Killed by Runaways.
All Grocerymen Not Selling
Strictly for Cash Since
the Beginning of Cash
Prices on Groceries.
1t is Proving a Decided Success
to our Patrons as we'll as
to Ourselves.

The runaTays consists in lost Gus
toners from the fact that they are
not paying lost accounts and not
troubled with misstatements at the
end of each month. When you
trade with the cash concern your
account is ended and prices guaran-
teed the lowest in market. It's SIM
pie to understand why cash demands
the lowest possible price. II you
have dollar you want changed
anyone will give you one hundred
cents for it Crowded he hasn't been
buying groceries and having them
charged). If so he will say I
havn't the money, but if you will
give me the dollar will give you
the change in thirty days. Your
reason will teach you that dollar is
worth more to you at that time,
than thirty, sixty or ninety days
and maybe never il his family takes
sick and funeral expense to pay.
Now, neighbor, haven't you had
yodr customers tc say they couldn't
pay because they had to pay a
doctors bill and later on they had
to pay other bills more pressing
than yours, and later on you had to
charge that Identical account to loss
in your statement of the years bus
mess. Well, if it be true who
loses it? You can't say you never
lose any accounts. You simply
have to charge more Tor your goods
to make dividend at the end of
the years business.
Now, customer, listen to the tale
of woe. The only merchan: that's
prospecting today is the one that
pays cash for his goods. Cash dis
counts pays all expenses Of doing
business.
Why not each customer pay cash
and make the same saving. Cash
demands the lowest possible price.
Try your grocer whom you have
been paying credit prices and see it
he wont take you by the arm or
wink at you and say come here to
one side. | will give you better
prices provided you don't say any
thing to your neighbor who is pay

cause he is having it charged. You

HAD A CAKE WALK.
Pleasant Fenture Of Mission Circles
All Entertainment.

The Mission Circle, a society of Young
ladies of the First Congregational! Church,
gave an entertainment at that edfice last
evening that was not only highly success
full but was novel and unique as well.
| The entertainment was given in the largest
Of the church parlors and was patronized
by large number of the friends of the cir
+ cfe.' AS far as the ordinary church enter
tainment goes all the features that have
come to be regarded as essential to such
affairs were present but a departure was
noted In the introduction of a cake walk
participated in by the younger members Of
the congregation, which proved to be the
feature of the evening. The competing
couples were Mr.. Ed. Conner and Miss Ien-
ME Rugg, Mr.. Howard Morrison and Miss
Demond, DR.. Brown and Miss Cook, Misses
Matthews and Claffiin, Mr.. Ray Bradford
and Miss Priest, Mr.. Mortified and Miss
Clark and Mr.. Arnold and Miss Topnam,
and the spectators quickly formed a ring
around the contestants. Mr.. Copp was the
master of ceremonies, and Mrs Bradford
as Aunt Priscilla assisted as his partner.
The contestants were all gaily attired, and
the antics of some of the more proficient
in such matters were highly amusing Mr.
Common and Miss Rugs were finally an
nounced as the winners by the Judges of
the competition The receipts of the enter
tainmcnt will go toward reLlenIshing the
treasury of the Mission Circle.

The Doctors and the HosDftnIs

10 the Editor of The Evening Star:
II seems incredible that any respect able
pody OF men could be found soiemnTv mo-
testlng That too great facilities are af-
Iorded for the alienation of human suffor-
ing and sickness. And yet q morning manor
publishes a report of committee repre-
sentfng the Medical Society complaining at
great length, that the profits of the nro
fession are diminished by the success of
the noble efforts which have been made IN
establish hospitals and dispensaries. and
proposing, in substance. that all sufferers
applying for relief should be compellcd to
commune to suffer until an investigation
could be made into their financial condi
tion and that, if the inquiry should be de-
cided unfavorably to them, however wrong
ly or unjustly, all assistance should be re-.
Iuseu, Ny own experience has been, and
l have no doubt it is a common one that
1t y difficult 10 get, deserving poor people
to go to hospital, even when It is i'm
possible to have proper attention ana treat
ment at their homes. They will make ey-
cry sacrifice to pay doctor often an in
competent and unconscionable one The
number of persons really able to nav for
medical treatment who secure free treat
ment at hospitals must be exceedingly
small. But suppose it was large. supnnse
indeed, that a hospital system could be prt
in operation which would secure to every-
body the best medical advice and attention
free of cost Would that be a misfortune
to anybody except the superfluous doctors
in a tremendously overcrowded profession
Most persons would regard it as a great
boon to humanity, as decided advance
in civilization. The really able doctors are
so few and their services in such demand
that persons in narrow circumstances have
no chance to secure them except through
the hospitals. There are few sadder things
to contemplate than the case of an honest
industrious man called upon to pay out of

great expenses of sickness. Every effort
ought to be made by the public to protect
him against such misfortune. To ATTEMPT
to exclude him from the benefit of free
hospital and dispensary treatment is sim
ply inhuman. J. C. w

DISCRIMINATING RATES.
Made by Wholesale Gro
GERS to the Interstate Commission.

NvWpAuAnts maze ~ WhOIe0ale Gro
GERS to the Interstate CommfssiOn.
The Interstate commerce commission will
soon have laid before 1t, 1t is understood on
the highest authority, a petition from the
wholesale grocers Of Columbus, Ga, ask
ing them to compel a number of railroads,
which Will be designated In the paper, to
reduce certain freight rates affecting vital
~ the business interests Of the grocery
1obbers of the city. which rates the rail-
roads have themselves failed to reduce
1t Is stated that for some time past the
wholesale grocers of Montgomery have been
invading the legitimate territory of Co
iumous In Alabama, and have successfully
competed with the wholesalers of Column
bus. whose territory has thus been steadily
reduced.
Inc Montgomery and Birmingham whole
sale men are, it is said, enabled to do this
on account of the lower freight rates they
enjoy. Realizing the situation, the grocers
OF Columbus have applied to the Central
railroad of Georgia for reduction Of their
freight rates into Alabama territory on the
ground that they are justly entitled to
the rates that Montgomery enjoys, and that
such a reduction would benefit the railroad
as well the merchants.
columbus, 1t is claimed. is practically a
central railroad town, and the petitioners
Will, 1T is understood, argue that while
the wholesalers would do more business il
the rates were reduced, the railroad would
necessarily haul more freight.
The Central controls five Of the seven
roads that enter Columbus. hence, 1t is
argued, the improvement in business
would, 1t is claimed. benefit the road.
AS the Central, 1t is alleged, shows nc
disposition to grant the concession asked
for. the wholesalers have determined, it is
said, 10 carry the case before the inter
state commerce commission. and they Will
ask that that road be instructed to gran,
reduced rates to Columbus wholesalers
the reduction being in proportion to the
rates enjoyed by other water rate towns ir
that section.
