-Today is Ash Wednesday,
the beginning of Lent, and there
is a tradition among the old
Dutch farmers in the Piedmont
section of this State that the
weather on Ash Wednesday
piognosticates the wheat crop. 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-,

When The Record express

:his week because of the bad
'oads and bad weather which we
usually have ' at our February

we had missed it badly, for the
roads and weather were better
than ever known at this season.
We wonder what they think to
day about it? Yesterday was
a.bout the most disagreeable day
we have had here this winter, a
cold rain falling steadily, chill
ing and wetting everybody ex
posed to it, and making the
roads very muddy and miry.

FINISHED, THE BOOK.'""""
Whan th Reader Got Through Thr
Was Nothing Left.
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
