Hunters, be Careful,

Last week, near Grand Bay wharf, Colan
Claude killed two large diamond backed rat
tlesnakes-one in the field Of Mr.. Potter
and the other close by. The largest make
was Of enormous size and had a full.grnwn
rabbit inside Of it. 1t is a well-known fact
that the bite Of these serpents is death. I have
heard tales of people recovering from the bite
Of a rattlesnske, but l have never seen any
one who had been bitten and lived to tell how
it felt. This much ! do know, however: I have
had several dogs bitten during my life and
not one lived longer than a few moments. I
saw both of these snakes killed BY Claude.
The largest had only seven r%attles, but was
fully five inches in diameter, which shows
that the number Of rattles has nothing to do
with the size. Possibly they have something
to do with the age. Take warning now, hunt
era. and all people who frequent the woods; be
careful how you walk, for If you are 50 un-
lucky as to be bitten by one of these monsters,
your baggage is "checked for the happy hunt
ing grounds sbure." EAGLES NEST.

Pray what's the order Of the day?
What's the news? What's the news"
Oh have got good news to tell
My Saviour hath done all things we'll
And triumphed over death and hell
That S the news, That's the news
The lamb was slain on Calvary
That's the news, That's the news,
To set a world of sinners free
That's the news, That's the news.
The Lord has pardoned all my sill
That's the news. That's the news,
l feel the witness now within
That's the news. That's the news.
And since he took my sins away,
And taught me how to watch and pray,
LIN happy how from day to day
That's the news, That's the news.
And Christ the Lord can save you, too
That's the news, That's the news,
Your sinful heart he can renew
That's the news. That's the news,
This moment, if for sins you grieve,
This moment, If you do believe,
A full acquittal you ii receive
That's the news. That's the news,
And now. if any one should say,
Whats the news? What's the newso"
Oh, tell him you've begun to pray
That's the news, That's the news,
That you have joined the conquering band
And now with Joy at Gods command,
You're marching to the better land
That's the news, That's the news.

SHORT THLKS ON ADVERTISING,
lCOpyright by Charles Austin Bates !

copyright by Charles Austin Bates.
When a contractor is in a hurry to
drive II long plank down the side OF new
sewer he sets two men at it. Each with
big maui hits it alternate blows as
often and as hard as he can. The strokes
come as evenly as IL pendulum swings.
One man and one maui would drive
the plank down, butt would take longer
The bigger the maui the quicker and
easier he will do the work.
Two men, or a dozen, with tackham-
mers, would not get the plank driven in
a hundred years
There's q parallel to this in advertising
Ii you re in a hurry to drive your bust
ness Use two papers and make the advcr-
tlsinS maul-the space-;ls big as posi-
BILE.
If you haven't money enough to buy
two big mauls, only buy one, use ONLY
one paper-the best-and make the space
big enough to be felt
ron II do more good with one maui
than with half II dozen tackhammers.
1Ou'll get more benefit from u regular
advertisement, of sufficient size, in a
paper like the GOLD LEAF than YOU will
from half n dozen smaller ads in a weaker
paper.
If you have only one nd., have it right.
You don t believe in cutting your store
IN two, do you? You don't establish a
branch until you feel sure YOU are doing
all YOU can in the main store.
BE sure you are doing enough i'm the

He Should Know Everything.

The newspaper man is one of varied
experiences indeed. He is expected to
know everything and tell everything he
knows. Mistakes belong to other peo-
pie and he has no right to make them.
He is responsible for all the dull times
in town simply because he does not
"boom" the market more, but when
the times get lively he gets no credit
for it, however much he may have
''boomed." He has never done his
duty by his town. and never will until
he sacrifices all that he has and is and
kills himself working to build it up and
give it first class paper without any
assistance or pecuniary aid. His paper
must be out exactly OH time, but it is
not necessary TO pay up subscriptions
promptly. He will scramble around
and get along somehow.-Erchange.

A BUILDING
FOR the Young's ITEMS Christian AS
ISOLATION of the University of North
Carolina.

Less than year ago movement
was started to erect a building to sup
ply the needs of an abiding place for a
large and increasing Young Mems
Christian Association. The cost is to
be twenty thousand dollars. The stu
dents, faculty, townspeople, friends
and few of the alumni have already
pledged over nine thousand dollars.
Over one half of this amount has come
from students.
From such a building the University
as we'll as the Christian Association
will derive supreme benefit As such
this movement deserves and will re-
celve the support Of all alumni who
hold alma mater dear.

DEAFNESS CAN NOTBE CURED.


by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness i.
caused by an inflamed condition of the
mucous lining of the eustachian tube.
When this tube gets intlamed YOU have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its nor
NAL condition, hearing will be DESTROYED
forever nine cases out of ten are caused bv
catarrh, which is nothing but an infamed
condition of the mucus surfaces
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case ofdeafness (caused by catarrh) that
cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure.
