A NEW BUSINESS METHOD

s. 81. Baynard has adopted new plan that
is now prevailing in western cities, whereby
the opportunity is given to procure good
watch for very low price, through the
agency of cooperative clubs This plan Is as
follows: Clubs are composed Of forty 1nen-
bers, who pay one dollar fee, which payment
goes to the originator of the plan. When the
club is formed they mutually agree to purchase
forty watches for the sum of seven hundred
and Hixty-five dollars. Each week thereafter
the members meet, and each pays one dollar,
at which time number Is drawn, which en-
titles the owner of such number to select and
and receive his watch. similar to the old plan
Of watch clubs, with the exception that upon
the drawing of number further payment of
that number cease. The remaining members
(less one each week. continue their payments
and drawing for thirty weeks. when all pay
ments cease and the remaining ten members
receive their watches.
The watches so distributed are gold-flled
case, made by James Boss, with either All Ell
gin, Waltham, Springfield or Hampden move
ment, such as are sold all over our city for
thtrty-t1ve dollars and which are fully war
ranted to give satisfaction Clubs are now
forming and drawings will commence Tues

THE NEWS IN MADISON.

From the Bfadi>o Ne.os
Mrs. Jesse Carter and children are
on a visit to relatives in Winston this
week
Twenty-Five car loads, or oyer 375
tons of freight, have Deen delivered at
Madison depot in the past ten days.
A firm at Winston is negotiating
for the purchase of the rock quarry
on Mr.. b. R. Webster's land about
two miles from town on the r. & S.
road.
The engine on the R. & S. road has
run to the w. B. Carter farm, within
five miles of Madison, and track-lay-
ing is being pushed on to Madison.
w. A. Stiles & Co. have released to
Messrs Breen & Feely that part OF
their contract on the Roanoke &
Southern road between Mayo river
and the State line The latter firm
have already completed one mile of
the road, and are pushing the work
near Stoneville.
We learned the following interesting
personal this week: Young MIR. Joe
Breen, of the firm of Breen & Feeley,
r. r. contractors, who was married
last summer to a young lady from
Pennsylvania, probably owes the life
of his bride to one of those peculiar
condolences or circumstances in the
wool and web Of life for which there is
no accounting. His wife, (then his
betrothed,) left Johnstown, Pa, on
the night of the terrible food to pre-
pare for her marriage, thus perhaps
escaping narrowly a horrible death.
