What Time The Clock Stopped,

What time the clock would stop
was a question Of absorbing in
terest at the store Of Jno. T.
Biggs & Co. yesterday afternoon.
In fact, it has been an interest
ing question for some days, for
this enterprising firm has inaugu-
rated the custom of giving out
tickets to purchasers Of goods to
the amount Of 81 or more. and
each ticket registers some time OF
day. Asclock that stands in the
store window is wound up to stop
Wednesday afternoon OF each
week, and the one present when
the clock is opened and holding
the ticket with the time nearest
to the actual time Of the stopp-
| ing of the clock will receive a
money prize, as will also the one
holding the second nearest. Yes
terday afternoon the clock stopp-
ed at 5 minutes and AZ seconds
after 4 o'clock. Mr.. G. M. Whit
field registered the time and ex-
amined the tickets of those pres
ent-and the store was crowded
and it was found that Tony
Rogers, colored, held the nearest
ticket and he received 81 cash.
John Clark of Back Swamp helc
the next nearest number and re-
| ceived 81.
1t was an interesting occasion
and the store will no doubt bt
crowded again when the cloci
lis opened next Wednesday.
