There is no law forbidding merchants
refusing credit to any person they
see fit, and when a merchant sells
his goodB on credit it is as an
accommodation to the consumer
and if such consumer has no apprtg
ciation of the favor extended and
wilfully neglects to make a reasona¬ of the

then he should be com¬
pelled to pay as he buys. It is better

worthy man has been
for the necessities of life because of
the merchant’s unpleasant experience
with bad debtors, bnt this system
will tend to obviate all that, because
the man who does respect his
credit will be known and have a
standing among merchants, while
the ‘‘dead beat” and others of his
kind will also be known to the mem¬
bers of this Agency and be absolute¬
ly refused credit; no matter if he re¬
moves to another town or State his
repntation as poor pay will follow
him, and the merchants in such new
place of residence will also refuse him
credit. This Agency issues a regular
and legal Abstract of unsettled ac¬
counts every sixty days, and a com¬
plete State-Bookindirtyand January

to forfeit $20 to his branch as a pen¬
alty in case he extends credit to a

debtor has had a full and fair oppor-
