Not many years ago the majority
OF farmers in newly settled sections
were dependent upon the business
men and the merchants CT the towns
to carry them through between crops.
There are farmers who can look back
a few years ago and see where they
were favored when in want Of supplies
and had not the money to pay for the
same. Prosperity changes many, and
this may be the cause Why those Who
a dozen years ago we're so anxious to
see the country develop, now send
much Of their money to outside places
for goods needed. instead Of keeping
their dollars At home to further en-
rich their community; and how soon
are favCrs forgotten. The merchants
