The general, and we may say, the
annual, cry Of hard times is upon US.
This time the cry seems to be found
ed upon fact. The short cotton crop,
together with the almost total failure
OF the corn crop in some sections,
gives cause for tho cry that hard
times are ahead. But let no man
lose heart. Let us bravely face The
future with faith in God and with
honest purpose 10 80 Our very best,
and all viii u" veil. Il IS 10 he
doubted II any hard working man
ever yet starved in this community, g,
and we believe that no one will come
to that condition this year. Courage

work!

The Florence Times says "the re-

The report that the Hogg-Sware e
Oil Combine, Of Texas, had disposed
OF plrt of its holdings near Beaumont
to The Standard Oil Company is de-
MED by j. w, Swaine, He says that
while the company has disposed of a
position CT its holdings. the reported
deal with the Standard Oil Company
is untrue, that the latter Company
could not operate in Texas under the
present law.

1t is probable that the price OF pro-
visions will steadily increase. Meat,
flour, corn-the staple products are
already high, and every day going
higher. 1t is hard to sec how the
man who buys on credit this year
will be able to "make ends meet. !"
1t is no calamity when articles Of
luxury sell high, but when the com
mon necessares OF life are dear it
bears hard upon the poor man. The
farmer who runs into debt this year
may promise himself n hard pull to
get out again. And the condition of
the farmer effects that of the mer-
chant in the long run.

THE PROPER Optimism.

The world daspises pessimist,
and in doing so shows good sense.
1t gives one the ague to be associated
with such an individual. Nothing
pleasos him; nothing elicits his
praise. Around his head there floats
perpetual fog, and gloom has pen
ctrated his inmost soul. His cynical
soul is fast shrivelipg to dimensions
too minute TO deserve much attention
from his fellows. It is with sigh
OF relief that We turn from him and
attend tho man who has hope domi-
mating his breast. The world owes
much to the optimist. He dispenses
sunshine; he inspires confidence;
he brings things to pass. But the
optimism that works most good TO
the world is not the creature cf u
momentary success. 1t is not the
result Of u hasty glance into some
sunny nook alongside lite.s pathway.
The hope raised upon so slender Il
foundation soon grows top-heayy and
tumbles over. II is the man of broad
vision, Of deep thoughtfulness, OF
wonderful resourceiulness that gives
the proper inspiration to other hearts
lie sees victory tomorrow CIR next
year, even though defeat faces him
today. There are green fields and
sweet flowers farther on, even though
his path for today be among bleak
and barren wastes. Defeat cannot
overwhelm such q man; reverses do
but quicken his soul into greater
activity, And the world loves him
it cannot help it. The world trusts
him, for he commands their conf
| dence. The faint-hearted take cour-
age rs they hear his tones Of hope
and confidence. The weary toj|cr is
refreshed by n look into his face
beaning with hope aud victory.

The endless chain system continues

best thing to do with an "endless
