Will the brethren please examine our
price list? You will see that we have
made a change for the better. All
articles shipped from one point appear
in n subllst together. This arrange
ment ought to do you good and save
trouble to us and money to you, For
instance a brother makes this order:
"Send me one barrel good family flour,
one case Mandlessonlye, one champion
soap" Now, you will see that his
Urand of -four comes from Philadel
phia, the lye from Richmond, Va, a d
the soap from Raleigh. We have to
make three orders to fill your bill. We
do not object to this if you really want
these special brands. Bui it would be
better for you, and your goods would
be shipped with less freight and less
liability to be lost on the route, if you
would order them all from the same
point, You would not get the same
brands, but would ge5 as good goods.
The brother could have ordered the
same -four he did with keystone I've
lye and Barnes New South soap, and
all would have been slipped from
Philadelphia, or he could have ordered
Hill City -four, MendlesOhn I've and
Admiral soap, and all would have been
shipped from Ri ,hmond, or if he had
ordered Waverly flour, Star I've, and
Champion s ap, it would have been
shipped from Raleigh. Either n of
the suggested orders would be as good
as the original and all the goods would
reach the brother at the same time.
Our office would have 10 pay postage
on only one order and one bill to
Won whereas in the original order we
have to mail three orders and then
three bills. Either of the latter orders
would be a saving to u office of eight
cents IN postage.
This is simply a suggestion. If you
really prefer certain brands, we will
take pleasure inRlacing your order ex
actly as YOU give it to us But if you
have no choice try as far as practicable
to order brands coming from the same
point. All packages of less than a
hundred pounds weight when shipped
alone are charged for by ~transporta
ton companies as a hundred pounds.

To the Business Agents who run &C
counts with the Alliance, I wish to say
one word: Be prompt IN the settlement
OF Your bills. This office pays CASH for

GUARD YOUR CREDIT.

The Alliance as an organization
teaches and practices good business
methods. Let every brother see that
the credit of his Alliance does not suffer
on account of his failure to be prompt.
The Use of Alliance credit has saved
big sums to the members, and they
should protect that credit at all hazards.

a Savage Iden of Fun.

The games of most savage races are dra-
matte representations of ordinary events in
their lives or of the ways of animals. but
it would be difficult to say how the very
strange whipping game, played by the
Arawacks of Guiana, had its origin This
is played by number of persons for two
or three days and nights continuously, I'm
til the supply of native beer gives out. The
players range themselves in two lines oppo-
site to each other. and ut intervals one PLAYER
advances from each line OF this pair one
puts forward his leg and stands firm, while
the other, who is armed with formidable
whip, carefully measures the distance and
then lasles the calf of the other with all
his might
The whip cracks like Il pistol shot and
makes considerable cash in the skin
of the dashed one, who, however, may even
stand unmoved to receive Il second blow.
Then the pair change parts, and the bne
who received the flogginS noys the other in
his turn The pair retire, drink together
and rcjoin the line, while another couple
step out and 20 through the same perform
ance. Each pair may, while the game lasts.
go through the same ordeal many times M.
intervals
The women sometimes take part in this
remarkable sport, but when they do n
wooden figure of bird is substituted for
the whip, and a. gentle peck with this re-
places the painful lash showing that some
idea of courtesy to the weaker sex exists
among people who are far down in the
scale of civilization.-London Tit-Bits.
