A.s we have said before, the merchant in the rural South has performed only half his function when he has arranged for farmers to pay him a profit on what he has to sell-. It is also his duty to find a market for- what they have to sell, arid ne cannot demand that they serve him un less he also serves them. Arid he ought to serve them not merely iu taking their cotton, a' service in which he. usually takes (little .trouble and makes a fair profit, but it will pay him to serve: them by findirrg markets for farm , pro ducts in cases where it means that he must do intelligent and hustline to effect results! The Progressive Farmer. "Peace on Earth, Uood Will To Men" The writer has lived both; in town and country, and we fear sometimes that country ' people we less forgiving and more in-clin I to cherish grudges or suspici as than townspeople. This doesjnot mean that townspeople are afcy better than country people, lor in many respects they are orse. It does . seem, however, as if the more isolated " lives of country people make for uspicion, distrust, and prejudice gainst one's neighbors. It was I a wise saying of some philosopi-1 eri "Know one another and yon Wl11 love o-e another.'r Let People meet together frequently 'o they can talk bverv differences ami each get the others viewpoint, and each will havd more respect tor the.other.

Goodr-will. good will it is indeed one of 5 the crying needs of our time. As a rule a man reveals his own character by his estimate of others. The man who loves other men is likely to be man himself worth loving. The . . man who distrusts other men is usuallv a man who is himself to be distrusted. As a rule it may be said that we may trust the man who trusts and doubt the man who doubts. And in order to promote good will get your neighbors together in churches, Sunday Schools, farmers' clubs, cooperative societies, and get them together as often as possible as visitors one family, to. another. Finally as a practical exercise in good will let us suggest just this New Year resolution; that during 1915 you will seize every opportunity to speak a. word of praise for every neighbor you have and try to. help every one who has done a" worthy thing, ; beginnings of course! by making friends with any man from whom you may have been heretofore estranged. ? Let's live good will as well as orofess it! There's no other vra.f to "keep Christmas" the Christ- mas spirit always in our hearts! ClarenVe Foe,.itt Ther Progies- sive Farmer.
