are not alone confined to the Rural Free Delivery o£mail
and the telephone. There is another convenience which
all farmers should have—and many do have—a checking
account with a good bank. The possessor of such an
account avoids the risk of having his monev on his per
son or about his home where it is in danger of fire and
thieves.
His bills paid by check are not only a valid receipt,
but also a convenience in his home transactions where
very often the necessary change for concluding a settle
ment is not at hand.
Don’t stop to think this over, but start an account

ty-nine days old. He leaves a wife

death. He was the father of twenty
children of which six are dead. He
had one hundred and fifty grand

seems that he never forgot what God
told Adam and Eve when they were
In the garden of Eden. God told them/
to be faithful and multiply.

months and five days when the death

He was a hard working man and a

can get things in shape. For the pre-,
sent he and Mrs. Dobson are stopping j
with his father. Mr. William Dobson. |
Mr. Dobson will be of great assls*-
ance to Senator Otts whose practice
has steadily grown since he came here
nine years ago. He has often felt the
need of a partner. Two years ago he
almost determined not to be a can
dldate for senator, on account of his
practice. He has a host of friends
and a large clientage which has made
a partner imperative.
The new firm will occupy the largo
suite of rooms over Carroll & Byers’
store on Limestone street, and will
rank as one of the strongest law firms
in the State.
