The next act will be thirty minutes of sleight-of-hand, by Mr. Loring. This will consist of some il lusions as performed by Kelalr, Her mann and other magicians.

ILDINC, FOST OFFICE- bis A Gaffney Dentist Complimented. The Cleveland Dental Association met in regular semi-annual session at Shelby, N. C., February 13-14. The meeting was a most pronounced suc cess. The Cleveland Star, in report ing the meeting, pays the following j compliment to Dr. “Billy” Gunter: “The association was exceedingly I fortunate in having present Dr. W. IG. Gunter, of Gaffney, S. C., who is an expert artist in filling teeth with Ascher’s artificial enamel. This ma terial is comparatively new and Is fast taking the place of g^ld espe cially in front teeth where the color | of gold is so conspicuous. This enamel filling can be made the same color of the teeth and the filling that Dr. Gunter put in could not be detect- ! ed from the surrounding teeth sub; stance three feet distant. This ma- j terial bids fair not only to replace gold but also the much talked of por^ celain filling; it lasts and looks as well as porcelain.” Honors For congressman Finley. A Washlngton| special of February 19, to the News^nd Courier, contain ed the following; As stated in press dispatches to the News and Courier, South Carolina has again been honor ed by having one of her representa tives in congress appointed to high position.

He realises the fact that monej is an absolute necessity if he intends to riso in the world. A little study convinces him that only through a bank account can he at tain future prosperity and he plans his ac tions accordingly. A small sum will suffice for the opening of a bank account, and it leads to all good things in financial way. It establishes credit, insures the learning of business methods and the respect of business men. Open an account with this bank to day aud lay the foundation of a fortune. - j ! DIRECTORS J. N.
