Hendrix has associated with him in the grocery and provision business, his son, Mr. C. B. Hendrix. We like to see young men following in the footsteps of their fathers, when a good example o f thrift and industry has been set them. With such exam ples before them, they should easily continue and improve an establish ed business, in which they have been trained from their youth up. Just here let us remark that Agricul ture in this country is a business up on which all other business is largely dependent, and as it is commendable for young men to follow in the road opened by their fathers, we would say to young farmers, stick to the old homestead—improve and beauti fy it, for after all there is no nobler, happier, easier or more independent life than tilling the soil. But to re turn, we congratulate our young friend Mr. C. B. Hendrix upon his promotion, and believe that his youth, energy and capacity will give new life to the old business. He has a fine business education, attractive manners, energy and push, and the old man will find in him a secure prop for the old house. Go right ahead Charlie, and don’t forget that Judi cious advertising is one of the helps to keep up a live business.
