Charlotte Chronicle.
The home-comings pulled
North Carolina during the present
month, characterize this State as the
land of home-comer?. The idea was
born in Guilford county. The home
coming affairs indicate the love that
the "dispersed abroad" have for the
scenes of their childhood, for all of
them have been largely attended.
There is a good deal of tender senti
ment about these occasions. An apt
description is given by the Salisbury
Sun, 8peaking of the home-comings,
that paper says :
"We like to see a man who loves the
old home where he was born and
brought up. It may be poor, and far
below what he enjoys elsewhere, but
there is something commendable in a
man with a desire to revisit the socnes
of his childhood. The spring and the
oak that stands above it, the place
where the old wash-pot rested upon
three rocks, the bench where he used
to Bee some one beat his shirt, and
copperas breeches, till they were clean
and ready to put on Monday morning,
cught never to be quite forgotten. The
old cow lot where he once roped off
the calf while his mother milked the
cow, the old ash hopper, the grind
stone, and the spot where he once Bet
his snow bird traps, can never be en
tirely forgotten. It is only an enlarge
ment upon these primary thought i
that carry men back to their old coun
ties and to their homes. Those who
have gone away have a hankering for
the old home, and their coming is a
natural benefit to all "
And that is essentially the spirit of
the home-comingp, and it is this spirit
that has brought them into such in-
p ipularity. Every county cannot
have one, but the indications are that
the home comiug8 will be thick and
close together in the future.
Wanted A Servant.
Ldpplncott's.
Good servants are much in demand
in Washington as well as in other
cities. Mrs. R. had searched long and
vainly for a fairly good general servant,
a colored one, and at last in despair she
stopped an elderly colored woman who
looked as if she might have been one of
the ante-bellum house servants, and
therefore a reliable one, and made
known her wants.
"I want a girl who is trusty and a
good cook. I am willing to put out
most of our laundry work and to give
fair wages, but bo far I haven't been
able to engage one," said Mrs. R.
"Don't you know of some one whom I
can get?"
" 'Deed, no, lady, I don't," waa the
answer.
"Oh, dear," Bighed Mrs. R , "what
shall I do?"
"I dunno, fuh show, lady, less'n
you does as I has to hire a white wo
man." The woman who continually wears
an accordion-plaited face is the one
who is continually borrowing trouble.
Incendiary Friction.
An insurance adjuster was sent to a
Massachusetts town to adjust a lose on
a building that had been burned.
"How did the fire start?" asked a
friend who met him on his homeward
trip.
"I couldn't say certainly, and nobody
seemed able to tell," said the adjuster,
"but it struck me that it was the re
sult of friction."
"What do you mean by that ?" asked
hii friend.
"Well," Baid the insurance man,
"friction Bometimes comes from rub
bing a $10,000 policy on a $5,..H0
house."

a calamity. I talked with merchant

the banks are full of money and full of
business. All enterprises there are
moving ahead successfully. Let the

For the Season's Stove
and Range Business.
As many of you will remember, we enjoyed the most remarkable stove
and range selling last season ever heard of in Concord.
It seemed as though we sold either a range, heater or cook stove to
about everybodj- that possibly could use one.
And, as the stoves we sold were BUCK'S, the greatest line in the world
and as we have heard nothing but the most enthusiastic reports from all
users wh- should we not feel encouraged, roll up our sleeves, and go in to
sell even more of them this year?
Here is where we possibly have the advantage: We are sole agents for
the most honestly built and the most meritorious line of stoves and ranges
that have so far been produced. This is an admitted fact. Nobody ques
tions a range, a heater or a cook stove if it bears q BUCK'S trade mark.
BUCK'S have been built for close on to sixty Wears now (59V2 to bd
exact); and if they were not all and everything thaT is claimed for them the
Companv would not now be THE LARGEST EXCLUSIVE STOVE CON
CERN IN THIS COUNTRY.
Would they ?
Whenever you see the trade mark we show you here on A stove any
kind of a stove whether for your kitchen, your sitting room, your parlor
or your bed room- whether it be on a steel or cast range, a hard or soft
coal heatc, a cook stove of any kind no matter what the .stove may Ix?
always1 remember and never forget, this.
If It Has a Back's Trade Mark On It
You are absolutely the best and most honestly
built article of its kind it is possible to pro
duce at any price.

You have "stove insurance" when vou buv a BUCK'S and WE
this statement up just as quickly as the Buck's foundry does.
Now, the stove season is on, and we wouldlike for those of you who are
in need of ANY kind of a cooking or heating apparatus to come right in and
look at this wonderful line. We know that after the many exclusive fea
tures have been explained to you that you will be just as enthusiastic as
we are.
ABOUT TERMS on a Buck's. You know the reputation of this store.
You pay just as you can afford here and no more. That is a matter of
secondary importance. What we would like is to have you SEE this great
line of stoves and ranges. The complete show is on sample now, and you
will be pleased when you see it. Come as soon as you can.
