MARKETS 
Prices current at New York during week ending 
March 5, 1909, wholesale except where other¬ 
wise Indicated. The retail prices given do not, as 
a rule, cover either the highest or lowest sales, but 
show what the bulk of consumers of moderate 
means pay for small quantities of produce bought 
in Fulton, Washington,. Jefferson Markets, etc., 
and up-town grocery stores. “Retail” is rather 
an indefinite word, but in this column it means 
less than barrel or other original package lots of 
fruits and vegetables, less than tubs or bntter, 
cases of eggs, etc. The trade of commission mer¬ 
chants is strictly wholesale. The retail prices 
given are those secured by grocers and small deal¬ 
ers who receive no direct shipments.

“The alligator swallowed him.” “An’ 
did they kill the ’gator?” “No; they 
thought that swallerin’ him was punish¬ 
ment enough !”—Atlanta Constitution. 
The public will stand by a man who 
proves he is tipright and fearless.” 
“Yes,” answered Farmer - Comtossel. 
“You kin alius git peop'e to stand by 
and watch a man that’s tryin’ to do 
real work. The thing is to get ’em 
to turn in an’ help.”—Washington Star.

Why She Paid Promptly. 
Few of us are anxious to pay out 
money before it is due, but sometimes 
enthusiasm or gratitude make it easy 
to spend bard earned money. Such 
was evidently the case with Mrs. S. C. 
lionnette of Waitsfield, Vt., who in a 
letter of June 25,1908, wrote to Dodge & 
Zuill,224 Dillaye Bldg., Syracuse, N.Y., 
as follows: “Enclosed find money order 
for washer. I tried it last Tuesday and 
am more than pleased with it. After I 
got my washing done I was not tired, 
and before, I could hardly sit up in the 
afternoon. I would not let it go if I 
could not get another. If everyone was 
as well pleased as I am you would not 
have to wait 30 days for pay.” To 
understand her action in the matter 
you must know that the Syracuse 
“EASY” Washer is sold on 30-days 
trial, freight prepaid, without a cent 
of deposit. Mrs. Bonnette’s prompt 
payment was undoubtedly due to entire 
satisfaction.
