In olden time the sapphire was worn igninst the bites of venomous animals ind to keep away apparitions; the era- ;rald to prevent giddiness and itrengthen the memory. The ruby was ’onsldered a powerful amulet to ward >ff plagues and had the "power of nakiug the wearer cheerful.” A REAL MAN It is pretty hard to assert your independence and defy the world when you have an empty pocket book and no bank account. The prudent man who has saved a little, who has a reserve at the • Bank to tide him over a month or more, isn’t afraid of sickness, or such a coward about being out of a job. A bank account is a stimu lant to real manhoood. The larg er the account, the firmer the footing. It breeds self-confi dence, is a proof of efficiency, and an ever-present resource in time of need. It’s not what a man 'earns in a year that gives him a surplus, it’s what he saves. Don’t make the mistake of wait ing until you are old to start sav ing. Start today. We give care ful attention to all accounts, large or small. BANK OF FAYETTEVILLE EXCLUSIVE AGENCY JOHN DEERE PLOW CO. Manufacturers of Farm Implements, Tractors, Buggies, Wagons, Etc.
