Wrecks are almost a daily occurrence in this broad land and country. Not only are railroad wrecks dangerous and hor¬ rible to behold, but there are moral,phys¬ ical and finanancial wrecks as well. The latter is one kind of wreck tliat general¬ ly conld l>e avoided if forethought and good judgment were used and some good bank like the Bank of WrightsviU was used to deposit and take care of their money. Are yon acting the foolish part keeping yonr money hid at home? If so stop it and deposit in tho Bank of Wrightsville where it will be safe. N. L. W7 INSTITUTE NOTES.
