A local preacher at the conclusion
of one of his sermons said, "Let all
in the house who are paying their
debts stand up. Instantly every
man, woman and child, with but one
exception, rose to their feet. The
preacher seated them and said, Nov
every man not paying his debts stand
up" The solitary man, care-worn,
hungry looking individual, clothed in
his last summers suit, slowly as
sumed perpendicular position.

PROSPERITY.

And now comes the announcement
that the Brandon Bank has increased
its capital stock from $40, 1000 to $50, :
900; that another bank of $4,000 is
being organized at Brandon and at the
same erstwhile sleepy Brandon a drug
company of $4,000 or SIS, 900 capital to
be put ur on foot. 1t is said that the
stock OF the drug company has been
subscribed for, three times over. We
congratulate our neighbor and wish
for her continued prosperity. 1t
means business enterprise and thrift
on the part of Brandon business men
and prosperity and the accumulation
of money on the part of many farmers
because much of the money on deposit
in these banks comes from the couL-
try.
Florence has new drug store and
now why not bank? Our business
men and our farmers have plenty OF
money. Their deposits are assisting
in building up their towns, why not
build up home town? Our mer.
chants complain when people send
money away to Shears, Sawbuck &
Co., or to Gimlet Bros, for things
they keep and yet these very mer-
chants bank their money elsewhere
and help build up other places when
the money could be kept at home and
make Florence stronger in a business
way. Merchants say they have a
right to do as they please with their
money. Certainly, nobody has said
that they didn't have this right. But
they could put their money in home
bank. People say they have perfect
right to allow themselves shorn by
Shears, Sawbuck & Co., or to be bored
by Gimlet Bros, it's their own money
certainly. Nobody said they don't
have the right. But the money could
be kept at home and spent with the
home merchant. to whom these same
people always go when they want 9
financial favor. The point we make
is that the two cases are analogous
and that the kettle ought to stop crit
icising the pot because of its color

ONE AND THE SAME.

A good town helps the country and
the country helps the town. The
better you make the town, the better
you make the country. This is
proved by the fact that land close to
town of 1000 is worth more than
land near town of 1000. Now, how
can a town be made better? One
way is for the farmer and merchant to
work together. Their interests are
mutual. Competition has now re-
duced profits until the day Of 100 per
cent. yes, so and % per cent profits are
thing of the past. A little trans
action came to, our notice recently
which illustrates that merchants here
sell as cheap as the mail order houses.
The parties here bought exactly the
same article. One from Chicago, the
other from a local merchant. The
party buying in Chicago, paid SOC
more and the express besides sending
the money out of his town.

Bob Taylor says: 81 am senti
mental, and I have but little respect
for man who is not. It is the SOU
of religion and patriotism; it is the
life blood of all good society; it is the
essence of love. Every soul that
ever found it's way from earth tc
heaven was waited there on the wings
of sentiment; every brave spirit who
ever faced death for his country was
led by sentiment to the battlefield
every beautiful picture is sentiment
reflected from the heart on canvas
and the creation of the sculptor S
chisel is the silent image of senti
ment. What power is it which leads
the bride and groom to the altar to
seal their VOWS? 1t is the pure senti-
ment of love. What is it that makes
home and life and the world beauti
full? 1t is sentiment. What are the
flowers but the fragrant sentiments OF
God? What are the brawling brooks
and ripping rivers but the laughter
and song of sentiment?

worthy SO enlightened q country as
Mexico has become under the regime

is with the understanding that taxes
are no longer certain after death.
Mexico goes Us one better on this

nit even dead men to escape taxation.

LIVE RIGHT.

Our readers all doubtless have de-
sire to be happy and are ever watch
ing for the road to Happiness. You
have doubtless had many roads to
happiness pointed out to you. The
young as we'll as the old have their
dark days. The days in the May time
of life are just as cloudy as in life IS
November. The grandmother and
granddaughter breathe the same deep
sigh. 1t is a false idea that we are
happier in childhood and youth than
we will ever De again. If we live
right, the older we get the happier
we are. AS you advance in life, as
you come out into the world and have
yenr head and heart full of coed, hon.
est, practical christian work, then
you know what it is to begin to be
happy. The longer the fruit hangs
upon the tree, the ripper and more mel
low it grows. The longer you live
the right kind of life the more use
full and happy you become. Solomon,
the wise man, said: Her ways are
ways of pleasantness and all her paths
are peace Get into the path re.
ferred to by Solomon and you will find
old age more joyful than youth.

Truer words were never uttered
than the following from an exchange:
When man is on the wrong path

meets a man who wants to sink her
still deeper in perdition. "-Hillsboro

A lawyer in court room, says al
exchange, may call man liar, a
scoundrel, william or thief, and no
one makes a complaint when court has
adjourned. If a newspaper prints
such reflections on a mans character
there is libel suit or dead editor,
and this is owing to the fact that
people believe what an editor says
what lawyer SAYS cuts no figure.
