Not so Rad.
Although the farmers have had a
bad year and find money scarce, we
should remember that these draw--backs
will come occasionally, and we

tide over bad luck, and this they will
do now. The merchants and busi
ness men, of course, feel the depres
sion as well as the farmers, but it on
ly requires a little extra exertion to
keep up. It is hardly the case that
two poor crops come together, and
better times are ahead.

very critical, with hopes however,
that he will recover, although several
days may elapse before a decided
opinion can be given.
