Young Lady Tells How She Made
Fortune.

(The DayidsOEian.)

(Ihe D~aEidSOEian.)
Miss Anna Bynum, a niece of Judge
Bynum, Of Greensboro, daughter of
the late John Bynun1, of Stoke county,
went to Oklahoma five years ago to
work as a s~tenographer. The follow
ing dispatch from Oklahoma City
about her is interesting:
There is just one way to make
money. You must have faith. Having
made up our mind you must back
your Judgment with a plunge.
This is the advice of Anna Bynum,
the young s~tenographer who made
$50, 900 in three months recently out
of Oklahoma City real estate.
In November, 1909, Anna Bynun
was working as a s~tenographer for
the Morris Company, packers, when
the conIpany's holding in the recently
established packing town were put
upon the market. Lots Ole for q
small sum down and small monthly
payment. Miss Bynum resigned her
position and in competition with many
real estate firms started out to sell
lots on commission. In two weeks her
commissions amounted to $1,000. This
money she invested in PacklngtoWn
land and in less than three months
the value of her holdings had reached
the $50, 900 mark
Now hundreds of women are asking
Miss Bynum how she did it.

that he is IN such good health now.
IN an interview with a reporter Of

the veterans Of this State may wish to
know. In regard to this he said:
The invitation to our veterans for
the reunion at Norfolk was extended
at a joint meeting Of the Board OF
Trade and the Business Mems Asso-
citation of that city. While it may
seem strange hat the North Carolina
veterans who hold their reunion in a
city OF another State, yet our Norfolk
neighbors claim that there are nearly
10000 North CarolinianS residing in
that city and its suburbs; SO that Il

Free entertainment viii be provided
for all veterans who are unable to
pay for their meals and lodging, and
it is especially important hat those
veterans who wish to be entertained
free should at once notify Mr.. Joseph
a. Hall, Secretary, at Norfolk, so that
ample accommodations can be pro-
vided for them.
Side trips to the seashore resorts
near Norfolk Will be among the pleas
ures and attractions of this reunion,
and various entertainments will be
given for the pleasure OF the veter-
ans. Those who attend are promised
the trip of their lives" and a good
time may be expected by all who
are so fortunate as to attend this re-

ct is hoped and expected that
there will be a very large attendance
of our Tar Heel veterans; for it may
