Pay Pension Board

Attention Confederate Veter- ans. Has it ever dawned on you that you are not doing right by the Pension Board? They have been working for you sev- eral years without pay. Do you think it right that they should work nothing? Now, I propose that every one that expects to draw a pension this fall will go over to the Court House and de- posit from 25 cents to one dollar with the county treasurer to partly pay them for their ser vices. 1 have deposited 50 cents and will deposit 50 more if ne- cessary. Remember, old friends, we have but a short while to live, let us do right while living.

 Hot weather has certainly set in in earnest. Summer is now almost half gone and we no longer hear the note of the whip poor-wil from the neigh boring wood.
 The peach crop in this section was cut short by a heavy hail in May, the crop being about one half knocked off. The trees were loaded, and while the loss was great, the remaining peaches will be much finer.
 Crops are looking pretty we'll, but every one is late this year.
 Quite a good many sweet po- tatoes are being set out. Watermelon time is almost with us again and the sweating farmer in the field is consoled by the thoughts of feasting on the delicious, red, juicy melons a few weeks hence.
 Billy Spevins says that he has no hopes of having any potato bugs next summer as all of his bugs were entirly destroyed this year by the birds.

Ozark In 1873

The following article was taken from the Clarksville En- terprise of 1873, and is of more than passing interest to the cit izens of our little city.
 We paid a flying visit to Ozark last Friday, found many old friends, and formed many ac- quaintances. We were treated in courteous and gentlemanly manner; in fact, the people of Ozark know how to do the gen tleman" to perfection. Busi- ness was somewhat dull (not so with the law business however, but the merchants seem to be holding on with a will and ener- gy worthy of them. We were told that the line of railroad misses Ozark about five miles.
 We are sorry to hear that, it is a pretty town, and would make good business place; in fact, we are informed that busi- ness has always been good there. We hope the managers of the road may consider the matter and run it thru Ozark.

Is Our Town Worth While?

A recent issue of the "Ameri- can" contained an advertisement for groceries with the prices asked and also giving the prices charged for the same articles by a Chicago catalogue house. The ad also contained the following effective argument for buying at home, ''Is the Small Town Worth While?'
 If our town is a detriment; if it increases the cost of living and gives nothing in return in the way of markets and accom- modations, etc; if the thirty-five million people in the farming towns don't mean anything to the prices and the demand for farm produce. let us do away with it entirely. If on the other hand our homes. our churches. our schools, our markets, mean anything to us; if the accommo- dations we get from our towns are worth anything to us; if the increasing value of our land and homes means anything to us; if thirty five million less consumers means anything to us in price and demand of our products, if thirty-five million more people on the farms and out of the towns would mean an over-pro- duction of farm products, then the town is of value to us and let us work together and make it of more value.
 Make out your order. pin a check to it. hand it to us and we will fill your order on the same terms as the mail order houses. Isn't that fair? If you don't believe it it's easy to find out.
 Here are few comparisons of prices. Our regular prices and Chicago catalogue house prices.
 No one is more interested than you in keeping trade at home except the dealers them selves. Business for them means business for you. More profits will mean larger advertis- ing appropriations. More mon- ey circulating at home means a better and prosperous commun, itv as a whole from which you will reap your share of the in- creased business.
