And all was well. [sil
Then came the night when |B1,

Gaming Ti
The story of "The Man who |
Broke The Bank At Monte
Carlo" has something of a
local parallel, except for the
fact that it was a lady who
broke the lone gaming table
of the town and sent it into
seclusion.
For almost a week the
men of Southport had almost
a complete monopoly on the
table, center of attraction in
one of Southport's busiest
stores. Nickels poured in an
endless chain into the moneycatcher
beneath the board as
one after another the men
tried this "game of skill."
Sometimes there was a tie, j
on rare occasions the players
managed to pile up a small
lead. But always in the end
the victory went to the rolling
balls and the little brass
pins.

following insti actions for transI
planting dogwood trees have been
; prepared:
The dogwood tree, being a
comparatively shadow rooted
[tree, requires the best care, particularly
in planting.
Holes 18 inches to two feet In
diameter and 12 to 18 inches
deep should be dug. In very poor
soil, or hard clay, the holes
should be larger. Several shovelfuls
of decomposed compost or
leaf mould should be put in the
hole and thoroughly mixed with
the soil remaining in the bottom
of the hole. Do not put fresh manure
in the hole, as well rotted
compost, leaf mould and cotton
seed meal, well mixed, is safer
and surer.
