visitor to town several days ago
was Hen Richardson, ' (when the j
reader has learned of his fowl ten- |
uencies he will agree that Richard
son ought to be called “Hen.”) He !

Herald representative that he has

1 t ve , | ozen eggs daily and have

The citizens of Alamance county,
we are informed, are doing a fine
thing for Elon College, whose Admin- |
istratioir building was destroyed by
fire on Jan. 18, by undertaking to
raise SIOO,OOO to aid the college in re
building. C. B. Riddle is the secretary
of a committee to whom any donations
may be sent, addressed to Burlington,
N. C. ,
The editor attended the public sale
of C. W. Flack.in Bonlee last Sat
urday, and the only thing that w r e
were interested in was a Ford to be
sold, and that article was the only
thing that brought full value. Live
stock worth two to three hundred dol
lars were “knocked down” at s3l.
to $63. per head. Other things Mr.
Flack put up were sold at a great
sacrifice.
Congressman Edward W. Pou has
asked us to state that he is making
preparations to distribute his allot

The stockholders of the Chatham
Bank met in their annual meeting in
the city hall on January 16th, at ten
o’Hock. This was an especially inter
esting meeting in that it marked the
twenty-first anniversary of this splen
did financial institution. The stock
holders were pleased with the report
made by the management of the bank,
which showed a substantial dividend
paid and a balance carried to the sur
plus fund. The following officers were
elected: J. C. Gregson, president; W.
A. Teague, vice-president; J. J. Jen
kins, cashier; J. C. Gregson, W. A.
Teague. L. L. Wrenn, Junius Wren,
W. R. Fox, directors. After the busi- ’
ness ssesion, a sumptuous dinner was
served the officials and those attend
ing. A remarkable coincident in con- !
nection with the career of the Chat
ham Bank is the number of marriages
that have occurred among its various !
employees, these taking place either
during their stay with the Bank or
soon after leaving its employ. Alto- !
gether there have been twelve men ■
and women who have left the single '
state to become benedicts. Yes, a
round dozen of ’em, and although 1
Cashier Jenkins did not authorize the !
statement, we are of the honest opin- <
ion that he is superstitious and fears '
the ill luck that the thirteenth wed- !
ding might bring. Thos breaking
ranks and included in the list Mr. ;
Jenkins referred to as his matrimon- !
ial bureau are: Misses Clara Lambe, 1
Berta Jordan, Nyan Edna Hadley, H
Louise Headen and Minerva Jenkins,
and Messrs Floyd Womble, J. Speight 1
