A Good Suit Of Clothes

A Barnesville lawyer appeaxed before his friends in a new and costly suit of clothes recently, says the Atlanta Constitution. When he named the price a bystander exclaimed: "Whew! I haven't had that much cash in a month of Sundays." "Cash!" exclaimed the lawyer. "Why, I got it on credit and I shatn't lose any sleep if I never pay for it. I think tum about's fair play and the other fellow can afford to do without it." And, lifting himself to his full height and buttcmmg his coat across his chest, he oontinued: "No, gentlemen, I neverintend to wear a shabby suit. A mam jast cau't afEord to do it. Nobody has anjrespect for shabbiness. Why, I couldn't gain. a case ií I wore shabby clothes if I had the eloquence of a Demosthenes or Cicero, not if aJl the law and the propliets were on my side. A jury just woukln't respect me enough to listen to me and the judg-e himself would give his decisión to my outward appearanoe. No, sir, a man cam't afford to wear shabby clothes."
