Mr.. Merchant I want you to give me
start. Mr.. Merchant agrees with
kink of a frown, so up in a mort
gage Mr.. Farmer is found. So on
he goes with great alarm, he makes
poor success in the way of farm.
but on he goes at a terrible rate; he
comes out in the fall with his debts
unpaid. Says Mr.. Merchant as he
leads him up to the post to hitch,
come old fellow | will learn you a
trick, he takes his horse, he takes
his corn. if he WASH t afraid of work,
he would take his farm. So down
farmer goes fiat to the ground, he
has got to take the chance for anoth-
er round. He goes to work that debt
to pay, instead of coming out, he
goes the other way. So then he make
a great big brag, and asks his friends
his debts to pay, So his friends help
him his debts to pay, so on he goes
in the same old way, making another
debt for his friends to pay.
This is the shape some cotton farm
ers get into by not making more corn
and less cotton.

part of the bridge gave way, and
their wooden floor sections fell in

huge piers under the iron span on
that side, then sank down some and
leaned over a little downstream,
causing the bridge itself to careen
about three or four feet. Up to
this writing the careen hasn't in
creased. A rope was fastened to
that end of the bridge and bank, to
help hold the bridge. This under
