That the Power of Money
in making more money
is the secret of getting
rich is generally admit
ted. The average so-called
"savings deposit" is on
ly 400 yet this $400
represents G per cent, in
terest on nearly $7,000
for a full year. As the
most of these accounts
were started with a de
posit of one to ten dol
lars and gradually in
creased to their present
size, doesn't it seem that
you YOU can do fully as
well as others? Make up
your mind to DO IT
it lion it's merely a case
of application. Your
earnings are as large,
or larger, than those of
the average depositor
referred to, only you
haven't been- banking
your money.
Come in and let us tell
you some other reasons
why you should have a

beautiful and touching. Capt. Day's
friends were almost without number
and many people from other cities
were here to pay the last sad re
spects to his memory before he was
laid away to rest.
"The pall bearers were his inti
mate friends, these being: ex-Chief
Justice George H. Brown, ex-Judge

While the guests were assembling
and during the ceremony several
well-known selections were played
by Miss Lizzie Hyman. The proces

dress of brown, with brown hat,
gloves and shoes and trimmings from
her mother's wedding dress and car
ried a shower boquet of lillies-of-the-valley.
The maid-of -honor wore
a cream voile dress and picture hat
and carried an armful of Marechal
Niel roses.
The church was beautifully decor
ated in yellow chrysanthemums and
ferns.
The night before the wedding a
public reception was held at the
home of the bride's parents where
a large number of the friends of
both bride and groom called to ten
der their good wishes and see the
lovely presents.
After a short wedding trip Dr. and
Mrs. Kitchin will be at Lumberton
where Dr. Kitchin is successfully en
gage in the practice of medicine
having taken a high stand at the
Jefferson Medical College and before
the Medical Board of North Carolina.

Death ot a Child.
(Reported to The Commonwealth.)
Died Sunday morning at 8 o'clock
ittle Charlie, the infant baby of Mr.
and Mrs. Norman Barr. Little
Charlie was born September 16th
and died October 24th. He only
stayed with us a short while. All
was done for him that could be done
but it was all in vain. The Lord
called the little afigel and he had to
go, but we miss him so much for he
was so bright, but we hope he is an
angel in heaven and hope we will
meet him there. He was laid to rest
in the Baptist cemetery Monday
morning at 3 o'clock. The burial
services were conducted by Rev. R.
A. McFarland.
Safely, safely gathered in
Far from sorrow, far from sin.
No more childish grief or fear.
No more sadness, no more tears
For the life so young and fair
Now hath passed from earthly care.
God himself the soul will keep
Giving his beloved sheep.
Friends and relatives sympathize
with Mr. and Mrs. Barr m their deep
bereavement.
