a visitor to Loulsburg Monday and re
ported fulte a heavy hail storm-in his

It ,1s made easy.

are interested they are sure to hand

?Any. business is more respectable

Fighting Fake Advertising.
Qastgnia in its fight on fake adver
tising schemes is setting a pav e for
the whole State. It ig remarkable
how little resistance some business
men can offer to a smooth solicitor.
The varl&us plans that these solicitors
oiler are rarely if ever worth any
thing as an advertising proppsition.
Even if they were, the solicitor is a
transient and little of his profits are'
left In the community, whereas in the
case of the standard form of advertis
ing, the newspaper, the money is left
in the local channels of trade{; The
mere fact that Gastonla has called at
tention to thls advertisiiig error so of
ten made will save the' merchants of
the State hundreds or dollars.?News

, Telephone Alarms Unreliable.
? Often this excuse is offered for not
having a lrealann system: "Oilr
town is full of telephones, which give
us all the alarm facilities we need.'
But of what use are telephones In
simultaneously and instantly arousing
an entire town? Late at night It Is
likely to be quite impossible to get ac
cess to any telephone without serious
delay, and after a telephone has been
reached; to whom will the telephone
call be sept- There is also the con
stant-danger of misunderstanding tele
phone messages, especially whqp sen
der and receiver both ar&ucdted by
the danger of Are. f | ~
The most that can be said for the
telephone as a' fire-alarm medum Is
tt)at often It has been bettgr t hair noth
ing. It 4b tnferrlor t&astandard fire

An Obituary.
The death angel visited t(je Jiowe
of Mr. ud Mre. Butcher Burnett? ou
the 2Sr<l. and took from them their
dear >aby'girl. She bore all pain and
y*tderiac patiently until that jnflnlte
power saw fit to take her Intt^ that'
world beyond where pain and sorrow,
cornea no more. We cannot see why
such a beautiful and promlsingflower
should be pltfckcxjfrom this world, but
she was needed to bloom on that
celestial shore.
Weep not dear parents for she wa
transplanted by Him, who doeth all
things veil apd says "Suffer little
children to come unto me for such is
the Kingdom of lieaveu."

circumstances. .
"Yes, but X spent it.'.'

; in Kansas City. .
In Kansas City they love to tell
certain wealthy meat-packer, who
pever loses an opportunity to Impress
upon visitors to his house the great
extent of his riches.
He. was showing a caller from (Jie
East through his palatial mansion on
one occasion t when they stopped be
fore a handsome plateglass mirror, of
massive size, above the fire place in
the drawiilg-room.
"See that mirror?" asked the packer.
"It cost me just ten thousand dollars."
"Heavens!'1, exclaimed the .visitor,
duly impressed. Then, after a care
ful examination of the article^ he ad
ded, "But what a pity It 8 scratched!"
"Ye8,"_ sad the packer carelessly.
Then, turning to hia wlfi, he said:
ded, "BOt -what a pity It is scratched!"
children have any more diamonds to
play with."
