is on the threshold of sound business
expansion. The note of optimism has
been loudly sounded. There will be
exceptions, of course, and if we reap
the harvest of a year of success, we
will have to buckle down to do our
level best each day.
Many will build substantial success
es in the year 1927, and the doubters
will continue to sleep, all of which
means just this: Success goes to the
men of vision and purpose, and failure
is found where men think failure, talk
failure, and act like failures.
Anybody can find weak spots in any
year in the history of our nation, and
still we have continued every year to
go ahead. In the year that has just
dawned, many are bound to go ahead,
CAUSE FOR THANKS
At the close of the year 1926, our
community has much to be thankful
for. Standing at the forefront as a
source of gratification to all, is the
fact that the city has registered no
failure among its banks, a matter of | indifference and failure into success,
no little significance during a year
when some of the seemingly strongest
have tottered. At the same time, the
public has been served faithfully and
well and gladly by these institutions.
No city or community can go for
ward without adequate banking insti
tutions, holding the confidence of the
people. Clinton is indeed fortunate
in this particular, and has every rea
son to be proud of her banks and bank
ers.
Fair will not be eclipsed, but Clinton’s
fair will not either. Free admission.
The ladies have met with great en
couragement. They feel quite sure
that this will be the event of the sea

POST CARD RATES
It appears that the ridiculousness of
the present rate on private post cards
has at last dawned upon the minds of
Congressmen, as a bill has been pass
ed by the house restoring the rate of
one cent to these cards, and it is like
ly that similar action will be taken by
the Senate.
Under the present law. which has
been in effect nearly two years, the
government will furnish ready stamp
ed postal cards and transmit them at
the rate of one cent each. But if a
private individual furnishes his own
card, he must pay two cents for its
transmission in the mails.

PROFITABLE POULTRYING
What a W»<ie county (N. C.) farm
er achieved in a modest venture in
poultrying may inspire some of our
farmers to switch from the old beaten
path of cotton or ordinary farming
operations. According to a written
report submitted to the farm agent of
Wake county, A. E. Allen derived from
a small flock of purebred Rhode Is
land Reds $3,602.35 at a feed cost of
$1,500, during ten months of 1926.
“Mr. Allen has a small farm flock
of pure bred birds wnich he diligently
cares for. He has a home-made poul
try house and home-made brooder
houses built simply and well, but with
no great outlay of cash. During the
past year, he kept an average of 379
heAs and 14 cocks. From the hens he
c leceived and sold 44,667 eggs for
which he received $1,565.42. He also
sold 1,119 cull hens, pullets and broil
ers weighing 3,673 pounds for $1,312.-
92. He kept 281 pullets for breeding
purposes and theie at $2 are worth
$562. He kept 34 cockerels which, at
$3 each, are worth at least $60 which
makes a total income of $3,602.25
from the birds this season.
“Having only a small acreage this
Wake county poultryman had to pur
chase practically all of his feed, and
this cost around $1,500, leaving him a
profit of $2,102.35.
