Fools and Wise Men.

Some one said that fools, women
and children need be protected" The
author of the phrase seemed to not
take into consideration that it is some
times hard to distinguish between the
fool and the wise man. He is wise
indeed who does not nibble at the
bats on the hooks held out to catch
him. How many people, time and time
again, find themselves caught on some
contract deal, find that some sleek
agent has sold them lot of inferior
groceries for twice the amount that
they could buy the same quantity Of
goods from local dealer, and get a
far better quality? Be careful when
dealing with strangers. Remember
the biggest frauds present the most
plausible appearance. Don't sign any
kind of a contract or order without
the most careful investigation.

Favors Soon Eoraotten.

Not many years ago the majority
of farmers in newly settled sections
were dependent upon the business
men and the merchants of the towns
to carry them through between crops.
There are farmers who can look back
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
dozen years ago were 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 favors forgotten. The merchants
who assisted in making success pos
sible for many by quite a few are
passed by. Is this Christian graft
