Did it ever occur to you why all good
0
men keep a checking account with a
bank? We’ll tell you. It enables
r
them to keep their funds in a more se-
e
cure place than the office safe. It
gives them a better standing in the
B
business world. It enables them to
pay their bills by check, the returned
di
check being an undisputable receipt.
n
Individuals find a checking account
k
very convenient and a source of sav
ing. Money in one’s pocket is often
T
spent on the spur of the moment,
while one is disposed to think twice
a
before drawing on his balance in the
i
bank. Lay up for a rainy day.

In the item last week in regard to
the Spake place we inadvertently
made an error. It should have read
“Mrs. C. B. and John P. Spake have
sold to .1. F. Spake the farm four
miles South of the city.’’ It’s awfully
hard to keep from making errors in
a printing office.

wagon which was occupying about one-
half of the street, separating the ;
shafts from the buggy and ’pulling ;
Mr. Lackey over the dash-board,
throwing him to the ground, but for-
tunately not injuring him. Becom- !
ing loose the horses started at a !
break neck speed up the street toward i
the railroad tracks. A buggy belong- ,
ing to Mr. Joe, Phillips, driven by !
Simp Patterson, eolored, an employe,
accompanied by a small son of Mr.
Phillips, were crossing the tracks and
were startled by one of the running
horses jumping Into the buggy and
throwing both the occupants out, and
fortunately both reached the ground
in safety. The mule belonging to the
Phillips buggy was frightened by the
other horses, started to run dragging
