He returned to Creedmoor this morning and will remain for a few days. The bank starts off under very favorable conditions. Durham Sun. Charley Reynolds makes a very shrewd Republican speech, yet very wild in some of his statements just such a speech as will please the Re publicans, regardless of perverted statements about Democratic poll cles. But all of that will be cut out and trimmed down when he meets W. W. Kitchln, and the pruning knife Is applied to him. Durham Sun. Mr. F. R. Hugee, General Super intendent of the Seaboard System and Roadmaster J. T. Elmore, of Henderson, were in Oxford Friday. Mr. Hugee paid our town quite a compliment when he said: Oxford is one of the nicest and best towns on the Seaboard system. We would tip our hat to him if he would order a regular connection made with the freight train from Durham every morning. The good-natured Sheriff How ard, who has during the past week been really feasting his eyes on the land of plenty, returned to Oxford Wednesday. He visited his several farms in different sections of Gran ville and Person, and his broad face beams with joy when he talks about the luxuriant crops of corn and to bacco and makes his heart feel glad when he thinks that we all live in a land of plenty, and the good Lord Is abundantly blessing the people. Were you ever tempted to think that the editor was indulging in per sonal "digs" when you saw some thing In the paper which seemed to fit your case? Discard that thought. Remember the old saying that "many a shaft at random sent finds mark the archer little meant." Why, only the other day we rejid of a Texas editor who published the ten com mandments In his paper by request, with the result that he lost half of his subscribers before he could have time to explain In the next issue that no personal reflections were meant. Durham Sun. A representative of the Kella.ni Cancer Hospital, of Richmond, Va., examined a good many people who are afflicted with cancer at this place August 22ad, who will go to Rich mond, Va., and take treatment at the Kellam Cancer Hospital.

To steal a kiss, says a French writer Is natural; to buy a kiss Is stupidity; for two girls to kiss is a loss of time; not to kiss at all is an Insignificance; for two men to kiss Is quite ridiculous; to kiss the hand or the tips of the fingers is droll; to kiss one's sister Is proper; to kiss one's wife is an obligation; kissing a child Is often a regret for not being per mitted to kiss the mother; to kiss an ugly person Is gallantry; to kiss an old, faded widow shows great de votedness. but to kiss a young, blush ing widow Is a charm; to kiss one's waiting maid Is very dangerous; to kiss one's affianced Is a premedita tion and a right; an old, rich aunt, it is hypocrisy; a young cook in the bloom of age is dellcous, dainty; to kiss a neighbors wife is doubtless very good, but quite wrong; kissing three girls the same day Is an extrav agance; a girl whose father Is watch ing her, It may make one jump over the fence; to kiss a mother-in-law is a sacrifice; an old maid It is polite ness; finally, a kiss to one's mother is the purest, the sweetest of all kisses. Suicide Prevented. The startling announcement that a pre ventive of suicide had been discovered will interest many. A run down system or de spondency invariably precede suicide and something has been found that will prevent ihat condition which makes suicide likely. At the first thought of self destruction take Electric Bitters. It being a great tonic and nervine will strengthen the nerves and builb up the system: It's also a great stomach, liver and kidney regulator. Only 50c. Sat isfaction guaranteed by all druggists.

With unflag glng zeal and unceasing devotion he performed every duty and was great ly esteemed by those who knew him best. He was kind-hearted, gener ous and a devoted follower of the meek and lowly Jesus, and after a life so well spent his end was as calm and peaceful as a radiant sunset, yet more srlorlous for there was Immor tal hope. To his son, father, moth er. brothers and sisters who are left In sorrow we extend much sympathy, Unveiling of Monument. Quite a large crowd assembled In Elmwood Cemetery Sunday after noon at 4:30 o'clock to witness the unveiling of a beautiful monument erected by the Woodman of the World to the memory of Mr. James R.

With an eye to business, he called his son to him ere his departure and instruct ed him carefully and in detail how he wished his affairs conducted during his absence. "Now, Isaac' said he, "Ivontyou to be very particular mlt the suits. I have regulated the price this way: Every dot on the price mark means a dollar. Von dot means von dollar; two dots, two dollars; three dots three dollars. Now, my boy, save the price-marks and take good care of the store, so your old father will be proud of you!" And so the old Jew went away and stayed two weeks. Upon his re tnrn he sought his son eaacerly. 4 Veil, Isaac, and how has business been?" "Very good, father. I've sold twenty-seven suits." The aged Jew held up his hands in amazement. "Twenty-seven suits! Oh Isaac, and how much money did you get?" Isaac showed a prodigious sum. Again the old man lifted his arms. "Vat! all this money, and nobody come back!" "No, father, nobody came back." "Isaac, you have saved the tags? Give them to me." Slowly and critically he examined the bits of pasteboard. Then a great light Illuminated bis face. "Oh Isaac!" he cried, "thank God for dose little flies!" Jules Verne Des Voignes, in September Lipplncott's. Mrs. John B.

Governor Aycock will go down In history as North Carolina's 'Educa tional Governor." Our new Gov ernor, the Hon. R. B. Glenn, Is to be the "Industrial Governor." In his speech at Raleigh on Wednesday night he declared his desire for thor ough harmony between labor and capital and announces that his hobby would be to travel as much as pos sible throughout the length and breadth of the State, telling of the wonderful resources of the State and inviting people of other States to cast their lot In North Carolina. We see In this plan of Glenn something of tremendous advantage to the de velopment of the Old North State Wilmington Star. "He's all Right."

Ex. New Use For Baldheaded Men. In France the balheaded man may turn his infirmity to practical ac count. He may Ipase his hairless pate for advertising purposes. In the French capital, according to a cor respondent of the London Telegraph, It Is not an uncommon thing to see a baldheaded man walking the street with advertisements painted on his cranium. This is the latest thing In advertising and It is quite the most novel of modern methods of attract ing attention to one's ware's. Here tofore the man with a smooth pate has been regarded. as more ornamen tal than useful more an object of suspicious than of utility. He has generally been associated with the front seats at theatres and has been considered a "bold," bad fellow," old enough to avoid wicked ways, but obstalnately bent upon being worldly. But even the hairless head has another uses than merely point ing a moral and adorning a tall. It can be made to advertise In brilliant colors the goods of the enterprising merchant. The latter must haye some regard, however for the ''eter nal verities." One baldheaded man lu Paris had painted on his pate an advertisement of a tonic. That was funny, but It was far from convinc ing. WANTED. Your first load of tobacco whether primings or cut tobacco at the Far mers Warehouse, where J. F.
