same the year before
On a tract of land that planted in cotton where

You Should Open Up Your Wallet.

The following from an exchange contains many timely
and sensible suggestions and it could be adopted by every
community to good advantage:
DO you want to of prosperity strike this
community and push everything along in front of it?
Then open your wallet and loosen upl
Don't content yourself with telling the other fellow
to do it, but do it yourself
Imagination plays mighty big part in scheme
Of life and to very large extent have been afflicted
in late months with aggravated case of amaginitis
Some one got out in the street and Yielded hard
times and Immediately the cry taken up and handed
from lip to lip until it really began to sem
blance of truth.
And then everybody commenced to tighten the strings
to their purses pennies and dollars boarded and
withdrawn from circulation buying Jagged and apprehen-
sion Jagged abroad
People imagined we we're in the midst of hard times
The fact that the community held just as much mon
ley as ever before entirely oyerOOked.s
The fact that exports except the possible exception
of cotton in Southern States heavy before was
also forgotten.
Money continued to come into the community from
outside sources but promptly hidden away instead
Of being placed in circulation by the usual business chan
Inels
Pessimists bark every corner, calamity howIers
were in their element even sane men commenced to
worry
And all because some man opened his mouth and
yelled hard times
But let's put end to the farce
Let's do fall buying early-ets do much Of it now
let's pull money out Of its hiding places and put it
work where will be Of ourselves and to the
community.
And let's buy our goods from home merchants
from those who have borne the brunt of the sOaed hard
times-frOm people we know and whom we know we can
trust
Let's trot out Old Man Prosperity and give him the
front seat and then lets 60 work and keep him there
Imagination, has been worked to a frazzle
Now let's have dose of common sense and the inn
agnaTy malady will soon cease to be. Let's loosen up
