News of the T. P. A.

wv learn of the Illness of our
Secretary, M. l. TASTY.
WAV and Of our old time hus-
tier, John B. Hegger. We
hope however that neither one is in a
serious condition, and that they will
soon be out hustling. The fact that
these two main stays have not been
at their post Of duty this week no
doubt has caused the extraordinary
quietness in T. P. A. circles.
We are advised that Let Turner is
contemplating a trip to Florida. 1t
seems that some of Richmond's citi-
zens have been making some invest
ments around Sanford, Fla, that have
proven quite attractive and several
other people are figuring on trips Of in
vestigation to the wonderful coun-
try" We sincerely trust that If Let.
goes to Florida, he will find all kinds
of ready money awaiting him, and can
make a good profitable investment
that will put him on easy street for
the rest OF his days. 1t might be we'll
for him to keep in mind that he has
a lot Of friends back In Richmond
that a little easy money would look
awful good to, and if he sees any good
propositions flying around that can be
bought at bargain counter prices, aft
err he has taken all that he can carry,
wire us at our expense and we might
money" that would entertain PROPOSE
tons.
The financial Stringency, as talked
so much about, does not seem to at
feet any of the members of Post C
that we have heard of. AS far as out
ward appearances go, they are pros
porous, drawing their salaries regu-
larly, and as happy as travelling men
generally are. They are able to go
out and secure good sized orders,
come home, love their wives and love
their wives alone" as all good Rich
mond travelling men have done as far
back as we have any history. Keep
everybody in good spirits by their
cheerful stories and happy looks.
The next two weeks will be ones of
hard work for the travelling men. as
nearly everybody will want to get their
years business wound up on Saturday
before Christmas. Christmas coming
in the middle Of the week this year
will make it bad week to do any
business, as nearly everybody will
want their goods in the week before
No doubt a great many OF the boys will
be at home Christmas week
Billy" Simcoke has resigned his po-
sition with Howard & Co., and is no
longer "toting" the grip. We have
not learned what Billy's future inten-
lions are. He has our best wishes for
success in any line that he engages in !.
Quite a number Of the travelling men
out of Richmond will regret very much
to learn Of the death Of John s. Fisher,
Of Fairhaven. Ohio. a merchant Of that
town who has been in business there
for a number of years. and has been
a customer of the grocery, candy and
notion houses of Richmond for a long
time.
Mr.. Fisher was a man of sterling
qualities and was held in high esteem
by all who knew him. His death is
much to be regretted.
F. L. Gaines. a prominent merchant
of Trenton. Indiana, called on business
houses and friends yesterday.
The Richmond Candy company has
moved into its new quarters on North
Eighth street, and we are pleased TO
notice that they have a most elegantly
equipped, factory, and will no doubt be
much better than the old place.
I We are also pleased to note the pros
perity that has attended the efforts OF
our old friends, Chris. Cain and Fred
Brown, who have stacked their mon-
|ey and business ability along with the
