?It always gives us pleasure
to note the success of Johustou j
county boys who have cast
their lots in other sections. Only
a few years since one of our
bright young men, after complet
ing a law course at the State
University, moved to a thriving
town in the western part of the
State where he has met with suc
cess on every hand. We refer to i
Mr. Z. V. Turlington, brother of j
our townsman, Mr. Ira T. Tur-j
lington. Since locating at
Mooresville he has identified him
self with the business interests of
the town and a few days ago he
was chosen one of the directors
of the Mooresville Loan and
Trust Co. As is already known
he ably represented his count?
in the House in the last General
Assembly. Not only has he
taken a high stand as a lawyer,
business man and legislator, but
he has taken an active interest
in church work, and was a few
days ago elected superintendent
of the Mooresville Presbyterian
Sunday School. It is only an
other evidence of the fact that
Johnston county boys are tak
ing high stands every where they
go.

If Put a Bull Behind the Bars \
I We call especial attention to the hinge joint at each intersection ?
| of stay with main bars.
' This is the essential of every good wire fence. Unless the stay a
has a hinge joint the fence cannot receive pressure from contact ?
and right itself. All rigid stay fences have been unsatisfactory and ?
disappointing, as they crush down and when once down, remain so. K
AMERICAN FENCE}
Is made with a hinge joint, by which the maximum of elasticity is E
secured and the fence if properly stretched, remains in place indefi- m
nitely. With the hinge joint, no amount of strain on the bars can M
effect the connection of stay and bar, while the opposite is true of E
i all rigid stay fences. M
