Fighting SO strong a general sentiment as now
prevails with respect to this matter will hurt

cutting down of fares from 10 cents to D. yet
no long series of seasons had passed before they
voluntarily granted the reduction. And events
have shown that they acted wisely in making
the concession.

Woman is a citadel taken not

A woman always has great
confidence in the doctor who
says he relies on her intelligent
care more than ON medicines.
A woman and her money are
soon shopping.

UnspOken Words.

The kindly words that rise with
in the heart.
And thrill it with their sym
pathetic tone.
But die ere spoken, fail to play
their par
And claim a merit that is not
their own.
The kindly word unspoken is a
sin
A sin that wraps itself in pur-
est guise,
And tells the heart that, doubt
ing, looks within,
That not in speech, but
thought, the virtue lies.
1t is not so; another heart may
thirst
For that kind word. as Hagar
in the Wild
Poor banished Hagar'-prayed
a well might burst
From out the sand to save
her parching child.
And loving eyes that cannot
see the mind
Will watch the expected
movement of the lip;
All! can ye let it's cutting silence
wind
Around the heart and seattle
it like a whip?
Then hide lit not, the music of
the soul,
Dear sympathy, expressed
with kindly voice;
But let it, like a shining river
| To deserts dry-to heart:
that would rejoice.
Oh, let the sympathy of kindly
words
Sound for the poor, the
i frlendleSs and the weak!
And he will bless you-He who
struck these chords
Will strike another when il
turn you seek.

Besides being the financial center Of the

the growth of business was enormous.
IN many lines avera gins from twenty to
thirty per cent more than the preced-.
Ing year-wlliie the prospects for the
coming year are most bright and no
cloud Of misfortune is visible.
Mr. Langhcrne Putney, of the Stephen:
putney Shoe Company, said last night
that in his estimation. the; South was
never IN a better condition; year. by year,
the people are buying better grades of.
merchandise, and collections, show the
general prosperity. Richmond this year
viii sell over 8, 900. 600 shoes This-city-sells
more tlen any other city in the South.
While Atlanta and Lynchburg sell many

Of what is sold in Richmond.

/ average, three. or four car loads Of foot

The shoe business for the. coming year
Is expected to run over ss0G9,000. To
,hese figures must be added sl,so0, coo.
which stands for. the amount of shoes
manufactured yearly at the. State prison.
Nearly all Of these shoes are. sold South
