He Makes a Big Profit at Novel syndI.
 eating Business.

"An English clergyman makes a busi- ness of syndicating sermons" said a drummer. who had Just returned from London.
 How do you mean?" some one asked
 Why" explained the drummer. the clergyman writes a sermon, and then he prints about forty or rrty copies of it, and he offers to one preacher in each of forty or fifty towns the exclusive use in his own town of the production. The price of the sermon to each man is only 5 shillngs, but if fifteen or twenty men take 1t, 1t brings in to the syndicator, you see, about 100 shllings. or s25. And, since the sermons are so snort that one can be done in a morning, that is pretty good pay. The syndlcator advertises his sermons in religious paper. The notice reads:
 A clergyman of experience and mod crate views, who distinguished himself during his university course in divinity and English composition, will furinsh original sermons, in strict accordance with the Church of England. in good print. at shillings each. Only one copy will be given in any diocese. A specimen will be sent if wished for Sermons made to order, on any required subject, on reasonable terms.

she had hidden herself in a fit of pique.
In her blissful slumbers she did not
know Of the great excitement and I'M
e%asiness her supposed flight and cruel

The cause assigned for such conduct
is that Miss Mildred had received a
note from a youthful admirer and hat

dence IN account Of her tender age and
demanded to know the name of the
writer, which Miss Mildred refused to
give. Her father then told her that he
would be compelled to punish her,
which caused the young lady to write
the note saying that her father would
never see her again and also secreting
herself in the old trunk.
The Saunders family is one of the
most influential in Johnston county and
are known to many people in this city,
who will be highly gratifed to learn
that the MYSTERIOUS affair has had SUCH
a pleasant sequel.

up their supply of cotton seed and will
