The fifth annual meeting of the
stock-holders of the Bank of Mc

in this citj’ Monday and the fol

transacted : The old board of di

paid in thus making the paid-up
capital $20,000. instead of $10,000.
With the added amount the bank
has just doubled its facilities for
handling the business of our ever
growing little city and can under
any conditions that may arise give
the public all the accommodations
necessary. These people intend
tearing away their present building
before winter and erecting in its
stead a modern up-to-date building
just double the size of the present
one. They will also replace the

FATHER CARRIED IN EFFIGY
Mock Attention Paid by Brlde'a Party
to Bridegroom’s Ralatlvaa la
Indian Custom.
There is a curious custom still
prevalent in the Bellary district of
India in connection with the wed
ding ceremonies among certain
Brahmin families.
Just prior to the close of the
feasting, a hideous effigy of a male
figure, fantastically robed in rags,
supposed to represent the bride
groom’s father, is carried along the
streets in procession, under the shade
of a sieve adorned with tassels of
onions and margosa leaves.
Every few yards during the pro
cession the feet of the effigy have to
be reverently washed and its fore
head decorated with a caste mark by
its living spouse, the bridegroom’s
mother. The bridegroom’s other fe
male relatives have several mock at
tentions paid to them by the women
of the bride’s party.
NO DRINKS SERVED LADIES.
‘‘Cumberland, in your good state
of Maryland, is about the only town
in the United States where they will
not furnish a lady with a glass of
beer, wine or intoxicating spirit of
any kind,” said G. J. Brooks of
Philadelphia.
“It makes no difference whether
the lady is alone or duly accom
panied by her husband—she simply
can’t get any liquid refreshment. I
was at one of the leading hotels in
Cumberland recently with my wife,
and ordered two bottles of beer,
thmking to have her consume one of
them, but when I ordered the waiter
to fill two glasses he politely told me
that the Keating license bill pro
hibited ladies from being served
with drinks of that character.”—
Baltimore American.
HAS HAIR LIKE ANIMAL.
There was recently exhibited at a
meeting of the Vienna Medical so
ciety a man who possesses a peculiar
leonine appearance. He is a young
Russian, said to be 17 years old,
covered over the Whole body with
long, soft yellow hair, except on the
head, where the natural hair is
present. Lionel, as the youth is
styled, has only two teeth, corre
sponding to incisors, in the lower
alveolus. Cases of this kind are said
to be rare. One of the oldest is the
family described and painted in
1583 by Plater, consisting of father,
mother, two boys and one girl, all of
whom were covered with an ample
cloak of hair.
WHY, SURE, THAT IS EASY.
Sherlock Holmes tn his palmy
days was a mere trifler compared to
the New York detective who was
sent to see Mrs. Merz, who occupies
a handsome home at 128 West
Ninety-third Btreet. She had been
robbed of her handbag on the street
by a highwayman.
“Did they get your house key?”
asked the detective.
“Yes,” said Mrs. Merz.
"And your calling cards with yaui
address on them?”
“Yes.”
“Well, they probably will be
around in a few days to rob the
house,” said the sleuth as he made
his departure.

