chickens, turkeys and eight children,
and one grandchild. SO you may
know we have some stirring times
and were you, within one mile or
two Of here these pretty mornings
you could hear these boys welcoming
spring with their NEGRO holla" as
they go to their days work of clear
ing ground, getting out posts, and
chopping wood, it would remind you
of the pioneer days when our fore
fathers first came over, we have only
about ten acres of land under fence,
but have the wire and enough posts
to fence 40 more.
This land which has sandy soil
with clay foundation, is well
adapted to growing cotton, corn,
sorghum cane, peanuts, peas and al
most all kinds of fruits. We have set
out over SO fruit trees and a small
patch of strawberries and find it
sweet when the tolls of day are
over, to sit in the low doorway and
watch the golden sun go down and
see the many tinted clouds fade
softly away into the light of heaven,
and the evening star glow like a
seraph's eye above them.
And now while we are deprived of
near neighbors, school advantages
and some few other fancies of life
we console ourselves with this quota
ton:
"There is never a rose without a
thorn"
May I sign myself!

SEEKS TO AVERT
ANNUAL LOSSES
BUSINESS FAILURES CAN BE
LARLELY AVOIDED IF MER-
CHANTS WILL KEEP BOOKS.

If the business men of America
had kept real records of their trans
actions, the commercial losses during
the year 1913 would never have
amounted to $160,OO0,000, according
to the National Association of Credit
Men, which believes that $75,000,-
600 in trade losses can be averted an
nually if accurate records of COM
mercial transactions are kept Hence
the association has prepared for dis
tribution among its $4,000 members
text book which inst1ucts them
how to ascertain if they are making
money or are in business solely for
the benefit of their customers. The
book is based upon Investigations
made by the associations business
service committee, composed of some
of the foremost merchants in the
country, which disclosed that thou
sands of concerns throughout the
United States are losing money daily
and do not know it because they fail
to keep posted on their activities.
"Prior to last year, the annual loss
es through bad accounts totalled
$200,000,000 per annum," said J.
Harry Tregoe, secretary treasurer of
the association, on Saturday. "Most
business failures occur in cases where
merchants have a capital of less than
$4,000. A QUESTIONABLE, which was
sent out by the association, to learn
the cause of business failures result
ed in the receipt of 10000 answers
which declared that the principal
cause of trade losses was the failure
to keep books. Little realized that
their financial difficulties are due to
lack of information regarding whether
or not they are prospecting, most bust.
ness men attribute their failure to
other causes
"a Business Enterprise" is the title
of the complimentary primer being
mailed to members of the association
It is being circulated solely to i'm
press the merchants of the country
with the necessity of equipping them
selves with sufficient information to
tell whether or not they are making
money and so as to be able to take
prompt action, if necessary, to avoid
bankruptcy. In issuing this text book
the association is cooperating with
the government, bankers and manu-
facturers generally, who look with
marked disfavor upon those mer-
chants who do not keep business
records that actually show the true
condition of their financial affairs.
The backbone of the system urged
| by the Business Service Committee,
is the keeping of accounts through
the medium of the checkbook, a
simple ledger, and small file box.
| The book does not boast of any of the
numerous advertised bookkeeping
systems, and in issuing the primer
the association stresses the point that
it is not trying to sell anything itself.
In brief, the book is intended solely as
means of educating merchants to
the necessity for better business
methods.
