Mr. Comber walked up lo him, and looking down his throat saw the end of the kitten's tail about lodisuit pear. Thereupon be grasx'd the tail and hauled the kitten out still alive. Mr. Richards told mo that the truth of this story had been doubted in Fug land ; for my part 1 see no reason to disbelieve it, and would recommend those who do to pay a visit to tlie ioo and inspect the adjutants there..

I suppoNC it U the same in everything else, tint, ol course, you know our trade is the first lo sudor from competition of that kind." , "How ia tliutf" "I atu surprised that you ask mo such a question." replied the tailor, slightly elevating his eyebrows. "when you should know, if you do not. that we must it'l a large prolit on a custom made suit of clothes to make any money. Whyl llecause there las been an unwritten law iroiu tuuo immemorial which allows man to Day his tailor's bill hist of ull. Now, a person cau't get credit toany amount iu ouu or tlie nig eslabiisnmeni. n he orders a suit ut such a place lie must leave a deposit, and the balance is de manded when the clothes are deliv ered. On the other hand, tailor who has a Bmall shop must cater lo his cus tomers by allowing credit. Now, in these times or sharp competition, uign renta and heavy expenses for skilled labor, you will see thai it takes tlie Drotit unon a Great many suits of clothe to pay running expenses and lav up something lor dun times. W hen there was less oomiietitiou we could get along, but now, beside the big establishments where tliey can gel up a suit of clothes for almost nothing, there are innumerable shops where they tell fashionable looking clothes imitations of the clothes we keep, of course for just alout half the money we can sell the real goods tor. iu for mer years, the line custom tailors -and the ready made stores monopolized the ousinesa. neuuer iiiierrereu wiui too trade of the other, and consequently we hod a certain hold on our custom ers, who, in order to get new clothes of us, would pay their bills rather than be forced into buying ready made garments. Now they leave our bills unpaid and iro to one of the cheap custom stores, pay cash for in terior goods, and tneu como oacK and tell us how exorbitant our prices are. Why, it's enough to drive a man crazy sometimes, Yes, tho better class of small tailoring shoos are beincr driven out of business, and it's too bad, for the establishments that are driving tuein out are doing a much lnienor kind of work. The great object with them is to make ud and sell fashion- ublo goods at a low figure. Now, I will not suy thut the material they use is all shoddy far f win it. It is sur prising: for what a small sum they can sell really good clothes. How do they do it? Well, in the first place, they rely to a great degree upon transient trade. Secondly, tlie credit system is tubooed and they get cash for their goods. Thirdly, they nay the lowest wases possible to their help. Fourth y. thev do not protend to put the finish on their goods thut a first class tailor does. A man argues m tins way when he patronizes onoof thine shops: lie says to himself : i huvo beeu pay- inz f ill for trousers, while here is a man who savs he can eel me up puir equally good for $8- I know that Ul sun upitttiraiicu inssia trousers sui for a considerable time be us eood as my $16 pair, consequently 1 will buy the 18 ones and wheu they are worn out I can Pet another Duir. navimr for both pairs whut I would ordinarily pay for one, Now, you see, if his argument is a good one he would be very fool ish if ho did not take udvantugeof the cheaper man. After ull," concluded the tailor, sighing, "if it weren't that we were expected to give such long credit 1 don t know that we would be any worse otf than our neighbors. That is what is killing us."

We are glad to say to our friends and customers that all grades have consider- " ably advanced since Christmas. Bright wrappers, cutters and strips are highet than they have been in several years, and tobaccos raised in Western North Carolina and East Tennessee. -' ' The exporters and manufacturers who need the type of tobacco raised in this section have their buyers on this market, and are paying more for it bers-than else- where4 We would warn our customers against the drummers and agents who are paid big salaries to induce shipments to other markets than this, by promises to sell at reduced commissions. After your tobacco is shipped it is from under your control . and when you receive returns there is always an excuse for low prices, claiming to bacco to be damaged, etc., etc. We have, with great expense, made i The Leading Warehouse in the State where you attend the sales of your own shipment. Elsewhere we give a partial list of actual sales made since the holidays. d&wtapr!2 PKOTECTINO PROPERTY OWNE88.
