ing from tn" top Of the iiagpole on Cam

AFFAIR was laid to a secret society which
i supposed to exist At Harvard under
the name Of the Med Fac" The skele-
ton was attached to n piece of black
cloth about two yards long ana the rome
was securely twisted 50 that il was i'm
possible TO take il down. It remained
there all day.
Some suspicion is directed to a man

An Up to Date JeweIer.

WELLS, MATCHMAKER, EN-
GRAVER, OPTICIAN AND
EXPERT HOROLOGIST.-
HIS PLANS FOR NEXT SEA-
son.
"There is a solution to every
problem in mechanical horology
and since beginning my study OF
the subject and practical ex-
perience in the work, some u
years ago, l have never once
allowed myself to fail in finding
that solution or in accomplishing
satisfactorily the practical work
connected with the problem. In
other words, l have never allowed
problem in the mechanics con-
nected with matchmaking, or other
branches of my business, to 60
unsolvel and have never failed to
do satisfactorily anything, how
ever complicated or difficult, in the
way of repairing that | have been
called upon to do"
This is what N. D. Wells, watch
maker, jeweler and optician has to
saw of his own work and it is to
this principle, to which he has
strictly adhered from the start,
that he attributes his success. MIR.
Wells, who is native of the state,
born in johnson county in 1857,
came to Southern Pines, Septem-
Der %, 1900, and since then has
built up thriving and excellent
business and counts among his
patrons the people Of Aberdeen,
Pinebluf, Vass, Cameron, Pine
hurst, taeford, Roseland, Manly,
Sanford, and other surrounding
towns as we'll as fair share Of the
people Of Southern Pines. He is
successful optician, expert IN it,
ting and adjusting lenses and in
making examinations Of impaired
eye-sight; selling spectacles,
glasses etc., at a fair margin of
profit and making no charge for
the work of examination and fitting.
He handles an extensive line Of all
kinds of jewelry and watches and
makes a speciality of Southern
Pines souvenirs in the ,jeWelry
line. He IS also an expert en-
yraver and does some very artistic
and attractive original work. He
is the sole agent here for the
Croker Fountain Pen, the latest
and best thing Of its kind now on
the market; it is fitted with an
inside soft rubber suction tube
which makes it self-flling and
self cleansing, and keeps it per-
tectly clearly and convenient to
handle; another excellent feature
