The post master at Fort Worth (Texas) recently received a check for $7,800 from a well known New York mail order house; this amount was to pay postage on eight car loads of catalogues that are on their way to Fort Worth to be sent out from there by mail. This is indicative that it pays to advertise, and the firm that does this gets its share of the busi ness, while the man that does not sits around with a long face and wonders why times are so hard. Shake off that grouchy look for it scares away your cus tomers. Advertise and smile.— Brookshire (Texas) Times. There is nothing surprising about cotton going up in value at this season of the year. It al ways advances after the farmers unload what they produce. There are reasons for it. The speculators and spinners can tell the size of a crop, because it is all in, and they run the price up to make Mr. Farmer plant heav ily for the next season. They can afford to pay a high price for what little they buy now in or der to force low prices for what they will have to buy next sea son.—Valdosta Times. The Gazette has been preach ing for years that it pays to * ‘Buy at home” and now comes an ex perience of a Florida woman to prove it. A lady enroute from Madison. Fla., to Atlanta to do her shopping was robbed of $l5O while on a train near Macon. Had she purchased her spring attire at home she would not have been in danger of being robbed and besides would no doubt have ob tained better values at home than in Atlanta, but probably the Mad ison merchants are like some of those in Tifton and do not adver tise—therefore the trade doesn’t know what nice things they are offering—Tifton Gazette. Cash business. That sounds good. Along this line The Yan ceyville Sentinel has this to say: “Several business men have re marked that this is a fine year for doing cash business. The people are not asking for credit promiscuously—either from a sense of righteous economy or the fear of being ‘turned down.’ This is a good sign—a hopeful sign.”—Raleigh Observer. “Buy at home or don’t buy at all” is anew shibboleth. Add to it, “buy for cash or don’t buy at all, ” and it will be finer. How ever, some slogans are easier promulgated than lived up to. The “buy at home or not at all” rule, however, can be obeyed, and should be-Augusta Chronicle “Live at Home and Board at the Same Place.” Make your farm feed itself this year, Mr. Farmer. Every passing week only adds new evi dence that there is safety in no other plan. There is every prospect that on account of the advance in cot ton prices as compared with last fall’s low levels, farmers by the tens of thousands and perhaps hundreds of thousands will plant as big a cotton acreage as ever. The negro tenants know no other crop, and the line of least resis tance is to continue cotton. More over. thousands of supply mer chants will insist that their men raise cotton and buy supplies from the store. There is also grave danger that the acreage in tobacco and peanuts will be excessive. Far mers who raise peanuts for their hogs and “market their crops on the hoof” will get their profits all right, but we hear from many sections a fear of an overpro duction of market peanuts this year. And as for tobacco, we fear that overproduction there is al ready assured. The old tobacco sections realize that prices are already low, and are not likely to increase acreage, but many new sections are going to risk plant ing tobacco instead of cotton. The new sections sold tobacco early last year before prices slumped and do not realize how badly prices did drop. In view of all these thing we repeat that that the only safety this year and next lies in “living at home and boarding at the same place.”—The Progressive Farmer. A TEXAS WONDER.

You surely can have beau tiful hair and lots of it if you just try a little Danderine. Save your hair! Try it! ad 16, 1899. About ten days before her death she called her father to her and told him that she was going home to die no more. She was a favorite grandchild of Bro. George Ray and it was always a real joy to the writer to visit the home and find such sweet affec tion manifested between her and her grandfather. Besides her father, Mr. J. P. Ray, she is survived by an only brother, Master George Avery Ray. She was a sunbeam in the home as a flower, making life brighter and sweeter for the en tire family—but she could not stay always and therefore our Heavenly Father took her in ear ly life to join her loving mother, who preceded her only a few years. “A precious one from us is Rone, A voice we loved is stilled; A place is vacant in her home Which never can be filled. Her youth was lovely like the flower Of fairest bloom, which soon dies; The Gardener come at early hour And took her to the upper skies. She saw a hand you could not see, Which beckoned her away; She heard a voice you could not hear, Which would not let her stay.” Z. E. B AKRON.
