Use the parcels post for sending to town for small articles. ? ? * Begin to think of the parcels post as a reality to be taken ad von t ago of rather tiiati talked about. ? ? * .ludging from the record made in the first two <|ays of the general ses sions court, Judge Shipp must be a fast sailer. # * ?

AVMth the prospect so promising for a good crop and fair prices, many good people who have fallen behind in their accounts during the past couple of years will be enable 1 to come to the aid of their creditors by meeting these obligations. An.I this is as it ought to be. In many instances accounts are so far overdue that the interest on them has eaten up the profits and have gone into the original cost of the pur chases. Merchants in ovt ry cominuni ty of the county, and other counties for that matter, have been sorely pushed during the past few months to meet their own obligations because of these overdue accounts and they are expecting their customers to come for ward and meet them so that, they too may got back into the good graces of their bankers ami wholesale dealers. ? ? ?
