FAIRFIELD.

A new idea has been adopted by Ben
jamin Belts, who recently returned to
the strict cash system of selling goods.
He supplies pook containing coupons
of few cents value each to the amount
of $40, payable in advance. AS each
purchase is made, it is registered on
blank leaves in the front of the book and
corresponding coupons torn off. In this
way, a child may be sent to the store
without money and purchases made with
perfect safety, yet the cash system is in
full force.

sUsPESsION OF BUSINESS.

The recommendation Of the Chamber Of
Commerce contained in the resolutions
passed at the meeting of the chamber on
Thursday night, that ali business be sus-
pended in the city on the 10Th instant. has
received the warm approval Of the citizens
Of Richmond. Ii is entirely becoming and
proper that all business should. be suspended
on an occasion that will be devoted 10 the
c0mmemoraiiOn Of the services OF General
Lee. The popular sentiment Of this COM
munity demands il imperatiyely, and the
suggestion Of the chamber has found an i'm
mediate response. The twenty-ninth Of
May should be observed as a holiday. a day
oi rejoicing, and yet day hallowed by a
thousand sacred memories. II is a day
that will belong 10 every Southern man,
woman and child, and it should be given up
by them exclusively 10 the celebration Of
the virtues and achievements Of the great
Confederate leader and his companions in
arms. Not business house of importance
in the city should be open; the usual ayoca-
tions Of our people should be abandoned for
q time, aud there should be such an out
pouring Of our citizens as was never wit
messed before. No single means should be
left unemployed 10 testify our veneration
for the character Of Lee, our admiration
for those who were associated with him In

worthy Of Lee and those who followed him
