IN THE
TOWNS
Where people make use of their
banks, depositing their money
and paying bills by check, you will
find a progressive, "Get-there"
spirit which stands for the upbuilding
of that town and community.
?feis is our home and we take
an active interest in watching and
aiding nit: material prvofjcutjr ui
both town and surrounding country.
We would like to see every
man and woman, particularly
every farmer and every man
working for wages in this community,
start a bank account?it
would mean a better town, a better
market, a better county.
Will you join us in this work?
The amount of your first deposit
isn't so material as the fact of
making a start now?in the

Among the prominent visitors

paid us a very pleasant call while in

Rev Simon T Russell of Bloomingvale
called to see us yesterday. It
was a melancholy pleasure to see our
old-time friend. His health is so impaired
as to necessitate his relinquishing
his pastoral work, which is
hard indeed for one who has labored
so long and earnestly in the vineyard
of the Master.

many visitors were here Monday
chat it is impossible to even attempt
to name them. We shook
hands with at least a hundred
friends, many of whom we had not

We enjoyed this part of the programme
more than anything else
perhaps.
Mr Cecil Jacobs, who until recently
held a responsible position with
Louis Cohen & Co of Charleston, is
here on a visit to his parents. Mr
Jacobs informs us that he and Mr R
H Brown of Charleston have leased
the Atlantic Beach Hotel for the
season and will conduct that popular
island resort during the summer
months. Mr Jacobs is a young man
of exceptional business acumen and
is quite popular, both of which qualifications
are highly essential in the
management of a hotel. All his
friends bespeak for him pleasure and
profit in his new venture.

for something better,and by helping
us you profit thereby, and by benefiting
you we gain thereby.

; Warming Up for August Primary
I ?Some Prospective Candidates.
While this is an off-year in State
and county politics, the political
cauldron is hy no means undisturbed
locally, for the municipal election
looms largely in the immediate
future and the aforesaid cauldron is
beginning to seethe and lxu! very
perceptibly indeed.
The municipal primary?which
is tantamount to election?comes
off in August, and if curb-stone

lively campaign is full of promise.
The offices to l?e filled are a Mayor
and six Aldermen, and quite a
number of gentlemen have been
suggested as prospective or appropriate
candidates in l>oth contests.
Naturally the chief interest is centred
in the Mayor's race. As Mayor
Gilland, the incumbent, has announced
his intention of not offering
for further honors, it lets down
the bars for a free-for-all race with
no initial advantage or handicap,
and this contest promises to be a
pretty one indeed, especially if all the
candidates suggested should make
the race. Up to this time we have
heard of four probable or possible
candidates, for Mayor, viz: Messrs
A M Gordon, L P Kinder,R J Kirk
and Thomas McCutchen. Messrs
Kinder and McCutchen are now
members of the council and we are
positively informed that both are
in the race to a finish. The other
two gentlemen named, so far as we
we know, have not yet formally announced
their candidacy.
While the office of council-man
is not genera lly considered a bonanza,
yet when election time comes
around there is usually by no means
a dearth of aspirants for the honors

to, and from present indications,
this year will not be an exception.
Albeit we have heard no definite
announcement from any candidate
for Alderman, it would be by no
means surprising if the following
gentlemen, some if not all of them,
should yield to the solicitations of
their friends and offer for the office:
Messrs M A Ross. Carol Burgess, M
H Jacobs, H E Montgomery, P S
Courtney, \V R Scott, E L Fishburne
and Dr Taylor. Out of this
number we think a very excellent
council could be nominated.
