L IN and about the city - - •*- r f THE town clock back TO NORMALCY AGAIN Does Remarkably Well When One lie-’ members What It Has Been Through. f There is a vast deal of rejoicing in ’ and about the city. The town clock is again running correctly. 1 Not that it has been so terribly off of late. Nay rather it has been more ’ nearly right than is its usual wont. For weeks now it has been only seCen and eight minutes too fast, which, being con sidered. is not so bad for a clock like the town clock, hoary with age, bearing I the burden of fifty summers and wint ers. There have been times in the past when it has been as much as several hours slow, or fast as the case might be. On one or two occasions, it has been known to stop for days at a time and positively refuse to budge. Recent ly though, it has been living a reformed life and aside from making a few little plunges into the realms of the wrong time, it has lived a very orderly dis tance. However, getting down to the serious aspects of the case, the .dock is really a very remarkable piece of mechanism. Should any of the readers thing this not to be true, they should take a little trip . to its interior ami there see time in the making. After a dizzy and fatiguing climb up unnumbered flights of stairs, the little tower room, the home of the timepiece is reached. Iu it is a strange assemblage of wheels and bars. To'the uninitiated ! in tiie mysteries of clock manufacture, | the work appears to be a few cog wheels, perched on several horizontal bars which arc every now and then, in order to re -1 lieve the monotony of the scene, broken to put in a universal joint. There are also two drums on which are wound quite a length of steel roping, the guide, Art J-entz. who incidentally is the keeper ami guardlkn of the clock, was kind enough to explain that these ropes ran the clock. The weight on the end of one turned the drum and eaused the pendulum to swing, while the other weight was to run the striker. At the end of every eight days, it be came nCcesary to run the weights from the ground to the tower, which work is done by the court house janitor. The arrangement whereby the clock is made to strike is far too simple to ex plain. AD that is seen is a large wheel ftf about a yard in diameter with notches on one side. In some mysterious man ner this wheel contrives. with the aid of a sort of cogged arc. to strike the correct hour, never failing to do the job neatly, Guardian Lentz says. Small rods, also well decorated with universal joints, radiate from the central part of the tower to the clock faces where the public catches a glimpse of the result of the inner workings of the clock and see tempus as it fugits. The clock is a Seth Thomas, and considering all the handicaps. due to weather changes and a swaying tower, it gives excellent service. Fire Tuesday Night. Fire Tuesday night at the home of : Gater Hartsell on West Academy > street caused a brilliant illumination of the en tire section of the niytictheing traing tire section of the city iu the vicinity of ; the Buffalo Mill. The tire caught on the roof, presumably from sparks, and burned the entire front roof of the house off. The damage was small, not exceeding several hundred dol lars. The blaze was quickly extinguished when the firemen arrived. The home is the property of Jess Poplin. Five days hath August, all of which will be neede to pay for the countless soft drinks consumed. l ; Who pays-you or the Insurance company? ! 8 Are you prepared to pay for a 2 the garage or any other out- B 8 building that goes up in 1 8 flames?

THE CONCORD DAILY TRIBUNE ZjM 7 Solution of Auatlo No. 6. jp t LIBRARY STILL POPULAR BUT IT NEEDS MONEY Handicapped by lack of Friends Despite Its Great Popularity. Things arc not moving along as smooth ly at the Concord Public Library as they might, according to Mrs. Richmond Reed, librarian. The principal cause of the trouble is a very ordinary one, that of a lack of money. Sinee May 1. 1924. there has been only one contribution to the library, the con tribution being made by Mrs. S. S. Young for a sum of tweuty-five dollars. ThU accounts for the few books which have been bought as is shown in the December report quoted below. During the month of December, there were only seven new adult books pur chased and no new children's books. With the number of borrowers reaching a to tal of 5966 and with adults books bor rowed totaling 1897. with a total of 698 children’s books, taken out, it is easily seen how popular the library is and (low greatly it is nsed. Noting that 15 adult and 4 children’s books were withdrawn, it may be seen that the number of books decreased by 1.1 during the month. The following is the report: Borrowers 5906; new borrowers 54. Visitors to reading room: Adults 468, children 416: total 884. Books borrowed : Adult 1897. children’s 698, total 2595. Books bought : Adult 7. children 0. Books given : Adult 2. children's 0. Books withdrawn : Adult 15: children's 4. Total number volumes (1633. Movie Shows Life at Duke University.

Cline, of East Corbin street, who has been employed as a buyer of cotton goods for Penny's Stores with headquarters at St. Paul, has been transferred to New York and will begin work there immedi ately. The ehange occurs as a result of the consolidation of (he offices of the Penny! Stores. The St. Paul office will be mov ed to New York and the work which it has done heretofore will be done in New York. Since the consolidation of the offices.’ the Penny Company has announced plans to build an iminense warehouse nt the ' cost of something over two and a half < million dollars, to be used for storage i add for offices as well.'
