The store presented an appearance of real values without pretense at the dowdy or 'chap', and further obser vation showed a line of useful and necessary mercandise with many purprlses of low price on staple gq)ds . The People's Bargain Store was probably the busiest store In tne rty last Saturday, and affordtefl a ptnklng example of the value or newspaper advertising.

The mention there" made In both the advertising and the news columns seemed to have reached the public most effectively.

In the seventy ux remaining oi'Mties, probobly manv ss 'i.'i.OOO more were vaccinated by ounty physicians aid others, malt ing a total of at Veast nm.f'OO North Carolinians Immunized to typhoid fever this summer. pill What Campaign ButUns Were rrobably Like a Hundred Years And HV More Ago " ' ' ' " ' Every day instances are DrougSt :. to ii,5ht illustrating the fact ' that ' there is nothing new under the iiin. V When in the neat oi tne last pre duit al campaign ardent demociiti carr.ed Wood row Wilson's name of likeness on their coat lapei or atcn " fob, possibly they thougnt that tn ' campaign button was a' fwentrsa ' century idea. On the other hand . ' there is the possibility that t hit 1 . custom went far obck into history ' and some of us may hare wondered what sort of campaign buttons wer ,"v , worn In Washington's time. ' ' f ' Interesting light may possibly M ' thrown on this question by the find i . ' of Mr. W. E. Dunstan or this city. "! ' Some years ago there were plowed ' 1 up, in Newland township in tnii" ' ' county, two urass or copper medal 1 lions of unique design. Mi1. Dunstan . ': heard of their discovery and took the ,' pains to secure them. They art still In his possesion. s Each of the medallions is round '' ' 1 and about the size of a silver BST? ; ' -dollar. The copper one is stamped' ',' with the "fair Roman character', "O. W." in the center, with fn ' words Long Lire the President" forming an arxtualong the outer rim - of the upper half of the "Button.'' ' The other, brighter, apparently brass' and much more elaborate, has tha f same initials engraved in the centef ' in script. Surrounding the Initials . and with them forming a central fls- , Vn sign are again the words "Long Lite ' the President" engraved in Roman " characters. The outer circle fie- tween the central design and the " 4 rim Is taken np entirely by A bonder ' consisting of thirteen engraved links, representing the thirteen colonies, which are Indicated oy Initial letters In script, occupying very nearly the entire space within the links. Evi dence that these medallons were but ten made to be fastened on the Mat lapel Is seen when one examines the back, which ia without lettering of ady sort and in the center Of which Is a broken spur. Thll spur, cn the brass 'button', Bat ' been hammered flat but may be readily seen Imbedded In the metaL That these interesting rellCl date back to Washington's time would be conceivable If one Knew nothing of their history. When lt is remem bered that they were dug up In Pas quotank where history gofcs bacfMCU the rarliest permanent wnite settlements in North Carolina, tne idea appears entirely reasonable. Mr. Dunstan is anxious to know whether thene is any written history ' which corroborates this theory or whether there are extant any tllnv , liar tablets.
