"A Shame if They Do
The Greensboro Record
I of ye.e
day says:
Attbis distance from the fray it
looks like Raleigh's new board of al
dermen is going to defeat Charley
Heartt for chief of police. We of
course can't tell from here, but if
they do it will be a burning smamc
one of which they will repent be
fore the year is out
Greensboro tried this same thing
once, and will never forget her ex
perience. Men are not made to or
der for a place like this they are
born for the work and when you
get a man suited for it, keep him.
A Cereal Cycle.
The Durham Sun of yesterday
says: A beautiful Ferris wheel, made
of corn, oats and rye, was Thursday
afternoon loaded on a flat car and
shipped to Charlotte for exhibition
at the Woman's Exposition, It be
longed to the Occoneecho farm, and
was indeed an artistic thing, and
will show off the products of the
farm to good advantage. The wheel
was boxed up in a frame so that it
could not be injured in any way and
then covered over with thick canvas
to keep from getting wet in trans
portation.

! ECONOMY
May be necessary in many ways
when dollars are scarce and wants
many, but it Is not desirable to practice
it In the purchase of food, which is
life. Below a certain standard food
imperfectly nourishes; up to that stand
ard it costs a reasonable price. We
never want more than a reasonable
price for our Groceries.".
RAPID SALES
Give our customers the benefit of
