The Outlook for Business m em--Cash
ON the Nail the True Principle.


The house of Melvin, Silcott & Co.,
general dry goods dealers in Washington
C. H., went into business about one year
ago, determining to sell their good for
cash down, or keep them on their shelves.
To this resolve, in the main, they have
strictly adhered. Having just completed
a careful invoice of their stock, and other
assets, they find they have made little
money are on firm basis for future bus
iness. This experience tells them that
this is the only true and successful way
to do business, and have, therefore, de-
eided, for the year to come, to do a strict
ly cash business; do it cheaply, sell their
goods at the closest margins, buy their
goods for cash, avail themselves of the
discounts, and thereby be enabled to give
the consumer the benefit of their expert
ence. This course, they think, will do
more to build up their trade than any
thing they can do. Ever since they have
been In business their stock has been full
and complete, always keeping on hands
goods of the very best quality. They
have assorted out of their stock, while
taking their invoice, large lot of rem
nants, and goods a little out of date,
which they have arranged on what they
call their "chea9-tAhls," which custom
ers should not faiEto consult, as many ol
these goods are offered at less than one
half their true value, and are just as gooC
as the most fashionable goods on their
shelves. They have large line of ready
made clothing on hand, which they have
concluded to close out at less than the
original cost. That large line of cloaks
are fast disappearing from their cloak
room, and no wonder, for the price is sc
low that a lady can't resist the tempta-
tion to take one.
They intend to fill up their stock early
in the season with all of the best fabric
and latest novelties, and sell them fol
cash, at the very closest margin.

A Gentle Hint.

In our style of climate, with its sudden
changes of temperature,-rain. wind and
sunshine often intermingled in single
day,-it is no wonder that our children,
friends and relatives are so frequently
taken from us by neglected colds, half
cause. A bottle of Boschee's German
Syrup kept about your home for immedi-
ate use will prevent serious sickness, a
large doctors bill, and perhaps death, by
the use of three or four doses. For cur
ing Consumption, Hemorrhages, Pneu-
monia, Severe Coughs, Group or any dis
ease of the Throat or Lungs, its success is
simply wonderful, as your druggist will
tell you. German Syrup is now sold in
every town and village on this continent.

The American costume, which has of late
been introduced into Japan, being worn

Mr.. JAMES GRAHAM was born in Perry township,
Pickaway county, Ohio, Sept. 8th, 1918, and died
Jan. Sth. 1875 in YankeetOwn, Madison township,
Fayette county, less than six miles from where he
was born and had always lived.
He was raised by Christian mother, who was
left widow, and poor, when he was but years of
age, whose highest ambition to bring up an
honest, Christian family, who was ever revered
and loved by this her youngest son. Mr.. Graham,
true to these teachings, remarked among his very
last words: SIT is worth everything else now to
have good conscience"
He was united in marriage to his bereaved wild
Ow-then Sarah JOnes-May 9th, lS41, by whom was
born unto him children; five of whom still live,
and revere him much for his strict Christian in
tegrity and teaching as for his amiable and afec-
tiOnate parental devotion. His whole life was
perpetual sacrifice to the comfort and honor of his
wife and children.
He united with the Church of his choice in Aug.
1s45, whose doctrines and usages he loved and de-
Tended, and whose offices of Leader, Steward, Re
cording Steward and Trustee, he most of the time
filled with great zeal and acceptability His ideI-
ity to conviction in small things was among his
noblest virtues. Among his last words were as
surances to his fsmily, who were present, that his
Christian life had not been failure. His end was
peace and his future buOyant, with the hope of a
glorious immortality. J. E. MOORE

was never heard to utter a word of complaint;
patiently she bore all. With malice toward none,

Through life she gave evidence of living Chris

Christian death. Truly, in the midst of life
