Sales.
Last Monday was Sale Day, and great
multitude of our people were present, G0od
order and good fellowship prevailed. The
stores did Il reasonably good business In sales
while their collections continue good. AS
rule, our people are not rich. tut the great
mass of them were able TO settle the expense
incurred in making the present crop. Be-
cause or the gloomy outlook In the beginning
of the year, their expense account was cut
down to the lowest limit, and this TACT, To-
gether with the increased price OF cotton has
brought them safely out Of financial en-
barrassments. The crop will be little short
of last years crop, but the better price has
about equalized matters.
The best part of our condition lies in the
fact that many persons have made more or
less provision for furnishing their own sup
plies next year, and because of this fact they
will enter upon the work OF the coming year
The reports lead US 10 believe that Ahbe-
Vile county is In much better condltlon IMAM
many other count ties of the State. The lar
mers seem prosperous and ~ Is certain that
the business men of the village have done
well.
The best proof of the prosperity of the town
and the country is to be seen in the crowded
condition Of the advertising columns OF the
village newspapers. while the high prices at
which our farming lands were sold under the
hammer last Sale Day give substantial evil
citizens who have faith In the old land yet.
The village newspapers and the public sales
of real estate give a true Index 10 the real
condition of the mercantile and farming IN
terests of the country, and judged from this
standpoint, the people can form Their own
conclusions.
