| The first woman ever to attend an
assembly of wheelmen as delegate was
Mabel Woodbury., of Danville, Ill.,, who
was present at the Good Roads Congress
held at Albany, N. Y. She is prominent
lady in wheeling affairs. Lieutenant
| Governor Woodruff, of New York, made
the address of welcome at this convention.
On the subject of good roads the State of

said that when the good roads movement
was started in that State, the most
strenuous opposition was from the
farmers, but when the system had been

of sentiment 'and pow," he said, ''the
farmers can be counted on to do any,

The Cycling NesoS in its last issue

One of our county papers declares that
the bicycle riders are largely responsible
for the stone roads in this State for the

All over the country the subject of
road improvement is being sgitated, and
the time may not be very far distant
when the sorely and deep rutted high,
ways in this part of our State may be
made hard and smooth for drawing the
heaviest loaded wagons. and every
farmer and horseman will acknowledge
the fact that the bicycle after all is the
horses best friend. Some one in a

BUYING ON Credit.

Credit given" This announcement
attached to notice of a public sale has
attraction for buyers, hasn't it? Just
note, when you go to the next public
sale, and see how many people ask the
question whats the credit ?" Why
do they ask ? Ii they have money to pay
for what they buy, what difference does
i5 make whether the credit be three, six
OF eight months But are many people
as likely TO buy if the terms are cash !?
We wot not. There is ground for the
belief, however, that bidding is more
lively, that goods bring higher prices, not
because they are superior, but because
the buyer is not required to pay cash for
them. Farmers are particularly inter
ested in this matter, They complain of
hard times, high taxes, etc. Don't some
of them, who are buyers at public sales,
pay pretty dearly on account of sscredit
given ?" Not long ago certain man
proposed TO buy horse for 800 on credit.
He could buy one just as good for s75 for
cash. he was asked why he didn't buy
the difference" he asked, $50 long as !
have ten months or a year to pay for
him ?'' Well the difference was $25 dol
lckE AOt bDO OkCAio hOAoOf VA poo O4Av"AOAo
of paying 334 per cent. on $75 by buy
ing the 500 horse. And yet how many
people pay about that rate when they
buy on ciedits OF coure, there are times
when it is expedient to buy on credit.
But 1t is generally the cheaper plan to
pay cash. This applies to all purchases
and not only to those made at public
sales. The merchant can afford to sell
his goods cheaper for cash than or credit.
The cash buyer can generally get dis
count where the buyer on credit can not.
Isn't that as good as making money some
other way Credit given" is aliuring.
1t seems more easy to pay some months
hence than at present. But pay day
comes around, and sooner than is expect
ed. And very frequently there is no more
money on hand than when the purchase
was made, What than The Constable
or the Sheriff.
