"Another wonderful discovery has been made and that too by lady in this country. Disease fastened its clutches upon her and for seven years she withstood it's severest tests, but her vital organs were undermined and death seemed imminent. For three months she coughed necessarily and could not sleep. She bought of us 8 bottle of Dr Kings New Discovery for Consumption and was so much relieved on taking first dose that she slept all night and with one bottle has been miraculously cured. Her name is Mrs Luther Lutz" Thus write w. c. Ham, rick & Go, of Shelby, N. c. Get free bottle at w. Fl. Camps Drug Store.

Rev David Phillips preached the Thanksgiving sermon at Salisbury on Thursday last, and by request it was repeated to the members of his own congregation Sunday. morning.
 The revival services will continue the present week.
 A number of young people were home from school and business to spend Thanksgiving among them were Will Bissell, Frank Phelps and Holley Rudd, the latter with his bride, for whom the parents of the groom, MT and Mrs Wm. B. Rudd, gave reception Friday even- ing.
 There was an entertainment consist ing chiefly of the play of "Handy Andy" given in Academy hall on the evening of Nov. 29 by the young people of the Roman Catholic church. The entertainment was followed by dancing and feasting.
 On Friday evening last Mir John Hubbard and bride held reception at the home of Henry Beers in this place.

Perseverance an Important Factor in
Achieving Success in Life.
In any line of business, the man who ufes
reasonable economy AMI has the ability to
give fair management and the perseverance CO
TO hold on, will, in great majority OF
cases. make success; while, on the other
hand, the one who rushes into whatever he
has undertaken with a spasmodic endeaNor
to win all at once, as general rule wastes
his energies and often fails for sheer won't
of perseverance, The editor has observ ed
that the man who starts in 10 do days
work, and attempts to do as much in one
hour as ought to be done in two, will usual
ly find 1t necessary in short time to take
q rest, and while he is resting will lose va
liable time which he evidently feels that he
ought to make mp, Judging from the spe-
modic efforts he Will make when be starts
in to work again. But at night, the man
who works steady, but persevering!y, VII
bo found to have accomplished the most
while usually he will also be found In a
much better condition to commence again
the next day.
So it is in business One will seem to
hustle around and make a considerable to-
do over what he is doing, and after wasting
his energies in accomplishing what, by tax
ing little more time, could be done with
very little effort, and then, because, as he
thinks, ho fails to meet the success he
imagines he should, becomes discouraged
and is ready to make change to some
thing else. This, in II majority of cases,
proves loss, and in consequence, he does
no5 succeed as the energy he displays
would seem to warrant Another man,
while he may not make great display of
his energies at the start, will go to wogk
more systematic, and will have better OPP
portunitles to economize, and in many cases
to manage better than when he attempts to
rush mattera If he will but observe, ne
will be ready to take advantage of any IA
vorable circumstances that may arise 1t
always seems that the man who is con
stantly shifting about is always making n
change at the wrong time, when little
perseverance would have brought him
through all right In all lines of busine %
there are fluctuations ups and downs, and
in order to succeed we must persevere 1t
is when the odds seem cgainst us that it

A Pertinent Suggestion.

As rule dairymon do not hang to-
gether, and so spectators have the
chance to hang them separately. There
is no reason why tho farmers in half
tho township should not agree to bring
all their new milk or cream to central
point and pursue the same course of the
spectators rs to manufacture-make
full-stock cheese or combine butter and
cheese-making-b being governed by the
state of the market. Then If the prod
uct be shipped to responsible dealers
the profits go to the farmers, who are
not obliged to divide with tho local
spectators; and If by chance now and
then loss occurs, it need not create

Effect of tho Vibration of Telegraph

Some interesting facts have been brought

animals by the resonance of the vibration
of telegraph wires It Is found that tile
black and green woodpeckers for example,
which hunt for insects in the bark and In
the henrt OF decIying trees, often peck in
side tho circular hole made transversely
through telegraph posts, generally near tho
top The phenomenon is attributed to the
resonance produced in the post by the vi
bration of the wire, which the bird mis-
takes as the result of the operation of
worms and insects in the interior of the
post Every one knows the fondness of
bears for honey. 1t has been noticed that
in mountainous districts they seem TO mis-
take the vibratory sound of the telegraph
wires for the grateful humming of bees,
and, rushing to the post. look about for the
hive, Not finding 1t on the post, they
scatter the stones ut its base which help
to support it, and, disappointed in their
search, give tho post parting pat
with their paw, thus showing their
determination at least to kill any bees TINT

With regard to wolves again, NJ. Nielsen
states that when n vote was asked at the
time for the first great telegraph lines, a
member OF the S5orthing said that although
his district had no direct interest in the

favor, because he knew the lines would
drive the wolves from he districts through
which they pass I'd. 1t is well known that
