The Hospitals. \
The doctors are kind as a rule
•Dll good neighbors, but there
are exceptions to the rule. Not
that any are unkind, but we are
about to say that hospital bills
are getting hard to pay, and we
have lived to see a day when ■ 0
many have to go, or are taken
to hospita 8 fOi' Uealinent, that
it is getting to be an expensive
thing to get well. Sometimes
we think it would be k^out as
well to let a fellow dip^as to bur
den him with a debt that will give
him trouble the remainder of bis
days, maybe put him outdoors,
fpake a tenant of a man who once
was well fixed.. They' may not
he charging too hiucb, but we
do know that getting sick is a
irtfr TJXOV- eTpensive, thsG it 23ed
to be. The doctors charge more,
•nd then thdpe are torses if a
^llow is not taken to a hospital,
'^ut this is like everything else!
It just costs more for every thing
,, The doctor must get monejf^ to
.y nil kinds of taxes So per
ta# we might 1)6 unfair, still we
kind of weather comes not more
than a half dozen times in a
hundred years, that is in tbio
part of the state.
Farming a Gnesi
The farmers of the country
are taking the risk of paying out,
nr making a debt of $700 per one
horse crop. They mav make it.,
that Ij they wmII if they make
good crops and then get/'good
prices for what they /make.
Now compare farming .With any
other bu.siness. Therer are some
things in the ^hri^ of solvent
credits in any oilier business,
notes, mortgages/ some kind of
securities to prjgvent loss, and
the' hazard is; not sa great.
Something tanigibie stands spon
sor for the risks taken But not
so with farming. The weather,
the insects, Ahe animals and
fowls, then tomes the business
manipulat'^ that play a game
in the ifi^Ykets that may gel
what theyother hazards have let
get by. TStill, it must be done,
or the whole world will starve.

Home Desboyed by Fire.
The home of Mr. J. H. Austin
was destroyed by fire last Friday
afternoon at 4 o’clock. The home

the firemen and others were
promptly on the scene and ren
dered valuable.service The fire

alarm was given, as the family
w’ereout, and a neighbor,Rev. M.
A Kay, discovered the building
was on fire and gave the alarm
Only a portion of his furnishings
on the lower flour ^was saved.
Nothing upstair was saved. The
fire started on the roof.
Mr. Austin has been burned
out several times, mills, gins and
