New Occupation for Women.

The mans wife was in the country,
and she had written to him asking him
to buy her some stockings, telling him
the size, style and price topay. The man
reached the shop where wife his had
told him this certain kind of stocking
was to be found. His natural courtesy
obliged him to hold one of the doors
open for several minutes while a crowd
of women passed in and out, taking the
act of courtesy as a matter of fact
Finally he became provoked and tired
and abruptly gave up his place as door
keeper.
He got to the stocking counter at last
and sank upon vacant STOOL No one
appeared to notice him and no one
came to wait upon him. He did not
seem to mind much at first, and just
sat there looking around, and, to his
way of thinking, getting Drawer and
bolder every moment. Women came
and women went; they told what they
wanted, made their selection or merely
looked over the stock and went away,
and still he sat there and no one came
near him. BY this time he had quite
regained his presence of mind, and
getting tired of sitting there unnoticed,
got up sufficient courage to ask the
floor walker to get some one to wait
upon him.
A voice saying, What is it you wish,
sir?" caused him to look up quickly,
and there stood a young and pretty
girl, smilingly awaiting his reply.
He mustered up courage enough to
say:
Ladies' stockings"
What color and what size, please?"
Then he began to tumble in his pock-
cts for the letter telling the size, color
and STYLE but that letter was nowhere
to be found He grew hot and then
cold, his face got red, he knocked his
umbrella down and it fell with a crash.
AS he stopped to pick it up he dropped
his hat, and, finally, was SO mixed up
and confused and by this time so irri-
tated at the pretty, smiling girl, who
was so cool, calm and collected, that
he blurted out:
"Oh, show me your very latest styles
in No. 10''
She laid out a selection for him to
choose from which almost blinded him.
They We're striped and dotted and open
worked, and of every imaginable and
unimaginable fancy under the sun.
He made his selection at last, pur-
chasing four pairs of brilliantly col
ored hose at about three times the price
his wife had told him, and left the shop
hugging his precious bundle, feeling
himself a hero in the strife.
He stopped at the express office and
sent his bundle away, and then, with
the conscientious dignity of man who
has done his duty, no matter how dis
agreeable it was, he went home.
In a day or two he received letter
from his wife and few hours after
ward the stockings by express. His
wife said:
You know that I wear size S1a. Those
stockings are in the most horrible taste.
| am sending them back to you. |

counter, and she was guying you by

Trade at Home.

In conversation with one of the
city's most prominent merchants
last week, he remarked to us,
THAT the sending away by the
people of the city to st. Louis,
Memphis, Chicago and other
places Tor their goods was killing
the business of Greenville' There
is hardlya day passes, but what
goods are ordered as a result,
money leaves here that never finds
its way back and the only benef-
Charles are the government, eX-
press and railroad companies.
Such a policy If kept up will
ruin any city. For the entire
business of city to grow, depends
upon the trade of ITS people, and
lit il the dollars from their peck
cts which pays the taxes, builds
new stores and manufacturing en-
terprises. runs the schools and
keeps up the church, and if one
would investigate they will find
every dollar they send away robs
the city of these improvements or
retards their advancement. Butyou
will hear some say: "Why, | can
get things so much cheaper away
than | can IN Greenville. Now,
we are compelled to differ with
them on this point, for while we
will admit there may be a few
cents difference IN cost Their is not
enough after cost of ord, and
express charges are paid to justify
any one to buy goods unseen or
from a catalogue picture. For as
we contend, If this money is spent
here 1t will give the doctor and
lawyer more practice among the
merch0nt class, and the merchants
and banks, upon whom the up
building and prosperity of a city
depends, more money to invest.
No doubt you hear the people euss
the farmers for sending away
for goods, but remember you set
the example, and until you stop
the ruinous policy, you cannot eX-
pect them to do it. In our opinion
no more patriotic order could be
organized in the city, by our ladies,
than an order of Home Trade,
whose members agree not only to
trade this year at home, but will
urge upon all their neighbors and
friends to do the same.
Let this be done and there will
be few cities in the state more
prosperous than GreenyilIe,
