PAY YOUR DEBTS.

There never was a better time to
nav debts than right now, the
prompt payment of debts is public
service to the community. That
sacrifice should be rendered even at
the price of some sacrifice.
This appeal, Pay your dtbts, is.
directed specifically to the man who
considers himself good" and who is
considered by merchants good.
It is an appeal to the map who owes
few running accounts to pay them
and pay them at once. The cotton
grower, at present, surrounded as he
is by unprecedented difficulties, is
in a different class. He is suffering
from exceptional conditions, and
the merchants that he owes are
suffering with him from these ex-
ceptional conditions.
But, the salaried man. or the man
who has money in the bank. or the
merchant who is safe, should pay.
his debts and pay, them at once.
Debt paying will start a flow Of
money through the channels of Re-
tail trade, past the wholesalers and
jobbers to the banks If the man
with little money docs not pay the
merchant, the mer' h 1T can't pay
the jobbers; if the joDoer is not paid
he cannot pay the banker. If the
banker is not paid, he will have to
shut down on all loans. and (on-
merce and industry is halted.
Don't shut your fist tight on what
money you have, if you owe debts
IF you are out of debt, keep the
money till the cows come home
If you are in debt, 60 pay it; relieve
the anxiety and the troubles of the
man who trusted you and who de
ponds upon you. If you owe the
doctor. the lawyer. or the merchant,
60 pay them, so they can pay the
men they owe. Start the money TO
moving.
1t isxno use to shut YOUR eyes to
patent facts, this i3 fight for mon
ey. And yet. if all the people paid
what they owed money would be
plentiful and business would be
confident. 4
We are now in the first days of
October. September has usually
been one of the harvest money
months for creditors They hive
loaned money and sold goods with
the expectation Of collecting in The
month of October. The thirty
day accounts of the .househ3l dels
are due, also. The debtors are
blocking the game. They are halt

pay what you owe, paw as much If

tere aloofness of age. or the GOODNESS
of indifference. s.
A child is susceptible to training,

LOOK YOURSELF IN THE FACE

The reaper of death sweeping over
Europe brings to our mind a thought
worthy of more than casual consid-
Grafton.
Let us look ourselves in the face
and thjnk-think for the benefit of
humanity, for the veal of prosperity:
In all parts of the country schools
are opening for the fall and winter
terms and much of the future will
depend upon the training Of the
young of today.
y Never in our hi~tory was tn ere a
time when it was more imperative
that hasty passions and vidlctive
temperalnents be curbed and eradi-
Gated.
Never wastthere tim5 when the
inculcation of brotherly love and a
consideration for Others was more
urgently required.
The youth of today will be the
men of tomorrow, and as we tain
them now so they will be then.
The burden rests.tlt ayily upon us
We expect the 1eacntr in the
school to transform our chilu l.l,o a
man of learning and honor and in
tegrity, but do we stop to consider
that more depenes upon the parent
than upon the educa ,U?.
The one cannot succeed without
the cooperation of the o,ller, but
the two working j,l.it y AID earnest
ly together will accomplish wouuer-
ful results.
We should think before s,yeakiuf
s.. Harsh words and family jars IN
the presence Of a child gives it its
first lesson in unruliness and puts q
sharp edge to an awakening temper.
il is natural for the infant to copy
the example of the parent.
AS we expect much from the
teacher, let US give equally of our
own store Of patience and colsider.
