BILLS OVER A CENTURY OLD They Show Tea to llnve Ileen n Cam? bridge student'* Favorite Drink. There Is a bill for groceries, etc., fur? nished for au undergraduate at Cam? bridge lu the year 1788. The bill con? tains oue or two items of 1'urnituiv. Apparently the undergraduate took over rooms already furnished at a val? uation, and certain articles had to be bought new, such as a hearth brush, a pail, a mop and a ''Holland gotcii." Oue knows not what this means, but it cost 2 shillings 1) pence (4:) cents). The undergraduate would seem at first sight to have consumed tea iu a most reckless in.'iincr. On Oct. 24 he is charged 2 shillings for Hyson aud 1 shilling Q pence for Congo. On Nov. 1 he is charged 2 shillings for tea aud on the same day. whkh looks odd. ti shillings 0 pence for tea. On the Utk of the mouth he buys a new teapot, the old one. oue supposes, worn out with hard service. However, this tea lasts him till the end of the term, so that his tea costs him for the two months no more than 11 shillings, or $2.7.'?. and as the price of tea at this time varied from 8 Shillings to about 20 shillings we may conclude that he got through no more than a pound during the term. lu other words, this young man took for breakfast a slight repast of Wenk tea and bread and butter. Dinner was then served at 12. so that breakfast was only what the Indians call a ??chota baarl." Ou sugar ho spent 4 shillings, which means six pounds at K pence a pound, Ou candles he spent 21 shillings N'j pence, or about .'5 shil? lings a week. Me burned wax candles, mold candles and "wax twist." Salt was a shilling a packet. On two occa? sions lie hough! sand. Was. then, the Hour of his room sanded? it would seem so.?St. Louis lb-public.

There Us something really nathetfs. in the way a mother butterfly builds a nest for ber childreu. In tbe lirst place, tlic little homo where tli" eggs deposited represents .1 great deal of sacrifice, for it is lined with several layers of down plucked from the moth* er's own soft body. The eggs havlug been laid carefully upon this luxurious, pretty cout h are protected by :ui equal? ly pretty coverlet made of the same material. These butterfly bedclothes are often arranged with an Intricacy that is quite curious ami perplexing. B?rne times a bed is made so that each sep? arate delicate hair stands upright, thus giving the entire uest the appearance of a little brush of downy fur. Then again, the eggs are laid spirally round a tiny brauch, and, as the covering follows their course, the effect resem? bles the busy tail of a fox, only the nest is more beautiful than the "brush" of the finest fox that ever roamed over country. The building of this downy nest is the latest earthly labor of the mother butterfly, for by the time it> is com? pleted her own delicate body is denud? ed of Its natural covering, and there Is nothing left for her to do but die, a sacrifice which she promptly and heroically makes In the interest of the coming butterfly generation.

Her name was Emily Freshbrend. In the next town 1 got so interested In queer names that I soon heard of a speedy individual called Sarah Deer hoof. In that same town there is a man named Henry Bookstruck. Ever after that I was on the lookout. On the train I met David Ncwsalt and Millie Newlove.

EDITOR: You may have had us in mind when referring in a recent I issue of your paper to the peculiarity of merchants in regard to advertising, in which you quoted them as saying that "in good times it was not necessary to advertise, and in hard times it did not pay." While we have always fouud that advertising paid us, we must confess that for the past sixty days any in? crease of business that we might secure by that means, could not have been satisfactorily waited on, as our clerical force has been taxed to its utmost capacity. I Now that the rush of cotton is over and we have an opportunity to pay a few words to our friends in the country, we desire to acknowledge, through '.he columns of the Watch? man and Southron, our grateful thanks to them for the liberal patronage bestowed upon us, for which we can offer nothing in return except our promise that their interests will be as care? fully guarded by us in the future as they have been in the past j It is particularly gratifying to us to acknowledge a very liberal trade during the months of September and October from our farming friends, to whom it was our pleasure to extend a credit during the summer. It proves to us that they appreciate our endeavor to be just and reasonable with them, when they need assistance, as we have always tried to be?our motto being LIVE AND LET LIVE Although we tried to anticipate this season's wants by buying a heavier stock than ever before, our trade has so far exceeded our expectations, that we have been obliged to re? plenish frequently and freely every department of our store. In Dry Goods We bought a very heavy stock of staples, a fair percentage of which we still have on hand and are selling at old prices, Those Tar Heel Blankets Which you have been waiting for so long have* come at last. It was not our fault that they were not here sooner as our contracts were made in May for September delivery, but the mill has been so crowded with orders it was impossible to deliver them sooner. These goods are made in A Southern Mill From Sout?ern Wool, By Southern Men and there are none better. They are improving on the finish every year. We are selling at the same price as last year; but if we have to duplicate we will be obliged to charge an advance. We only have about FIFTY PAIRS, so don't put off buying, or you may get left. SHOES. Why the advance in cotton should have affected the price of shoes, but strange to say they too have gone up. We don't know whether it was judgment or luck, but our purchases for Fall were nearly double our usual contracts. We are buying now for Spring and paying 10 to 15 per cent more for the same class of goods, but those oa hand will go at the old prices while they last. In our write-up about Shoes last Fall we had something spe? cial to sav about The H. 0. Godman Line for Women and Children. Our increased sales for these goods prove that we told the truth. Bear in mind we are still the Sole Agents for them and Guarantee evert Pair THE L. M. REYNOLDS LINE OF MEN'S SHOES, sold exclusively by us, are trade-winners. The prices range from 1.75 to $3.60, and every pair warranted. If you want the best $3 00 shoe buy a Reynolds. CLOTHING. This has certainly been our banner season in the clothini business, and if there are any of the men or boys in the county who have not bought a suit, it has not been our fault ; but fear? ing there still may be a few unprovided, we are keeping up our stock by telegraphing orders for shipment by express. if you need an overcoat see us before buying, as we have some great values. In our Hat and Furnishing Goods De? partment will be found some values that compare favora? bly with the balance of our stock. This announcement would not be complete without a word about our GROCERY STOCK. This department is up to the usual standard, and that is saying about all that is necessary for it.
