Those of the force who accompanied him were Messrs. Calvin Helms aud Ar thur Spittle. Mr. Frank Broom, as h representative of the Monroe tele phone company, also accompanied the party. While looking over some old rotton tickets the other day, Mr. R. A. Morrow found ono made out to Mr. V. C. Red wine that nhow3 the tUnrtllne- difference that prevailed in prices then and now. The ticket was dated Nov. in, 1898, and the market whs paying only 5 cents a pound. Col. Redwine on this date told two bales', which weighed a total of 1055 pounds. Both bnlei brought him the small sum of $52.75, where as the same colton today at 25 cents a pound would have brought It 1 1 ti $263.75: a difference of $211. Vet twenty jears ago who would have thought the market would cut F'Hi capers as it has been doing of late? About two thirty last Friday morning Mr. J. II. Thomas of Oooi;e Creek woke up and found that fire had wiped out his barn and th ftock therein. Ho woke too late to rave anything and the building was then falling in. Three mules and a cow were burned to death in the barn and Borne chickens in a nearby shea. Three buggies and two wa gons were also lost. There was no insurance. Mr. Thomas lives near Benton's Cross Roads. He does not know how the fire started unless It was purposely set afire. His loss badly cripples him In the midst of the crop season. His good neighbors met yestreday and took steps to help him tide over the difficulty, especial ly the loss of the work stock. There are not many homes in Monroe, or anywhere else, that do not contain one of the latest editions of one of the big mail order houses' ratalouges. And thousands of dol lars, that could have been spent to more advantage right here with home merchants, have gone annually out of the community to fill the coffera of the out-of-town houses. One Mon roe citizen, however, informs The Journal that he is cured of the mail order mania. He "ordered on" for an Jce box without first looking over his local hardware dealer's stock. The ice box gave perfect satisfaction: there wasn't anything wrong except the price, as the gentleman soon learned on looking over his hard ware dealer's line. He discovered that he could have bought the same identical Ice box here 'i his home town from a home man for fifty cents less than he paid the Chicago mail order man. The next time, if you are in the habit of patronizing the mail order man, give your local denl fr a chance first. He can probably save you money regardless rf other inducements. Some are inclined to forget at times that the local mer chant pays taxes, and is a general booster citizen. the chairman, Mn. W. A. Li:iu to morrow at 5 o'clock, to devise plan? t b gin work at once. To the surprise of the congrega tion Rev. Mr. Wray began a protract td meeting in the First Baptist church Sunday. It seemed to be ot a (spontaneous nature, no previous preparation having been made Twelve persons presented themselves for baptism Sunday. Services will be held each evening during the week at eight o'clock. Last night Mr. Wray spoke on personal work. Tonight his subject will be, "The Jericho Road." Thirty men between the ages of eighteen and forty have signed up as members of the Bickett Battery of field artillery which Is to be raised in inion and Anson counties. Seventy more mu. t join Ironi t na county to make the number compl te. O' neral Young i.nd oilier military officers will be here Saturlay and a big rally will bo held nt three o'clock. .Yr.

He made u very attractive proposition; accepted the first payi.ient of $3.50, and pawn ed on to the next town. The receipts read: "Keceited of so and so three dollars and fifty cents. If your policy is not delivered within ten days, noti fy the home office." When the ones who bit commenced to looking for the address of the home, after the ten days had elapsed without having received their policies, they found that it could not be found. Some of those who bit eay they are cured. Experience is a great teacher. When Dr. McNutt delivered his highly instructive lecture on foods at the Monroe Chautauqua, many Monroe people asked him for a copy of it. He did not then have it print ed but promised to send The Journal a copy for publication. He has kent his promise and The Journal is pleased to give it to its readers to day. It is worth careful reading and preservation. The principles of food and health are coming so rapidly to tne front now and students of the subject are giving, so much valuable Information that there is no longer need for people to be Ignorant on the subject. Most people can be healthy and strong If they are willing to take the troublo to find out how to be and then follow the principles they have learned. But that is the only way. i ou can t buy health in a bottle. Mr. Parker nt the Hanker' YClltioil. The .Journal has it straight that one of the most notable and remark able speeches made at the bankers' convention at Wiightville last week was made by Mr. J. J. Parker ot Monroe. The Journal knows it be cause a Journal man was thereabouts. Mr. Parker was put up just about the time the social festivities were on tap, the most difficult time of all for a man to make a serious speech. Af ter he had begun speaking two ad ditional car loads of people came townsling in the hall at once, mak ing a great hubub. But Mr. Parker, though speaking on a very serious subject, not only caught the attention of the crowd, but held it so strong ly that he went back over the first part or the speech and rehearsed it for their benefit mid then went on from the place where they had entered. It was done in a masterly way and was so i-triking that It was the wonder and comment or all. He was deal ing largely with the ethics thai should govern banks in their relation to the public, and spoke so entertain ingly that he not only held the bank ers but the whole audience, u thing that any ono nt all familiar with public speaking in these days know is a very hard thing to do.

Th calf was a little un.!r sii for liU m.ee af:o anj jfr Austin got him cheap !for two hundred dollars. One day .last week the manager of the New York farm came to Monroe and tried to trade Mr. Austin out of the animal. He offered another just as good and a heifer calf to boot. Then he offered a hundred dollars, the calf and another bull. Mr. Austin kept j telling him that he was Just suited and didn't want to get rid of his animal, and finally the manager of the farm who made the trip all the way here for that purpose, offered Mr. Austin five hundred dollars, but it was no trade.

' Hoar what the "Junior Observer in the Charlotte Sunday Observer has to say about moving picture shows: "When I go I find it intensely in teresting, restful aud many times I get useful information. For Instance, the weekly news features run in some theaters is worth the price of admission many times over, In my judgment. If they are valuable to me, a middle-aged man, how much more valuable must they be to the youth? It is a fine way to take re creation. The man or woman who has been cooped up in an office or engaged In home work all day, enjoys seeing a good drama, or a comedy, or the nnvs features of which I have just sponken, and it rests them, mak ing them think of things other than their own affairs. It's educational, oftentimes many schools now making use of the picture machine to carry the thought." Aside from the splendid pictures nowlng nt the Bru-Nel this week, Ifstivo, the gift"d accordionist, will api.ear twice in the afternoon and twice at nigi t. The audience was captivated by his wonderful playing yesterday afternoon and night and showed their appr?ciation by heartily encoring each number. He will play your favorite piece by request.

At Holloway's Music House. Hospital Fund Growing. The total returns from the various teams who have had charge of the work of raising funds for the Ellen Fitzgerald Hospital show that a lit tle over $10,000 has been pledged by the citizens of Monroe, Waxhaw, Wingate and Marshville for the erec tion of the building. Those in charge of the work feel highly elated over the amount Pledg ed, but realize that It will take some additional contributions to equip the Duumng and for this reason have de cided to keep the good work up until approximately $12,000 is Bccured, amount will be sufficient to build and equip the brick annex to the present building. Since last Friday's edition of The Journal, the following pledges have been received: J. B. McCary F. gineering Co., Atlanta, $100, Mr. Shi $1, L. W. Collins $1, Mrs. Lura Evans $2, L. D.

A committee of representative citi zens will go before the county com missioners at their nr-' meeting, July 1st, and Impress upon them the importance of the county appropriat ing $1,000 toward the new hospital. There no doubt will be quite a num ber of charity patients from the county and the concensus of opinion is mat tne commissioners would be making a move In the right direction if they will appropriate the amount asked for.
