KxLros. Nov. ell, Mr.. Editor, VIC
Pea Ridge fwre y sfsLno better Of the blues
vet, and the 6nan1i1k poctors don't seem to
enough for our proaa6Gfo cure the complaint,
therefore thsre q great many will have to
suffer-merchay,ts kawcll as farmers.
There is grfat deal being said about the
mercantile fraierniiy not selling auy thing on
time in Ninety US. Now think the mer-
chants had hctier q ew on that line, for
fear they viii loose. than they will gain
by the oPe S.Aiar g light do very we'll for,
them TO c'ose dewnA Apa Tor crsdting Of dry
goods. but TO refussthc farmers credit for
\ provisions, under the conditions and circum-
stances now in the country, would briog ruin
and disaster upon the tillers Of the soil aud
| those in other avocations, and would certain
| ly cause less debts 10 be paid than would be
under other circumstances. AS an illustra-
| ton, we will take q man that owes all no
| will make this year, and all the merchants
say we will not credit out single dollars
worth Of dry goods or provisions in '92. That
man would sell his crop aud put the money
in his pocket, knowing that he could not
get credit any more. and who could blame
him for being guilty of such an act, knowing
that without money he would have TO 50
hungry and cold. This is only hint to
show what thing Of that kind would lead
to, expect to be shot at by some fellow
for writing what have. 1t may be that am
wrong, but it is my honest opinion aud am
bound to speak what think, if it be expe-
dient. F
Now, Mr.. Editor, if you will allow me, l
will say few words about those that owe
debts aud don pay. There is one class OF
people who buy and don't intend to pay,
while there are pthcrs who try hard to- pay
AM tSlxr,l 4-al
aecusalions 9 8 cali csiied sasoais Iss and d
scoundrels, while they have more houcsty
about them than those who vilify them. I
know men who would glaily pay the last
cent they owed, but, alas, it is impossible for
them to do so, consequently they have to
bear q share Of the abuse that is put upon
dishonest men.
The weather still continues favorable for
gathering crops, SO let US be thankful that
things ere as welt with us as they are.
