charged which the customer thinks he did not
get. Every sale is a cash sale, and the goods
are paid for by the coupons taken from 2 book.

-sTAUNToN SPECTATOR GENERAL ADVERTISER
How 1t Is.
This is the way the poetical editor Of an
exchange tells the story:

This is the way the poetical editor OF o
exchange tells the story:
There was man In our town,
And he was wondrous wise,
For when he marked hislprices down
He then did advertise.
And wheuIhe. saw his trade increase
With all his might and main
He lower still marked every price
And advertised again.
And when he advertised again
His rivals loudly swore
To see folks--rush with might and main
To patroniEe his store.
And when they sat in.solitude
And saw him custom win
That man behind the counter stood
And raked the shekels in.
And when he raked the shekels in
And saw his fortune rising,
He took goodly lot OF tin
And kept on advertising.
Each day generous sum he'd sink
And demonstrate full plain
The more one pays for printers Ink
The grealer is his gain.

FIRST-I propose to use the same system
and will give discount on the following books

To any one who understands charging, and
the expense and trouble attached. can readily
see by this plan, the expense of a book-keeper
at 49, so or 60 dollars per month is saved, and
1 can give 1t to you to save trouble to you and
myself.
SECOND-To make things agree with all,
propose to make the same rule work with
all. Country customers who purchase and pay
cash in the same ratio as the statement on
books, except. this includes all pnrchases)
will not discount sugar when sold by the bar
rel or where sugar alone is sold, or where trade
is exchanged for goods, but L will disc punt
when the amount purchased in the same pro-
portion over and above trade furnished: for
example: If l purchase two dollars worth OF
butter and the party takes out seven dollars
worth of goods 1 will discount him the 20 cents
on the dollars and SO on as stated above.
Flour and sugar simple and alone will not
be discounted.
am In earnest about this. If all my custom.
ers would realize how much better this plan
would suit whether they pay cash or walt until
the end OF the month TO pay.
How much easier to keep your own accounts.
1t allows a merchant 8 chance of better SCI vice
to you, gives him more time to secure those
goods which will please and delight you.
will try this plan commencing September LIST.
1t does not harm anyone. 1t gives the custo-
mer more confidence, 1t inspires the merchant
with more zeal and energy. Try 1t. Try 1t. Be
pie will say SO after trial. l shall be pleased
to furnish books to all customers at any time

We publish to-day the revised and completed
program for the Inauguration ceremonies, on
Tuesday, the 9th inst, which promises to be the
grandest military and civic display ever seen in
Tallahassee.
The railroad companies will bring soldiers in
uniform at one cent mile for the round trim.
and citizens at two cents mile for the round
trip. With these extraordinary low rates, and
the interest aroused throughout the State, we
have every reason to believe that every county
will send large delegation, and that Tallahassee
will be filled to overlooking.
We extend cordial welcome TO all. and will
entertain them TO the best Of our ability. Our
country friends requested to bring in as large
a delegation of horsemen as possible, 30 as to
swell The parade and make il the grandest street
procession that Tallahassee has ever had
II will tax our little city to its utmost to COM
fortably care for the vast number who will az
tend and all citizens should throw open their
doors and help to entertain our visitors. All who
have spare rooms, or who can provide table
board for few, are requested to notify the local
committee how many they can care for. The
committee will be put to heavy expense in
carrying out the program, and will need all the
assistance they can get. Those who are willing
to aid in making the occasion grand success
should confer with the committee at once and
give them all the assistance-fnancal and
neutrality-suspicious.
