Zimri D. Virgins, the president of
the Columbia, assigns as the immediate
cause Of the failure of his bank the
suit which was brought against it
by the Sioux City Loan & Trust
Company which failed few days ago.
The Columbia was the Chicago bank
with which the Sioux City concern did
business and their deposit i'll the bank
at the time of their collapse in Sioux
City amounted to $50, coo. A draft was
drawn on the Columbia for this amount.
When the draft was presented by a man
from Iowa the bank refused payment,
claiming that it had loans outstanding
against the Sioux City Company
which equaled the amount Of
their deposit. Immediately on
this refusal OF the bank to honor the
draft the company entered suit against
the bank. The news Of the suit spread
and caused a run on the bank which

Burgaw High School closed its
first session under very propi-
tious circumstances on Friday,
Dec. 18th. The exercises of the
school and the debate by the
young men were very good, and
were enjoyed by the largest
crowd of people that has been
seen in Burgaw in several years.
The patrons of the school express
ed themselves as being highly
pleased with the work done py
Prof. Peterson and his excellent
assistant, Miss Herring. Mr..
Peterson announced that the
school would open again under
the same management on Tues
day, Jan. Sd, SO. The outlook

Mr.. E. M. Petersen, of Gin
ton, was in our county last week,

spects for a paper at Burgaw.

answer was that he would be sole

First Gun For the ReIiefFund


Friday, the first payment was
made through the relief plan of
the State Alliance. A check was
sont for $50 to Bro. George w.

ton county. His loss was the
death Of a horse. It will be
quite a help to him, no doubt.
So far only a small portion
OF the Sub-Alliances have paid
in their quarterly contribution
to the fund. ALL should attend
to this at once and get in posi-
ton to share the advantages. A
few days ago a Sub-Alliance
sent in their portion due the

of the Alliance that they offer
the following resolution at the

MEANING OF THE MONTHS.

MEANING OF TIE hOS hs.
How They Came to be Named-Revo.
luton Of the Present Calendar.
January begins the year and
looks both ways-toward the
year just past and that just
coming. 1t was therefore
named by the Romans for their
god of war, Janus. He had two
faces, and was therefore called
Janus Bifrons, which may be
freely translated, "Holy Two
front" Originally this was
only the eleventh month, and
the four preceding were named
Septem, Octo, Novem and De-
Gem, as they then were the
seventh, eighth, ninth and
tenth months. 1t would take
a small volume to explain how,
as a quaint old almanac says,
such skies and such sevens the
months were knocked so that
ten became translated into Oc-
to. Suffice it to say, January
begins the year now, and the
other months are to be ex-
planned in their turn.
February was an unfortunate
month from the start. The
Romans did not at first intend
to have any such month, but
finding the year all askew, they
added some days at the last of
it, and designated them as the
days "to purify" ("februare"
in old Latin). Finding they
had set the time too early they
put the new month after Janu-
airy, and measured it by the
moon. When they began to
''purify'' for the coming sum-
mer they ate beans instead Of
meat, and therefore named the
season Lent ("lentes'-beans).
By miscounting the days, how
ever, their year soon got two
months behind, aud julius Ca-
sar overhauled it agaiu.
March is a name of war. The
Romans named it for Mars.
their war god, perhaps because
winter and spring contended
for the month. We owe the
Romans one for making this
the third month, for this laid
the basis for some of our finest
old crusted jokes, such as
"March fourth!' addressed to
the retiring president, and the
chesnutty minstrel command
to the stage soldiers, "Janu-
airy, February, March" Let
us remember the Romans, even
for this little. On second
thought, let us remember them
all the more as they were not
in general way humorous
people.
April is supposed to be so
called because things open about
that time Latin "aperire"). 1t
is the aperient month, so to
speak. Having no mythology
the month is in this latitude
sacred to catarrh. When the
new humanity does away with
all old superstition and re-es-
tablishes a pure Saxon Ian
guage, as it promises to do,
this will probably be called
Springchickenmonth, or Kuch-
leinmonath or Sneezereezer. or
some tender little name of that
instructive sort.
May is by common consent
the synonym for flowers and
poetry, women and children.
music and moonlight-every
thing sweet and soft. AS a
matter of fact the popular 20
etry for the month would suit
the last half of it and the first
half of June much better.
The Romans named it from
Maia, daughter of Atlas and
mother of Mercury. The Ro-
mans seldom got married in
May, as the festival of the
dead was celebrated early in

In heavenly minds can such resent

August, with its thirty-one
days, Is a perpetual reminder
of how Augustus Caesar (Octa-
vius) slipped up on his uncle
Julius. He insisted on having
big month named for himself
also, and so pulled the whole
calendar around as to bring
two thirty-one day months to-
gether in midsummer, as in
mid-winter, at the same time
changing the name from Sex
tillis, or the Sixth (which il
then was), to Augustus. "Dog
days" prevail in this month, be-
cause the sun is in CAMS Major,
and Sirius rises about the same
time as the sun-at least SO the
ancients thought-but it is now
known that the heliacal rising
of Sirius is peculiarly indeter-
inmate, and therefore every dog
has his day.
September is the month, and
the 14th the particular day, on
which the creation Of the world
was completed, according to the
old rabbins. The russian priests
added that man was created in
this month, because more fruit
ripens in it than in any other.
That was when they had no
ideas Of south latitude and had
never heard Of the equator. In
the Roman calendar it was the
seventh month, and so they
named it from septem-"seven.'
October was the Romans 9Th
originally, and therefore
named from octo-"eight." In
the old legends it was set down
as the month in which Adam
and Eve were expelled from
Paradise.
