y We re indebted to a Raleigh
lady for a sure cure for hog cholera.
The lady in question is not a farmer
but is a practical woman and thorough
Iy reliable. She says to confne the
hogs and allow them no water but
that in which a quantity Of cherry
bark has been stepped. The quantity
of bark at first may be small as the
hogs will not like the bitter taste, but
starve them to it and before long
they will drink the water freely.
This, she says, will not only cure them
after they are sick, but will prevent
their taking the disease. Try it.
The Davis School will be re-
moved from La Grange, N. c., to
Winston-Salem The School will be
located on large, g lutiful grounds a
| short distance from town. Handsome
buildings will be completed by the
opening of the session next September.
The equipments of the entire institu.
ton will be frst-class in every particu-
lar. Davis School is one of the Iarg-
est military schools in the South.
Many sections of the United States
are represented every year. The new
location of the school is not surpassed
anywhere. 1t is in a beautiful coun-
try famous for health.
