A Good Law and One That Should be
Regarded.

lus, IOdu OtcISectS " put up SiSu-UOdIuS
at the different forks of the roads
throughout the counties, in some parts
Of the State is almost entirely disre-
garded. Complaint is being made by
the travelling public of the neglect of
this important duty by the overseers Of
roads. Frequently persons not ac-
qaainted with the country roads are
subjected to serious inconvenience by
being misled because there are no signs
indicating the points to which the roads
lead. The law used to be complied
with in this matter but it has received
but little attention from the proper au-
thorities for many years.
1t is suggested that the newspapers
in behalf Of the public call the atten-
ton of the officials to their duty in the
counties wherever it is neglected. 1t
would be we'll to attend to this matter
as the law requires and avoid trouble.
Here is the law on the subject. Sec.
2O3O of the Code of North Carolina
reads:
Overseers shall cause to be set up. at
the forks of their respective roads, a
post or posts, with arms pointing the
way of each road, with plain and dura-
BILE directions to the most public places
to which they lead, and with the number
of miles from that place as near rs can
be computed; and every Overseer VINO
shall. for ten days after his appoint
ment, neglect.to do SO and to keep the
same in repair, shall forfeit and pay for
every such neglect ten dollars.
Sec. 203l also saws:
Any person. who shall wantOnly re-
move, knock down or deface the said
posts, arms, or any mile-mark, SHALL for
every such offence forfeit and pay to the
State ten dollars, and be guilty OF a
misdemeanor.
Sick poison is a poison which makes
you sick. 1t comes from the stomach.
| The stomach makes it ont of undigested
food
The blood gets it and taints the whole
body with it. That's the way of it,
The way to be rid of it is to look after
yonr digestion.
your food is all properly digcsted,
| there will be none left in the stomach to
| make sick poison out of.
If your stomach is too weak SO see to
| this properly by itself, help it along with
a few doses OF Shaker Digestive Cordial
That's the cure of it.
Shaker Digestive Cordial is a delicious
healthful, tonic cordial, made OF pure
medicinal plants, herbs and wine.
1t positively cures Indigestion and

This will do to reprint. We copy
from the Chenoa Qll.) Gazette: Not
long since in a Western school a stu
dents examination paper contained this
marvellous budget: THE human body
is divided into three parts: The head,
the chist, and stummick The head
contains the eyes and brains, if any.
The chist contains the lungs and a
| piece Of liver. The stummick is
| devoted to the bowels. of which there
| is five, a, e, i, o, u, and sometimes W
and y"
A few weeks ago the editor was taken
| with a very severe cold that caused him
| to be in a most miserable condition. 1t
| was undoubtedly bad case of la grippe
| immediate steps to bring about speedy
| cure. From the advertisement OF Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy and the many
good recommendations included therein,
we concluded to make a first trial of the
| medicine. To say that it was satisfactO-
| ry in it's results, is putting it very mildly
| indeed. 1racted like magic and the re-
suit was speedy and permanent cure
| We have no hesitancy in recommending
this excellent Cough Remedy to any one
| afflicted with cough or cold in any
form.-Ihe Banner of Liberty, Libertytown
