In bookkeeping experience has proven that
Cash is the right way and Credit the wrong
way. Taking the buyers Cash for goods and
charging on the books the same goods at the
same price to credit buyers who may pay
promptly or never pay at all, is simply making
the Cash Buyer pay for the Credit System,
with its expenses of Bookkeepers, Collectors,
Bad Debts. Stationery, Postage and number
of other Costly Evils attending such system
which largely increase the cost of the goods to
every buyer, in evety retail store that in any
way engages in the Credit System.
The many attempts to establish stores with
two prices-one for Cash and another for Credit
has in every instance proven hopeless fail
ure. On the other hand the One Price Cash
System has proven a Decided Success, and IS
still growing III favor. 1t deals even handed
with every one and materially Reduces the
Cost of Goods. During the past week we have
marked down every article in the store to meet
the One Price Cash System.
Under this system we guarantee every arti-
Gle sold and if unsatisfactory the purchaser
can return the same in good order within five
days and get the money back.

Without iudulging in boastful statements
we assert that we believe We convince every
buyer that our prices are absolutely the low
est in Charlestown, by which mean that
my clothing represents more genuine value,
quality, style and durability for the amount
you can afford to invest than is offered by
any other concern in this town. That's the
verdict that has been cheerfully accorded
the Leading Clothier again and again by
thousands of patrons who have put the IS

The United States grand jury has found
an Indictment against Samuel w. Lincoln,
who had been previously arrested and dis
missed upon the charge Of stealing a money
order and with having it cashcd mt the post
office. The case was heard before United
States Commissioner Rogers, February 9,
and the charge dismissed upon the ground of
mistaken identity. The postoffice authori-
ties. who charged Lincoln with getting the
money-ordcr cashed, regarded the decision
of Commissioner Rogers as a reflection on
their carefulness, and a postotiice detective
was ordered to work up the case which re-
suited i'm the finding of the indictment

Lacy's Springs, Va, for which place Detec-
tive Maxwell has left with a bench warrant
for his arrest.-BahimOre SIN 9h inst.
