the Parrish warehouse. Another is on

be drawing a crowd. Well, it is all right
that the birth of American independence
should be celebrated by somebody, and if
the white people won't, why then let the
negroes have their time.
The man who works for wages is off
to-day on a holiday, wearing his good
clothes and otherwise celebrating the ga

who called in the aid of detectives to dis
cover the thief, found it this morning in
the bottom of her trunk, hid under some

the chamber maid purloined the ring,
but became frightened later on and took
this method Of returning it.

CHANGES LOCATION
But Otherwise the Bank Remains
the Same.
The First National Moves Into Its New
Home To-day.
HANOsOMEsT BANK IN THE STATE
the Holiday to Get Things in Shape
Enr


The First National bank moved to day
in its elegant new quarters, corner Main
and Corcoran streets, and will continue
to do business when business is business.
To-day being legal holiday when the
banks would all close anyway, Colonel
Heartt very wisely concluded to make
hay while the band played and be in po-
sition to dance Tomorrow In this way
no time will be lost by the change, and
as time is money, the bank may be re-
garded as solid.
Much has been said in these columns
about the new building in which the
First National will hereafter have it's
home. 1t is not only the handsomest
bank building in the state, but would be
an ornament to any city. 1t is something
of which all Durham is proud, as it has a
right to be.
In the changes which will be made, the
First National will be better than ever
equipped for its large and increasing
business. Generally recognized as one
of the solid banking institutions Of the
country, it is part Of Durham to which
all look with interest and in such evi
dences Of prosperity as the erection of
the building it now occupies, all rejoice

that she had been falsely arrested. The
police officials laughed at her.
II was o'clock before she asked for a
messenger. The message brought the
manager Of the Empire down in hot
haste. His astonishment at seeing his

he swore ut the sergeant. threatened TO
enter suit against every Official within

The soubrette. after leaving the police
station. dropped her air OF outraged and
indignant innocence and surprised her
manager by laughing heartily at what
she called n rnoet ridiculous mistake.
She made him promise To make no fuss
whatever about the matter. The police.
when they found out who their prisoner

drop.

certain players succeed better when
they are leaders. and others when they
are led. Instead of merely taking
hands the player who goes out often
holds tho back of the others hand
against his forehead. Sometimes the
one who goes out holds no ones hand

very earnestly of what they have
agreed he shall do.
So the roand Of fun Is run II rarely
happens that Christmas games are well

sn9gcsted thereby. The real difficulty
usually lies in making a beginning.

One Of the foremost educators in America
is Principal L. L. Camp of the Dwight school
In New Haven, Conn.,, whose portrait IS
given above. His pupils are scattered east
and west and many of them occupy respon-
sible positions i'll business and professional
life, which they have won in no small meas
ure because of their early instruction and
training under him.
Prof. Camp taught first in Meriden, then as
