Bought a Home.

II we sometimes entertain agels unawares
1t is certain that we have amongst people
with money, where we least expect TO find 1t.
A case In. point Last week q good wife and
mother with her husband and their children
bought a house and lot in town. The build
ing is q brick structure and stands opposite
the one mile post beyond the cotton mill
from town. The buyer is Mrs. Mary Ella
Edmonds, the wife Of Mr.. c. H. Edmonds.
They and their children have been employed
at the cotton mill for several years. Mrs.
Edmonds was made treasurer Of the house.
hold, and she 80 carefully kept the money
that no one knew how much she had.
When the papers were made out for the
house all were surprised at the ready cash
which she produced. The household now
nave a nice home of their own, a home
which they earned by honest toll, and their
friends extend good wishes for their health
for their happiness, and for their future sue
cess in life. Worthy children who will grow
to become useful citizens contributed largely
to the purchase, and by their noble efforts
the remainder of the purchase money will be
paid.
The success of this people furnishes ar
OUJeCL leSsOQ. Wudl luey udNS dOue, OtueI
can do, il the proper effort is made. Quite q
number of good people at the cotton mil
have saved money and invested 1t in good
property, which goes to show the value o
manufacturing enterprises and further shows
that many a struggling man or woman coult
gain a home, If only the opportunity fU
profitable and constant employment present
ed itself.
We do not know how long Mrs. Edmonds
has kept this money about her person, blu
the risk Of tossing 1t was great. In these days
money is much safer In any banB
than it is about the person Of any
body or in any trunk. AS the law now
stands lit Is almost impossible for 8
depositor TO lose his money. All the stock
ofth bank is bound for 1t, and the stock
holders can be made to pay an amount in
cash equal to their stock before any deposition
can lose one cent.
While We think everybody should lay by
a little money for a rainy day, yet we think
it is a mistake to keep it elsewhere than in
q bank.

change department is a feature. All
sorts of things are offered for exchange
and the swapping opportunities would
delight the soul of an old fashioned
Yankee. The following advertisement
which appeared lately is out of the
common: Furniture - An antique
Welsh oak dresser and six Chippendale
chairs would entertain a Sheraton side

vertisement London paper says: rs

sionally receive their friends in the
