used the same delivery equipment
This reduced the expense of delivery
about one-third and made the grocer
prosperous; before he simply had
made a living. In a millinery estab.
lishment her card system brought
about a reorganization of the working
force and resulted in better work and
the stoppage of a variety of leaks.
Today Miss Greenlaw has her own
Office and several assistants. These
assistants are trained to work along
the lines she laid down. She keeps
the books of about twenty retailers
She is making more than twice as
much money as she received when
she was bookkeeper for the food
products company, and she has the
great satisfaction Of knowing that
she Is doing very good and helpful
work. She says that when you come
to think that the great volume of
business in this country is not done
by the trusts but by the small manu-.
facturer and small merchant, it is
surprising that they have managed to
exist in view Of the lax methods that
have prevailed in regard to their
bookkeeping. Most of them are all
wrong in the way they figure their
finances. They estimate that they
have so much stock at a certain
amount. They never take account Of
depreciation Of stock, Of fixtures or
equipment. Economically, she says,

any. That will start you to thinking

The jeweler thought over the prop
osition for a day and then engaged
Miss GreenlaW.
Within two weeks she entered into
a like agreement with a retail grocer
and a milliner. She took desk room
in the office of a general stenogra-
pher, got her name in the telephone
book and sent out an announcement
Of her misunderstanding bookkeep'
er to retail merchants.
1t is astonishing what a bright,
clever person with well-trained
mind and business knowledge can dis
cover in a business house where sys-
tenn has been noticeable for its alb
sence.
That jeweler was good artisan
and a good salesman. He did bust
ness of about $4,000 year and en-
ployed several hands. His store was
in fairly good location, his rent not
heavy and he should have been pros
porous, but he had hard time meet
ing his bills. He had been in the
same location nine years. He owed
$4,000 to the wholesale houses. They
pressed him continually. If they
were inclined to do so they could
close up his shop at any time. The
only reason they did not was because
they felt they had $4,000 invested in
his business and it was perfectly
safe. In addition they knew he
would have to buy from them at
their price and was not in position
to balk or protest. He was hitched,
hobbled, tied-an independent retail
merchant in name but not in fact.
His Business in tumble.
One of the first things Miss Green
law did was to inventory the stock.
The jeweler said his stock invoiced
100000. Miss Greenlaw found 1t did
not invoice $4,000. There was a
lot of dead" stuff in the collection,
articles that had fair value when
the jeweler bought them but which
passed out Of style long ago. In the

Waiting for Soap.

Soap Clubs Held Here" is the no

inquiry l found that the clubs we're
similar to the hat and feather clubs
which abound in Whitechapel and
Bethnal Green. The money is pooled
together every week for soap, and
there is a draw who shall have it first.
You may be lucky and get your soap
the first week you join the club, or

Merriment causes a frequent move

IN MEMORY OF MRS. EMMA DAVIS

Mrs. Emma Price Davis was born in
Lawrence County, Miss, April the
18th, 1854. She was married to Mr..
Fletch Davis, Dec. the 8th, 1871. Soon
after her marriage she made a public
profession of religion and united with
the Baptist church, of which she re-
manned faithful, consistent member
until her death, She was the mother
of nine children, eight of whom are
grown and are still living. Six sons
and two daughters. The Oldest son,
Hon. Jno. Davis, has been a member
of the Board Of Supervisors of this
county for nearly eight years. The
daughters are both married and these
as well as all of her sons were near
enough to be with her during much
of the several months In which she.
suffered, during her last illness. She
died on Friday, the 26th of Feb, 1915.
Very seldom has it been my sad
duty to chronicle the death of one
who had as large share of my conf
dence and Christian esteem as had Sis
ter Davis. She had many noble traits
OF character. l was her pastor for
great many years, baptized most of
her children. was often in her home
and, l believe, knew more of her re-
ligious life than any one else I can
mention only few of the qualities
which shone so brightly through her
life, as wife, mother, neighbor and
christian.
She loved her home. Like most of
the mothers who were raised during
and before our civil war, she believed
that her first duty was to her husband
and children. She was kind to her
