Will our city fathers tell the

May have be«n wld, and the
price received for the same. It
is said by those who claim te
know what they are talking about
that thei bonds have been bar
gained away for a price much un

they brought less than ninety-
five cents on the dollar. We
are further t6ld that the city
charter provides; that they sh&fi
not be sold for less than par.
Let the tax payers know the net
price received for the boncfe, or
better still, call the citizens and
tax payers ^ether and let them
ratify or reject the bond sale. H

streets of the city looks as if the
garbage wagon had turned over
in each one of them, there are
boxes, barrels and every conceiv
able kind of trash right on the

houses. Fair time is nearly here
so Itet us clean up and show the
visitors that v7e have the best

Let our town officers get busy
and see that those who are re

warned to do better in the future.
Who will be the first to start the

A Personal Poem.
Several poems and near poems
on debt paying are going tha
rounds, the following has been
handed in and we pass it along
for what it is worth:
If by the public you would be
admired,
And a right spirited sense of
honor you desire;
Then of the poor merchant don't
credit require.
But cash in hand foots up the
requisite desire.
Remember to credit is dangei'-
ously in the extreme.
Hence be sure with a record of
spot cash you be seen*,-
Merchants troubles by the hun
dreds are tallied.
Thence lessen said troubles by
spot cash rallied.
Knowing the human heart to lie
so atrociously corrupt.
Thence disposing of goods on
time means to merchants by
millions a bankrupt;
Learn to be spirited right and
tempered good and pay as
you go,
Thus proving the ideal model to
to all humanity full well
you know.
To beat the merchant, who worl s
and studies so hard, is a
damnable sin.
Aspire a blessing to your country
be known and this damnabl e
sin never begin.
If heart is right you will reluct
antly attempt the heinous
credit rule.
But stand by and defend the
greatest of all—the golden
rule.
Further remember that North
Carolina is minus a statute
at merchants command,-
Thus a paramount settlement—
cash down-—dispensing with
credit demands.
To owe your merchant, or worse
merchants, and never, never
pay would be a thrice awful
slam,
Thus to do would fix your destiny
throughout eternity as not
only doomed, but damned.
