actly 50 marriage licenses.
—January 1 (tomorrow) is Eman

other exercises, spreading a free

—Mr. S. J. Hadley of the South
ern part of the county was here
Monday returning from a visit to
his wife, who is at St. Leo's Hos
pital, Greensboro, where she under
went) an operation for tumor a few
days before. She is reported do
ing well.
—Messrs John M. Crawford & Son
have opened a large stock of gen
eral merchandise in what is known
as the "Oneida Store" lately oc
cupied by M. R. Rives & Bro.,
where they will do business until
the new store in the O. J. Paris
building is fished.
—Mr. Bettie J. Hill, wife of Mr.
W. I. Hill died Sunday, night at
her home hear Long's Chapel,
where the interment took place
Monday afternoon. Mrs. Hill was
63 years of age and was a 'sister
of Mr. J. B. Patton. She is surviv
ed by her husband and a large
number of relatives.
—Owing to the torn up condition
of the streets of the town, on ac
count 1 of the street work going on
(rather standing, lately), it has been
almost impossible for people to get
in or out of Graham. We are in
formed that the contractor is sub
ject to a forfeit of $lO per day
for each day after January Ist that
the work remains unfinished. Un
less prospects improve and were
the terms enforced the forfeiture
would make quite a hole in the
contract price.
—The Christmas weather of 1914
will long be remembered. Two
days before it promised to be fair
weather, but again the day before
Christmas it began to rain and
rained the greater part of the
night. It rained almost all day
Chrismas day. In the afternoon
there was a little hail and snow
folllowed by sleet. Friday night
it turned cold rapidly and grew
colder until Sunday, when the ther
mometer hoverea down around
zero—the coldest in many a day
in these parts. And Just to keep
up it he record it rained again Mon
day.
The National Gives Out Handsome
Calendars.
Yesterday the National Bank of
Alamance was busy delivering and
mailing very handsome calendars

designs are exceedingly attractive.
They will ornament many homes
and offices and will be a daily re
minder that The National Bank of
Alamance is a gopd bank with

King and Lon G. Turner, The
Gleaner mechanical force, to be his

memory; of which will ever remain
an oasis in their lives.
It Grows—The Christmas Savings
Onto
The Citizens Bank made a
decided hit when it conceived the
idea of inaugurating a Christmas
Savings Club. The number of
members ia limited to 300, and
grows daily. Already 219 mem
bers have joined, it no more
ahould loin and all who have done
so ahould keep up their payments,
the savings would amount to (7,000
next December. That amount of
money turned loose a few days
before Christmas would put big
life in business. Everyone should
encourage the saving for everyone
will be Benefitted. If jh>u have not
joined, join at once, and you will
have some ready cash when next
Chrismas comes.

It is generally agreed that Noah's
ark measured about 450 feet, in
length, seventy-five feet in breadth
and forty-five feet in depth. It is
interesting to note that the propor
tions of these dimensions are prac
tically the same as those of the great
modern ocean, liners
TheQreekH and Romans construct
ed several large vessels measuring
upward of 500 feet. These were
[ built, for the emperors or rulers and
I were little more than enormous scows,
1 without any means of propulsion.
" Upon these were erected elaborate
cabin accommodations and even
gardens were planted A Kom bo
bath was installed on one of these
'» boats. *
r A vessel 420 feet in length wae
j built by Ptolemy which wag pro
>, pelled by 500 rowers, arranged in
• five banks, using oars fifty-seven feel
J in length. The boat is recorded to
r have developed considerable speed,
t The fame of the Thaltnaegus still
lives. This boa', which measured
300 feet in length, forty fact in
breadth and sixty feet in depth, was
said to have been the most beautiful
! craft in antiquity and was uaed ex
' clusively by the'emperor.
A king of Syracuse is also credited
with having built a very palatial
boat, whose cabins were bung with
> costly silks and decorated with rare
statues. After the decline of the
Roman empire no great ships Mere
constructed for more than I,'KXI

The biggest modern ship, the
Vaterland, measures 050 feet, thus
approximately fulfilling the tradi
tion that ships would come to bl

DONT WALK ON THE TRACKS.
Only a few years ago railroad
tracks in all parts of the country
were used as convenient highways
for pedestrians as short cuts to
"the depot," the mill, the store, or
the homes of relatives and friends.
That the tracks were not even then
used In safety, hundreds of trage
dies have testified, but the danger
to-day is increased tenfold. It is
now a wise man or woman who
fights shy of the use of the rail
road in any other capacity than
its original one. Double and .|uad
rupled tracks, more fretjuent afld
swift trains whose speed makes it
unsafe to even stand by the side of
the tracks when they go by, have
steadily intensified the danger.
Grade crossings have been sup
planted by bridges, ties have been
raised from the ground
between with ballast of rough
crushed stone, everything possible
has been done to discourage walk
ing on the tracks and still the kill
ing of trespassers on the rail are
annually far in excess fit the num
ber killed in train accident*.
Now comes a climax of dan
ger, whose warning must be heed
exd or there will be a serious In
crease In train accidents. The
electrified railroad, as the author
ities give warning,, is a good place
to keep awav from. It cannot be
safe for pedestrians. Current three
times strong enough to kill a man
passes constantly over it. Its
