.IY28, we open our ewes eve Des sdk and 5oot *
'aEoqiia ato9 a an". find out some of the things
.,aast; S s""Jk place. And we find that
aNSESssScr r4cally no cotton is being made,
N.Y. very little efforts are being made
"a S8hake cotton. And instead of cot
ION gins at every cross roads, we find
Several grain elevators in different
1Nasrts of the county. We also find
}sSg2, or three sweet potato flour
YE.ksiness, and more and more of our
W }rmers are making arrangements to
Alake potatoes for this purpose. And
addition to the grain elevators and
we potato flour business, lots of live
fst5 fsSt5ock is now being raised. And every
~ ICY seems to, be happy, the taxes are
pEieduced considerable, and it really be-
again, but that instead of a few
"BOSSES," giving orders as to what
people can plant and what they can't
Is thing of the past, and the old day
of doing business on credit is thing
of the past. What man buys he
. paEIs for and gets it at fair price,
= anS the man that heretofore bought
STUFF without ever expecting to pay
for 1t, and stood back and let the good
honest fellow pay two prices for his
merchandise to make up for tho fel- !

much better just paying for his own
goods, and the fellow Who heretofore
= thae had not been paying is getting
! aloRg just as we'll, and is a much bet |
ter man, because he has gone to work |
and does not have time to study uni
his devilment and does not have time |
TO &C. around and talk about his neigh

them. And the people as whole are
Just simply getting along very fine.
When it comes to the merchants thew
are, the happest set of people we
ever saw, they have no accounts on
"a TA5lE books, nothing to worry about,
FS when bill of goods come in thew
w. pay the "long green," and get it
sS cheap that they can sell it the same
he "dying truth" of the whole
Ssss IS we are living on just about
ago, and are living so much better ;,
until we have just about forgotten
: that3we ever did depend on cotton for
our money crop. Having learned by
this time that it is not money we
= needed, something to eat, pure and
clean, honest people to deal with, and !,
a satisfied people from the mountain
Co' the sea. And this we are now en-
Jdying; the chain gangs are thinly
populated, the penitcntiarys are hiring
men for the lack Of labor, the county
.JallS. are just about empty, and the
Aguafdhouses are worthless propertv
now. And the "blue coat, brass but
ton wearers" heretofore have laid
down their "'regalia,"' and gone to the
conntry and are raising "hog and
fdminy." And folks can 20 to town
and come back and not be slapped"
on the shoulder. Just a dream, let's
let it come to pass n
The Radcliffe Chautauuua poonlo
4 wereRhere this week for three davs,
t9a program it is said was grand, but
the attendance was far below Sum
merton's average heretofore. This is
very strong evidence that there is
= rule, she good people of Summcrton
never let a good thing go by without
reaplng the benefits. The failure of
I the pyhlic to attend these attractions
is very much regretted because It
SmeanSa a loss to a number of our good
and true patriotic citizens who guar
anteefS the payment of these interest
ing EDUCATING and elevatng attrac-
atoms, But realizing fully they we're
,yeonBto suffer loss so far as dollars
sand cssnts is concerned the guarantors
were big hearted enough to admit
everybody under age of 16 free the
aastthight. Those present on this
night were treated to mastcrly adj
dreses' on the financial situation of the
country for the last hundred wears.
IT IS said this address contains q
WONDERFUL amount of real logic.
