The Great Syndicate Sale.

The Mill and Factory Syndi-
cate, of 475, Broadway, New
York, have chosen the Surprise
Store, Columbus, Miss, as the
store from which to conduct
their famous sale of mill and fac
tory ends. These sales have
been conducted all over the
South and never fail to open the
eyes of smart buyers. The syn
dictate is the outlet for the over
crowded mills and factories of
the East to dispose of their over
productions and for the i'm
porters and jobbers to protect
themselves against carrying
overbroken stock. All these
goods are turned over to the
syndicate who select an enter
prising store in the larger towns,
ship the goods and send man
to conduct a special sale. Cost
of manufacturing is not consid-
cred in fixing prices as the syn
dictate is after quick and sure
sales. Messrs. Carter & Chap
man, the proprietors Of the Sur
prise Store in order to make the
sale more attractive will mark
down prices on their large stock
of goods and many bargain will
be picked up at this sale that
could never be gotten SO cheap
again. The enterprise is Wor thy
of commentator and Carter 81
Chapman are to be congratulated
on securing the sale.

THE BUSINESS LEAGUE.


THE DISPATCH believes that
the people of Colum bus are now
on the right line to build up Co
lumbus. We have had boards of
trade and all manner of leagues
which have accomplished very
little. The reason is obvi-
Gus. The officers and mem bers
of these organizations have not
had the time to give such mat
tiers their attention. Besides,
they have had no money. It is
pretty safe to say that without
money and work nothing can be
accomplished in d business way.
The feature which strikes at the
very heart of efforts is found in
the paid secretary which this
new organization proposes to
employ. 1t will be his duty to
find the feasible plans for estab-
fishing factories in Columbus.
He viii find the competent
man" to take charge Of it. Find
ing him he will bring him and
the capital together. No body
but paid man has the time to do
all this. We are reliably inform
ed that right now there are three
concerns who are in correspond
ence with a view to locating here;
that there is a practical car
builder who has S25, 10000 to in
vest in a car factory. A paid
secretary could get behind this
and no doubt bring such a fac
tory to realization. A prominent
business man said yesterday
that there were several indus
tries we ought to have and could
have if some one would make the
start; that he had contributed
literally to this new idea of or
ganization because it appealed to
him as being along the right
line. The towns in the South
which are growing in Importance
have similar organizations. 1t
has been found to be the only
way" At the meeting last Tues
day night Mr.. Tom Richardson,
the secretary of the New Orleans
Progressive Union asked if we
had an organization. He was
told that we did. Have you any
money? When he was told that
we did not he said then you
have no organization. The New
Orleans organization pays Mr..
Richardson s., 10000 a year and
it is all subscribed by her public
spirited citizens. What he is do
ing for New Orleans can be done
proportionately for Columbus.
| There will be a meeting at the
city hall Tuesday night. All cit
liens are urged to be present.
In the mean time the committee
will call on every one for sub
scriptions. We must not let this
proposed organization fail 1t
means all for COlumb uS. With
over a million in our three banks
something must be proposed to
enlist it in enterprises for Co
Iumbus. Everybody is request
ed to come out.

For almost twenty years l
have done an active practice in
medicine and surgery, and the |
work and exposure incident
thereto makeeit impossible for
me to continue longer in my be-
loved profession. Having been a
great sufferer from rheumatism
since childhood and the work of
my profession being outdoor
work, a great deal in the night
and all sorts of weather, I feel
that l would be doing myself and
those dependent upon me great
wrong TO continue longer in a
work that will soon unfit me for
any and ali kinds of business.
So in retiring from the practice
of medicine / wish to say that
there are many pleasant recol-
lections that I shall ever cherish
as long as | live. The relation of
physician and patient has been
to me very sacred one, and l
hope that [ have been faithful
and true to the confidence re-
posed in me. That [ have fallen
short of my full duty at times l
must admit. But in my humble
way l have striven to do what l
conceived to be for the best in
terest of my patients, ever keep
ing in mind that whatever hap
pened in the sick room or Office
should be as sacred as the sane
tity of my home. And now be-
ing forced by i'll health to sever
this very pleasant relation of
physician and patient, thank
those loyal friends who by pat
ronage and kind words have con-
tributed to the success I have
made in my chosen profession,
and not only in my own behalf
do [ thank you but in behalf of
my beloved com panion who has
ever been an inspiration to me in
my work. [ think [ would be
remiss if I closed this card with
out saying that my connection
with DR.. Jas. w. Lipscomb as
my partner in the practice of
medicine for the last five years
has been very pleasant and help
full and I feel it my duty to say
l have found him at all times to
be honest, upright and consider
ate of my interest and ever mind
full of the best interest of his pa
TENTS.
Ny residence in Columbus has
been to me very pleasant indeed
and l feel greatly indebted to
many people aside from my con-
nection with them in a profess
sional way. and as I expect to
make my home in this beautiful
city of great church and school
advantages and commercial and
industrial possibilities, hope to
so deport myself in the future
that shall merit a continuance
of the confidence that you have
so kindly reposed in me in the
past. So thanking you again. I
am, Yours truly,

it. Yet beneath those woods is min

the Porto Rican laborer finds Il bare
subsistence easily assured unless he is
handicapped with an unduly large and

too expensive for him, however: he re-
lies for food on bananas, beans and

are frequently accepted as the equiv

The little blossoms all around
DO lift their heads to love her;
And they with kisses cool and sweet
In fond embraces linger.

Or OH her snowy finger.
Now shall a thing OF green and white.

Be held more dear in Celia's sight
Than some poor mortal being?
Shall blue and red that fades apace,
In rainy breezes rocking,
Be counted worthy Celia's grace.

With feigned smiles cajole her,

needed the So caught fairly big shad
