THE AMERICUS DAILY TIMES-RECORDER: SUNDAY, AUGUST 0, 1891
FOOLISH CROAKERS,
As I am going to mar
ket on August 1st and
will need money, and
in order to get as much
as possible by that
time, have concluded
to reduce my stock.
HOW SOME MEN ALWAYS LOOK ON
THE DARK SIDE.
Largest, Finest
AND
Rest Assorted Stock
Of Groceries in the South.
The Americas Jewelry Co. will open for business about Aug. 20th
with a nioe line of everything usually kept in a first-class Jewelry
Store. Call and look at their new store on Jackson St. even if you
don’t care to purchase.

“I am completely disgusted with this
everlasting whining and croaking about
hard time* being right ahead!" exclaim
ed a well-known citizen.
“How la that, eolonelf’ queried the
reporter.
“Well,Til tell you. Amannowadaya
can’t go anywhere or talk with anybody
without having fired at him the cry of
‘hard time* are coming, and cotton icon
won't be worth a cent a pound,’ and all
that aort of poverty-stricken rubbish 1 I
say I am sick of this bosb. How do
these croakers know that the price of
cotton is going to fall still lower?
Where do they get their Information?
Haven’t we just as many people in this
world to clothe and feed as we had fifty
years ago? Are not the wants of the
human family just as numerous as they
ever were?”
“That’s so,colonel; you’re right But
the fact is, there is a scarcity of money
among the people. —

sented.
NO OLD STOCK!

and everything he best that cash
money can buy. Nothing too fine
for my customers.

For Spot Cash
You can exercise lots of Sense with a very few Dollars nowadays.
We nefed Dollars and we don't hesitate to say that we are after those
dollars—if you need a Refrigerator—don't you hesitate to come after
one—a very few dollars wlll buy a first-class Modern refrigerator and
you will get the good of thoso dollars in a hundrod senses.
Low Down
You will admit that,
eh, Colonel?” a ildly suggested the re
porter.
“No, sir; I'll admit nothipg of the
kind. Scarcity of money? Bah I There
never was as much cash in the country
as there is to-day. The only trouble ap
pears to be that aome poor old dried up
souls, who are as sapless as a squeezed
lemon, have got the idea that there is
going to be another flood, and that they
must proteot themselves against the
rain by hoarding up a handful of old
greasy bank notes. Now In the name of
all that Is decent, what are these old
grannies going to gain by burying their
money out of sight?”
“Well, colonel, that ia the chief rea
son why money is scarce—because many
people are afraid to put it oat—to in
vest It"
“Why should any man who lias any
claim to be regarded as human entertain
snob Idiotic nonsense. What right has
anybody to block the wheels of trade or
interrupt the happtneai of his fellow-
man by hugging the delusion that
when the time of trouble comes he will
escape with the few dollars that he has
on a little private ark of his own. Are
such men aware that tills vast human
family has claims each upon the other?”
“Well, colonel, what would you sug
gest—what la your remedy?”
“Oh, I would atop all this bugaboo
bosh abouthardtlmos; Inaugurate anew
era of confidence in mankind, and talk
cotton np instead of talking it down.
Isn’t it justas easy to prophesy that times
will be good as to be constantly croak
ing about hard times. Why not believe
that nine-tenths of mankind are straight
