"CASH OR CREDIT"

In doing credit business one-half the capi-
tai is in accounts and makes no profit after it
goes on the books, a double profit must be
charged on the goods sold. A merchant will,
collecting accounts to meet his bills.
In rating merchants worth cash or good
notes count hundred cents for dollar. Book
accounts count nothing and they Oftimes make
him poorer. A farmer does not accept the
term ''charge iL' for his wheat or corn and 90
nome without any money, but when he sells
once, When merchant sells for cash he adds
profit for the use OF the money for the time it
is 1nVested-30, 90 or 80 days. What he sells on
credit ne adds profit for the time the money
is used so or so Gays in goods and 20 u months
on the hooSs-fully one year in all-l0 or u per
eentum more than the cash dealer. The cost
books and the lots of unpaid accounts for
those who do pay have to pay for what others
get and do not pay for,
All of this amounts to two or three times the
profit the cash dealer charges. To accommo-
date those vino want time and tire benefit OF
cash prices, have adopted Taylor's Coupon
System. BY this system books are kept.
Ihefe are no disputes as there are goods
chorged which the customer thinks he did not

amount to cent, can be computed and de-
tached at Will.

A Deserved Compliment.


The Norfolk Journal Of Comm cree of
The 18th, has the following deserved COM
pliment to distinguished citizen of that
city
The Chamber of Commerce was very
wise in electing Col. William Lamb Pres
ident of that institution on Thursday.
While majority of its members differ
with him politically, all unite in acknowl
edging his ability and peculiar fitness for
the position. Col. Lamb is we'll known,
has a large experience, and probably
knows more about the needs Of this city
than any man within her borders and will
never hesitate 10 urge her claims under any
and all circumstances. He is one of our
most enterprisng business men, is close
~ connected with large and varied inter-
ests. and is a representative in whose
hands the business interests of this city
can be placed with full assurance that
they will be most zealously guarded and
festered; and his unanimous election to
the Presidency was a graceful acknowi-
edgment Of the appreciation of the business
men Of this city of his long and continu-
GUS efforts to advance Norfolk prosper

TO MARRY or NOE TO MARRY.


70 marry or not to marry, tnat is the question

The jeers aid taunts OF outrageous relatives,

And by SO doing scape them: To love; 10

The heartache and the thousand awful woes
Benedicts heir to lis consummat;on

10 marry, perchance to Tue it. Aye, there's the
rub
For in that marriage hate may come.
When one has taken on this fatal nsose,
lie cannot hope escape fiom, save through the
door
That makes calamity Of all ones life
For who would bear the stigma of the divorce
court,
The uplif:ed brow, the i'll concealed seorn,
The pangs of despised love. the law delay,
The insolence of wife, perchance of child.
That all too quickly from It's mother'd learn.

With brier pipe9 Who would the fires make,

But that the di cad of thousands OF tongues.

LOCAL NOTICES.

We have no doubt but that one of
the hardest things to buy at this
season of the year is good pair of
lumbermen's Boots. Should think
the curious ad. on page 4 would be
worth little thought.
There is usually more profit in ex-
pensive furniture than in the cheaper
grades. One house, Paine's Furni-
ture Co., 4S Canal street, Boston,
make an exception to this rule
Some of the most elaborate pieces in
their warerooms are sold at prices
which are conceivably low, and ali of
their higher grades of work are mark
ed at very small margin for profit.
IT IS IMPORTANT, that our readers
should be informed that any persons
holding policies for insurance on va
cant buildings cannot recover, in case
of loss, unless they have given notice
to the company in which their insur-
ance is placed, and hold the COM
pany's certificate permitting such
vacancy; also, when you know that
your policy should be surrendered
for cancellation for any cause, send
it at once to the office of the COM
pany with written request thereon,
thatit be cancelled. If you have lost
or mislaid your policy, a letter re-
questing the cancellation will be Suf-
ficient. Policies are subject to as
sessments, or payment of premium,
until their cancellation or expira-

THRILLING WITH MEDICINES.

