A CsIadium in Bloom.

Clarksvile Tobacco Leaf.l
Saturday last, through the kindness
Of MIS-. Lizzie Bib, a Leaf man was
shown the rare spectacle Of caladium
in bloom. Those who are acquainted
with the nature Of this dubious plant
will read this announcement with sur
prise. The caladium Tor, as it is more
familiarly krown, elephants ears" -
IS a large, SNOWY green plant, not un,
like the water lily, of which it is a
species its leaves are very wide. and
supported by long, flexible stems.
Recognized as bloomless, this freak
cannot be accounted for, unless it is
owing to the peculiar care with which
the plant has been cultivated. From
a bulb il has been well watered, par
ticularly at high noon, when the sun
was hottest. Frequently water, con-
tanning ammonia, was sprinll led upon
Il. Many thought The plant would be
Killed by this unusual treatment. The
bloom is similar in appearance 10 the
Gala lily, but larger aud more frag-
rant. A second bloom has almost
matured. although it is feared that
frost will prevent its attaining perfec-
ton, as the plant is OF a sensitive ma
uuro. Many have called to see tbia
n%nwonted SIGHT, in which material is
furnished for speculation. Mrs. Bib
Isl horiculturist Of experience, and
has devoted much of her time to the
culture Of flowers.

FORETHOUGHT.

Comparatively few people in our favor
ed land realize how little of the outlaE
for what they call their daily living is in
tact really essential to life, OF even to 4
moderate degree OF comfort; because
even among laboring people there is
usually latitude for individual tastes and
notions as to the manner of living, and
strict calculations as to close economy
are not generally entered into. With
them the principal evil result Of the hap
hazard course So common among all
classes is. that they rarely gather any
thing for a dependence in times Of sick
ness OF scarcity of work. and must there
fore depend upon public charity. But
among the class of people who seem to
be well-to-do and live in a manner that
would indicate abundant resources, this
want of careful calculation works differ
entity. In the first place every one in the
range Of such influence is educated up
to certain requirements which. il the
means for supplying them We're suddenly
withdrawn. leave the sufferer where. if
thrown upon such charity as suflices for
comfort to the laborer, would to them lie
worse than death. Consequently there
is usually among their friends or rela-
tives some one to stand between them
and such ali alternative. 1t may be done
by bolstering them up in their business,
or opening other avenues by which they
can maintain themselves, OF else by out

another to maintain OF regain 4 footing
in business: therefore it is not quite be
yond the line of ones own business to
have Il care that those who would nat
urally turn to us i'll such an emergency
should SO shape their course as to avoid
suck necessity.
We may practice economy and fore
thought throughout large portion of
our natural lives, and yet find ourselves
almost compelled to yield all the fruits of
it TO provide for those who have in the
meanwhile given no thought to provid-
ING for their own emergencies, and consc-
uuently have to measure our own com
forts to this end 1t follows, therefore
that people who are provdcnt have 4 re-
served right to object to the IMPROVE

Men naturally claim the privilege to

would dispute it. But while we have

brilliant objects in the sky at this season
are hardly noticed by the eye that turns
from the overpowering light of the great
planet The steadiness of Jupiter's light,
especially when he is near the meridian,
adds to the beauty of the scene. The
naked eye can almost detect the outlines
of the disk. 1t looks somewhat like one
of Edison ground glass globes glowing
with electric light. Shining So screnely

We tell of these things in the news
papers, because there are thousands OF
you who don't know what We are
doing; thousands of you don't know the
character of the stock that fills these S
acres; thousands Of you who, therefore,
buy where you pay more money.
We are every merchants fair and
open competitor. We do not expect to
gather millions Of trade from all over
the country without meeting opposition
and misrepresentation. Some will be
licyc whatever is said against us. The
only answer we make is: Send back
whatever you don't want at the price.
We want your trade. You want our
goods; or would want them, if you
knew. No matter how far away you
may be; you will do well to send to
us for some things. We ask you to
write to us about something you have
present occasion for.
When we get in communication with
you, we shall have one means of winning
your trade, viz, by pleasing you. When
we have won it, we shall have one means
of keeping it, viz, by dealing with you
as we deal with everybody: giving you
large return for your money, and sup
plying your wants SO intelligently that
you will write us for what you want as
naturally as you say good morning

THE STORE AND TIE TRADE.

A study of this ground plan, incon1-
plete as it is, will give YOU a better idea
of the store, and Of what is in it, than de
scripton can do. The store covers FL
acres; a basement is under, and galleries
are over, part The whole affords
somewhere about S acres of room.
This particular business is 4 years old;
it began in 1876 with clothing; in 1877
it became general store with such goods
as you see in the plan, with carpets, up
holstery, furniture, and misunderstanding
upstairs Since that time gallery after
gallery has been added; and there is
not an inch Of room to spare anywhere
To the surprise of many, it has Aourished
while trade was languishing almost
everywhere else.
To us there is no mystery about it;
nothing surprising even; unless it be
surprising that so conspicuous business
should ever be misunderstood. We do
nothing more than simply to provide
facilities for your getting what you want.
We don't mean to say that other
facilities are not provided for distributing
goods; but that's a different thing.
We provide so that you get what you
want, cracHy 70jzat J'0n aountI In the
first place we've got it. In the second
place we send it. And if we send you
the wrong thing, or if you think the
charge is too much, you bundle it back

As soon as this happens, the bits of leaves
are carried out Of the nest and thrown
away. In some Of the large colonies
there will be bushels of this stuff in Il

creatures. but only lately has way t.

is very offensive to them; they drop their
