YES, Mr.. Statesman, it is generally
supposed by confiding public that
bank officers are the custodians OF
the private affairs as well as the
funds of the depositors. But people
will talk, like to show money-es-
pecially during elections. The Bank
officials are 0. K. every time.

THE Statesman deserves the thanks
of the people for telling the truth
about the Republican celebration. 1t
says:
"The Republicans had their jubilee
on last Thursday, as per announce
ment, and it was a big thing on
wheels, horseback and afoot. Every
thing passed off very tremendously,
and we heard of no disorder or dis
turbance."

THE windows of Mr.. III. S. Hyde
are among the most attractive in
town. Rare and costly Christmas
gifts abound. There is confusion
of gold, silver and sparkling stones,
that catch the eye and win the admi-
ration of the viewer. Vases, watch
es, rings, charms, spectacles, dia-
monds, clocks, ornaments-hash and
sparkle, appealing to the pocket-book
of the buyer. Hyde has beautiful
Xmas stock, and it will pay to in
spect it.
Mr.. JOSEPH BRILLIANT died at his
residence on Raleigh ST., last Satur-
day morning. The serious injuries
he received on the railroad, proved
too much for even his strong consti-
ton, and after week of pain and
suffering, death called him away.
He leaves q wife and four children,
and was kind, peaceable, and good
citizen. Rev. Edward preached the
funeral services on Monday morn
ing, and his remains were inferred in
Greenhill Cemetery.
Ell. G. BERRY leaves on Monday for
New York for his Xmas stock. Look
out for nice goods, fancy goods, fun
ny goods and good goods of all
kinds in that line. Don't fail to see
his stock when it is ready.
INDIAN summer is delightful and
balmy season. but the unwary fly
that crawls out OF its winter quarters
under the impression that June has
already come back, and is found
stuck on the window pane the MORN
ing after the night chilliness is sub
siding. doubtless thinks that Indian
summer is q delusion and snare,
during which it isn't safe for a sum-
mer fly to be out nights without an
overcoat and winter fannels on.
