This Easter issue is the initial num-
Der of Volume XIIIof 1hRSeg's lfaga-
kline. Tie volume just closed has the
distinction of having shown a greater
gain--a vastly greater gain--in circula-
ton than any single volume of maga-
zine in the whole wide world has ever
had. 1t started with the October issue
with Il circulation of quarter of a
million, aud ended with the March issue
with half a million. The increase III
these six months alone, represents a
larger circulation than that of any other
magazine either in the old world or the
new, while the total circulation of

CASH PURCHASE.

One of the most hopeful outgrowtns
of the hard times in an organization
called the "Cash Purchase Association, >
which has been formed in Kansas. Its
members are divided into circles Of from
. to 20 families, who pledge themselves
individually and collectively not to go
in debt dollar, but to pay cash for
every article bought. Since dealers
must put up the prices Of their wares
high enough to cover their losses on bad
debts, they thus make honest people pay
for their own goods and those of dis
honest people, too, which is unjust, not
10 SAY sinful. In the case of the Cash
Purchase Association the members have
this added amount taken of their pur-
chases, getting discount on the goods
they buy. They buy somewhat on the
cooperative plan. 1t is claimed that
from $50 to $50 year is'saved thus to
each family belonging to the assoeia-
ton.
An initiation fec of 81 is charged to
the applicant for membership This
goes into q fund for the help Of any
members family that is in need.
la such case money for the support Of
the need, family is allowed for 4
month and in extreme emergency two
months. The money is a loan, to be re-
paid without interest when the family
becomes self sustaining again.
There ought TO be circles of the Cash
Purchase association all over this eonn-
try. 1t Was running in o debt that
brought on the hard times.

 WISHES FOR THE AGE HERALD.
 GuNTERsvILLE, Feb. ,16.-[Special Core spondence. .1-lt has been showing here for twelve hours past, and the snow Is over inches deep. The ground has been covered with snow since Monday morning. The Tennessee river shows signs of heavy snow storms and freezes above. Great iceburgs are floating down the river, doing much damage to crafts along it's way.
 The Hattie Mcdaniel, the passenger steamer of the Nashville and Chattanooga Railway transfer, has been laid up for sev- eral days on account of ice drifting down. The steamer Huntsville, the freight boat. which is much larger, has taken the place o1 the Hattie, and will continue to make the trips on time under the skilful man. agement of Capt. James Glover.
 Nicely & Smith, railroad ontractors, lost a number of barges and derrick and dredge boat, which sank near this place yesterday morning, caused from being struck by drifting ice. The boats were tied up. The loss is estimated at about $15, ,0O0; no insurance.
 John Smith, Jr., of Chattanooga arrived here on the afternoon train yesterday ir response to a telegram announcing the loss of Nicely & Smith by the sinkin g oi their dredges, boat and barges.
 Col. William G. Sadler of Nashville spent q couple of days here this week.
 Iser Peter Cohen of Nashville is visiting with friends here today.
 Col. E. O. Nicely, proprietor of the Dem- ocrat, has been confined to his room dur ing the past week with an attack of plu- rlsy. James H. Meigs, the local man, has been in charge of the paper during Colonel Neely's illness.
 The many friends of the AGE Il ERALD in this section were glad to learn that Hon. Frank P. O'Hrien had become the proprie- tor of this contemplating journal. It is al- most m assured fact the paper will be put upon its feet and made a success under the able management of MT. O'Brien and Edi- tor Evans.

STALE, Feb. 16.-[Special Correspond ence. I've have certainly gone through with long, severe spell of cold weather. week ago Thursday the blizzard Set in with intense cold, and just as we looked and hoped for change for better here comes the snow. Friday morning every thing was covered with it, about 1h inches on a level. Abont a. m. 1t begun to sieet and soon hard crust had formed on top of the snow. This melted some towards noon, but frozs again at night. Saturday morning about breakfast time, now com menced to fall in big flakes thich and fast, which soon put blanket of white over the eieet and now there is about inches of now, but will doubtless freeze again to- night. though the clouds do seem to threaten rain just now. We expect any thing in the way of weather. Silver lake is frozen over and mallards and other water fowl go there. The boys try to shoot them, but owing to wind and cold can't bring one down.
 big dove hunt was had this morning over on Judge Glenn's place and lots of fine fat doves bagged. the second time, but farmers will SOW again. A big grain and provision crop, even if cotton is low, is great blessing.
 Mayor Benton and Alderman Beliamy both resigned at the last meeting of the council. MT. P. A. Greene was elected to fill MT. Bellamy's place, and MT. J. E. Henry made mayor.
 Last fall a bridge on the Uchee creek broke through, carrying down wagon load of cotton, negro driver and three yokes of oxen, two oxen were killed and the negro's leg broken. Mfr. W. R. Tread away presented his claim at the commis- sioners' meeting this week and was allowed S220, the negro getting S200, doctor's bill and nurse's hire. The whole cost to the county is nearly $500.

 Some of the Longview folks fixed up a snug sleigh and came down this morning looking very bright and gay. More will be out before night. Oh, how we long for sunshine and warm weather.

 WILLIAM GoFF of Ash aud.
 JOHN LAMEY of Mahanoy Plane.
 WILLIAM DAVIS of Mahanoy Plane.
 It is feared that the first four of the in- jured men are fatally burned, but Davis explosion is not known, but it is supposed that naked lamp ignited large body of gas that had been let loose from blast that was made in the gangway.
 The explosion set fire to the timbers of what is called the "monkey airway,' cut ting off the five men killed in the mine. The six men who were taken out alive were nearest the gangway, aud escaped the suffocating fumes of the gas and the ava lanche of coal and timber which followed the explosion.
 A fierce fire broke out in the gangway, but nevertheless the work of rescuing the imprisoned men or recovering their bodies, if dead, was at ones proceeded with. line of hose was run into the cangway and between and 8 o'clock this afternoon the dead bodies of fl ve men were recovered. The fire in the mine is still raging iercely and officials hope to be able to extinguisb the flames before they get hold on the coal, for in that case the mine would have to be flooded and over 800 men would be thrown out of work. The colliery has a capacity of 260 900 tons annually.

The trouble grew out of dispute last Wednesday with a young man named Mansfield, who repre- sented the transfer company that took the baggage to and from the theater. Mansfield said the troubadours took the horses and led them off, fired at him and his com panien and driver, and in other ways made night hideous. Today different state of affairs developed in the hearing of the case, as the evidence showed that the trouble was brought about by Mansfield and companion named Nix. It was shown that Nix did all the shooting, and also struck Manager Cooney of the company, and was recorder discharged the troubadours, fined discharged Mansfield. The grand jury on Thursday made indictments against ten membera of the company for riot and shooting at each other. This case will robably be dismissed in the morning. THE ST. AUGUSTINE HEARD FROM.
