letter To The Pubic.

Which is the consumer friendy
the cash or credit merchant When.
q merchant sells on time he must add
at least 10 per cent. for bad debts and
the merchant is generally worsted at
that. as it is only the shrewd mer-
chant and good collector who col
lects over 80 per cent. of his accounts
and l think you will find very few
who are as lucky-others who are not
so good at collecting have to add
more. Who has it to pay? answer
therhonest consumer everytime, the
man who gets credit for six months
and pays his bills promptly when he
sells his produce. Honest consum-
err have you ever figured out what
interest you are paying your credit
merchant or friend as YOU term him?
Friend! guess that is the word us he
often means we'll and thinks he is
doing you charitable deed, but
really: he is not. Why? because there
are so many who take advantage Of
the credit system and never pay at
Ill and so you see something must he
added to make up the DOSAGE. We
will take the man who only adds 10
pr cent. and we will see what inter
est you arc paying him. A farmer
who runs an account for six months
from date to Gay of settlement makes
all average time of three months. If
you pay 10 per cent. interest for three
months credit that must lie 40 per
cent. interest you are paying and it
can't be denied so long as four times
three are twelve and four times ten
are 40 Would you consider any man
n friend, who had money to lend that
charged you 40 per cent. interest? ]
don't think you uldappreciate such
fav ors not until money is worth over
rer cent. per annum. Yet accord
ing to my views of the matter, l
think the consumer would be better
ed by paying the 40 per cent. interest
to the ,niser as you would call him.
Twill give few reasons, why ] think
SO. If you have the cash in hand you
can go any where you wish, you can
buy new goods and the latest styles,
you will always be met with q smile,
you will get your turn, you will be
shown the newest goods and lowest
prices every time and above all you
feel independent. To those who buy
on time, do you see the contrast?
Don't you often buy things you don't
like? Are you always met with a
smile? Do you always get your turn?
Do they always show you the newest
goods? Do you feel independent? If
you don't feel really sure that you
are receiving the desired attention l
don't think you are getting your
moneys worth. Are you married to
one house? If you are then secure q
divorce as soon as possible. We are
not of those people who claim mar
rage is failure between man and
woman, but being tied to one house
in the matter of buying goods is quite
another thing. If you can secure q
divorce give us one call and see how
we do business. am
Yours very respectfully,
A. H. g. MEARs.

Obituary..

Capt. Sydney J. Russell, reported
as seriously wounded in our last issue,
died Saturday morning. The causes
which led to his death are too painful
to recall. 1t is hardly necessary to
be stated, that only a stranger to him
could have inflicted the wound which
terminated his life. Noble-hearted
generous, manly-he hal no enemies
and those who knew him best had
for him the highest affection and es-
TEEN. Everyone who knew him, be-
lieved in his integrity and trusted
him-everyone intimate enough with
him, to, know his thorough good
nature and kind and amiable dispo-
sition, honored and respected him.
His untimely death is generally re-
GREETED and by no one more than the
writer of this notice.

Marshall this Tent loses brother
who was always active and jealous
in his work as Rerhabite, ever
ready to succor the needy and dis
tressed of the brotherhood, prompt
to advance the interests of the Order,
devoted to it's welfare and prosperity
and who was an honest and upright
man whose virtues endeared him not
only to his brethren of the Order but
to all his fellow citizens.
8. That this Tent tender its heart
felt sympathy to the family and rela-
tives of our decea sed brother in this
their sad affection.
4. That the members o. this Tent
