LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
Have Prices Touched Bottoms

EDITORS APPEAL-This is the question one
merchant asks the other. While we think
that provisions, grain, cotton and manufac-
tured articles are cheap, we do not consider
the prices too low; and there is yet room for
shrlnkage and still leave profit to those en-
gagged in the handling of it. The only prob
lem now to be solved is, What are the neces-
sary expenses to carry on the business? and
what are the unnecessary expenses? Success
will be on the side of those who understand
this commercial riddle. In 1913, mess pork
was sold at seven dollars and fifty cents, and
other things In proportion. There are only
few things yet that are bound to decline;
that Is rent and wages. And In the course of
few years landlords will be satisfied when
their investments will net them from four to
five per cent, and those who receive from six
to eight hundred dollars wages per annum
will call themselves happy. Those who are
able to read the signs of the time will have
statement. "Ask your fathers and they will
explain to you, and your grandfathers and
they will tell you?" H.

pupils. The building itself is the
most conveniently constructed for school
purposes of any in the city. Miss Mamie
Thompson presided at the piano with grace,
and gave her accomplishments In most ar
tistie manner. Duets, dialogues, recitations,
and solos were the order Of exercises, all
we'll rendered. One particularly pleased US:
Bother the Men," not only for It's wording,
but the spirited manner with which it was
given. Rosa Cobbs. bright little girl, was
awarded a medal labeled Diligence" She
had never been tardy nor absent a day. Mrs.
Thompson's pupils reflect much credit on her
training. Her own dignity, grace, and suau-
ite,' in mode are unsurpassed as a presiding
genius. After repeated solicitations, Colonel
Leath favored the visitors and pupils with
an address replete with historical incidents,
illustrating the great advantages of
education, the benefits derived from
close observation and order. Just here, he
pronounced high eulogy on the order of
Clay street building, saying it excelled that
cf any other in the city, for which well-de-
served compliment Mr.. Sampson expressed
the qualification it gave himself and teachers
to be so well noticed by the superintendent.
He then Intercepted his pupils on the pur-
port of Colonel Leath's address. HIS ques-
tons were promptly and rightly answered.
All passed off joyfully, and visitors and Wis
tied left feeling well satisfied with their en-
tertainment
