FOR HITCHING LOT

A movement was launched in the
Chamber of Commerce on Thursday

free hitching lot in Columbus.
The matter was presented to the
Board of Directors, and after much
discussion (which revealed tremen-
dous sentiment in favor Of hitching
facilities) President J. w, Lipscomb
appointed the following committee to
appear before the City Council and
request that the city authorities take
some steps in the matter; Mr.. l. |.
Kaufman, Mr.. V. B, lines, and Mr..
II. NJ. Pratt.
During the discussion of the matter
it developed that the old warehouse
property on the block in front of
the Gilmer Hotel was available for
use as a hitching lot. 1t is owned by
Mr.. Ira l.. CASTOR, and he readily
consented to allow the property to be
used for this purpose.

CHRISTMAS CLUB
OPENS XMAS EVE
Merchants x Farmers Bank Offers
This Nest Popular Form
OF Saving.

I've officers and directors Of the
Merchants & Farmers Bank of this
city, ever alert to the best interests
of the community, and recognizing
the lasting effects of the teaching Of
thrift, have installed Christmas
Savings Cluh~ Ilas clph-giYe every
one chance to save regularly, for
the bank is willing to accept small
amounts. Boys and girls are invited
to become members, as the bank rec
ognizes the fact that the savings hab-
it needs to be fostered in this com
munity. Once the youthful mind
realizes how easy it is to save, and
how very pleasant feeling it is to
have money in the bank, the savings
habit will become lifelong.
A large number of people, whether
their incomes are large or small, find
it difficult to "get ahead " financial
ly. They postpone the time when
they will start saving to provide for
the rainy day because they never seem
to have enough spare money to start
a bank account. The Christmas Club
is great benefit to people in this
way, for they don't need any more
capital to get started than the first
small payment; and, after all, the
start is the most important thing.
Although the first club payment is
due December 22nd, members may
now join and make their initial pay
ment. The club will run fifty weeks,
so that each member will receive a
check in time for next Christmas
shopping. When payments are reg
ularly made, interest is allowed.
Several plans are offered-one to
fit each need. Ordinary bank books
are not needed in carrying the Christ
mas Club accounts, as the bank is
using patented card system in which
the record of payments is made by
punching cards. This not only gives
the club member a receipt, but also
shows exactly how much has beer
paid in to date and the exact tim,
and amount Of future dues, and does
away with the possibility Of errors.

automobile standing to one side of
the street, and in order to avoid col
lision with the car he steered the big
fire truck to one side of the narrow
thoroughfare. The front wheel began
to slip into the side ditch, and quick
turn caused the rear end of the truck
to skid.
Mr.. Mcdowell was standing on the
running board, and as the fire truck
skidded it smashed into a fire-plug,
and he was caught in the smash-up.
The running board of the truck was
badly damaged, but other than this
the truck was unframed. The run to
the fire was continued, and Mr.. Me-
Dowell was rushed to the Columbus
Hospital for treatment.
