The Five-Cent Fare Agitation Re-
vived--NOteS About Town.

When oil topics fail, the Riverside I'm

subject for argument and debate. In the
five-cent fare on the Union railroad.
Saturday evening this was the subject
that occupied the attention of the MEM
hers. and kept somu OF thom until IL was al
most Sunday. There was large gathering
present. and during the discussi IN IL was
intimated that tho fiye-cont fare was
liable to come TO them on TIE instalment
plan.
For instance, when the Riverside line
ilrst started you could only ride TO Moores
corners for nickel. Then the company
softened up "A little and gave the passen-
Rers ride as far as Armington's corners
TOR the same amount, and now it Is inti-
mated that the company's heart has been
touched again and the distance is to DO
extended, and so on. liz Is expected that II
the improvement Society can only hold
out, their children may yet ride from
Providence To Riverside for five cents.
A committee was appointed to canvass
tho Riverside district and ascertain In
facts and figures, the actual decrease in
tho population, valuation OF proJ erty, and
the amount of business, presumably
caused by the Union railroad entering the
village.

These forms will merely give a general
idea of the way in which business records
should be kept.
An extensive business would naturally
necessitate the use Of more elaborate
system than that outlined here, but it
would ba only an enlargement OF the
same primary principles.
The purchasing of merchandise Is one
of the fundamental points of business
In making purchases terms arc prelimi-
nary consideration.
The dealer buys either for cash or credit
and in either case the question of dis
count may be involved.
The terms OF purchase should. in all
cases, be recorded on tho invoice, and
from that copied into whatever records
OF business transactions are kept by
either seller or buyer.
The stock book. therefore, comes next
into consideration.
This is IA record of the aggregate OF mer-
cbandiso purchased, showing date OF ro-
ceipt nature Of articles and cost and sell
ing price OF them.
The merchandise having been received
and entered into stock, it must next 10
priced and marked for selling.
The system Of marking articles gener-
ally used is TO substitute for a numeral a
letter of the alphabet or TO use cipher
code.
The cipher code is more often used for
the cost mark. The following is an ex-
ample of cost mark:
Cents 12 3 50 60 SO o
Signs % n Y ) - l. ID V
The selling mark may be derived from
any arrangement OF letters, but Is more
easily remembered If involving some
phrase for instance;
1aaoip IS &IRs1 1gG
Combinations either for cents or dolla-s
can DO made from these letters.
Ii necessary give both wholesale and
retail selling prices. Capitals may 10
used for tho former and small letters for
the latter.
