eXceptions) has something to say
about "hardtimes," tight money"
etc, and if you were to "catch on"
to thecomplaintyou would be about
as gloomy rs the most of the peo-
pie appear to be. [ have a short
truthful story to tell in your paper,
and hope it may aid the wise men
in our State to arrive at the cause
and the remedy for hard times now
complained of.
In 1867 | found myself on a fair
average farm, Just where l am now
writing to you, with one good mule,
a broken-down army horse, fair
set of farming implements, mostly
second hand, but without q dollar
Of credit and just S6,75 in cash.
1t was the last week in January,
and the time was come for us to
pitch our crops" for theyear. I
had a small quantity of corn, about
enough with economy to feed my
stock and give my family meal for
four or five months. Times were
then hard with me sure enough.
My near neighbor was a little bet
ter off, but not as much so as I
thought him to be at the time. We
were talking over the matter when
he informed me that he was going
to Gadsden the next day to make
some arrangements for credit to en-.
able him to make his crop, and ask
ed me to go with him and see what
| could do. We went to town. Il
wasn't long before my neighbol
had secured his credit with note
and mortgage, which he was tC
trade out during the year.
| tried to do the same, but it was
no go. The merchants did no
know me, and [ could not make
the security they demanded. Well
we went back home together, my
neighbor, with a smart load of ba
con, flour, coffee, sugar, and DIR,
goods and shoes for the children
with a dress for his wife, and
Sunday coat for himself. My wag
on was empty and [, disconsolate
with nothing to take to my fresid
but a heavy heart and a will t,
work. | told my wife all about m,
failure to get credit, and we talke,
the matter over and over until nea
midnight.
"Well," she said, "Tom, we hav
got two good COWS, some hens an,
few pigs, a good garden and tn
best Of health. SO we will stay a
home and get our credit from on
work"
Bless her soul, she was the wis
est woman, | think, that ever live
on earth, and among the best VIII
ever went to Heaven.

Of the year [ had 7 good bales c
cotton, 240 bushels of corn, ha
saved 1920 pounds of bacon, bank

potatoes; while my good wife ha
Sl460 made from her eggs, chicl
ems, butter, honey, and besides ha
bought herself a summer dress an
bonnet and cloth enough to max
the under garments for all IL
children. And best of all, l di
not owe a man on earth a cent.
My neighbor who had the cred