A HEART-TO-HEART
TALK WITH PARENTS
OF OUR TOWN
YOU OWE YOUR BOY, YOUR C1IRL

THEM OF THIS MOST VALUA
BLE HER1TAQE IT IS YOUR
POWER TO GIVE?
By J. A. Livingston.
Next Wednesday, September 30,
our Public School will open for a
9 months term, and no effort or
expense has been spared to make
it the most valuable term in the
history of the school.
Had we the power to impress up
on the hearts of every parent in
MeCrory just one fact, it would be
the importance of sending their
boys and girls to school—of hav
ing them present on the opening
day, and keeping them there every
day during the term. Then we
would see our new school building,
which is the pride of everyone in
MeCrory, filled to overflowing; we
would see boys and girls in the
lower grades entering upon a
course that would ultimately pre
pare them to become successful
and useful men and women : we
would see others taken from the
streets and from menial labor and
placed in school where they be
long; we would see young men
and young women going back to
school to complete the education
they have left unfinished and pre
paring themselves to go forth in
life fully armed and equipped to
fight the battles that are iuevitable,
and in which they will be handi
capped all through life without an
education.
The value of an education dis
cussed from a monetary point of
view is shown that the average
yearly earning capacity of an ed
ucated man is $1,000. It is not
necessary to estimate the earning
capacity of the uneducated man
nor to mention the two for com
parison. It is so plain that every
reader can make his own calcu
lation.
And the money value of an ed
ucation is its smallest value. “For
every pound you save in education,
you will spend five in prosecutions,
in prisons, in penal settlements.”
The educated young man or wo
man who starts out upon life is
master of his own destiny. He
can choose his profession, because
he is mentally prepared to enter
successfully upon any calling that
appeals to him ; and even though
his choice be that of the farmer,
the mechanic or some other voca
tion wherein he will earn his bread
by “the sweat of bis brow,” he
will be more successful in these
than if he were not equipped with
an education, his life will be one
of usefulness and influence in his
community; he will live in a high
er realm, his purposes, in life will
be nobler aud every day he will
enjoy pleasures that are denied an
education.
Parents, this is a solemn obliga
tion resting on you. Next
Wednesday morning each one of
them will enter upon a course of
mind training and enlargement
that will equip them for a high
and noble citizenship in the years
to come, or, through lack of self
concern and parental influence
they will refuse this training, and
when manhood’s state is attained
they will be equipped only for the
commonplace in whatever calling
or profession they may choose.
They will go forth in after years
as broad-minded, influential men
aud women—noble specimens of
beings created in God’s own image,
fully equipped for the work which
he, through your agency, brought
them into existence; or they will
go forth as mere types of the true
image—nonentities in the walks of
life, unprepared for the battles of
life, and incapable of grasping the
higher ideals of life. They will
go forth to live lives of usefulness,
honored of men, reflecting honor
upon their progenitors and their
Creator; or they wilt enter upon
a mere existence and seek their
level with the commonplace, living
uneventful lives of drudgery,

We pay HIGHEST price for butter and
handicapped in all the undertak
ings of life, reflecting honor neith
er upon themselves nor their par
ents.
We do not lay these down as
inexorable truths, but in the main
they are true, and the exception
in either class is usually traceable
to some inherited talent or hin
drance. Occasionally a man may
attain fame without au education,
have placed around his neck and
forced him to carry through life.
School will open next Wednesday,
and every person in the district
should see that their children are
there on the opening day. But
the question for you to decide is,
what you will do with YOUR boy
and your girl!
“To close the door of hope
against any child within the bor
ders of the state, whatever be his
race or condition, by deliberately
removing him from the possibili
ties of securing such traiuiug as
will fit him for the life he has to
live is un-Christian, unDemocratie
and un-American.”
su lar us mull uuuns are cuuwrueu ;
and again, a man of education may
apparently make a failure of life,
but such cases are exceptions. All
men may live honest, industrious
lives without an education; nor
would we point the finger of scorn
at the uneducated. No man, has
more admiration and respect for
the man thus handicapped, who is
doing the best he can, plodding
along uncomplaining, unceasing,
putting himself against the more
fortunate who received educational
training and advantages in early
life, and in many instances prov
ing the master in the unequal con
test. But meu who succeed un
der these circumstances do so as a
result of inherited superior facul
ties—potent energy and a determi
nation to win out against odds
which, to the many, would have
proveu insurmountable. Aided
by education and the proper train
ing in youth, these exceptions
would have been vastly more suc
cessful. Never was an education
a hindrance, and the educated
man who fails in life must trace
his failure to some other cause.
Send your boy, your girl, to
school. You not only owe this
to your children, but you owe it
to your town, your country, to
society and to future generations.
Yes, you owe it to yourself; and if
you neglect this duty you may see
the day in after years when your
own child, in his heart if not in
words, will point the finger of
scorn at you for the neglect of
this duty—for the millstone you
