MAIL ORDER BUSINESS.

Our city is blessed with as en-
terprising merchants as can be
found in any town OF any state III
the Union, who pride themselves
In keeping up-to-date stocks OF
merchandise. yet some of our peo-
pie persist in sending to mail order
houses when they want anything.
A gentleman OF this city sent an
order to a mail order house in April
this year for a surrey. At the same
time he sent his money and the
surrey came just four months later.
He could have bought the surrey
from either of our dealers at
the same price and not have been
out his money for a day. We
don't know what he paid for the
surrey, but we will bet years
subscription to the Reporter that
he could have saved money by buy
ing from his friends at home. He
bought the surrey from printed de-
scriptions, and could not see what
he was buying It's a safe bet that
he was skinned.
Another gentleman received sam
piles Of clothing, and selected suit
of clothes at SI4.97, and with the
same samples came another similar
but inferior in quality, at S9.I2.
He kept part of the sample and
sent in his order. When the suit
came il was made from the S9.I2
sample. Having half OF the sam
pie of the goods ordered he COM
pared the sample with the suit and
as they did not tally he refused
the suit. This is another means
the mail order people have of skin
ming the uniniormed. Each man
will tell you he gets better bargains
when the truth is he has been skin
ned. Better see the goods before
you buy.-Rockdale Reporter.

SECOND DAY.

The second days session OF the
A. NJ. T.. Sunday school conven'
ton opened with religious services
conducted by Presiding Elder Cor
don.
After the usual routine Of roll
call and the adoption of the min
u,es had gone over, the convention
settled down to work. The Hunts.
vile district reported assessments
and annual dues.
To hear many of the ministers
relate their joys, sorrows, hind
RANGES and sufferings and yet re.
joicing and praising God that they
are permitted to enjoy the distinc-
ton OF suffering and laboring in
the establishing and extension of
the Church of God would bring
tears 10 ones eyes.
A number OF visitors came in
during the afternoon. A paper,
GLOW shall we Remedy the Poor
Sunday School Contributions" was
read and the discussion opened by
Rev. VI. Lynch; various causes
were mentioned and remedies rec
commended.
The convention has run very
smoothly thus far. Very good re-
ports have come from both districts.
EvRNING SESSION.
At an early hour the church was
filed to hear Rev. +. +. Washing.
ton, presiding elder of the Weimar
district, preach. Rev. Washing
ton was i'll and Rev. II. p. Evans
took his place and preached a pow

Subject, Lost Opportunities. "
The church was packed from pul-
pit to front door. Religious fervor
ran very high at times. Surely

service, and the administration OF
the communion TO more than one
hundred and sixty communicates,
the convention proceeded to organ

Prof. A. l.. Rutherford and Rev.
J. X. NJ. Lee were elected secrata-

During the afternoon Bishop

AT night Bishop Tyree preached
an instructive sermon from the
text, Let everything be done de-
Gently and in order" Cor. 1870.
The Bishop made a strong appeal
in behalf of Goodness, cleanliness
and purity in life and character.
Bishop Tyree spoke very earnestly
against the reading of poor, trashy
He exhorted all pro-
Tossing christians to hold high the
standard Of living practical

currency and it is impossible to
have general panic when prices
are rising. OF course, there will
be readjustments in special cases
where speculation raises prices
above the normal level, bnt we may
expect a steady increase in the level
of prices and a continuation Of
prosperity as long as the volume of
money increases more rapidly than
population and business.
The trouble is not with wealth
production, but with distribution.
The trusts are bleeding the public;
the tariff harons are extorting from
consumers and the railroads are
overcharging patrons, but these
things can be remedied easier now
than ever before. The trusts can
be dissolved and they will employ
more people and sell more goods
under competition; the tariff can
be reduced and the wage roll and
the output increased; railroad rates
can be reduced and the patrons can
use the money Thus saved in buy
ing what the manufacturers have
to sell.
Now is the time to dissolve the
trusts, reform the tariff and reduce
railroad rates, and no threat of
panic should scare the public
