The big liostnn Chicker- ! ingpiuno factory, cuverintf as it does more than a a citv block, ia a lasting monument to the sterling qualities of a man uVtormincd to win. When as a boy young Chickering caught the clink of his fathers's an vil pounding melody from a white hot horseshoe, he resolved to give to the world an instrument that would indeliby imprison the harmony that was vibrating in his soul. He saved his earnings, and the achievement of this sturdy Chirker ing piano maker is today world his tory. And so it is with every one who has the handling of money-success comes only by saving saving is a check ou extravagance, and a means to independence. A saving account in this bank will help you in a hundred ways. Deposits in our savings department are protected by all the assets of the institution, and the smallest deposi tor i treated as courteously as the largest. WACHOVIA BANK t TRUST CO.

Eight Months School There was a meeting of the school board last night to con sider the election of teachers for next year. There will be sev eral changes in the factu'ty.
