quantieses, don't fail to see them in plug tobaccos.
They took advantage of the late tobacco war and
since the recent advance in all cheaper grades of tobacco they can sell you by the caddy at less rates than
wholesale houses will ask you for it.    If in need of
^any tobacco don't fail to see them.    An old adage is
ijihat "A word to the wise ia sufficient.
Mason & Boyd wish to say to all their old customers and to the public in general that on and after
January 1st, 1896, they will not extend any credit that
will run over 30 days, being well satisfied from past
experience that such a measure will enable them to do
business not only on a cheaper basis but will work to
the mutual advantage of both themselves and their
customers. Those in arrears at present will be expected to call and settle their accounts by cash or negotiable paper before the 1st day of January, 1896.
After that date Mason & Boyd will make only
one price on butter and eggs, always cash, or trade, as
„$he customer wishes and will always buy at regular
market price and in such quantities as the market will
warrant.
Wishing you a Merry Christmas and Happy New
Year, and thanking all of our old customers and the
people in general for past patronage and hoping the
same; to continue under more favorable auspices, .we
remain Yours respectfully,

Corner Grocery Gosoip.
The usual lull following tho holiday
rush found tho grocer pinking a systematic examination of his books, preparatory
to opening tho new year with a new rule.
He had struck Ma balances on Ms profit
and loss accounts, and with his estimate
of good and bad accounts on tho books
he had come to tho rational conclusion
that the credit system was a delusion and
a snare. • He grasped the marking brush,
immersed it in -tho stove blacking, and
had completed the following on a soap
box cover when the chronic loafer appeared at the front door: '
:   KNOW MORE TICK   :
: AEETEE ;
j    JANEWABY, FTJRST.    \
"Now you havo struck the keynote of
suocees," remarked the o. I, as he sat
himself on ft barrel of crackers apd tho
head caved in. "It is absolutely appalling to read of the hundreds o£ failures in
business each year, ancl I feel safe in asserting that ninety-nine out Of every hun-.
dred of them are due to tho Credit system,
The able bodied man who is so shiftless
and lazy that he has a horror for bone
labor is the individual that is bringing,
disaster and ruin upon this country. Ho
preys upon such, kind hearted, confiding
dealers as you, secures his subsistence
-with no intention of ever paying. It is a
most solemn question and its correct solution will never be found until the mercantile interests of this country unite
and present a solid front against tho
nefarious credit system." An old lady
tmrl came- in for fivo cents worth of
salsoda, and tho chronic loafer reached
over tho counter, picked up a 10 cent jot
of Early York, took a liberal chew off the
corner, and with an air ol supreme confidence went intcrhis overalls for the dime,
and after searching for a few seconds
started for the door, saying as he went
out: "I went and'Jeft my wallet in my
other breeches. Just inako a note, of
this." Tho grocer didn't have timo to
reply .before ihe c. 1. was around the corner, so he kicked tlio tiger cat across «the
store, threw his newly painted sign into
the stove and set down to ponder over
man's duplicity.

utterly- to-to until some thoughtless
Mis*! dropped a word of regret because of
tho de_iarturo of their teacher and of the
occasion being the final farewell, when the
floodgates of tears opened that so far had
been held in check. This was followed
by heartrending shrieks, moans and wails
of anguish until one maiden fainted but
fortunately fell in the arms of tlie beloved
Prof,, who, with great thoughtfulness applied the soverign balm of a, sweet Iriss
and sho immediately recovered. For
fear of further calamity tho balm was applied to tho balance of tho bevy, and further risk wns averted.
