Farmer Has Good Crop and
Good BanK Account.
It makes one feel good to come in
contact with a farmer who has
made a success-ot his business. We
saw .Mr. T.L. Kelly,of \rp, Banks
county on the streets a few days
ago, wearing a Taft, smile. When
asked to explain it he said: Well
I’ve worked hard and made a good
crop, but I have made clear money
this year. Looks like 1 will make
more money this year than I can
spend all next year. lam living
high, going all the gaits, spending
all 1 can, but I will have a pile of
money left. I will make 50 bales of
cotton this year, and will have
$1500.00 cle ir after 1 pay 11 ex

Foolish Self-Condemnation.
No comfort for the living or the
dead can be won from vain self-con

gained while you nurse the imagining

try to escape from other troubles that
are truly avoidable —troubles of a
useless remorse, a present neglect, a
listless apathy that will not reach
