The time to begin saving money is when you are
young. Any man can accumulate a fortune during
a life of seventy years, by saving a few hundred dol
lars every year and wisely investing his savings.
O
An Ocllla man of an inquiring turn of miml the
other day stood at the monument and counted seven
ty-seven automobile* in sight at one* time. It was
his conclusion that, people still have money to do what
they want to do. —Ocilla Star.
O
Losing Money.
Hie farmers are not the only ones that have lost
money this year. We appreciate the fact that they
are hard up against it during these depressing times,
and believe that with proper management tiny will
work out of their present, plight all right. But others
have lost money, also.
In discussing this question, the Moultrie Observer
says: “Read the advertisements of newspapers. Take
note of the announcements of merchants that they are
offering their stocks of new fall and winter merchan
dise at “half price.”
What does that mean?
It means that merchants got caught out. They
looked for good business and bad business came in
stead, Now they are trying to get from under. They
■will have to take a loss. They cannot sell at half
price and come out. They will sell, in many cases,
for less than they paid for merchandise. This loss
follows other losses that came lust season. They
have many accounts on their books. They ure mak
ing slow progress in collecting these accounts. There
are very few lines of business that do not register
losses Instead of profits these days.”
If the old saying is true that misery lores com
pany, the farmers can know that they have plenty
of company in these days of financial depression.

The conflicting reports sent out from Atlanta about
the sale and price of liquor has caused Bro. Mc-
Whorter of the Winder News to get confused. Bro.
Mercer, the king Bee of the prohibition cause, an
nounced only a few days ago that Fulton was the wet
test county in the state. Then a report was sent out
from someone else in that city stating that the price
of liquor had dropped from sls per gallon to $2.00,
causing the blockaders of the mountains to quit the
business an go to doing something else. These reports
have caused the editor of the News to Insert the fol
lowing notice of inquiry in his paper: “There Is said
to be a slump in tlx* price of mountain dew. Will Bro.
Townsend of Dablonega, please quote us the latest
price?” Yes sir, with pleasure. Since the big corn
crop has matured the price of pure liquor has ad
vanced and now selling at from $2.50 to $.1.00 per gal
lon, and no one, not even a preacher, can get it for a
cent less. —Dahlonega Nugget.
Money Is Becoming Valuable
Two years ago money was very cheap. That was
the time to save it. The time to get hold of all val
uable things Ls when they are cheap. Those who
saved their money two years ugo are realizing now
that It has twice the purchasing power that it had at
that time. In other words, every dollar that was
laid away then is worth two dollars at the present
time. Now is a good time to buy property if you have
-the money. Dollars will buy twice as much property
at the present time as they did two or three years ago.
Tlie mistake that most of us made was In spending
our dollars when they were cheap, and now, when
they have become valuable and other property cheap,
we have not the dollars to take advantage of the op
portunities that present themselves for making good
investments. The time of all times in which to save
money Is when it is cheap and likewise the time to in
vest money Is when it is valuable. Now is a good
time to invest.

Johnnie Spencer, of the Macon Telegraph, received
the following letter the other day, and being among
