Does Experience Count ?

1t does, in every ine Of business, and
especially in compounding and preparing
medicines. This Is illustrated in the
great superiority of Hoods Sarsaparilia
over other preparations. as shown by the
remarkable cures it has accomplished.
The head of the firm Of c. |. Hood &
Co. Is a thoroughly competent and ex-
perienccd pharmacist, having devoted his
whole to the study and actual prepare
ton of medicines. He is also a member
of the Massachusetts, and y melican Phar-
maceutIcal 4 associations, and continues
actively devoted to supervising the prep
aration of and managing the business con-
nected with, Hoods Sarsaparilla.
Hence the superiority and peculiar
merit of Hoods Sarsaparilla is built up
on the most substantial foundation. In
its preparation there is represented al
the knowledge which modern research II
medical science has developed, combined
with long experience, brainwork, and ex,
pertinent. 1t is only necessary to give
this medicine fair trial TO realize its
great curative value.

For Housewives TO read.

The Durham Sam says: sit is an I'M
fortunate circumstance in our American
experience that thousands of men and
women who start life upon common
of intelligence, of industry, of honesty
and economy, gradually separate, the
husband becoming more polished by the
friction Of business and constant inter
course with the ways Of the world, while
the honest little wife, working and plod.
ding, and staying at home, buries her IN
telligence in the napkin Of domesticity
having no friction, no polish, no added
information, and, consequently being at
standstiIl, so far as improvement is
concerned, until at the end of ten or fiji.

Ia1ged, improved edition, while the wife

While the above is in some cases true,

neglect their music and reading and other
things that aeep them along with the
trend and accomplishments of the busy
world.
The tired husband and the tired wife
need sweet converse together IS much
after marriage as before Too frequently
the husband forgets bis appreciation Of
music and song and grows in a certain
kind of intelligence away from the wife:
and too frequently the wife forgets to
practice upon the husband the witchery
and charms that lurked in her touch Of
the piano and her sweet voice in former
years.
Nothing can give the husband sweet
er welcome home than the same old song
of love that the wife sang to his coming
as "sweetheart:" and nothing Is more
BETTING the husband at the close of day
than to read books and papers to his wife
and family. Some husbands stay out a.
night too much, and there's where the
seeds of enlargement are often sowed.
Wives, sing and play for your hus
bands; husbands, read the news and
/ books to your wives.

How TO 'Eteat a Etorse,

Never ride a horse without first making
his acquaintance and securing his good
will. Go to his head, speak kindly, pat
Fin, look III bis eve; Whether you are a
friend or foe he will judge by your vo,5s;
your eye, and your breath. Horses Judge
man just as quick as man does a
horse, Feed and water abundantly at
night after work ard the animal has had
time to rest and cool off. Feed moder-
ately in the morning or before work.
Parthians and Arabs prepare their horses
for hard drives by fasting. More horses
are injured by hard driving on q full
stomach than by any other process. Never
let horse eat or drink much when he is
hot from overwOrk. Study your horse,
treat hun according to his nature, make
him your friend, and he will do better
and safer work.-H,tmdne Educator.

A New baptist Church..

The pastor aud members of the Mis-
sionary Baptist church in Tarboro are
determined to erect new and modern
house of worship. 1t will occupy the
site Of the present building on Church
street. The old church Will be sold as it
now stands, and moved off.
We have seen the plans submitted and
should either of them be selected it will
give our Baptist brethren most lovely
building.
Rev, Mr.. Hundley and his co-worke rs
are in earnest, and we have every reason
to believe that by early summer a magnif-
icent house of worship will supplant the
one now used by this congregatIon.-Tar-
