Selling Coffins on the Installment Plan. Dawson, Ga.?This is the day of enterp ise and business push, and con. stantly some new line of endeavor to coax the coy and timid ducat from its hiding place is sprung on the public. But it has remained for the representative of some foreign concern ^ who is now working the county to "cap the climax'" in that respect. According to report mis ienow is ^ canvassing among negroes and selling ^ i coffins on the installment plan ?a payment when the order is given ? and the remainder at intervals until the box is paid for. The argument used is that, as the coffin is to be occupied by the purchaser when he enters upon the eternal sleep, he is entitled to have one to suit his own idea, and the only way to do it is to select it while alive and put it away until it is needed. It is said that he has taken a number of orders, and if he is not a fa_ kir a coffin will soon be a part of the furniture in many negro households. o COLI) WAVE COMES DURING FAIR WEEK. W. P.
