See’y A Treas. “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. — OLOK Everything guaranteed as repre sented. NO OLD STOCK! Fresh Goods Every Day. FINEST FLOUR, SWEETEST IT A MS, FRESHEST BUTTER, HIGHESG TRADE COFFEE, PUREST LEAF LARD, FULL HEAD RICE, and everything he best that cash money can buy.

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 E. D.
