THURSDAY, JANUARY 3. fSM:
It is of vital importance that the quality and quantity of the cotton of our
section should be kept at the highest standard. A county with a reputation
for growing fine cotton always has plenty of brings top
prices After thoroughly investigating SALSBURY Cotton and the high
standing of the firm that produces it, we believe its introduction would be a
great benefit to our community and have undertaken its distribution m this
vicinity. p or p ar ticulars Sec or Write

Retrospective hours are here again. Men
of families pause to weigh achievements of the
past twelve months. It is good time wasted—
unless costly experiences are converted into
firm resolves to make the coming year a better
one.
Responsibilities make men great. Do not
despair at failures of the past. They are gone.
The thing that now interests you most is “how
to care for your family properly—and at old age
find yourself independent of charity.”
The answer is a simple one. Spend less
than you earn —and save the difference. Yoil’ll
be surprised how soon you can put dollars to
work for you. They will earn your ease and
comfort.
