there is no reason why one should not

rather heavy soil-loam is preferable
to leaf mold-and not too much water.
The tir.tree oil will not only keep the

WARMING.

We wish to caution all users of Simmons
LIVER Regulator on subject of the deepest
interest and Importance to their health
perhaps their lives. The sole proprietors
and makers Of Simmons Liver Regulator
earn that customers are often deceived by
buying and taking some medicine of q
similar appearance or taste, believing it to
be Simmons Liver Regulator. We warn
you that unless the word Regulator is en-
the package or bottle, that it is not Simmons
Liver Regulator No one else makes, or
ever has made Simmons Liver Regulator, or
anything called Simmons Liver Regulator,
butJ. ID. Zellln d Co., and no medicine made
by anyone else is the same. We alone can
put 1t up. and we cannot be responsible, if
other medicines represented as the same do
not help you as you are led to expect they
Will. Bear this fact wellin mlad, ifyou have
been IN the habit Of using a medicine which
you supposedto be Simmons Liver Regula-
tor, because the name was somewhat ike
1t, and the package did not have the word
Regulator on it, you have been imposed
upon and have not been taking Simmons
Liver Regulator at all. The Regulator has
been favoraoly known for many years, and
all who use it know how necessary it is for
Fever and Ague, Bilious Fever, Constipa
ton, Headache. Dyspepsia, and all disorders
arising from Diseased Liver.
We ask you to look for yourselves, and
see that Simmons Liver Regulator, which
you can readily distinguish by the Red 2
on wrapper, and by our name, is the only
medicine called Simmons Liver Regulator.

My DEAR UNCLE:
feel SO sorry for you. Have de-
cided to write you. If it is any COM
fort to you to know you have many
sympathizers L can assure you that
you have q great many il this COM
munlty. I think I can imagine your
feelings when you saw your life's work
go up in flames. We have not heard
the particulars yet-just heard the
Rabsonian was burned with the block
of stores. The dear old paper; how I
will miss it; it was like dear friend.
l hope, through kind 'Providence,"
that you may soon be enabled to start
again. I hope you're bouyant and
hopeful, nature and your faith in a
Supreme Being will help you to bear
up in this great trial.

r. Law, former pastor of the Presby-
terrain church in this town, now editor

LUMBER BRIDGE, n. c.,
Jan. II, 1897.
Dear Bro. McDia7naid: BE as
sured OF my sympathy for you in the
misfortune that has fallen to your lot.
Many things that drop into our lives
and pie our interests and fill us with
sorrow are hard to see to be for the
best. But our inability to see them so,
does not keep them from being so. He
who overrules all that touches His own
does not allow any happening to them
that is not for the best. In response
to the command: Comfort We my
people," l can only go to them with
this panacea: GAIL things work to.
gether for good to them that love God
vino are the called according to His
purpose.
The following letter is from Mr.. W,
S. Wishart, who was with us in the
office several years and who is now
manager of the Greensboro Ice and

that The Robesonian never had
truer friend than 'C' Wishart.

DEAR Mr.. MoDIARMID.-I wish II
could find words to express my sympa-
thy for you. [ can never tell you how
felt when I was told on Sunday
morning of the fire at Lumberton. L
have been sick since the 9Th, and
could not write sooner. I do hope
you will soou be in shape again. But
the files are gone. I can never see
again the first paragraph ever put in
type, which appeared in the Robson
ian of Nov. 7, 1877, But it Is said all
things work together for good, though |
some things are awful hard to under
stand. 1 hope the people will do their
duty, and hold up your hands while
you are in SO much trouble.
Sincerely your friend,
W. S. WIsHART.

In about month Mr.. Speer will

make once year. Mr.. Speer calls
once quarter. He will ask the con-

IN advance as to the date on which
statements will be asked from national

may be made for the same day. Un-
der this plan every bank in Georgia
will make a statement on the same
date, This will be an innovation, but

A Good Enterprise.

TIE TIMES has been frequently i'm
pressed with the fact that there is a
spendid opportunity in Brunswick for
a pencil factory. We have immense
quantities of the best cedar adjacent
to our port, and such factory would
be as easily operated aud as good an
investment as the Eagle Pencil COM
pany's large factory at Cedar Keys,
Fla. A Brunswick firm, THE TIMES
learns, has at various times, sold con-
siderable quantities of cedar to the
Faber Pencil Co., and even a cedar
shipping business ought to pay. Some
of our enterprising real estate dealers
should take hold of this idea and see
what can be done.
