on thd other side of that city in the course
of twd months. for the purposs of running a
dairy and vegetable farm.
Yes\ Mr.. Editor, have looked on both
sides Il the question and with n sorrowiui
heart, And | truly realize the dangerous con-
dition of the merchants. "You say tho
auesti h is not whether they are willing, but
will thsy be able" If they cannot, let
them say So, not say we will not credit any
person Herc lfter, then it will sound more
like they are willing TO help and be hel!ed.
Now Mr.. El;tpr, will you please tell us Que

NOR, when the farmer gets money from n
bank no must give gilt-edge papers.
Now, Mr. + ditor, you say that VIC cannot
believe the farmers Of Union County are
either 50 foolish or dishonest as to resort t.
"Kelton Wheels" suggestion. Mr.. Ed tor,
| think | nm just as honest as you or any
other man, and consider what you said in
your last weeks Iaper gross insult, and
ask YOU il you meant to say | would try Ia
iustil dishonesty into the farmers heal. II
you mean that you are sadly mistaken, anu
through respect for myself, | must cease to
be correspondent of your paper. only
wrote what | had heard, and the state Of
things which won d naturally come about II
such a Thing was to take place.
Now, sir, you know rs well as l do, that
if the merchants say they will not give credit
for either dry goods or provisions, what the
conseducnces wiu' d be; and You kn w fuiE
well TINT q mau without money is worse
than hothing. If y~u haven't money and
cannk get cred for anything you vii! per.
ish. no you must have something to eat, by
som fitncans, aud you are going to have it,
