THRIFTY FOREIGNERS

THRIFTY FOREIGNERS
 According to the statement of the Falls Village Savings Bank officials some portions of their list of de- positors must resemble the lists of a cen- sus taker in foreign city. It Is sad commentary on the saving proclivlties of the native born citizens that they are greatly ill the minority among savings | bank depositors. The Italians and the | Frenchmen and the Swedes who come to this country are ''out for the dough and although they may earn small wages, they manage to get a large DOT ton of the money into the banks and when they return to their native land they have both pockets full of the coin of the realm. We do not wish to be un- derstood as making the statement that the foreigners are the only ones who have sizeable accounts i'll the savings banks but as a rule their habits of syste matic saving are more pronounced than those of the natives who perhaps do not l keep i'll mind as constantly as they ought that old saying about the rainy day.
 | THE MAN BEHIND THE RAKE
 When THE NEWS man went sumter
 
 came across Judge Gruber, rake ill hand at work in the street in front of his resi- dence The Judge has put i'll many hours of labor on his premises since he acquired the deed to the same and has produced a general effect that IS most pleasing and never fails to catch the eye of the passer- by. The broad piazza, the hedge of Norway Spruce which borders the lawn, the Crimson Rambler roses which climb skyward against the porch, the plant and shrub here and there, to- gether with the well kept lawn, combine to form an inviting spot. Inside the house everything is as cozy and comfor- table as one might desire and 1t IS no wonder MT. Gruber and his estimable better half regret each year the coming of the frosts and the blasts of the wintry winds, indicating that the time for their return to the metropolitan home is at hand.
 FALLS VILLAGE FEET
 Someone has said that the reason that more people don't come to Falls Village is because the feet of those already here cover all the ground. This isn't true and was said by someone who IS envl- ous of the many attractions here. True it is that the above mentioned feet cover
