faces.

From the LIST to the 31st of January
the days lengthen one hour and twenty
five minutes. In February they gain
one hour and forty-fve minutes. The
month Of March adds two hours and
thirty-six minutes. April, one hour
and nine minutes. May, two hours and
twenty minutes. June, but nine min
utes. 1t will thus be seen that the
month of March makes the greatest
gain, while the month of June makes
the smallest, its gain being but nine
minutes, which is made between the LIST
and 18th.

Our town Will lose, in a few days
Edwin Mann, the Cashier Of the Green.
brier Valley Bank, who goes to Blue.
field to accept the presidency of the
First National Bank of Bluefield, to
which position he was recently elected
to fill the vacancy caused by the resig-
nation of Mr.. Jas. +. Mann, (another
Greenbrler man, who was forced to
retire on account of his health. Mr..
Edwin Mann comes well up to the ideal
bank officer, and the loss of an efficient
Cashier and excellent citizen is cause
for lamentation to our business men
and people generally. Blueiield only
recently took from us Mr.. Walter Pol
lock. and we could wish they had been
content without farther robbery of us.
Mr.. Ed. Johnson, of the firm of john
son & Gwinn, has been elected Cashier
of the Greenbrier Valley Bank in the
place of Mr.. Mann, and has entered
upon the discharge Of his duties.
1t would be well if our two banks
could consolidate. There would be no
difficulty in the way of this if the stock
holders could be assured that the con-
solidated bank would in no way affect
their interests.
North Anderson has suffered loss from
set of chicken thieves until there is
some talk of organizing a whitecap
club. You need not be surprised to
hear that the hctoral rods of Judge
Lynch have been welting the hides Of
some evil-doers. Endurance is ceasing
to be virtue.
Miss Carrie Alexander, bright,
sparkling girl from the Kanawha Val
ley, is visiting the home of Mr.. James
Mann. Miss Carrie is known in your
place as a student of your Female Semi
nary. BY the way, mention of that in
stitution reminds me to say that it's
friends through the country have been
much gratilied that Rev. Mr.. Telford
abides with it. They feel that he has
made a sacrifice for it, when he declined
the call to Lexington.
Mr.. John Clay and wife have returned
after an extensive trip through Oregon,
California and Colorado, and have gone
to housekeeping in North Anderson.
We are sorry to learn of the death of
Mr.. j. ID. Thompson, good farmer
and citizen who lived about five miles
northwest of Anderson. Mr.. Thompson
came to this nelghborhood from Poca-
hontas county about ten years ago. He
had just nursed two sons through ty-
phoid fever, and we suppose he was a
victim of the same disease.
Our citizens elected a Mayor who de-
clined to serve, and Mr.. John Bright
was appointed to that position by the
Council. In consequence some of the
bad boys engaged at cards did not know
that he was Mayor. and invited him to
take a hand when he accidentally came
upon them at their sport. Mr.. Bright
did take a hand, and the boys now know
that he is Mayor.
