Sc curity and Change,

"The instinct to lay by stores for "a
rainy day" is the instinct of self pres
ervation and of civilization. 1t has led
to the development of life insurance
companies and banks and savings in.
stitutions of all kinds. 1t leads the
well to do to forego high rates of inter-
est in order that the income from their
wealth may be as certain and secure
possible. 1t Is this same instinct that
leads careful persons of limited means
to turn to the Government as the only
absolutely safe custodian for their
small savings.
In establishing postal savings banks
a nation carries its people forward a
step in civilization, inasmuch as it Is
giving to them an additional security
against misfortune. A person who puts
his savings into the post Office bank
will know that when hardship and
"ohs O'cAthhO htus Wuotu0E ucCdub6
OF misfortune or declining years, his
money will be forthcoming. The fact
that there is such safe place of de.
posit provided will induce many to
make provision against future want
who otherwise would permit them
selves to become charges upon society
when misfortune overtakes them or
when old age finds them unprepared to
earn support by their labor.
To the persons for whom the postal
savings bank is intended the rate Of in.
terest paid on deposits is Of minor i'm
portance. What such persons want
above everything else Is absolute secu-
rity against loss. They want to elimi-
nate from life the danger that in their
declining years they may find them.
selves without the means OF sustaining
existence.
Congress should establish q system
OF postal savings banks for the people
OF the United States without further
unnecessary delay. Chicago Record.

drizzly, rainy day, but still the rain
did not dampen the ardor of the peo.
pie who wanted to see the hanging; 80
there was big crowd in town that
day. Sheriff Crouch had summoned
guard of 200 men and they formed
in q hollow square in the street, be.
tween where s. H. Anderson now lives
and the Jail. The prisoner was brought
out OF the upper door of the jail and
came out Of the Jail yard about where
the coal house now is and got into the
wagon in the street between Ander.
sons and the Jail. The procession
turned off at the Armstrong corner and
went up the old road leading by G. B.
Thomas and Ben Keebler's, and over
the hill by Esq. Young's place to the
hollow beyond. where the execution
took place.
Worley Embree, the Clerk above
mentioned, was also Methodist min.
lister, and he and Rev. Martin Kitz.
miller held services at the gallows.
The prisoner wore white should, and
stood up on his coffin while the rope
was tied to the cross beam above him.
The wagon was then driven from
under him and he swung into eternity.
Jacob Baxter, living near Washing.
ton College, and Richard D. Patton, of
this place, were on duty as guards that
day.
1t will lack just one week Of being
forty nine years from the time Dave
Deakins was hanged until the day
fixed for the execution of Isham Sims.

POSTAL BANKS AT WASHINGTON.
Two Interviews with Prominent Official who
EnYOr Them

Two Interviews with IL Prominent Official who
Favor Them.
Assistant Secretary Spaulding, of the
Treasury Department at Washington,
was interviewed on the subject of pos.
tai savings banks the other day by a
Chicago Record correspondent. He
said:
II do not think the Government
ought to enter the banking business in
competition with private parties, but
the postal savings bank need not do
this. AS | understand the purpose of
the advocates of this system, it is to
accommodate certain small depostors
who could not in most cases reach
banks and who deposte their small
earnings under present conditions. If
this system reaches such people it will
prove great benefit to them. Postal
savings banks open way for insig.

come of ,appreciable value to the de-
positors. In this way such banks are
an incentive for economy and induce
thrift. Self respect accompanies the
possession of little money, and such
system, therefore, tends to better
citizenship. 1t also tends to place con.
siderable money at the disposal of the
Government which otherwise would be
lost both to the Government and the
citized. 1t seems to me that the plan
ought to be worked out to great advan-
tage to everybody concerned
Third Assistant Postmaster General
Merritt said to the same correspondent:
THE people should be encouraged
in habits of thrift and economy, and no
better way of accomplishing that re-
suit will be devised than by Offering
them perfectly secure and reliable
savings bank, where small deposits
can be placed at in terest. The habit of
economy once formed will rapidly
grow and spread, and postal savings
banks will prove success from the
day they are established in this coun.
try.

To be dragged down to an early

ment is not an enviable fate, and yet
thousands submit to this fate without
a struggle. People can not learn too
soon that coughs and colds and affec.
tions of the throat and chest can not
be safely neglected. The most fatal
disease known to physicians have their
inception 10 these disorders. 1t is easy
to cure cold. 1t is impossible to
cure consumption. One follows the

Not in the history OF the boot and shoe

was something of an epoch IN the t'St So

The large shipment of yesterday Is
largely due TO the work OF MT l'ahshSrne

In addition. they shipped to the state Of
Arkansas one solid car loaded with Bat

In total q train OF fifteen or more cars.
This is indeed. an encouraging display.
Messrs. Stephen Putney * Co. are

one grand floor space. No time Is lost
with elevators no waste OF labor IN climb
