Stop and Consider.

Editor NEws.-Parties who are fig
uring on large crop in Adams coun-
ty this season and laying their plans
accordingly would do well to stop and
consider the financial condition Of the
people in general this year. l believe
there is greater scarcity OF money in
the county now than at any time
within the past eight years. More re-
liable men who have never borrowed
money or asked for credit find them
selves obliged to do SO now. The
amount of credit that will be asked
for during the next eight months will
he more than ever in the history q
the county and the safest way for the
bus'noss man and farmer to figure is
thai we are liable to have lighter
crop than usual. II we have good
crop and prices remain at or above Be
cents per bushel for wheat general
liquidation will take place but if the
reverse should occur it will leave mat
tiers in bad state OF affairs.
