HOW TO MAKE MONEY

The way to make money is
to save it. And the way to
save it is to have your pre-
scriptions filed at Carmi-
chael's drug store, and you
will find by doing so you will
save from 25 to 80 per cent.
on every prescription. We
do not take goods that the
people know the price and
mark down to cost, and then
charge two prices for a pre-
scription to make up theloss.
You know clerk hire and
house rent must be paid and
the profits must be averaged
some way. A hint to the wise
is sufficient. A full line of De.

this morning Mr.. Brevard said that he
had conferences with several brokers and
monied men concerning the sale of Ashe-
viles improvement bonds while in New
York, and he feels sure that at least a
portion of them will be placed in short
time.
Mr. Brevard added that Mavor Blan
tor had arrived in New York before he
left, and reported that it was probable
at least 500, 900 of the bonds could be
placed in Baltimore. Mayor Blantor
took the negotiations up where Mr.. Bre
ward left them in New York, and vii
doubtless remain in that city uutil salt
is consummated.
Mr.. Brevard found that New York bus
mess men were confident that within
month money matters will be compar
atively easy throughout the country. =,
MIR. Brevard saysthat it will necessaril,
! take some time to close the sale OF Ashe
ville's bonds after purchaser has bee
found, as every feature OF the Legislation
under which the bonds are issued wi
have to be carefully looked into. as we
as the financial affairs of Asheville.

FLOWER MISSION.
Reports Made to the Regular
Monthly Meeting.

Monthly Meeting.
] h, ladies of the Flower Mission issue
the following report for the month oI
August to which THE CITIZEN gladly
gives space:
The regular monthly meeting of Ashe
villc's Associated Charity was held on
Monday, September 18th, at the residence
of Mrs Penand. The reportsf for August
were more encouraging than ior July, for
while the calls upon the Mission have in
creased rather than decreased, the liberia
response to our appeals have enabled us tC
meet them more satisfactorily than usual
We tender our warmest thanks to al
who have helped our work, and have en-
abled the treasurer to bring in the follow
ing report: Receipts, $14S.20; expendi
lures, $143.46. Other bills, however
are to be presented
We regret that the contributions hav,
come from the few rather than from tn,
many. as we should like all to have tn,
privilege of helping the sick and needy.
One illustration will suffice to give ou
friends some idea of the pressing need, ant
perhaps bring the matter home NOR
forcibly than a mere statement that ther
are many cases of fever among the poor
Last week we were called to family liy
ing in two-roomed cabin at the foot q
Lookout mountain, where a mother an
three children were i'll with typhoid fever
while the father had ',een Obliged to Civ
up his work. Our hope now is that
with good nurse to carry out the dot
tore orders, we may keep the diseas
from attacking the other members Of til
family. In cases of this kind there
need of an unusual supply OF bed line
and clothing, and we should be very gla
to have any such article left at the Cel
tral Office, 80 Spruce street, between IL
hours OF 8 and 6 p. m.

Lost MONEY AND MEMORY.
strange Experience of Missis'
sippi Man.

KANKAKEE, ILL.,, Sept. IA strange
case of loss of memory is reported from
the county hospital.
Thursday man about 20 years OF age
was picked up by an officer and turned
over to the county authorities. He could
remember that his home was ten miles
south of Abilene, Miss, but he could not
remember his name, nor could lie rrcol-
lect where he had been since September
1st
On that day he left his fathers house
with over 500 to pay off some colored
hands on the plantation. He also had a
fine gold watch on his person. Both
watch and money have disappeared. Hs
saws his fathers first name is David b
b, but beyond that his mind is
blank. He is we'll dressed and has every
appearance of belonging to an intelligent
south family. He complains OF palni'
| in the back of his head and neck, and II
| is the general belief here that he has beer
sand-bagged and sent to the north By
negroes who took his money.

might be divided into two classes; the

had great respect and always led to tn,
truth; whilst for the second, which wa.
dishonest, in that it only lived in seek

THE KING AND THE SHIRT.
A Story of a Man That was Thoroughly
Happy.

Story of a Man That was Thoroughly
Happy.
There lived long ago a king who be-
came very sick.
81 will give half of my kingdom to
anybody who is able to give me back my
health,' he said.
Then all the wise men of the country
met and consulted with each other how
they might be able to cure the king, but
they could not find remedy.
One of them, however, explained that
he thought it possible to restore the
king to health.
eff only we can find happy man" he
said, ''we will take his shirt and put it
on the king, who then will regain his
vigor."
The king sent out messengers, who
were instructed to find a happy man.
They travelled through the whole country,
but could not find the one they sought.
There was not single man who was sat
isfied and happy.
One was rich, but sick; another
healthy, but poor; third one was both
rich and healthy, but complained of wife
as others did of their children. All OF
them had unaccomplished wishes.
One evening the kings son passed by
low cottage and heard somebody within
say:
"Bless the Lord, now l have worked
myself tired, finished my meal and am
allowed to go to bed. What more can
ask? ?''
The kings son listened to the words
with joy. Ordering the shirt to be
taken from the man, who was to be lib.
orally rewarded, the messengers were
commanded to carry the shirt to the
| king.
These, as soon as possible, ran into the
cottage to the happy man and intended
to draw off his shirt. But he was sc
poor that he did not have shirt.-Lec
