I Darnell & Thomas I “Our Reputation Is Your Insurance.” U 8 FAYETTEVILLE ST. RALEIGH, N. C. | OBSERVATIONS. By Rambler. “According to an old saying, that wnen you hist hear a Katydid within ninety days after we will have frost," said an old observer of things yester day. ‘ The first one I heard was on “ le day of June. If there is any truth in the saying we are nearly due a frost. It looked like it Saturday morning at any rate.” W hat will our people do a few years from now when automobiles wnl be so thick that a person will hardly be able to stay on the side walk, let alone crossing the street. The things are geting to be too dan gerous now and a law prohibiting crazy people from driving cars will have to be made, or else manufactur ers will have to make them so they cannot be run over twelve miles an hour, was the comment of a citizen Saturday. • _^-l mos t anything draws a crowd in Pittsboro,” remarked one of our cit izens. “A man with a monkey here had the biggest crowd Saturday. But over m Lindley’s grocery store win dow was a jar of beans. At any other time those beans would not have been noticed, but a few days ago they were placed in the window for the people to guess at. When it became known people began to get around the win dow and watch those beans like they had never seen one before. People’s * curiosity is great” “That earthquake, tidal wave and fire they had over in Japan was some thing awful,” said a citizen. “The quake we had several years ago was nothing in comparison to the Japan squall, but let me tell you, I was a scared man. When I ran out of the house, fences and houses were pop ping, and an old negro woman was walking the street with a lamp in her hand, and she was exclaiming: ‘keep your lamps trimmed and burning,folks. Lend me some oil.’ And all over my ’ town you could hear negroes praying and singing. It was one terrible night with me.” | DES7ERVED REMUNERATION. Monroe Enquirer. Word comes out of Washington that > ministerial students and professional men in some parts of the country are taking up the hammer and trowel, > rather than continue their studies or I unremunerative ocupations. In some j trades it is now possible in the larger \ cities for a workman to earn from $75 to SIOO a week. When a “profes sor” can earn more than twice as ! much with his hands than by the i waggling of his chin, it is time for ] some pride-swallowing, and the don ning of overalls and the discarding of white col airs. Dearly beloved, in this world of sin ■ and sorrow, nearly every mother’s son of us receive remuneration com mensurate with our ability. A first >, class workman is entitled to better j pay than a mediocre professional man. A good preacher will command and l receive better pay than a poor work ! man. In this connection I am remind i ed of Lo, the Poor Indian. Lo, once attended preaching and ob i served that for a few minutes’ talk >’ the minister in the collection follow ] ing received several dollars. Believing that to be an easy way to make mon > ey the Indian started out to preach, j Meeting a cow boy one day out on the J plains, the following conversation took ✓ place * ] “Where you been, Lo?” “Me been preach.” “What! You preach? For why do j you preach?” i “Money.” J “How much you get?” Indian-like, Lo, stuck out his tongue j on which reposed two lone pennies. , “What!” said the cow boy, “is that ; all you got? I call that darn poor ] pay.” “Dam poor preach,” was honest : Lo’s reply. ONLY A SUGGESTION. > ... Wouldn’t it be a good idea if the j merchants on main street would fix up ■ the well on the old Headen property. There isn’t much to do but put in a chain and bucket and put a windlass ! on. The water is the best anywhere | around town for drinking purposes, 1 and in case of fire the well would be J convenient. This advice is only in the I way of a suggestion; you needn’e fix it up if you don’t want to. 1 BUILD A HOME IN PITTSBORO. I JJ-1 .'JM Jil—- !

It is estimated that i during the week there were more than 1,000 shocks, 700 of them plain ly felt, and some severe enough to bring the fear of fresh destruction. ADVERTISING DOES PAY WELL. Mr. W. A. Ellington ran a small ad in the want column of The Record a week or two ago, and he had more buyers than he could accommodate. He sold all he had in two days and folks keep coming to see him every day now to see if he has anything ■ more to sell. Mr. Ellington says he even sold a batch of broom straw that he had kept for several years to a lady who lives in the country where it grows. Recent reports that we have had from advertisers are to the effect that the ads have been very beneficial. Last week we made an error in a small ad. for The Hardware Store in ■ Siler City, on the price of clover seed and there were hundreds of people i that called there for seed. All goes to show that The Record is closely read by everyone. The folks of Chatham county have a reason to be proud of The Record. It is the largest weekly paper pub lished between Greensboro and Fay etteville, or betwen Raleigh and Char lotte. Os course advertising in it pays. ■ ■! - - ■— A BEAR AT LARGE IN CHATHAM. A week or so ago a man over in Moore county caught a monkey, after his dogs had run the animal up a tree. Now comes the news that a sure enough bear is roaming the woods and fields out near the old county home. A colored preacher tells the story about the wild animal and says he saw the varmint lying in the road; that the bear growled at him, but im mediately left that vicinity. Others say they have seen his bearship. Last Saturday morning several of the peo ! pie in the county home section got to ! gether and hunted for the animal, but 11 up to last accounts it is not known whether he was found or not.
