Notwithstanding the extremely short crop t
and low price of cotton, our correspondent* c
tell us the Formers ii'c doing all in their li
power to pay their debts. If fherc are any w
cases of trying to evade tho payment of 0
honest debts, by doubtful or dishonest oi
means, they arc "few and for between," and
we have not henrd of them. There are p
always many who lake advantage of the cry p{
of bard times and scarcity of money to post- c:
"generally como round nff right, after IT little Tf
spurring. p,
We speak what we know when we say tho cc
merchants of this town are willing ami mix- m
ions to meet the Farmers on the most liberal t,,
arrangements for past indebtedness", and to tli
extend to them nil the accommodations for
the next year which their own capital and i,t
the credit they can command will permit.
Of course this cannot lie expected of them in tt,|
cases whoro no effort or n/iowing is made to (\
make an honest settlement of the past. p!,
In this time of doubt nnd depression
among tho farmers of this County, we feel j0
nsstired that they will find tho merchants of ,j17>iion
ready to help them tide over their
present troubles, upon the most liberal 1
terms. ??
