Serious Forest Fire
Prompt Action of PhiladeJphia ,
Sportsman Results in Pre
vention of Much Damage
A forest fire discovered by Mr. J.
J. O’Donnell' of Philadelphia, in the
region between Chapin’s orchard and
Roseland would probabaly have caus
ed untold property damage and possi
bly loss of life but for Mr. O’Donnell’s
calling of the Forest Fire Depart
ment in charge of Horace Kelly and
|the farmers’ untiring efforts after
their arrival and until the fire was
subdued.
Pinehurst needs more visitors of
Mr. O’Donnell’s calibre to insure the
continuance of its reputation for beau
tiful forests and' fields and well-stock
ed game covers. Fire is the worst
enemy of game birds, especially dur
ing the nesting season.
The Philadelphian is a hunter and
an all-round sportsman and a great
booster for conservation as well as
propogation.

RETURNS FROM EUROPE
Jackson H. Boyd of Southern Pines
landed in New York yesterday after
a trip to England and France in
company with his brother, James
Boyd, the author. The latter is re
maining in Paris for a short time, im-
dergoing treatment for sinus trouble.
Mrs. Jackson Boyd left Wednesday
for New York to meet her husband at
the boat.
A French lady would like position
as a maid or nurse for baby or
invalid. Experienced. Apply South
ern Pines, Box 333.
There are three* fundamental insti
tutions essential to the proper de
velopment of any resort.
They are churches, schools and
banking facilities. Of course the last
mentioned is not demanded or evren
justified until the village has reach
ed considerable proportions, but the
time is sure to come when continued
growth will be seriously impeded by
the lack of a bank.
In 1914 it appeared that Pinehurst
I would support such an institution, so
the Bank of Pinehurst was founded
with a $12,000 capital. Its rapid
growth proved that the demand al
ready existed, and in a few years it
had grown until its capital was $10,-
GOO and its resources around a million.
A new building was erected to afford
necessary accommodation, where every
facility for the very best of banking
service is provided.
Mr. R. S. Tufts is Chairman of the
Board and Mr. F. W. Von Canon is
President. The Board of Directors
comprises men of long residence and
varied business experience in the
Sandhills.

you are advised and cordially invited

Furniture Display
M of Next Week-Apry 20 to 25
Always some one on hand to talk about your personal furniture
situation and to help with your individual problems.
It is believed that furniture has reached the bottom
in price, and information from the factories that a
strengthening tone is evident, indicating probably de
mands that may have an effect on prices before long.
The wise householder will take advantage of pres
ent prices to supply those things that are needed or will
be needed soon. Stocks everywhere have been pretty
well sold down, and inventories will be held close to the
outward movement from the factories.
Everybody welcome at the Show Room in the Village Court Build
ing. Stop in as you go by.
