Smile. Durn Ye."

We have Just closed one OF the
most prosperous years Fulton ooun-
~ has ever known. Blessed with
bountiful crops, and signs OF pros
perity on every hand, We have a
great deal TO be thankful for.
A little uneasiness in the financial
oenters Of the country the past sixty
days has somewhat retarded bust
ness in most localities, but as a
whole, conditions are reasonably
gratifying throughout the state, and
with our wonderful resources. and
advantageous position, We should
continue to prosper in the face of adj
verse conditions in the east.
The word fear so often expressed,
is the great cause Of so many fail
ures and unsettling OF affairs. Fear
is no person, place, or thing, It has
no actual cause. and no real power.
In the presence Of confidence II be-
comes absolute nothingness, and
as darkness before light.
BE an optmist, nothing dissipates
fear and restores confidence so COM
pletely and effectively.
We would advise conservatism at
all times, but 90 ahead and let bust
ness continue in its present normal
healthy condition, and in sixty days
we will never know that we have
had a financial furry.

request TO publish
II Is contemplated, owing 10 the
unsatisfactory conditions prevailing
in the handling aud shipping Of cot
ton at this point, that cotton gan

Of Hickman's capitalists, in conjunc-

Is, 70 allow no cotton 10 be driven
away from Hickman for want Of the
current market price; II the figures
prevailing when the commodity is
brought for a sale seems lower than
the grower cares 70 sell for al the

means the latter orings his cotton

will be made Of il 10 his advantage.
Hickman controls a vas, field for
enterprise in this direction. and il
seems strange that this opportunity
has so long been lost sight Of. Many
serious complaints have gone out on
all sides as 10 the want Of proper
encouragement 10 those engaged in
producing this money making factor,
which has prompted the enterprise
under consideration.
The business will no, necessarily
admit Of competition from the fact
that il will be cooperative, and hence
along conservative lines, paying the
highest price for raw cotton consist
ent With the operation Of the plant.
The advantages Of this venture TO
our city cannot be over estimated,
and challenges the careful considera-
ton Of our citizens.

THE MAN AND HIS JOB.

The mark of recognition in the
high-grade employee is that he is
equal to all occasions. Whether
salesman, clerk or executive, he Will
be able, as the prize-fighters say, Ito
meet all cOmers." He can sell bill
of goods just as readily across
table laden with plank steak and
entrees OF expensive demeanor, as
over the counter in store. II his
customer is of the ham and egg
sort. the high-grade salesman will be
perfectly at home buying him lunch
at a popular priced restaurant. On
the other hand. his customer may be
president OF railroad buying one
thousand miles of steel rails. The
high-grade business getter will be
Just as comfortable with him as with
the ham and egg" buyer, and viii
know how properly 10 entertain him.
/ A house which does business with
big men must have a representative
who can be just as big man as the
next fellow. In dignified self-cOnfi-
dence he must feel at all times on
the same level as the man with whom
he has to deal.
/ There is nothing more harmful
/ the business welfare of an establish
ment, for instance, than to have IN
its employ clerks of cheap and Ia
intelligent character Such en-
ployees, not being able to fit all oc-
casions and raise themselves, at
least for the time being, to the So
cial and intellectual level of their
customers, lose thousands of dollars
which can never be recovered. High
grade clerks earn the difference in
salary twice over by the demonstra-
ton of courtesy alone.

ONE WAY TO KEEP DOWN TAXES

w Il Ib DoN y T.
Are the county commissioners not
making a mistake in the way they
have taken TO pay off all of the debts
of the county and at the same time
adding expendi ures of large I'M
provements. The county board of
previous years made many improve
ments and left a debt of about $12,-
10000. The present board it seems
desires to pay off all of this indebt-
edness and pay for the current eX-
penses and the present improvements
as well. By so doing heavy Mr.
den of taxation is placed on the peo-
pie who are now in the county. The
present inhabitants are paying for
the Improvements of the past and of
the future as well. Why should not
the people ten or fifteen years hence
help pay for the improvements that
are now being done and which they
will enjoy. This can be done by
bonding for a term of years. In ten
or twenty years with the greatly in
creased population the Indebtedness
could be met at very low rate of
taxation. Furthermore. the people
generally would be in better shape to
pay this Indebtedness.
We need roads. lots Of good ones,
more bridges, and other things, but
it seems in this new and ranidly de-
veloping region that it would be not
only justice but wisdom 70 pass some
of these expenses down to few
years hence.
The above is not an idle sugges,
ton, but is the actual sentiment of
many who are in touch with the con-
ditions over the county.
