The people of Biscoe are rejoicing over the an nouncement made in the Meth odist church at service Sunday week by the pastor tothe effect that the Page family will in the near future erect expensive and commodious church buildings here and .'at Aberdeen. The buildirgs will be erected in com memoration of Mr. Frank Page Roboteau Page, father and mother of the Page family who reside here, at Aberdeen and elsewhere. The sum of $15,000.00 has 'already been donated by the Pages and it is likely that the . two congre gations will donate $5,000 00 each, which will be used in erect ing church buildings at each place that will cost $10,000. The members of the Page family are: Walter H. Page of Garden City, N. Y., Mrs. Thomas B. Wilder of Louisburg, Henry A. and Misses Mary and Emma Page of Aberdeen, and Hon. R. N. Page and Messrs. J. R. and Frank Page of Biscoe. The bank, stock for which has been subscribed for several weeks, will open its doors here some time soon. The prospects for the success of a bank at this point has been looked on as being bright for several years and the move recently set on foot for sub -scribing of stock for the institu- tion was readily met with ap proval by not only a number of Biscoe people, but others as well. Mr. John K. Wood, who has been connected in the rail road offices here for some time will be cashier of the new ; bank, It will be learned with regret that the auditing department of the R., C. & S.

So impressed was she " witn tnis success tnat sne in duced the American Red Cross . to take up the sale in 1908 on a national basis. With very little organization and with hardly any attempt at careful advertising, the sale that year brought in, nevertheless, over . $135,000 for anti-tuberculosis work in various parts of the United States. In 1909, with more thorough organ ization, the sale was increased to -$230,000, and in 1910 to nearly $310,000. Last year the sale in creased to over $3,330,000, or 33, 000,000 seals. While our own Red Cross Seal dates back only four years, "charity stamps", from which this idea originally ..sprung, go back to 1862, when "sanitary lair stamps" were nrst used in Boston to secure money for the care of soldiers wounded during the Civil War. Nearly $1,000,000 was raised in this way during the years 1862 to 1865. After the war this method of raising money was discontinued, in this country for -a generation, al- : though it found vogue in Portu gal, Switzerland, Austria, France Spain, Denmark. Norway, Rus-. who sia. Sweden and other European gold countries. There are now hun- dreds of different types of char ity stamps used in all parts- of : the worldas many as forty be-, ing used in Austria for childreu's -hospitals alone.
