of the whole state became better

graded schools arose in every

COURTHOUSE BONDS
County Sells $1,000 Bond.

For over a year the county
commissioners have endeavored
to sell the 100000 bonds where

courthouse. Many bids were re-
ceived, but none were satisfac.
tory. %
On Aug. 31st a dozen bidders
were here with bids, but the best
offered was 98.2, which would
have been equivalent to selling
the 100000 bonds for $l95,8O0.
This the Board refused to do.
On last Friday a deal was
made with the bond firms of
Prudden & Co., and Spitzer,
Rorick & Co., of Toledo, Ohio,
whereby they have agreed to
take the 100000 issue at par,
with accrued interest and a
premium of $3.50. And so the
bonds have at last been sold, at
a good price, and the funds
should be in hand very soon.
Plans for the new courthouse
have been drawn, but not finally
accepted, and it is very. probable
that actual work on a new build
ing will begin before the end Of
January.

FARMERS. AND THE GOLDEN
RULE.

AS a rule farmers are honest,
upright and fair.
However, we have observed all our
lives that we fail ITO see ourselves
as others see US"
The writer has servedSthe public
in various capacities. He has oper-
ated a sorghum mill, a cotton gin,
thresher, a saw mill, cotton oil
mill, taught school, served four
years as county superintendent Of
education and six years as assistant
state superintendent OF education
all before entering farm demonstra-
ton work in which he served first
as county agent, then district agent
and finally as assistant state agent.
In these varied positions, his obser'
vations have been that all classes
of people have their virtues and
their shortcomings Each class
can see the faults of other classes
better than the faults of their own
classes. We farmers know how to
criticise the other classes, much OF
which criticism is just and some OF
which is unjust.
Let's Look At Self
We have seen patrons of the mo-
lasses mill bring cane to the mill
over-ripe and under-ripe, covered
with dry fodder which would absorb
laHge quantities of juice and then
complain that they got less syrup OF
poorer quality than patrons who
were more careful with their pro:
duct.
We have threshed grain for peo-
pie who were too stingy and mean
to furnish a decent meal for thresh-
er hands, and when we returned to
collect the toll, they brought out "a
bag of trashy failing with which
to pay the toll.
We have seen cotton brought to
the gin too wet to be decently gin
aed and heard their complaints OF q
''knoppy" sample and of short
weights ut the weigher's platform
the next day when they sold it, wa
ter and all us they thought, forget
ting the injunction: be sure your
sins will find you out"
We have anown cotton bales to be
placed over TIE we'll for days to alb
sorb moisturo before hauling to
market.
We have seen false wagon stan
dards with 4 to 6 inch shoulders
turned inward to make a narrow
Iigh load of wood Containing only
3-4 OF cord) hook like cord on the
market, and then heard the same
man abuse his merchant fon a short
