KISER'SFORTUNE; It Was Comfortable, But Might Have Been a Good Deal Larger. I DANGER OF HOARDING I One Risks Many Chances When j | he Keeps Money Hidden | Away in the Home. Mr. Henry Kiser, who died a few days since at his home in j Yadkin township near King, was J a wealthy man, though his; property was not all in his own ' right. The land is worth from ! $50,000 to $75,000, but Mr. Kiser ■ held only a life interest in it. He | could not dispose of it. It goes jto the heirs, seven in number. | There was about $7,000 in cash I and bank certificates of deposit. 1 The cash, about 500. was kept jin the p?id consisted of I currency, gnM and silver, and a ; great many pieces of foreign money, probably handed down for many generations. It is evident that Mr. Kiser lost a good deal more than the princi-1 pal of his cash, by letting it lie' idle. It only takes about 16 2-3 years for interest to get as big; as the principal, and doubtless! Mr. Kiser had kept much of this j money in his closet a good deal: more than 16 years and 8 months, j He was a hardworking, honest, j debt-paying citizen, and had his 1 j own peculiar ideas about business; and economy. Stokes and other counties have I many good citizens who hoard i sums of cash, taking the risk of ( losing the money from fire and . thieves. The ,passing of the J years means great loss to them j ;in interest. A good bank is the j place to put money. It is a very ( rare thing that any person has 1 lost any money in a bank, but it, !is a mighty common thing for people to lose their savings in bad investments, or to lose | thousands of dollars in interest which their savings would have earned if kept in a good bank, I l where it would be safe from fire, , thieves and even safe from, i i I oneself, for if 'you have your j money in a certificate of deposit, j which is drawing interest all the i time you are mighty apt to not bother it, but to constantly add j to it. | Oak Grove News. ! Oak Grove, June 16.—The j | farmers of this section are very j busy taking care of their wheat crop. The cool weather last week J stopped the growth of corn and . j tobacco. The Russelite preacher gave j a lecture at Mt. Mive school I I house a few days ago. We learn that Rev. P. Oliver | {is seriously ill at this writing. Miss Millie Lambword, an ag6d lady, is seriously ill. There will be a big ice cream supper at C. H. Boyles' store Saturday, June 21, at 4 o'clock p. m. by S- K. Anderson. Let everybody come out and enjoy a g6od time. , SCRIBBLER. WELCOME SIC GREEK The Western Stokes Cor- 1 poration Extending Tele- j I phone Line to Walnut i Cove From Danbury. j SWITCHBOARD HERE | Will Be a Great Convenience to 1 the People lf Big Creek Gives Big Service they Will Do Big Biz. Mr. R. L. Nunn, the President of the Big Creek Telephone Company, with a corps of assist ants, is here this week putting in the direct telephone line from Danbury to Walnut Cove. Mr. Henry Wright, one of the com pany's men, is giving a good deal of his time to overhauling the [ Danbury telephones, and install-1 inga switchboard here, which, will be stationed in the home of j Mr. L. J. Young, and will be at tended to by Mrs. Carrie Coving ton. This will be a great con venience to our people, aqd should afford the best of service, j The Big Creek concern has the i ! reputation of giving good service, j and the Reporter trusts it will j sustain this reputation, as we ; have been long sufferers with a j bad telephone system. Many ' people who formerly had phones j became so disgusted with the I service that they had the wires 1 taken out, and the line discon- I tinued. Hundreds of Stokes I people will take phones, and piy j good cash for them, if assured j | that they can depend on getting j a message through in good shape ' and on time. With a direct line to Walnut i Cove the efficiency of the Big I Creek system should be greatly enhanced. There one can con -1 nect with the direct Bell line into ! Winston, and on to the long dis i tance. Give good service, gentlemen, and you will get the business. i Death of Mr. McD. Boyd. 1 News is received here of the 1 death of Mr. McD. Boyd, a lead ! ing citizen of Pinnacle, which i occurred a few days ago at his home. Mr. Boyd had been in 1 declining health for several j years, and during the last few j months had been confined to his : home and bed. He was a yood j citizen, and will be greatly j missed in Pinnacle and surround j ing section. j There is a good deal of kicking: I by the public over the lateness of the mails which reach this place from Walnut Cove. The Reporter is asked to inquire | where the fault is, and who is i responsible. The roads are now !as good as they ever are at this I time of the year, and it seems j that most anyone could make the 1 trip on time. Cure (or Stomach Disorders.
