is a question which confronts every young man to-day.
The answer is: Open a SAVINGS ACCOUNT at the Far¬
mers Bank of Pelham and form the habit of deixisiting 85.00
or §10.00 regularly every mouth. This deposit suppemented
by the 4 per cent interests which we pay will soon amount
to quite a nice sum.

WE TRY TO
SATISFY CUSTOMERS
Our ever increasing business seems to signify that we
are succeding in satisfying our trade. We consider that
satisfying a customer is of more importance than immedi¬
ate profit. Besides providing the very best of service we
install every convenience that a drug store can contain.
This is a store where trading is a pleasure. If we have
not had the pleasure of serving you we hope to have it
soon. You will find our price as low as right quality can
be had for anywhere.

Southern Bell to Buy Lo=
cal Telephone Exchange.
It is understood that the South
Bell Telephone Co., have made
a tentative bargain with Mr.
W. N. Drake for the purchase of
the local telephone system and its
toll lineB. The local system has
lines extending into five counties.
Mr. McClatchey representing
the Bell system spent several
days in the city last week going
carefully over the situation.
They will first make applica¬
tion to the city for a franchise
and if this can be agreed on they
will probably close the trade with
Mr. Drake.
We have not been given any
authentic information but it is
understood the matter stands in
this shape.
The city in granting a franchise
will seek to thoroughly safeguard
the interests of the public in the
matter of ratis, service, etc.
The matter will probably be
put before the city authorities
some time next week,
A Methodist Revival
eleven o'clock, and services will
be held every afternoon and eve¬

warrant its continuance.
Rev. J. W. Arnold, the pastor,
will have charge of the meeting.
He is a very able worker, and is
thoroughly aroused over the fine
prospects for the approaching
services. He is desirous of se¬
curing interest and co-operation
from all sides, and it is hoped
that he will receive the support
that he deserves.
Mr. R. F. Whiddon of Thomas¬
ville was in the city Saturday and
loaded on cars the traction engine
he recently purchased from the
Mize Estate. He will use the en¬
gine in hauling lumber from his
saw mill. Mr. G. C. Mize will
spend a couple of days in Thom¬
asville demonstrating for his

tion of the engine.

A Warning To Borrowers.
A man who was too economical
to take his home paper sent his
little boy to borrow a copy taken
by his neighbor. In his haste the
boy ran over a .$4 stand of bees
and in ten minutes looked like a
watery summer squash. His cries
reached his father, who ran to his
assistance and failing to notice a
barbed wire fence, rau into that,
breaking it down, cutting a- hand¬
ful of llesh from his anatomy and
ruining a $5 pair of pants. The
old cow took advantage of the gap
in the fence and got into the corn
field and killed herself eating
" Hearing the racket,
gre?n corn.
the wife ran out, upsetting a four
gallon churn full of rich cream
into a basket of kittens, drown¬
ing the whole flock. In a hurry
she dropped a $7 set of false
teeth. The baby, left ah ne,
crawled through the spilled milk
into the parlor, ruining a brand
new $20 carpet. During the ex¬
citement tlie oldest daughter ran
away with the hired man, the dog
broke up eleven setting hens, the
calves got out and chaw-ed the
tails off four fine shirts.—Kansas

about 18 years old had his left
arm severly crushed in 0110 of the
machines at tlie cotton mill" yes

enough to cause amputation. IF

machine was what is known as a
slasher.

and gave medical attention at

Adjourned Term Will Be
Held for Trial of
Criminal Business.
Mitchell Superior Court con¬
vened Monday at 1 o’clock,
bince Monday the sessions have
commenced at 8:80 a. m.
Judge Frank Park is presiding.
This is his first court field in this
county. He has already made a
spelendid impression. He grants
every privilege allowed by Jaw to
litigants but accepts no flimsv
excuses. He is uniformly cour¬
teous but holds the lawyers and
litigants to a strict application of
the law.
His charge to the grand jury
Monday was brief and strictly to
the point. Occasional sentences
were strikingly forceful and elo¬
quent.
He referred especially to the
advantage of road improvement
and to the value and importance
the farms and received their ear¬
ly training in old field schools.
He said, I don’t know why it is,
gentlemen, but it seems somehow
the all-wise Nature of the uni¬
verse has planted more often tlie
germs of genius in the brain of
poverty than in that of wealth
and since it is the poor boy usual¬
ly who goes to the country schools
we ought to specially give these
schools our attention and care.
Mr. L. G. Collins was elected
foreman of the grand jury. Mr.
E. P. Lastinger was elected their
bailiff. Mr. H. L. McDonald is
clerk.
The entire week will be con¬
sumed in the trial of civil busi¬
ness.
The judge has announced his
intention of calling an adjourned
term for the fourth Monday in
May to try civil business alone.
Mr. .John M. Watts was in Pel
ham Monday morning.
