A cotton buyer, who was in
town a few days ago, reports
that Stephens county has a bet-
ter crop of cotton than is to be
found between here and Dallas.
He also says the prospects for a
cotton crop are far ahead of any-
thing we have had in a number
of years. Stephens county does
not make a good crop every year,
but when there is a good one it
makes up for all the past fail-

If you thought for a minute
that wheat and oats were all cut
you will have to take- another
think, for the mowers and bind-
ers are going out of town by the
wagon load; every day you will
see them, four to six wagons
loaded and moving fast for the
golden fields in good old young
county. 1913 is no hoodoo, for
this county, it means big crops
of everv conceivable commodity;
corn will average 20 to 30 bush-
els per acre, and everything else
in proportion. What more could '
you ask?
There is a natural law of the
survival of the fittest, which is
well. The good business man
gets along. When the season is
dull he don’t waste his time bel-
- lyaching at circumstances, he
draws on his store of surplus en-
ergy. increases his advertising
appropriation and gets by.
Sometimes it seems for a time
that an unwarranted prosperity
attends the pessimistic person
who simply waits, but in the
long run it‘s"the booster that gets
the grapes. Nature is slow at
times, but persistent and always
sure. It takes years for drop-
ping water to wear away a stone,
but it wears. Persistency counts.
The merchant who advertises is
a booster he’ll get the grapes.
Persistency scores again. When
an advertiser takes your business
away from you Mr. I-Don’t-Be-
lieve-It-Will-Pay, remember Na-
ture’s law of “the survival of the
fittest.” Get in the game! Ol-
ney Enterprise.
Good advice—while the princi-
ple involved is centuries old and
tried and true, it holds good to
this day and will win out every
time.

itor ami a -few other things it
was not what might tx? termed a
great success. In fact it was
losing money and losing it at a
rate that almost turned young
Bennett's hair gray. Then he
noticed the eagerness with which
men asked each other about the
latest reports from the financial
market. That gave him his tip.
Next day Bennett printed a full
report of financial conditions
the first money article ever pub-
lished in America. It proved the
wedge that gave the Herald its
success.
