If Ash Wednesday is a bright fair day there will be a good wheat crop, but if that day is rainy the wheat crop will be short. We take pleasure in calling attention to the statement of the Bank of Pittsboro, published in another column. It shows the good management of its officers and that it is entitled to the full confidence of the public. Instead of hiding your money away in an old stocking, where it is liable to be lost and is doing nobody any good, you had better deposit it in the bank, where it will not only be perfectly safe but will be drawing-you four per cent inter-, est.

A queer character was a man 1 met once while in Kinsley, Kan, Where he came from I didn't find out, nor yet where he was bound. Prom his grips and general appear ance I guessed him to be a commer cial traveler. Doubtless he was.' When I first saw him he was buy ing a book in a Kinsley storeone of the late novels, neatly and at tractively bound in cloth, and he paid for it $1.25. His course aa he left the store with his purchase was what nailed my attention. He had the book in his hands unwrapped, having waived the parceling of the same as unnec essary. He halted at the door, bent both covers back and coolly ripped them off and tossed them into the street. Then he "cut" the volume as one might a deck of cards, about the middle, bent the two halves back till they met and then ripped them apart as coolly as he had torn off the cover. I was naturally astonished. Who was this man? Was he some ex purgator? Was the book a menace to morals ? I took a quick glance at the discarded covers. It was one of the best of the recently issued fic tion. My man tucked the first half of his book into the side pocket of his coat. The other half he thrust into the smaller of his two grips. And then both of ifi headed for the train. We rode together as far as Hutchinson. I purposely selected a seat near him. He raised a win dow and settled himself comforta bly and pulled the half book from his pocket. He tore off the first page, laid the rest of the volume be side him on the seat and read the single leaf. From the way his eyes moved 1 saw he was a "skimmer In no time he had finished page 1. I knew that, for he turned the leal And when page 2 was read I knew that, too, for he quietly crumpled up the leaf and tossed it out of the car window. And then he tore off the next leaf. And in due tima.it went the same route. And so it went on. All the way from Kins ley to Hutchinson he left a trail oi crumpled leaves. When he had fin ished the book the book wag fini&V d too Kansas City Star. GREAT COST SALE! ."""" We. Offer Our Entire Stock Of Pry Goods, Notions,.
