Sale of Jap silks in spite

Merchants are face to face with condition unheard of by the present generation. It is get ting harder and harder to find merchandise!
 This is the fact about practica fly every sort of merchandise. There are almost no exceptions.
 It is as true of things made in America as of those usually i'm ported. It is as true of staples as of fancy things. There simply appears to be a decided shortage.
 Just think of manufacturers and wholesalers saying: "If you want merchandise, better give us your order. We'll TRY to take care of you now. Yes, you II have to pay our price, whether you like it or not. It isn't a question of price; it s a question of ability to furnish the merchan- dise"!
 There may be no reasons at all.

There were two occasions when ]
saw General Grant actually shed tears.
The one was in the forepart OF July
Of 1864, while We were In headquarters
at City Point in the operations before
Petersburg. A telegram came in from
Gen. W. T. Sherman. who was crap.

mouth twitched and his eyes closed as
II he were shutting out the baleful
words. Then the tears came and one
followed the other down his bronzed
cheeks AS he sat there without word
OF comment. II was most eloquent
silence.
The other occasion was In October
OF tho same year. when the news OF
the death Of Gen. T. y. q. Ransom
reached us. Ransom and Grant had
been comrades In arms In the West In
the early days OF the war. and \
strong friendship had grown up bs

ofiicer struck home with peculiar force
and none felt that loss moro deeply
than General Grant.
