 Seeing the danger from shore. Donald Ross, half-brother of Judge Longstreet. and Warrant Adams, son of State Revenue Agent Wirt Adams. jumped in a sliff that was conveniently near, and rowed for all they were worth to the scene of the strange encounter. They arrived in the nick of time to save Judge Long street from a very perious situation, as Adams was armed with a good gun, q load from which put an end to the big fish. It was lowed to shore and meas ured 12 feet B inches from tip to tip and two feet broad.

 The saw was cut of the fish and will be exhibited at the state fair next fall.

Regarding the Card of Ihanks.

The editor of this paper would be the last man on earth to know
 ingly say word to hurt the feel ings of any of it's subscribers or citizens. especially at time when the dark winged messenger of death has brought sorrow to the home, but from best of motives we desire to call the attention of our readers to the custom of publishing card of thanks" It is a custom that has outgrown it's purpose, if 1t ever had one. When sickness and death comes to your home it IS only natural that your friends and neighbors should do what they can to assist you. They would be heathens if they did not. They know from the expression of yo"r face that you are thankful and deeply appreciate all they do, and it is not necessary to rush into print and tell the world that your neighbors were kind when you were in trouble. The reading pub lie are becoming tired of the old stereotyped card ofsthanks. You can express to your friends, by a look or word, your thankfulness in more impressive manner than you can in a column of cold type.

 The farmer. to succeed and be prosperous must use thrift and economy and work to hold down expenses, as we'll as to make all that he can. The farmer thrt t buys on credit may be as thrifty as the one that don't buy on credit, but he can't economise 50 well.
 The dealer that sells for cash has no bad debts to loose. in turning his money over often, and can and does sell cheaper than the dealer that sells on time; hence. the man that pays cash for his goojs pays less than the credit buyer.
 Another reaso. for paying cash is that the man that buys on credit will buy things that he could do without handily. and would do so if he was taking the m ,ney out of his pocket and paying for 1t
 And another reason why they should not buy on credit is because every dealer that sells on time ex poets to loose at least ten per cent of it. and he places this profit on the goods you bgy. They figure that about ten per cent of the pee- pie that buy on credit will not pay them, and as they will not run any risk themselves, they add this to the cost of the credit buyers goods so that the nine honest men that buy on credit must pay the dishon- est msns debts. Are you not tired of that9
