These peculiar views are held seriously

bghtened days to show TINT banks are

that banks draw interest from the people

IL purely delusion Unless capital is
employed it can earn no interest
Inc chicf benefit conferred by banks
is their insurance of credits, through

OF all Kinds is transacted than if men

The Popnhst protcnSe that bankers

The Rocky Mount IJ,g0NaHt
truthtully says, 1.-The business
man who thinks he can do busi-

lamentable lack Of Judgment.
In this year of our Lord 1895,
people who have money to spend
read the newspapers, and instead
of going around the street hunts
ing for what they need, take up
their paper and soon find where
they are kept. The man who
advertises and does it in a busi~
ness-like manner will in the end
come out ahead of his neighbor
who thinks the world ought to
hunt him up to find out his busi-
ness. If you want peoples trade

not only famine, but disease A

Whence came the custom OF
eating turkey at Thanksgiving
1t is related that on one Of the
Thanksgiving Days III New
England, the corn and b riley
having yielded a rich return,
four hunters were sent out to
procure wild fowl to lningle
with the grain in the feast.
They returned with an abund-
ance of turkeys. Thereafter
turkey became the Thanksgiv-
ing fowl.
For many years the people had
observed all annual day of

Moilie'S Little Ram

Mollie had a little ram as black
as a rubber shoe, and everywhere
that Mollie Went he elnigrated
too. He went with her to church
one day, the folks hilarious grew,
to see him walk demurely into
Deacon Aliens pew. The worthy
deacon quickly let his angryIpas-
sion rise and gave it an un-
christian kick between the sad
brown eyes.
This landed ralnny i'll the
aisle: the deacon followed fast,
and raised his foot again, alas!
that first kick was his last. For
Mr.. Sheep walked slowly back,
about rod It's said, and ere the
deacon could retract, he stood
him on his head.
The congregation all arose
and went for that ere sheep;
several we'll directed butts just
placed them in a heap. Then
rushed they straightway for
the door, grumbling long
and loud, while ra1nmy struck
the hindmost man, and showed
him through the crowd.
The minister had often heard
that kindness would subdue the
hercest beast. "Ahha," he said
"I'll try that little game on you
And so he kindly, gently called
"Come ramny, rammy, ram, tc
see the folks abuse you so
l grieved and sorry am"
The ram quite dropped hi:
humble air. and droppedfrom of
his feet and when the parsor
anded, he was in the hindmos
seat. And as he shot out OF the
door and closed it with a slam
he named a California town,

MURDERED AND ROBBED.
A WELL-KNOWN CITIZEN OF AU-

AMONG WEEDS.

Saturday night at s o'clock on
one of the principal streets Of
Aurora, Beaufort county. n. G..
about forty yards from J. w.
Chapins gate, and the same dist
ance from his own, some one
shot down John B. Bonner kill
ing him, it is supposed, instantly,
but h. was not found until Sun
day morning about suu-up. He
was shot in the left side, the ball
passing through the body. The
other shot was in the forehead, 3,
making a wound as large as a
silver dollar. He was picked
up and thrown over the fence in
the weeds.
He is a man with a host Of
friends and the shock to the com
munity is great. There is no
suspicion on any yet. Blood
hounds have been sent for and
everything will be done to catch
the guilty parties.
Tracks were found leading
from the body towards the creek.
Everything valuable was taken
from the body with the exception
of a ring.
Mr.. Bonner was engaged i'll
the banking and brokerage busi-
ness and was a vestryrnan in the
Episcopal Church. He was
worth considerable property and
did much for the advancement of
his part of the country. He
leaves nine children.
This is the second murder to
occur in that part of the country

Punished For Eating
Onions.

Miss Foster, a school teacher
of Pecatonica, Illinois, severely
whipped pupil recently because
the odor of onions was on his
breath. The children of the
school promptly rebelled against
the introduction of the rod as
punishment for eating onions,
and all have eaten raw onions
at every school-day meal since.
The parents of the children have
taken up the cause, and now
nearly all the inhabitants of the
town are eating onions.