There is an article on the inside of
this paper which deserves reading
and needing. The number of people
who thoughtlessly trifle with deadly
drugs, which they may think are
useful remedies, is enormous. If the
results of playing with death and
disease were confined to the individ
uals who assume the responsibility,
the case would be sufficiently alarm
ing, but when one considers that
these deadly drugs are dealt out to
helpless children, generally by their
parents, the wonder is that any of
them live at all But if there were
no serious results from swallowing
these drugs, the expense of this con-
tinual dosing is enormous; still this
is a small evil compared with the eff
feet of so-called medicine" on the
system. In this connection the re-
mark of a city druggist to the writer
is apropos. Said he, 81 sell any
medicine my customers call for, but
| never take anything in my store
but sulphur and molasses.'
REFORM IN THE PENSION OFFICE.
1t is announced that Secretary No
BILE has named ten salaried officials
III the pension office who have to-
gether gobbled SIG, 700. 1t is also
announced in the same connection
that Commissioner Raum has invited
two of these men to disgorge these
amounts taken from the treasury by
SelfallOwed re-ratings. The above
ten officials all drew arrearages, from
S7OO to 5000 each, in the aggregate
SIC, 700. Their pensions were also
increased mOnthly-SOme of them
doubled, some trebled and two quad
rupIed All these officials in the pen
sion bureau were receiving good sal
aries, none less than $14O0 year,
four $500 and four $4,000.
Besides these ten clerks, there are
20 more employees in the same bureau
whose pensions were increased in the
same manner but who do not appear
to have received arrears 1t looks
as though with the advent of Tan
ner the pension clerks thought it
wise to get the first chance at the
surplus and later to divide what was
left with the rest of the boys The
letter of Secretary Noble to one
of the pension officials, all just-mind-
ed veterans and citizens will approve
Hesays:-
Il deem it to the best interest of
the service that the men who have
been re-rated in the bureau should
not continue there to exercise their
influence in that direction either by
their presence or their counsel, and
that the new commissioner should
have better opportunity to correct
the evils which | considered and do
now consider as of the gravest char
aCter"

VERMONTvS GRAND LIST.

Secretary of State c. w. Porter,
has prepared abstracts by counties
of the grand list of the several towns,
cities and cores of the state for 1889,
from which it appears that Caledo-
MIA county's value of polls is II ,67S :;
appraised value of real property,

Gel JIG; list for state taxes, $12,-

For the whole state the figures for
1888 are as follows:
Number polls, 79,157; number
acres land, 4, sS7, JOG; personal prop
erty valuation. S49, 911 ,339; total
grand list, SIG, PAL 800. The valu-
alton of the real estate assessed in
1879 was S71,O17, SS1, and of per-
sOnal property, S15, 375, 533, max
ing a total grand list of $50, 391 ,514.
The grand list of 1889 is S176, 7O6,-
COS, a gain of nearly 100000, 900 in
10 years. These figures show very
handsome appreciation in real estate
and material increase in personal
property returned for taxation.
The taxable polls are assessed 5000
each, which shows that there are So

This is an increase of 6S79 over the

The Legislature of 1888 passed an
act providing for the assessment of
a state tax of 20 cents on the dollar
on the grand list of 1889. For pur-
poses of taxation the grand list is re-
duced to 1 per cent of the assessed

THE BRADFORD BANK.

There is not much to add to what
was said last week about the irregu-
larities of the treasurer of the Brad
ford savings bank and trust compa-
ny. Inspector of Finance Greene.
who must have the credit of bringing
this wildcat business to the light,
and perhaps saving the bank from
financial ruin, does not believe that
the institution is impaired to any ex-
tent, although some investments by
Treasurer Arthur without the knOwl-
edge of the directors may eventually
prove loss. Depositors have been
exceedingly nervous since the news
came out, and many have with
drawn their deposits, but it is be-
lieved that they are needlesslv alarm
ed, as depOsitOrs are fully secured.
With the stockholders it may be diff
ferent.
The cause of this unfortunate bust
ness was as indicated last week-the
treasurer got into bad habits and
sharpers used him to further their
ends. The moral of this tale is too
obvious to be mentioned.
