Card of Thanks
To the many friends who help
ed to roll up the large majority
for me in the mayor’s race in the
town election Tuesday, I extend
sincere thanks. To those who
voted for my honorable opponent
I feel no ill will whatever and I
hope that we will ALL unite and
pull for a bigger and better Mc
Crory.
In assuming the head of the ■
government of our little city I do!
so realizing that for the coming
administration the main issue to
face is the matter of revenue as
the city is several hundred dol
lars in debt with the taxes to be
received in July included.
The present administration is
to be complimented upon the
many permanent improvements
made and the fact that the city
is in debt is no discreditable re
flection upon its work for it has
accomplished much good with the
money expended.
it snail ue uur purpose tu en
courage the paving of Edmunds
Avenue from the Iron Mountain
Ry. to Mr. Wherry’s residence if
possible and we are glad to state
that several property owners i
have already agreed to do their i
part in this work. We shall alsoj
encourage and work for the ]
widening of our streets which is
greatly needed, and the building
of more concrete walks. To do
this will of course cause some to
censure and criticise, but we arei
taking the mayor’s office with!
this expectation and do not ex
pect to let such enter into the
progressive work which we think
is needed done.
We believe the council can
greatly increase the revenues of
the town by changing some of
its laws together with a few new
additions. We hope to have the
hearty co-operation of the entire
council and every citizen of the
town that we may accomplish
many more lasting and perma
nent improvements for the wel
fare and convenience of the pro
gressive citizenship of our grow
ing little city.
Again thanking each and every
one for their loyal support in the
past and soliciting a continuation
of same during our administra
tion as your chief official and
that I may exceed your most san
guine expectations as such, I
am, Respectfully,
Walter W. Raney.

PROBLEM SOLVED AT ONCE
No Need for Boss to Devote Much
Thought to the Plea Presented
by Old Employee.
The conversation in the lobby of
a Washington hotel, the other eve
ning, turned to the solution of diffi
cult problems, when this little anec
dote was recalled by Congressman
James R. Mann of Illinois:
One afternoon an esteemed citi
zen, who was employed in .a big mer
cantile house, sought his way to the
private office, and gently bulged into
the presence of the boss.
“Mr. Smith,” said the employee,
in response to the interrogative look
of the other, “I came to speak to you
about my salary.”
“Your salary!” quickly interposed
the l?oss. “What is the matter with
your salary ?”
“It is just this way, Mr. Smith,”
the employee started to explain. “I
cannot save half as much on what
you are giving me today as I did on
what you gave me five years ago, and
I thought—”
“•I see! I see!” cheerfully inter
posed the boss. “We can easily fix
that. Suppose we give you what we
gave you five years ago?”—Philadel
phia Evening Telegraph.
DRINK MUCH CHAMPAGNE.
Twenty thousand dollars a day are
spent in New York for champagne.
This is not a guess but a carefully
prepared estimate based on figures
furnished by the big liquor and im
porting houses. Before the Civil
war gentlemen served carefully pre
served and personally cared-for
wines, but with the mad rush for
precedence that followed the Civil
war and the forced nomadic propen
sities of succeeding generations, it
became impossible to keep wine for
ten or twenty jears before being
served. That is the real reason why
champagne is the fashionable drink
today. __
