, although the pas
sengers were badly "shook up" Sew
eral yards Of track were torn up by the
ploughing engine. The company al
ready has its derrick and other lifting
machinery on hand, and the engine
and cars. which are not much injured,
will soon be on the track again. The
temporary conductor and brakesman
Of the Mcpherson road have resigned.
1t is probable that they are held re-
sponsible for the accident, as theswitch
was in their charge, and. they thus give
up their positions to escape the walk.
