while the so much desired and muchly needed cold weather is a
long time coming. We don’t want to carry a dollars worth ot
our present stock of

over, if we can possibly avoid It, and the subject of “profits" will
be made a secondary consideration where they are in the way of
making asalo. We much prefer the counting of the money to
that of handling the goods. Now, this is not idle talk, just to till
this space; we most emphatically mea * 1 * * * * . Hand propose to live up

Iu another columu will be found
an account of the loss by fire of Mr.
Castleberry's new home near tile
city. Last night a prominent citi
zen who is a near friend of the un
fortunate gentleman told a touch
ing story of bis friend’s loss.
Said he, "I know Castleberry
well, and a more deserving man
never lived. He has a large family,
and for years has labored unceas
ingly to got a little ahead and fix
up a snug home for his wife and
little ones. This he had just suc
ceeded in doing, only to lose his all
by fire.
I was with him Wednesday, and
he happily talked of his pretty and
comfortable home, which he had at
last succeeded in building. He
told of how delighted his wife and
children were, and how proud be
and they felt. His happiness was
such that I was greatly impressed
ami I remember wondering if any
king was ever so proud over a mag
nificent palace than this working
man over his little nest.
“ Vesterday morning he walked
into my otllce and at once I saw
that something had happened.
Then he told me of the burning of
his house aud all bis possessions,
and, gentlemen, I don’t think I am
very susceptible, but I caught my
self fee/ing mighty curious. X
never saw a man bo broken down,
and he enumerated many particu
lars which were touching in the
extreme.
" ‘My oldest daughter,’ said he,
‘is nearly heart-broken ove r a mat
ter which may seem little to you or

SANTACLAUSE
I, but was the eveut of her life.
She is just seventeeu, aud if I do
say so, is as pretty and sweet as
anybody’s daughter. She Is just at
the age where a new dress or any
thing of the sort pleases more than
men iikejus can know. For months
I have been promising her one, aud
this week fulfilled it. Wednesday
the affair, plain aud simple enough,
was finished, aud it did me good to
see her eyes sparkle with delight
as she tried it ou. 'Aud I thought
she was the prettiest little girl iu
the world.
‘“She has been working hard the
past year and picked up |6, which
■he has been carefully hoarding for
all this time. I had promised her
that the day ehe got the new dress
Bhe could wear it to town aud
spend her money as she pleased.
Never had she done anything like
this, and, like all of her sex, I sup
pose, Bhe could conceive of little
more , happiness than wearing a
new dress shopping.
Wednesday night she could
hardly go to bed for looking at the
dress. She could hardly sleep for
Joy, and it did my heart good to see
the happy anticipation of the dear
girl. I was happy for her, and en
joyed thlnklngof the delight she
was experiencing and would expe
rience to-day.
But this morning she has no
dress at all, and no home to shel
ter her. Her money gone too, and
instead of this being the happiest
day of her life, It is the most sor
rowful, and God knows, I hope she
will never experience suoh anoth-
