HOUSEHOLD.
BUYING GOODS.

Bad men are as useless as a spoiled
egg and often as offensive. Good men
and intelligent generally spend more
of their strength in Intellectual efforts
to accomplish results than they ever
spend in direct successful work. And
so the world is educated. Near thirty
years ago the filling of country orders
from merchants and large consumers
began here but nothing practical has
come of it except where money has
been made out of it.
The world is now being classified
with great rapldity and business is fast
being absorbed by grasping monopolles
and stern necessity will soon compel
not farmers only but the rank and file
of humanity to come into line in ques-
lions of supply and demand and to
obev those fundamental principles that
alone can give enduring success.
"There is no friendship in trade is an
old saving, and there should be no en-
mitv as we'll, but friendship and enmity
are both alike bought and sold for
gain.
In 1.-THE purchase of supplies it is essen
tial that:
First, they be bought for cash in
hand. When strong well-knOwn mer-
chants cannot AFFORD TO use IneH cf6dlG
the unknown consumer surely cannot
afford it.
Second, to buy at wholesale prices
the merchandise must be taken In Gus
tomary wholesale quantities without
the breaking of cases.
Third, when several parties buy to-
gether the goods must be delivered
promptly and the bills entirely settled
or tag ends" will spoil the harmony.
Fourth, the buyers representative
must answer letters of inquiry prompt
ly so that buyers and sellers may be
regularly advised of each others wants.
prising missionary in each township
will combine consumers orders, buy
for c ash and divide the goods in such a
manner as to promote practical econ
omy and mutual protection together.

Grace Eden.

A we'll filled house greeted the Georgia wonder on Saturday night and they were well repaid for their at- tendance. Her remarkable powers of apparent strength is beyond cOmpre- hension and where the power is derived from is mystery. She lifted five men, the combined weight of which aggregated 800 pounds. The attempt of three of the strongest men in the city to raise her from her feet was an other piece of unaccour table force. She weighs but 90 pounds and yet Gus Baron and A, L. Smith, two powerful men could not hold her in the air with her feet A inches from the floor. Her mind reading was another won derful ! art of the programme and in no instance did she make 8 failure out of more than hundred tests Space is not sufficient to allow fur ther description of the evenings en- tertainment. The committee, Ralph Smith, Louis Aubrey, Gus Baron, c. s. Fly and A. L. Smith will testify to her wonderful embodiment of some supernatural power.
 Tonight many additional interest ing and wonderful evidences of her being justly entitled "The Georgia Magnet" will be introduced.

Memorial Day,

The G. A. R., P. o. s. of A. and the school children with long line of carriages conveying citizens went to the cemetery on Saturday and with appropriate ceremonies, decorated the graves of the dead. The noral tributes were perhaps finer than ever shown at any previous decoration day. Every body donated all they had and the young ladies who r3de in the large open wagons in the procession were Iairly enveloped in roses and other flowers.
 There was noticeable thinning in the ranks of Burnside Post since last year, but as one by one they fall away, there are ten willing hearts added each year to assist in that beautiful custom of strewing their graves with emblems of love for them aad theirs.

The Shankland Case.

Mark Smith withdrew from the case this morning and Judge Barnes was wired requesting his sppearai co 10 look after the defepdants interests. The district attorney expressed his willingness to go on with another trial at once and the defendant himself is anxious for it. It is probable that the day will be set for another trial at the present term and as summons for the fourth of June have been served on several witnesses it is about settled that the trial will begin that day.

From a reliable source it is learned that J. M. Cummings was obliged to get out of Mexico in the night to avoid arrest. Notwithstanding the fact that that he handled many thou sands of dollars of money belonging to his partner, he left the country without dollar. Two hundred thou sand dollars are said to be within the bounds of the amount expended upon the property of which he was the gen. eral manager. There are several thousands of dollars in due bills issued by Cummings outstanding, which, it is said will be taken up by Whitmore.
