[Just for Convenience. [ Entirely apart from the many I other advantages of a Person al Checking Account at the Bank, the convenience of it is no small consideration. The ability to make purchases and pay bills after banking hours without the necessity of always having a pocketful of money is worth a?greatdeal. With a Check Book in your pocket, you are taking no risks of losing money and yet you always have all of your money .on hand and ready for use. ^ One is as liable to need money * before nine in the morning or after three as between those (hours. The Personal Check Book settles the matter. Ditiv nr u/N i iiuoDNDn DARK Ur VTILLIAIflODUnu KIN6STBEE, S. G. C W Stoll, Pres. F Rhem, V P. E G Efps, C W Boswell, Cashier. Asst.

Very near by there was eyi-j dences of a fish stew. The presump-! tion is with Mr Shaw, that a 4th of July fishing party camped there and finding they had no meat or greese with which to season their stew, killed the hog and cut out the missing 1 piece, the skin of which was found i on the camp ground along with fish bones and other evidences of what appears to be a dastardly perpetration. 5,000 New Kingstree Views, 5,000 Comic Post Cards, 500 Tally Cards with tassels, etc, for your whist parties. 7-10-tf Brockington's Drug Store.

A Ptatoir* That May Haw the Death of tha ArtiaL In his bookB about "St. John^ Wood" Mr. Alan Montgomery Eyre recalls some of the many stories of Sir Edwin Landseer. who was a resident of that part of London for half a century. Landseer was clever as an animal painter, but he was none the less skillful as a painter of portraits. A suggestion was once made to Sydney Smith that he should sit for his portrait to Landseer. The ready reply was, "Is thy servant a dog that he should do this thing ?" Another equally well known story is that which tells that the painter had remarked to the witty dignitary of the church, "With your love of humor it must be an act of gTeat self denial to abstain from going to theaters." "The managers," replied ^fmith, "are very polite. They send me free admissions, which I can't U9e, and in return I send them free admissions to St. Paul's 1" ?3ir r.uwiu was msuain tcij ucnous about exhibiting his work to anybody, and his friend, G. D. Leslie, says: *1 had expressed my admiration for a beautifully painted group of dead ptarmigan, hares, etc., in a picture of his, which also contained , many people's portraits. The next morning I was extremely astonished and mortified at finding the whole group rubbed out, some rooks and heather being substituted in its place. I asked him why he had done this, as the group had appeared to me so excellently painted. He replied: "Yes, that's just it. I am not going to have the fellows say how much better I can paint fur and feathers than flesh!" - -! XL. 11 1 lma picture was me wen uivwu one of the royal family and a group of Highland attendants. From 1854 to 1870 Landseer was "continually altering, scraping out and repainting this picture until the surface was completely ruined." "I feel sure," adds Leslie, "that the trouble Landseer had over this picture did more than anything else to hasten his death."?Westminster Gazette. I Th? Sundial. Among the ornaments of lawn or garden the 6undial is one of tfce most interesting. It is interesting not merely from its novelty, few persons having ever seen one, but from its antiquity as well. The center of the garden may be' the most convenient position in which to place it. In plowing the garden the part on which it sets can be taken up and afterward replaced. If on the lawn a location must be selected that is free from shade. While it "numbers only sunny hours," it may recall sunny remembrances of some friend whose skill may have fashioned it or is in some way connected with it, though he himself has passed in to the enduring light of the better land.?National Stockman and Farmer. Finaly Sarcastic. Some time ago a lady went into the library of her home, where a servant girl was dusting an ornamental bookcase. For awhile she watched the maid and then crossed the room to examine the work. "I want to tell you, Jane," said Hie miatrooa "that WA ATA trnmcr to have company. Mr. and Mrs. Smith are going to call and stay for dinner." "Yes, ma'am," quietly responded the servant girl, continuing her work. "And since Mr. Smith is a trifle over six feet tall, Jane," resumed the mistress, "I think you had better dust the ornaments on the top shelf."?Philadelphia Telegraph.

According to one of the tenets of the Mohammedan religion, it is a sin to make a picture of any living thing. The elaborate decorations of the palaces and mosques of the east are almost exclusively made up of ingeniously interplaced geometric designs, arabesques or flowers, intermixed with sentences of the Koran. There is a belief among the Mussulmans that at the day of judgment Allah will demand that the artist who has made the image of a living thing shall endow that image with life and that, failing to do this, the artist will be sent to perdition for his sin. A gentleman who visited the mosque in Algiers found that the tiles with which the building is decorated, which are very old and very beautiful, are adorned with flights of birds. He expressed surprise at this and asked if the command against such representation were a modern edict. "Oh, no," answered the pious AloMiman tn irKnm Via a /t t\ roflOA/t tVlP gcnau w r> uvui uv question. "These are not pictures of living birds." "But they are painted as if flying across the tiles/' the other said in some astonishment. "Yes," the Mussulman replied, "but do you not see about the neck of each there is a fine black line? That is to show that the artist painted only dead birds, and the command of the Koran is not violated."?London Chronicle. THc Word "Almanac." The etymology of the word "al manac naa oetu wurc uisyuwu than that of any other in the English language, and from the opinions expressed upon the subject. Verstegan's has been accepted as probable, though there cannot be the slightest doubt that the Saxons, from whom he obtains his derivation, took their term from the Arabic. The Saxons, he says, "used to engrave upon certain squared sticks about a foot in length or shorter or longer as they pleased the courses of the moons for the whole year, whereby they could always certainly tell when the new moons, full moons and changes should happen, as also their festival dates, and such a carved stick they called an almon-aght?that is to say, al-monheed?to wit, the regard or observation of all the moons, and hence is derived the name of almanac.'*?
