The festive sfim TANNER has not
yet found out that Raleigh people
know what's what.
One Of this gentry Of travelling
change gatherers tried his little game
at the money order window at the Rail
eigh post-offiee yesterday. But Mr.
Phil. II. Andrews was ION TO his
curves and the game was blocked in
short order
He FIRST bought a money order for
$50. on DanFiIle. Va, and paid for il
with the correct change.
lie handed out ten-dollar bill 10
pay the fee OF three cents for the mon
ev order Mr. Andrews gave him back
in change a FIVE dollar bill and four
dollars and ninety-seyen cents in sill
yer.
He placed three cents on the pile Of
silver. and pushed il back toward the
clerk.
"Will you kindly give me tiH. dol
lar bin for that?' be asked politely.
Mr. andrews accommodatingly laid
down a five dollar bill beside the pile
Of silver.
Vow. just give me a ten dollar bill
for that he said pushing the bill
and change toward the clerk
Right there MIR. Andrews caught on
to his little game He had seen the
"flim TANNER" at work before.
"The five dollar bin is mine, and the
silver Is yours. said Mr. Andrews;
Now, yoh take your change and make
tracks out Of here"
With that Mr.. Andrews brushed the
coins off the window to the floor.
Tie Sim faFnmer" got on his knees,
picked up tile silver. and left the

He is supposed to have remained in

And people who handle money had
best be careful how they make change

Church Dedication.

Fully twice as many people as could
be accommodated were at Watauga last
Sunday to attend the dedicatory cere-
monies of the United Brethren's church
at that place. 1t was a monster gath
ering and notable for the substantial
interest manifested by almost every
one present.
The dedicatory sermon was preached
by Rev. T. @. Carter, of Chattanooga,
and was one of this eminent divine's
best efforts. He also preached to a
large and attentive congregation at
night,
Rev. ID. J. Nelson, presiding elder.
Rev. s. S. Holden, pastor, took a deep
interest in the success of the ceremon-
les, as also did Revs. Maury and Gray,
former pastors.
A notable feature of the exercises
was the presence of large number OF
members of other denominations, who
made their presence felt by substan.
tial contributions. In truth, all pres
ent seemed to be possessed of spirit
of generosity, some of the largest con
tributors being members of Other
churches, and as a result the church il
free from debt.
A chorus of voices from Green coun
ty furnished splendid music for the oc
casion and were highly complimentet
for their efficiency.
The weather was sufficiently pleas
ant to make the day enjoyable and th,
occasion most pleasing. In the Ian
guage of one who was present, it was
''big day all round"

ed to begin at once the cultivation of

donate the proceeds of the sale of such
flowers to the society. Any person out
side of the church membership may
compete for the prizes, provided they
will donate one half the proceeds of the
sale of their flowers to the society.
The show will be advertised through
out this section, and the ladies hope to
have an extensive patronage, and if
they succeed with this enterprise, to
make the flower show one of the annual
fall attractions to the city.
Mrs, VIM. Crawford is president of
the society, Miss Sophia Sparks is
treasurer, and Mrs. j. ID. Faucette is
secretary.
Any information can be gotten from

A jolly Crowd.

A special train of five cars, bearing
Washington City delegation to the
Tennessee centennial, passed through
at noon Sunday en- route to Nashville.
The party included several members OF
congress, number of correspondents,
and portion of the United States
Marine Band. The report that Presi-
dent Cleveland was aboard had gained
considerable currency, and when the
cars pulled into the city quite a crowd
had gathered to gaze upon the rotund
figure of the single-standard apostle.
All were doomed to disappointment,
however, and had to content them selves
with shaking hands with Ike Jobe.
Zone of our former citizens) and such
other friends as happened to be aboard,
While the train was "taking water"
the band treated those present to a
superb rendition of ''Dixie," after
which the jolly crowd sped on its way.
When the train had gone some one
began to inquire for the man who
started the report that Cleveland was
on board, but the guilty party was as
silent as Mckinley.
The correspondents were in charge
of Leland Rankin, of the Nashville
Banner, and were accompanied by their
wives and sisters,
