What time the clock would stop was a question of absorbing in terest at the store of Jno. T. Biggs & Co. yesterday afternoon. In fact, it has been an interest ing question for some days, for this enterprising firm has inaugu rated the custom of giving out tickets to purchasers of gootls to the amount of $1 or more, and each ticket registers some time of day. A'clock that stands in the store window is wound up to stop Wednesday afternoon of each week, and the one present when the clock is opened and holding the ticket with the time nearest to the actual time of the stopp ing of the clock will receive a money prize, as will also the one holding the second nearest. Yes terday afternoon the clock stopp ed at 5 minutes and 42 seconds after 4 o'clock. Mr. G. M. Whit field registered the time and ex amined the tickets ot those pres entand the store was crowded and it was found that Tony Rogers, colored, held the nearest ticket and he received $2 cash. John Clark of Back Swamp held the next nearest number and re ceived $1. It was an interesting occasion and the store will no doubt be crowded aain when the clock 1 is opened next Wednesday.
