The Credit system.


The present method of doing bushes,
by means of the credit system, prevails
in all parts of the country, and natur.
ally the question arises What is this
credit system?" The banner obtains
ADVANCES which are usually in the shape
OF goods, on which the merchant natur-
ally charges large profits TO compensate
for the risk he is forced to take. AMMAN
buying goods on credit is quite sure TO
buy more than if he pays as he goes,
and 1t thus happens that the bulk of his
crop Is often mortgaged before it is
made. The merchant generally makes
great deal of money, on paper. but his
means can seldom be converted into
cash. In a season like the present one,
when prices are very near the cost of
production, II they are not actually be-
low IL, the result Is serious in the ex-
IRENE. The farmer cannot pay the
merchant, the m reliant cannot pay the
manufacturer, and the next season will
De spent IN The endeavor to relieve the
present disaster. In contemplating this
pltnel system OF agriculture, one Is
forced to ask the question: Does it pay2
10 this question there can be only one
answer. 1t does not pay it leaves the
country no richer from year to year.
The farmer who works on credit Is a
Yassal of soil, and for him the sun of
freedom will never rise. Generally a
failure of crops always shows how ut
terly rotten this system is We cannot
expect to escape at snce from the power
OF influences which have swayed a great
population through generation after
generation, but a persistent ana I'M
dlnching proclamation of the truth will
have its effect. If a southern
man possessed theeloquence of De
nostbenes, he could make no no, Ter
use OF his divine gifts than by preaching
TO his people an utter and inextinguisb
able hatred of debt in every form. =

About Maryville College.

Rev. DR.. r. w. Patterson, in a
letter from his "native Tennessee"
to the New York Evangelist, SAYS
that Maryville College has now
more students on its catalogue than
ever before. The completion of
the $lO0,OOO fund two or three years
ago, has added largely to its capac-
ity for usefulness. 1t is doing a
great work for the cause of Chris
tian education in Tennessee. It's
faculty consists of industrious and
capable men, and its students,
though generally from the poorer
class of the people, give promise of
high usefulness, a large proportion
of them being Christians, and many
looking forward to the ministry.
The above we clip from an ex-
change. 1t will be remembered
that DR.. Patterson is an old bene-
factor of Maryville College and re-
Gently visited it and friends here.

ing Nine Mile. Again they were
told it would be impossible, that it
would swim the horses and float off
the hack-bed. ETC., etc. The escort
then called a halt for a consultation,
and on vote being taken it was
carried by large majority "That
they adjourn to some farm house
for dinner" The motion was no
sooner carried than they proceeded
to put it in operation. A farm
house was attacked. The hungry
looks of the party were startling
to the good lady of the house, but
her natural hospitality would not
allow her to turn them away. She
set before them In due time a boun-
tiful repast. The table was groan-
ing with good things when the par
ty sat down, and when they arose
the table was no longer groaning.
Another vote was then taken and
it was determined to wait for Nine
Mile to run down.
About one o'clock the balance of
the party started from town. They
also proceeded without incident
even until they reached the Spring.
They reached Nine Mile, they
crossed Nine Mile about the mid
die of the afternoon. The water
came up almost to the horses knees.
