WITH MISSISSIPPI BANK

Mr.. Bunch relates that he was the
assistant cashier Of the First state Bank
OF Pittsboro when TINT institution went
TO the wall last summer. The cause of
the banks failure. Mr.. Bunch says. was
the abscondinr Of W. r Williams. then
sheriff OF Calhoun County. who was
indebted to the bank TO the extent of
$4,000. Bunch says ne remained in
Pittsboro month after the bank closed
its doors. He AYERS that when he left
everything was properly checked, up.
MIR Bunch SAYS further that the in
dictment and warrant for his arrest are
astonishing 10 him, for the reason that
his accounts were pronounced accurate
and satisfactory at the time he left
Fittshoro. and because he has been in
frequent communication by mail with
persons living in the town since his de-
parture.

LOVE OF PET
Dog I~nconsolable Since Invalid Mis-
tres Died.

Hudson, Oct 30.-An interesting
story of canine devotion comes from
the Frisbie home in Lincoln county.
The Frisbie family pet for some years
had been a water spaniel, known as
Brownie. which the family raised
from a puppy.
The animal was an especial favor
lite of Mrs. Bernice Shaft, a member
OF the household. who died about a
week ago. She had been an Invalid
for years and the water spaniel had
during the period OF her illness been
her constant companion. The dog al
ways slept In her room at night and
also was her companion during the
day while she sat In an invalid's
chair.
Since the death of his mistress the
dog has carried on in an unusual
manner giving every evidence of
grief because of the absence OF Mrs.
Shaft. The animal puts in most Of
the time wandering about the house.
from room to room. apparently In
search of his mistress. accompanying
its wanderings by mournful whining.
The faithful dog refuses to eat,
the daintiest morsels falling to tempt
him, and apparently Is dying of a
broken heart.

DRUNKEN LUCK
Illustrating Acrobatic Possibilities OF
Liquor.

Spearfish. Oct. 30.-Information
that a supposed dead man was en-
tangled In a wagon a few miles from
town caused a number of Spearfish
men to hurry to the scene. There
they discovered a team OF horses
standing In the road, attached to a
light spring wagon. The mar who
had been driving the team lay with
his body wedged in between the front
wheel and the wagon box, with his
head hanging over the doubletrees
close to the horses heels. The sup
posed dead man was found to be
alive, but sleeping the deep sleep
brought on by overindulgence in Ii
quor. He was extricated from his
dangerous position and soon recover
ed. How he escaped death either
from his dangerous position. or from
being kicked in the head by the
horses, is a mystery.

The Unexpected

One Knocked at death for being strong of
limb
And fearless. death no terrors had for
him:
From out my course l shall not move
n jot.
Let him approach at will: l fear him
notl'
Yet. when the conaueror whom he thought
TO meet
AS man meets man, erect upon his feet,
Came creeping In long twilight shad-
ows. he
Fell on his knees and writhed in agony.
Another. not self confident. but frail.
Feared death from his youth upward;
cen would quail
At every shadow which upon his path
Seemed pointing toward him in Its somber
wrath.
Yet. when death came. not wrapped In
heightened gloom
As all life long this man expected doom.
But sudden I'm the sunlight. not a trace
or fear remained: he met him face to
face.
