when these mature a few years
hence. Through the Willamette val

to the ability OF The country to pro-
vide for and assimilate emigration.

Financial Independence.
The lesson comes home to us again
and again that financial independence
comes almost always by saving and
cooperating the few dollars with
those Of many others, thus creating
an investment fund in the hands Of
experts whsoe metal has been tried by
the fire of experience and whose
methods, being evolved in the same
school, assure success. Thus cooper
ating, we get like results to those at
tained by big capital, so that with
time and patience, our competence
VIII certainly be reached. OF course,
we desire to place our money In a
safe place where 1t earns good inter-
est.
The small capital finds best use in
investment bonds, those having real
estate security being preferable.
Speculative stock should be carefully
avoided by the small investor.
Careful investment of small sums
is the beginning Of riches.
Bonds Best Field.
Make your own Investments, but
scan well the security and purpose OF
the issues, the training OF ones judg-
ment can be done with the small sum
and as the ball rolls up to larger
proportions, the larger sums can
readily be gathered.
Read over the bond carefully, know
well It's provisions, then more impor-
tant than that study up on the men
who are to handle the fund, are they
honest, are they wise, are they ex-
perlenced? For, after all, It's the
"man behind the gun" that counts,
ask about him, size him up, weigh
him and IL he is right, your winning
out is assured.
Bonds are the best fleld-mlnlng
stocks and industrials are danger
GUS; even railroad stocks have a
greater element Of risk; bonds are

BROTHER DICKEY is DEAD
Ancient Negro Philosopher Immor-
talized by Frank Stanton Climbs
the Golden Stairs.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Dickey, the
famous old negro character whose
queer sayings Frank L. Stanton has
so often quoted in his column in the
Constitution, died in his little hut at
80 Lowe street Thursday morning
at the age of about 80 years, accord
ing to Brother Dickey's own uncer-
tain count Of his days.
He was a familiar character to
many Atlantans, especially around
the city hall. He continually talked
of religion, paraphrasing the Script
ures and speaking a very odd and
original philosophy. But his appear
ance was the first thing to attract
attention, and many passersby who
did not know Of his reputation as a
philosopher would always stop to
look at him.
Brother Dickey Mr. Stanton wrote
the following verses to his memory:
Brother Dickey.
Dim is the cabin where he dWelt so
long
A sense of darkness drear;
But even in sorrow he heard Heav-
ems song,
And Heaven knew him there.
A life Of toll, from far, remembered
days,
Shadows about him cast,
But the Light shines from the high
heavenly ways
And leads him home at last!
