The Benefits of a j
Savings Account !
The benefits accruing from a
savings account are manifold.
The interest received is the
smallest benefit produced. To
lay aside a "snug little sum
for a rainy day" is a com-mendable
.undertaking, and
certainly worth all the effort
any savings account ever re-i
quired, when the "rainy day-comes.
But satisfying as
these benefts are. they have
not the merit that comes of
the training acquired in suc-cessfully
conducting a savings
account. To have learned the
principles of economy is to
have your independence and
happiness assured. Such are
some of the great values of a
savings account. This bank en-courages
such accounts by pay-ing
4 per cent, interest on
them, compounded four times
a year.
Checking accounts in any
amount cordially invited.

National Woolen Mills Opens Store
in Greensboro.
A new business enterprise in
Greensboro is a tailoring establish-ment
that has just been opened at
204 South Elm street, in the old
Benbow hotel building, by the Na-tional
Woolen Mills, which is per-haps
the greatest woolen syndicate
in the country. The company has
stores in most of the principal cities
in the United States, and Greens-boro
has been selected as headquar-ters
or the central point for this dis-trict.
The store is in charge of
Mr. P. W. Foster, the district man-ager,
a gentleman of wide experience
in the tailoring business.
The business is unique in that the
store has only one price for a suit
of clothes, and that price is $15.
"From null to man" is the motto of
the company, which buys its goods
direct from the manufacturers and
distributes them through its hun-dreds
of stores. The attention of

Proposition to Add Portion of Norlh-ern
Randolph to This County.
Many p?ople in the territory af-.
fected are discussing the advisability
of annexing two miles, of th? north-ern
border of Randolph county to
Guilford, and The Patriot is inform-ed
by a gentleman who is in a po-sition
to know what he is talking
about that a petition to this effect
will be presented to the next ses-sion
of the Ugislatuie. The move-ment
is entirely voluntary on the
part of the people in th? territory
concerned.
The territory proposed to be taken
into Guilford county includes the
greater portions of Trinity. New Mar
ket, Providence and Liberty town-ships,
which townships number
among their inhabitants many of the
best people living. The proposed
addition would make the dimensions
of Guilford 28 by 26 miles, with an
area of 728 square miles, instead of

your money is deposited in
our Savings Department, we
will pay you 4 per cent, inter-est,
