.1 THE PINEHURST OUTLOOK mMssmm the pride of impressing those from out side. It is to emphasize to our own peo ple the fruits -which gather to any con sistent and determined effort for the pub lic good, and to give the lie to the old addage that a prophet is not without honor save in his own country. We have a number. We honor them. We are also willing to lend them .to the State or the Nation upon demand. 9Iufc And this is the way it is ordained that the Carolina Orchestra and the Colored Harmony Brothers shall appear, and rejoice the souls of men, and make jubilant their feet: Monday Wednesday Friday Caro lina Orchestra in Ball Room, 8.30 to 10.30. Colored Band at the Carolina Theatre, ac companying the swift moving drama. Tuesday Thursday Carolina Orches tra will render a concert in the parlor of the hotel, while the irrepressible drum beats out the fox trot in the dance hall from 8.30 to 10.30. Saturday The Carolina Orchestra will lead the dancing at the Carolina until 11 o'clock. Meanwhile the Pinehurst Rag time Band will be at the Holly Inn. Sunday The usual Sunday evening con cert will be given at the Carolina Hotel shortly after dinner. Annual Meeting- of th IBank of Piiivhurat The annual meeting of the stockholders of the Bank of Pinehurst was held in the banking house on Tuesday of last week and was well attended. The reports of the president and cash ier showed the institution to be in a thriv ing condition, and the results of the past year's business surpass the expectations of the most optimistic. The bank was opened on the 4th day of November, 1914, so all the figures apply to the period from that date to January 11th, 1916, the date of the last meeting, a little over fourteen months. But as no financial institution can get fairly started inside of two months, it is only reasonable to assume that the achievements of the past four teen months can, and will be equalled, or even excelled, in the year to come. The president reported that the net earnings with all taxes and expenses paid were $1,335.30, a little over 11 per cent on the capital invested. When the bank was organized the incorporators deemed it wise not to provide for a paid in sur plus, preferring to build up the surplus out of the earnings, and at this meeting the stockholders took the same view, vot ing to request the directors not to declare a dividend at this time but to allow the earnings to remain in the treasury as undivided profits. As this is written the deposits are, in round numbers, $75,000.00 and the loans $58,000.00. There are over three hundred depositors, and no deposit exceeds $3,000. All of which proves conclusively that a bank was, and is, needed in Pinehurst and that there is ample business here to sup port it. In fact the volume of business has exceeded the expectations of the most sanguine. The loans have all been placed locally, and have played no small part in the wonderful progress that has recently been made in the development of Pine hurst and the neighboring section. The following gentlemen were elected directors for the ensuing year: George T. Dunlap, C. B. Hudson, M. C. McDon ald, J. R. McQueen, A. S. Newcomb, T. L. Redfield, I. C. Sledge, S. J. Stutts, J. B. Von Canon, P. W. Whittemore. All these gentlemen are residents of Pine hurst except Messrs. McDonald and Von Canon, who live at West End, and are widely known and highly esteemed throughout Moore County. Immediately following the meeting of the stockholders the directors met and elected the following officers: President, J. R. McQueen, Vice-President, C. B. Hudson; Secretary, A. S. Newcomb j Cashier, F. W. Von Canon. Appropriate resolutions on the occasion of the death of Mr. W. L. Hurd, the former Vice-President, were passed and the meeting then adjourned. Ilailing- (wrant'ltice Grantland Rice won the championship in the Advertising Golf Tournament at Pinehurst, his gross score for 72 holes being 337. 'Twas last September, I remember, Out at the Country Club I took a slant At Golfing Grant And said: "That guy's no dub. The writing game Has brought him fame, His verses get him pay, But he's a force On any course, That guy knowns how to play ! ' ' He's spread the fame Of many a name On the diamond, links and court. The tales he's told Of heroes bold In every branch of sport. And so that day I watched him play And saw his nerve and vim, I said: "Sometime I'll spill a rhyme Exclusively for him." Where, free from cares, Gay millionaires Turn Winter into June, Upon the green Grant Rice has been A marvel with the spoon. He's shown 'em class With iron and brass, An' taught 'em how to pitch; He 's grabbed a cup (The clever pup) And grabbed it from the rich. Upon his bean The laurels green Of victory now lies, And of the champ He wears the stamp, Back home he brings the prize. He trimmed for fair Each millionaire And left him cold as ice, So here's the rhyme I vowed sometime I'd spill for Grantland Rice! Edgar A. Guest in Detroit Free Press. Cartridges Shoot Straight and Hit Hard These two cardinal points of a good cartridge, and also that of reliability, are always found in Win chester ammunition. No matter what caliber cart ridges you want or whether they are for use in a rifle, revolver or pistol you will get the best results by using Winchester make. They are sold everywhere.
