FACTS VS.. FALsITY.

Now comes the Prescott Courier
with a. harefaeed attack an the Santa
Fe, Prescott 4 Phoenix Railway com
pany, evidently made to divert the at
teI8ti0n of the public, as tar as il caR,
from the vile aaHss It has been hiirl-
ing at the governor. 1t accuses til4

tack on one of the most legitimate
and by far the most important and
successful enterprises ever IaHnrhsd
in Arizona2 H5# long viii the
community or the railroad company
tolerate such work? -
Instead of the company having in
vested $4,000, coo, as suggested by the
Courier It has invested s5;990,01d. and
has in contemplation the investment
Of many hundreds of thousands more

ing districts.
It is true that not dollar has been
paid in dividends on stock, and 1t is
also true that every a5lIar ia excess
Of 5 per cent Oh the money Invested,
UP to the present time, hns been reiA-
vested in branches and improvements
of great benefit TO the territory. and
mining interests IN partfcular-to say
nothing OF the fact that tbs large
amount Of money finds its way, direct
ly or indirectly, into the homes o.
nearly every citizen of the territory.
The Courier doubtless knows that
there never was a pound Of second
hand iron ever used by the company;
that the company used in the main
line nothing but the best OF steel rails;
and that the rails used in the branch
lines were most carefully inspected
and should be good for at least twenty
years of heavy traffic. In fact, the
condition of the railroad conf
pany's property is Of a very high stan
dard, as every one knows, and when a
paper compares such an enterprise
the investment of $1,000 ,0O0-with
fake stock jobblng schemes what may
be expected next?
It might be we'll to add that the

Industries are the life of anx tow

Industries are the life of any town
or city and imparts wonderful vigor to
commercial interests so as to make
trade both good and interesting. And
town without industries, having to
depend on outside trade for support is
placed at a disadvantage. because it is
not self-supporting. Marietta should
have more industries.
The Georgia watermelon is on your bill

And 1t is cheap enough for all to have a

When you thump it with your finger
and it gives heavy sound,
Like summer rain falling on the dry
an dusty ground,
Jest get your barlow ready an prepare
to make a swipe,
An carve it straight an steady till it
opens red and ripe;
Then fold your barlow careful, an take
your melon fiat;
Put one-half on this side of you, the
other half on that;
Then take the biggest in your lap an
tear the heart out so;
AM smack your lips an praise the Lord
from whom all blessings flow.

Now is the time to quit the credit bust

won't know anything of hard times. If you
stick to the credit system you will always
cry hard times and it will be hard for you
and it ought to be. Now don't think be-
cause you cannot save so cent or one dollar
on each purchase it don't amount to any,
thing. 1t is the small things we have to
look after See what percentage more you
are paying the other fellow than we are ask
ing, and in some cases you will find you are
paying one hundred per cent more. Now
can you do this and make a success of life?
No. you cannot, you have to pay for too
many goods that some rascal eats up and
doesn't pay for. This is why you should
always spend your money at a cash house
and avoid paying other peoples accounts
Some of our competitors will tell you that
we cannot do so and so. We can do anything
we say we can do, and we will do ANYTHING
we say we will, and we are responsible for
anything we say or do say So when we adj

STOP
AND
THINK!

Did you ever stop to think how much you
are paying for your goods by having them
charged for few days (? "No, never did,"
We know you never did, if you had you
would stop that old way of buying goods.
Did you ever think about how much per-
centage you are paying the other fellow when
you give him sc for an article that you could
buy from us at 4c /? You are paying him %
per cent more for his goods, and when you
give him &c for an article that we sell for &c,
you are paying about 20 per cent more than
your neighbor who pays cash for his goods.
When it comes to saving one or two cents on
an article, it looks too little for some people.
This is just why you never had the money to
pay cash and you never will have any money
as long as you buy goods on a credit. Why?
Because you have to pay for what others don I
pay for and you know it. | don't care who
you are, you know you are paying other peo-
ple's accounts SO long as you buy from a
credits store house.
