inte^ting program

be that there are no other stories
of equal interest or value to t^ie

offering to those who are* plan
ning to build, let us say you buy
one share of its stoiik ^and pay
the usual dollar a month for
that share. In 78 months it
nets you $100. " That s $22. clear
profit. Suppose you wanted to
borrow the hundred dollars be-
tore the end of the 78 months.
All you’ve got to do is file yoUr
application for it with me. and
as soon as the B. & L.’s funds
are sufficient 1 will at^ange the
loan. You can buy 6 (^/jlO or
100 shares, in which case' your
monthly installment-^ the^
stock would be $6., or 10., or
$100, respectively. And the
amount you could borrow would
be larger accordingly than
where you bought., only lo^e
share. Likewise, the profits on
5 shares would be 6 times $22.,X!
and for 10 shares it would be 10
times $22.
And I suggest that you do not
wait to buy stock until you are
about to build, as you must be a
member of the B & L to file an
application for a loan, and loans
are made in the order in which
they come, and therefore, the
surest way to secure your loan
as earlv as possible is to become
a stockholder likewise as early
as you can. And should you
not he able to buy but a few
shaies, say five, but wanted to
borrow a thousand dollars, yon
can buy just the five shared
aud pay the five dollars per
month until you borrow the
thousand, at which time you
can then begin paying for tbe
ten shares plus the interest eaqh
month. . ■
If interested in this proposition
either as a mere investor or with
a view primarily of borrowing
money with which to biiild a
home in town, I will be delight*
ed to explain every detail of it
to you as a part of my job of''
free services to the B & L Assn.
So do not hesitate to ask me any
thing about it which you
like to know.

The subject for tbe afterncMn’s

last'time, “Bible Stories.” Mra,

paper discussing hotv, when and
which stories to tell the children.

and helpful way. Mrs. W. C.
Brown was called upon to share

things she had been bearing at

a most enjoyable talk; giving ex
tracts from several famous lec

Coarade' Iffisson Diet. '
Mr. J. Q. Glisson drepped dead
on the etreeta 'of Laurinhnrg
Tuesday about noon. Re was
near 76 years, and it is pr»bable
the excessive heat caused his
death, as he was a very energet
ic man and liable to go beyond
his strength.
Mr. Glisson was » Gonfiederate
veteran, and a member of Camp
Lamb and attended the^ren^idon
at Arabia la few weeks aga and
seemed' in- the best of health,
smiling, cheerful and none would
have bfudlv selected him from
the decreet line as the %st to
answer the final roll call. ^

As Mr. A. P. Spell, attorney
of Red Springs, with twp^ little
sons with him were in ^hls car
driving along tbe road near Lum-
berto^ last Sunday evening, they
met another car loaded with
men, and the cars collided. This'
led to an atercation of words
which was followed by one of
the men in the car drawing »
gun and shooting Mr. Spell.
These men then drove off, but
fortunately some other party
drove along and carried the
wounded man to a hospital in;
Lumberton.
A man named 'Trawidc from
South Carolina did the shooting.'
He was arrested and committed
to jail.
While painfully wounded Mr.'
Spell is dicing well. ,The ball,
