MT. GALLAGHER,

II the rains continue tLe farmers
will be greatly behind with their
work. Some have sllgh. attack of
the blues now.
Mrs. j. p. Jones visited this side last
week.
Miss Maud Mabry is visiting friends
and relatives at Hodges this week.
Mr.. j. n. Jones lost a very fine COW
last week, supposed to be struck by
lightning.
1t seems that your Owingsville COR
respondent has given careful notice to
the contents of the fair sex's buggy.
We would be glad to see them on this
SIDE as vegetables are very scarce.
The roads are very bad and almost
impossible in some places. There has
been so much rain that the ground is
thoroughly wet.
II the broad tire bill, which the late
Legislature did not pass, was in use now
it would pack the roads instead OF cut
ting ruts, but don't think the broad
tire will work well for this reason,
that they being so broad will catch
more mud, therefore making the ve-
hicle just twice its original weight for
stock to draw.

The establishment Of cotton mills
means about one. half cent pound
for cotton more than it would bring
without the presence Of mills in the
South. Consequently the cotton
grower who Is stockholder, IN addi-
tiOn to getting his dividends, gets
more than the dividends in the en-
hanced price of this crop. There is
moro spare money among the well-to-
drawn from this should be plain.

% know the story, you people
no work for a living, OF the man who
advertised money to lend at time
ghcn that article was mighty scarce.
hcitizen applied to him for thou
,shnd dollars. "Where is your collat-
eral?" inquired the Croesus "Why |
haven't any collateral" was the re-
ply. Then you can't get the money!
responded the lender. The citizen as
he left reelected: CATER all it is not
money that is scarce, it's collateral
1T is precisely this state Of facts from
which our people greatly suffer. Most
of their property is in land. Land is a
stable and safe security, but it is diff
ticult to handle and expensive as well
Before land owner can borrow
money, his titles must be examined
and he must pay the lawyers and re
cOrding fee. The lender takes the
risk Of being forced to tardy and
costly settlement in the courts. There
fore he eXacts, and justly, n higher
rate of interest than if the security
were shares in good enterprises, which
could be converted into money in
stantly if necessary. Every thrifty
farmer ought to have part OF his prop
erty in the form Of shares in mills,
banks and similar corporations. Every
puoihCoS illdll anu every successful
farmer is a business man, must at times
be borrower Of money. Unless he
has stocks he must give mortgage
and thereby lose time and money The
clear headed farmer buys good
wagon and finds 1t cheaper in the
long run. The same clear headed
farmer acting on the same principle,
will own some stocks to use as collat-
eral because they are better than land.
Some Of our farmers with money to
spare are thinking now of buying
more land, At this moment when new
cotton mills, banks, furniture facto-
ries and other enterprises are pro.
posed, stocks in any of which would
be recognized as first rate collateral, it
would Ee very well for these farmers
to investigate thom with the view to
investment. The business methods
OF the farmer ought to be not less ef-
ficient than those Of the merchant or
banker. The merchant who knows his
business always endeavors to accumu-
late securities upon which he can bor-
row money at the lowest rates

Joke or story to tell at his neighbor's
expense. And when, during its course,
Aimee's eyes caught sight of a dime
dangling from split ring on the pro-
fessor's watch chain, she was decided
ly amused. And at the same time she
wondered why, though his lips were
laughing, his eyes seemed sad.
After dinner they all adjourned to
the library, where coffee was served,
and was followed by Aimee's little
"surprise."
She had disappeared for q moment,
and returned to the room bearing q
miniature Christmas tree on a silver
salver. It seemed ablaze with tiny
candles, and little parchment scrolls
were tied to the branches with bright
ribbons of every hue.
There was a scroll for each of the
party, containing bright bit OF nom
sense in rhyme, to describe or sug-
gest the contents of the accompany
ing package. And these were each
read aloud, and the packages opened
amid the laughter and merry COM
ments of the entire party.
And so at last it came the profess
sor's turn.

'sIt's wonderful" said Tom, '.how
s1uch happiness Titles very little
money will buy on Christmas eve!'
tsIt blesses him who gives and him
who takes!'' said Aimee.
Suddenly Tom gave her nudge.
"Hello, look-just ahead of u.s." he
said.
And Aimee saw tall, spare man,
with head bent slightly forward and
hands linked loosely together behind
his back.
With an impulse of merry mischief
she reached forward and dropped q
dime in the half-open palm.
The tall man swiftly turned, gave
an exclamation of surprise. and was
greeted by hearty laugh from Tom.
"Prof. Vaughn!"
'My young friend, Tom-and Miss
Aimee, also! Well, well-who would
have thought of meeting you two in
this part of the town tonight! May
I ask what brought you here?"
"Just what brought you, professor,
apparently!" laughed Tom. "And
then this sister of mine has a fond
ness for seeking 'the spirit of Merry
Christmas as she calls it,"
"And apparently she has found it, y
said the professor, smiling, while
Aimee's eyes twinkled and her lips
twitched with merriment at the way
in which the professors hand re-
mained closed, as if it contained some
treasure.
They walked along together. The
