"LINSEED COMPOUND," of 40 years' proven efficacy for Coughs, Colds, Bronchitis, etc. So rare are the occasions upon, which, long outstanding debts are discharged, that when they occur they f are deserving of more than passing i note, remarks the Christchurch. Press, j Just recently a number of creditors • of a one-time Sydenham tradesman j iiave been agreeably surprised by the : payment of debts that long ago they I gave us as bad and doubtful. It ap- ; pears that the tradesman referred to ' tnet with a serious financial reverse ! come thirty years ago; with him at that time "disaster followed fast and followed faster," with the result that he called his creditors together to tell them that he would pay them when he could. Some were content with this undertaking, whilst others, naturally, considered it altogether too vague. Since then the erstwhile tradesman has prospered, and recently visited the city and paid his oldtime creditors in..full. In one instance the amount was close upon £150. Needless almost to say that the most astonished people are those who, at the time, considered the debtor's promise "to pay when he could" too vague and unsatisfactory.
