the courage to cut the most agreeable
acquaintance you have, when you are
convinced he lacks principle; friend
should bear with friends infirm-
tiles, but not with his vices. He
that does base thing in zeal for his
friend burns the golden thread that
ties their hearts together. --Eupora

WATCH YOUR CREDIT. The
most trifling actions that effect
mans credit are to be regarded. The
sound of yoar hammer at five in the
morning or at nine at night heard by
creditor makes, him six easy months
longer; but if he sees you at bill
lizard table or hears your voice at
saloon when you should be at work,
he sends for his money next day.

LASHED THE NEGRO. A negro
from Chattanooga, Tenn, who is the
editor of paper in that city was in
Cincinnati few days ago and while
there was handing ont some copies of
his paper, which it seems attracted
favorable attention from those of his
own color until some hurley black
discovered that "the patent side" was
rather democratic in Tone A large
crowd of irate sons of the dark moon
soon gathered around him and de-.
manded an explanation. The editor

ADVERTISING BRINGS SUC-
CESS. There is no kind of business
that is not helped by persistent and
judicious advertising. If you have
something you want to sell, or there
be something you want to buy, the
proper course for you is to let the
public know that you want to buy or
sell, as the case may be. The very best
quality of goods are not injured by
advertising their superiority, and
even inferior wares can be disposed
bof advantageously by persistent adver-
tising The man who advertises ju-
diciously is on the way to success in
his business, while on the contrary
he man who fails to take the public
into his confidence is pretty sure to
end in the insolvency court.

corn, the south is reasonably sure Of
prosperous fall and winter.

three million dollars, and the south e
melons and vegetables have netted
two or three times as much. The
south's cotton will give us half bill.

little corn to buy next winter. In the
west corn prospects are fine, but
wheat will be 90 per cent. short. So
the west will barely hold it's own.
In the east, the presidential campaign
and slow iron and steel market are
depressing general business. Last
winter the south's cotton money went
long way to avert general panic.
Now it looks as If the south will
again furnish the money and the
prosperity for the nation - Railway
