Yfter Sept. 30th. 1898, we will adopt
the Cash System. Our books will be

ineed that this is the proper way to
conduct a dry goods and shoe bu3i

and merchant. It will cost any mer

r ;; Example Mr. A buys dry
,lllK and shoes to the amount of
Zl .,n- and sell them on credit at a
of 30 per cent, his gain is $300,
i,:; ::i:s is not all gain as the follow -n
' a ill prove: Any merchant doing
a i-vdit busines is bound to have some
This we will put at the low
c- ii.iate of 5 percent. He will have
t "'.ploy a bookkeeper and collector,
v ; i. will cost him 5 per cent, and if
.c lis on credit he must necessarily
; v on credit, and thereby sustain a
of 5 per cent discount which he
,, id .et off if. he paid cash for his
'o cis. Add all these losses and ex
p, -os together and we find that Mr.
A. instead of making $300, has only
:i.aae 6150.
Now we will look at the other side
i: this question.
Mr. li buys dry goods and shoes to
tie amount of $1,000 and sells them for
ca-h at a profit of 15 per cent; his
prohi would be $150. Mr. B, by sell
ing his goods for cash will be able to
pay cash and get the 5 per cent djs
, . . int which would amount to $50.
Aii.i this to the $150 and we find that
M I? has made $200, or $50 more
im:' Mr. A, and has sold his goods
at one-half the profit. In other words
Mr. L, the cash man, has sold his
, ,-tomers goods 15 per cent less than
Mr. A. and has made $50 more. Is
.it not plain to see that selling goods
for cash is of mutual interest to mer
chant and buver?

ANNOUNCEMENT J
LAST NIOHTS RECEPTION
ToThe Young Ladies and Faculty of
Q. F. College.
Last night will be an evening long
to be remembered by the West Mar
ket street church Epworth League.
The occasion was a reception given by
the League to the young ladies and
faculty of Greensboro Female College.
The committee worked, hard and
faithful, and long before the appointed
hour the church was thrown wide open
and the word welcome seemed "to glit
ter in every light.
At eight o'clock the long line of
young ladies halted in front of the
church led by Prof, and Mrs. Smoot.
There they were met by the President
and ushered in the side door. The
reception committee waited in th ves
tibule and after the first introduction
the young ladies were ushered up
stairs. The reception committee fol
lowed and began the second introduc
tion to the young men.
The first part of the program con
sisted of music solos, quartettes and
music by the orchestra.
The next feature of the evening was
announced by Dr. Weaver and the
young ladies and gentlemen were
ushered down stairs to the refresh
ment rooms. The rooms were filled
and refilled until every one had been
served to cream and cake. On leav
ing the refreshment rooms the couples
scattered about the church and the
social feature of the evening was at
its height.
Everything worked to perfection, not
a hitch was noticeable. The evening
seemed to be thoroughly enjoyed and
long before the hands of the clock
pointed to the midnight hour, good
bye had been spoken, the social feat
ure of the season had ended. The old
church was darkened, but was record
ed the most pleasant evening that had
been spent within its walls in a long
time.
STILL ON THE JUflP.
Some Views of Greensboro As
Others See Us.
Greensboro is still on the jump. She
is building dwelling houses By the
score. I counted over 250 new houses
in a two hours' ride today. Mrs. Sol
Weil, of New York, is building a beau
tiful store building in front of the Mc
Adoo house. There are several other
new store buildings going up.
This town is always on the alert.
There is a general movement on foot
now for municipal ownership of lights,
water works, etc.
Greeusboro neds a street car sys
tem. The board of aldermen are at
present advertising for bids to light
the streets, by a company that will
give a street car line and electric pow
er for manufacturers.
Guilford county is a white county.
There are very few negroes. Greens
boro is not cursed with negro loafers.
This is a blessing. The county is cos
mopolitan. From Greensboro in every direction
the farmers are clamoring for good
roads. The road from High Point to
G -eensboro is a graded road. It is a
good road. The Battle -Ground road
is now being put in shape and good
condition. Convicts are at work on
it. H. E. C. Bryant in Cha.-otte Ob
server. THEY ARE flODELS.
The New Houses About Completed
on Summit Avenue.
The new dwellings erected on Sum
mit Avenue by the Summit Avenue
Building Company, now nearing com
pletion, are perfect models of beauty,
workmanship and convenience. They
are equipped with modern conveniences
throughout, gas, water and sewerage.
They are constructed of the very best
material this was one point that
struck us forcibly on a recent visit to
them The material was so pretty,
clear, free from knots or other defects
that it really seemed a pity to hide its
beauty under a coating of paint.
The location of these houses is most
admirable. They are just this side of
the long and graceful curve in the
avenue on ground just rolling and un
even enough to make a pretty and pic
turesque group. A charming site for
a home. We are informed that these
houses are all for sale, and will be of
fered on most easy payments. If you
want to own your own home go out
and take a look at these buildings.
No two of them are alike, but all are
built with the same idea in view,
namely: convenience, health and com
fort. Notice.

Youth and Inexperience.
A young Italian traveling man is in
the city. He carries a chain with a
monkey about the size of a small kit
ten attached to one end. This and a
hand organ completes his outfit. The
organ plays about two pieces of ''mu
s'c," while the monkey turns somer
saults and begs, with the usual pipe
lighting and dancing left off. Both
seem young and quite new at the busi
ness, but "some how or other we get
along."
They were giving a performance in
front of the Lindsay street graded
school this morning, and the children
got so wild that Prof. Grimsley had to
order the couple to vacate.
A Nose Flattened.
Frank Wilborn, colored, occupied
the most prominent chair in 'Squire
Eckle's office this morning. Frank
was up for flattening ihe nose of Wm.
Stewart, also colored. One of these
gentlemen of color had been making
remarks which were calculated to dam
age the standing of the other. Last
night when they met, William says
Frank "smashed his smeller" and
made the blood .flow from that organ
in rivers.
'Squire Eckle thought Frank's fnn
worth two dollars and cost and Frank
paid the amount reluctantly.
Drink Hearty! '
When you are thirsty there is noth
ing that will take the place of a drink
of cool water not too cold, but just
cool enough to be pleasant. And as
you quench your thirst in this manner
it is not unpleasant to think of another
good thing at the same time. This is
how it is done: C. M. Vanstory &
Co., are making their friends a pres
ent of a neat, tin dipper, in the bottom
of which, when you drink, you read
the following words: "Drink hearty

We regret tnai our High Point news
budget failed to reach us today. It
was probably carried by on No. 36,

sometimes the case. It would seem
that Id a run of fifteen miles, that mail
would have time to be worked; but we
are told that sometimes it is impossi
ble to do it. The letters are frequently
mailed on the train and it does seem
that when the route agent picks them
up it would require but a moment to
place them with the Greensboro mail.
