A Clerk on Late Buyers

Please say something in your
paper about the people who put off
their buying until the very last thing
and come into the store just as we
are preparing to close up and 60
home," remarked clerk in a store
to the writer few days ago. You
have no idea of the number of people
who make practice of doing this"
the speaker continued. "They are
not all country folks as some people
think, for if they were, there might
be some excuse as they cannot get
into town early in the evening, but
the most of them reside right among
us. They invariably defer their pur-
chasing until the last minute before
the stores close, and keep the clerks
confined half hour, or more, longer
than there is any necessity Of. II
this was an occasional occurrence we
wouldn't say anything, but it hap
pens every night. Ii we can't close
the stores early in the evening, we
might as least close on time. | wish
I could write a piece for the paper
and tell the people how we are i'm
posed upon. But you can just tell
them that for me-"
We agreed to do this and hope that
the practice spoken Of may bediscon-
tinued. in a measure at least and if
some OF the customers could see the
situation from the clerks point Of
view, we feel sure that it would be.

opinions ON the Peach Crop.


Being asked his opinion as to the
peach prospects Levy Court Commits
sioner John w. Jolls, one of the larg-
est buyers of the fruit in the State,
this morning said: !" There will be no
peaches worth speaking Of. I haven't
been around among the orchards very
much and I can make no calculations,
but the shipments from this place
will amount to little.
Deputy Sheriff J. C. Jolls said !:
There will be a few of the very
early and late varieties, but none be-
tween. No trees in the neighborhood
are full, and what few have fruit on
them are mostly young trees. There
will be but few peaches to mix with
politics this year, and they don't go
well together. anyway

ChiIdren's Day Services at the Pres
byterian Church,

DyCefidn CnuFch.
The Children's Day services of the
Forest Presbyterian Sunday-school
were held on last Sunday evening.
Long before the hour announced for
the services, the friends and members
of the church began to assemble.
The church was beautifully decorated
with choice flowers and rare plants,
and the effect was very fine. At 7.SO
O'Clock the Middletown orchestra per-
formed spirited march and Mr.. Ed
ward Reynolds, the Superintendent,
headed the procession of the Sunday
school scholars, who took the places
previously assigned them. The
school was very well represented.
The musical selections were very
good, and in addition to the hymns
sung by the school, three quartette
selections were rendered by the fol-
lowing ladies and gentlemen: Miss
Bessie Reynolds, Miss Lillian Budd,
Miss Edith Reynolds, Miss Eugene
Beasten, Miss Martha Heaton, Miss
Mary Pleasanton, and Messrs. w. w.
Vansant and Frank Howell. The
Introductory Address, by Albert
Cavender, abounded with facts con-
cerning the growth and work of the
grand Sunday-schod army. Five
primary scholars, Emma Kelley, Mary
Vahdegrift, Carrie West, Joe Comegys
and George Kelley, told what little
children could do. Mary Maxwell re-
cited IA Vision" and the magnifi-
cent poem, "Voices at the Throne"
was given by Miss Martha Heaton
At the conclusion of the exercises the
Middletown orchestra rendered a
march and the Sunday-school retired
from the room in the same order in
which they had entered it. Many
were the words of praise heard on
every hand, as the large audience,
which had filed the pews, aisles, gal
lery and vestibule, slowly dispersed.
The occasion was a notable and sue
cessful one for the Sunday-school Of
the Forest Church.
