HOME DAMAGED BY FIRE

The residence property of j. Mel
Graham caught FIRE about two O'Clock
last Thursday afternoon and pinch
damage was done to the hous and
contents before the flames We en-
ally extinguished. V
The discovery of the fire wnnlade
Just In time to save the budding and
contents from total destruction. Mr..
and Mrs. Graham were planning to
come up town. Mrs. Graham went
to an upstairs room tor q pair Of
gloves when she discovered the
front part of the roof In . blaze of
fire. She and Mr.. Graham at once
proceeded to take the contents from
the upstairs rooms, but the flames
made such rapid Roadway that their
work soon had to be abandoned.
The flremen arrived on the scene
of action In time to check the fire but
not until the upper part Of the house
was pretty we'll consumed. It is hard
to estimate the damage but the
house was insured for $1,000 and the
contents for $500. 1t is expected the
insurance viii practically cover the
loss. ...- +

of Mrs. Chas. Wilde Tuesday after

being Financing the Home" She
handled the subject very nicely and
many points of interest were brought

A delightful surprise was given
in the way Of musical numbers being
rendered. Two duets by Mrs. Wilde
and Miss Goldie Sheets, were fully
enjoyed. Miss Tilda Schmidt rendered
pretty selections on the violin ac-
companied by Miss Sheets on the
piano. The songs by the three Wilde

SEWERS CONNECTION
WITH NEWSPAPER

H. J. Savage, who for more than
five years. has labored faithfully
and diligently as the local reporter
on the Republican severed his con-
nection with the publication Satur-
day evening. Now that we have a
linotype, and the operator having
gained considerable speed, it became
necessary for US to readjust the
working force of the Office. We were
long on outside help but short on in
side help and in making the change
we were compelled to let Mr.. Savage
out. His place is being filed by the
editor himself and Mr.. Berman the
foreman, is given the assistance of
S. L. Sherman, printer of many
years experience.
Mr.. Savage Is considered one of
the best reporters that ever gathered
news on the local newspapers. He is
always on the Job and is constantly
looking after the best interests OF
those by whom he Is employed. Hs
is not afraid of work, and it will not
be long until he IL salolY. lodged ID
some other position: nc prefers tht
work for which he Is so well adapted
and may seek q position elsewhaee

BOOK KEEPING
MACHINE MsTALLED

The First National Bank OF Audu-
bon has. recently installed . Bur
roughS Posting machine. This ma
chine does the work Of the old adding
machines and in addition posts the
ledgers and enables the bank to furn-
ish its customers with q detailed
statement of account on the first OF
each month, or at any time that the
depositor wishes his account bal
anced.
Heretofore the clerks when post
ing the ledgers had to make list
Of checks on each account, then a
list Of deposits. add each list separ-
ately and then subtract to get q bal
ance. This II accomplished In one
operation by the new machine. It
prints dates. adds old balances and
deposits, subtracts checks, computes
and prints balances and autom9tical-
~ detects overdrafts. All the opera
tor has to do is to put down the
amounts and the machine does the
rest.
The bank will continue the use of
the pass book and the new balance
will be entered in the pass book the
same as formerly. In addition the
customer receives q legible, attrac-
tive balance sheet which gives the
changes in his account in detail,
These statements are always up to
date. so the customer can have his
checks returned and his account bal
anced at any time without delay. I'm
der the old system it is very dihicult
to balance pass books at the first Of
each month without considerable de-
lay. With the statement system
the work can be so planned that It
will he distributed through the
month. ike
Different book keepers run the
ledgers and statements. The state
ment balances are each day called
back and checked against the ledger
balances. This proves correctness
OF the posting and also detects any
errors OF debiting or crediting the
wrong account. Under the old sys-
tenn 1t is impossible to detect errors
of charging or crediting accounts
until the pass books are balanced.
The First National will take pleas
ure in showing this machine in oper-
alton to anyone calling and asking
to see 1t.
