PAY WHAT THOU oWEsT.

MONTGOMERY recently sold some bonds
at a handsome premium. There were a
large number of bidders, showing that
the financial world has great faith and
confidence in the city. Montgomery is
as solid as a rock. The financial world
has spoken, and thus shown it's conf
dence. That confidence canno. be shaken,
and 1t should be utilized just now. when
everything is so propitious to accelerate
the activity, which seems to have begun
in all lines of business. "A SIS bill put in
circula ton TO pay small debt will pay
the boarding house keeper. who will pay
the butcher. who will pay the retail
grocer. who will pay the wholesale dealer,
who will return 1t to the bank from which
1t started, and it will remain there until
1t again starts on its endless chain and
mission. Pay what thou owest." Start
the ball TO rolling Montgomery Journal.
In the above the Journal makes one
wise suggestion that should not be lost
sight of. If the people would make it a
practice where they cannot pay all to
pay part of their indebtedness, much gen
eral relief would result AT the begin
ming of the pres Mt money panic the story
is told that a gentleman paid a debt of

amount be credited on another debt. and

So, and when the bill reached such
party that 1t be returned 70 him who
first started 1t on its debt-paying rounds.
Within week the bill reached the party
who first paid it out, and in it's travels
had cancelled over 500 of Indebtedness.
Instead Of waiting until enough is gotten
together to pay off in full a debt. il
everybody would determine to pass the
change around the relief would be at once
apprecia ted, and would go a long ways
towards keeping property out of the
sheriff's hands by the foreclosure of
mortgages The disposition to pay must
first be cultivated, and do away with the
idea that money is more valuable than
that which it will buy. and when once
in the pocket or safe be kept there until
forced from its hiding place to do its
mission. The real love of money is more
general than one would think on the
impulse. 1t Is not uncommon fer a. man
to carry around in his purse for weeks
money he has no direct use for, while
his creditor is spending hours of thought
to devise means to meet his own obliga-
lions and protect his credit, not wishing
