Pleasant. •Last Friday evening the Annn.il Jun ior-Senior Banquet was held at Mont Amocnn Seminary, the spacious halls, rooms and dining-hall lending them selves graciously to this form of en- ] tertainmeut.. The decorations were 1 simple but beautifully appropriate, streamers of pink and white (the Sen ior colors) being mingled with green ivy and other vines in ml white wild blossoms—green and white being the chosen colors of the Junior Class. In the music studio members of the Junior Classes of both institutions served punch and candies during the evening. ; The • amusements, up to • eleven O'clock, were quite unique and inter esting. and the whole program for the evening's entertainment was artistical ly set forth on souvenir hand-painted fans: this combined program was ful ly carried out up to the time uliotod for the lianquet. Tables were scatter ed in the large Assembly Hall on which games of Cubical Hearts were played: nnd prizes were liestowed on the winning couples in each contest. Dancing the old-time square dance was kindly permitted by the presidents of the institutions and was highly enjoy ed by all who pnrticliMited. At the last moment the musieinns and callers failed to put In their appearance; lmt Mr. R. 11. Harris ably performed the latter office while Miss Ethel Black welder and her auto-harp came nobly to the rescue as regards the necessary music. Jl'hen came the most important part of the progrnm—the lianquet. which wds indeed a gorgeous one and reflect ed much credit upon the culinary and nrtistic skill of the two Junior classes. It is useless to attempt to describe all that loaded the mnn.v joined tables, as it would lie nU easier matter 1o men tion what they did not have. The en tire menu was written out in French, and those who could not understand the names of the various dishes could and did learn all nliout them by means of the generous samples-provided for the happy bnnquetters. It was also n “feast of reason nnd a flow of soul,” as the many clever speeches nnd toasts testified, the toastmaster lieing Mr. John Kerns. It was in the "wee sma’ hours” when they dispersed to tlieir respective ‘jiola'r” homes, a thorough ly happy nnd excited erowd. The College Glee Club will give nn entertainment in the Auditorium Fri day night of this week, and we can promise in advnnce a time of rare en joyment for all who may attend.

Despite re/iented assertions around the stove in the general store, that winters are gradnnlly growing milder, or harder, ns the case may be. the United! States Weather Bureau de clares there is no evidence of n. pro gressive ehnnge of climate in one di rection or tlie other. The fact that the last two years have been unusually mild in most parts of the country has provoked many assertions that winters ore In coming warmer, bureau officials say. but records can be furnished to the contrary. Periods have occurred and will occur again, when for a few years the weather has seemed or will seem to be noticeably warmer or colli er than the average. AA’hile there are well-recognized alterations in climatic conditions, us of wet-and dry, hot and cold, little is known with regard to definite laws of sequence of weather conditions over extended periods.

Jr 4 ® 60 *!* I Cabarrus Savings Bank' MEMORIAL TO ANDREW JOHNSON, Tlie Little Tailor Shop at Greenville, Tenn* to Be Dedicated, May 30. Greenville. Tenn.. April 18.—Citi zens of Greenville hope to have the honor of welcoming President Hard ing or a member of his cabinet on May 30 next, when the little tnilor shop of Andrew Johnson, bought and restored through an appropriation by the Tennessee legislature, in to be dedicated as a permantnt memorial to the seventeenth President of the United States and the only tailor to reach‘that exalted place. The shop is a oue-story frame building about twenty feet In length and fifteen feet in with. Over the front door is still t > be seen a S’gn, “A. Johnson, Tailor.” It is not, now over, the, original sign used by him' when following his trnde, but a close imitation. The original sign was stolen early in. the civil war, and another ore nlaced there when John son returned at the c.ose of his term as Presiden also disappeared, and the one now there was placed over the door at the time when his funeral services took place. Even this is marred, and a. portion of the board an which it is painted has . been carv ed away. Nearly a century has pttssod since (he smooth-faced tailor lioy first ap peared on the streets of Greenville, demanding only an opjiortunity to work and to make by the labor of his hands-an hopest Jiving. Grecnvile it self was then only a hamlet with but three or four stores, two blacksmith shops and the quaint frontier houses built of logs. These were all that there was in addition, with the or eeption of church and schoolhouso, re form what was called a tovyri. On two sides the forest, unbroken, intruded almost to the doors of the dwellings, while on the other sides deep gaps in the forest gave room for fields of waving corn. The little shop which is to be pre served ns a memorial, filled -with relics of the President, was the first shop occupied by Johnson as a. tnilor. In a few years after locating in Greenville he selected a life partner in the person of Eliza McCordle, an excellent and respected woman who taught her husband, the future Presi dent. to read and write; The -back room was occupied as a home, while Hie husband discussed politics with his friends and plied his needle In the front room, which was the shop. In the course of time Johnson ac nuired title to the little lot on which the shop now stands, as well ns another lot almost directly across the street, on which was n small house, which was long since been torn away. This little house he" then occupied ns a home. There was no building on the lot where the tailor shop now stands, but the tailor shop which has so long marked the place, was standing a short distance down the street, and the owner proposed to self it to make room for another building. Johnson bought it. It was "hen thought a great acheivement to .roll it the dis tance of a ‘block and place it in posi tion without its being taken to pieces, but this was successfully accomplish ed and Andrew Johnson, -thought in humble quarters, became a real es tate owner. It was in the little tailor shop and in the litre home opposite that-the happiest days of his life were spent by the man who was to rise from village alderman annd member ot the legislature to be a representative in Congress, governor of the State, United States senutor. vice-president of the United States, and, by reason of the act of an assassin, was called in one of the most critical periods in history to fill the chief executive of fice of the nation.

Eat Prunes if You Wish to Grow Fat and Plump THIN MEN AND AVOMEN, DO YOU WANT TO GET FAT AND BE STRONG? \ The trouble with most -thin folks, who wish to gain weight, is that they insist on drugging their stomach or stuffing it witth greasy foods; rub bing on useless “flesh creams,” or fol lowing some foolish hpysical cultyre stunt, while the peal cause of thinness goes .untouched. ’ You cannot get. fat until yottr digestive tract properly as similates the food ‘you eat- Drink a glass of cold water four or five times a day and take the following preparation, known to reliable drug gists almost everywhere, which seem ingly embodies the missing elements needed by tlie digestive organs to help them convert food Into rich, fat-laden blood. This preparation is called Prunitone, nnd much remarkable tes timony is give.n as to its successful use.in flesh building. Prunitone tak en at meals to prepare fat, flesh and muscle building elements so that the blood can readily accept and carry thorn to the starved portion of the body. You can readily' picture the transformation that additional nnd previously lacking flesh-making ma terial should bring to your cheeks, fil ling out hollows about your neck and shoulders, and your taking on from 15 to 30 pounds of solid, healthy flesh. Prunitone os harmless, inexpensive, effl client. The Gibson Drug Store is selling quantities of it to its cus tomers daily, if you need a tonic try it at once. Caution: Prunitone is recommend-i ed only as n flesh builder nnd while excellent results in cases of nervous indigestion, etc., have been reported, I care 'should be taken about using it I unless a gain of weight is desired, j PRUNITONE LABORATORIES BOSTON MASS. . 1 1 THJ?
