MERCANTILE COOPERATIVE BANK.
81 AND 80 WALL ST, N. Y.

LOANS PAYABLE IN 1NSTALLMENTS
A shareholder in the Mercantile Co
operative Bank may borrow in INSTALL
ments. If he does not own real estate suf-
ticient to pledge the loan, and owns lot,
wishing to build upon it he can take shares
and apply for a loan, drawing the loan as
his building progresses.
For instance, suppose that a man holds
5 shares, he is entitled to apply for loan
of $1,000, as the maturity value of his
shares is 81 900 If he owns lot worth
say $500, and wishes to build home upon
it for say, 81 900, he can apply for loan
of 81 900, and will get $500 as the first in
stallment on his $500 lot. With that $500
he can commence building, and on the ex-
penditure of that amount, his lot will be
worth 500 and he can borrow another in
stallment on furnishing the bank a certi-
ficate from the architect, builder or con-
tractor of such expenditure, and so from
time to time, as the building progresses
he can draw his installments, as he needs
them, SO that on the completion
of the building, he will have his full 81 900
loan, and the bank will have first mort
gage on the property, which will then be
worth 81 400, and ample security for the
money borrowed.

The promlscuous kissing Of children
is q pestilent practice. We use the
word advisedly, and it is mild for
the occasion. Mufderous wOnld
be the proper word, did the kissers
know the mischief they do. 10 you
remember calling on your dear friend
Mrs. Brown, the other day, q stIlp
Of flannel around your neck And
when little Flora come dancing into
the loom, diiu't you poUnce upon her
demonstratively. call her precions
little pet, and kiss her? Then You
serenely proceeded to describe the
dreadful sore throat that kept you
from pr ver-meetlng the night before.
You had no designs on the dear
child's life, we knew; nevertheless
you killed her as surely as if you had
fed her with strychnine or arsen~
ic.
Your carelssnoss was falal. Two
or three days after the little pet
began TO complain Of q sore throat
too. The symptoms grew rapidly
alarming, and when the doctor came
the simple word dIphtherIa explained
them all. To-day q little mound
IS the sole memento of your visit.
Of course the mother does not susr
pect, aud would not dare to suspect
you Of any instromentality IN her
bereavement. She charges it to g
mysterious providence. The doctor
says nothing to disturb the deluslon
that would be impolttic if not
crucl-5ut to an outsider he is free
to say that the child's death was due
directly to your stupidity. Those
are precisely his words; and who
shall say under the circumstances,
that they are not justifaOle?

lArgonaut.)
While North Carolina has not
made much noise. and there has not
been anywhere in her borders,

that term is usually employed, there
has nevertheless been very great
progress throughout the length and
breadth Of the State. This business
revival and industrial progress has
taken place within two or three years.
and is increasing with a rapidity,
and assuming proportions which
would astonish even our own people,
If they could fully grasp the situation
and understand the facts. Not only
is this progress in the mining and
manufacturing industries. but, which
is Of really more Importance, in the
agriculture Of the Stale. Independ-
ent Of the fact, that the present year
has been one Of extraordinarily good
crops, there is marked Improvement
all along tie line. Better methods
are being adopted, greater variety
of crops are being cultivated, more
a:tentjon is being given to food
supplies and the expense Of farming
is being reduced. There is no State
in the Union in which the farmer is
in better co. Il lou {. has q bright
er outlook before him, than in the
good old State of North Carolina.
Eve.y day, new enterprises are
starting up, increased capital being
invested and new fields for enterprise
being disclosed. Railroads are being
projected and built In all parts OF
the State and new towns springiDg
up on every hand. Our people are
too conservative to rash headloDg
into speculation. Ali Investments
have been made upon a solid basis
and with an assurance Of success.
But Notwithstanding the very sat
isfactory progress of the past few
years, we have only started upon
the race. With resources Of climate
soil and minerals, superior to al
others, there IS before the State s
future of material growth and indus
trial prosperity, grand IN its dimen
sions and dazzling il its splendor.
Nowhere in the Union are there
better opportunities for the invest
) ment of capital with the certainty o
Satisfactory returns, than are to b.
: found in North Carolina. With irol

l mi1e, ais in almost every part Of th'

They had g-ief. Juliet could not

green, EMBEDDING earth alone remains
what might have been useful,

There has been much written
about this suicide, tear.ul sentiment
long drawn out. Suiciue, at least
when love is the cause, Is an at
tIactlve theme. Young people,
especially lady = -aduate and youths
who cut the chin with their first

the heart woes which seli-1mpOsed

implies. In literature Of a Gel JAN

when a girl differs from her mother
as to whom she may marry, Or a
young man fluids after lie has played
so high as to lose that he had no
money to begin with, the pistol or
bowl! Death is idealized. Suicide
has ITS runs like other manias and
at times becomes quite the fashion,
like lawn tennis or bleaching the
hair
SO far as suicide relieves the
world Of fools and towards there is
much to be said II it's favor. When

The Germans for a long time fastened
the traces directly TO the horns Of the
oxen. Many of them still have stout
strap bound around the base Of the
horns, to which the traces are fastened.
A Long Island farmer has invented an
Improvement on the German method.
In this the OK draws from the forehead,
a padded band fitting around the head
first above the eyes. The authority
quoted thinks that many oxen that are
worked in heavy yOkes waste portion
of their strength because their necks are
too light to stand the full weight Of
their bodies, and their shoulders are not
straight enough to properly fit into the
bow. These oxen would do better work
in the harness shown in the cut and pho
tographed by New Jersey correspond
ent for Rural New Yorker. These oxen,
is is claimed, have become perfectly
familiar with this harness, and work as
contentedly in it as they ever did in the
yoke. No experiments have been made
to determine whether they can haul a
heavier load with the collars and traces,
but it is believed that there is little diff
ference In this respect.
