Sparkling Kolafra Is. K serves all
the ends Of a light beverage perfectly.
Among drinks it is what the American
Beauty rose is among flowers. 1t pleases
the senses and quenches thirst as moth
ng else will. 1t is absolutely non-in-
toxicating and yet it is stimulating. It's
stimulation is, however, peculiar to
itself. 1t is akin to that of coffee, yet
decidedly difierent-more agreeable
and prolonged; producing none of the
harmful effects of tea or coffee.
S. K. is delightful and healthful,
giving sense of we'll being not deriv-
able from any other drink.
1t should be served ice cold.
THIRST RELIEVING QUALITIES.
Sparkling Kolafra allays thirst with
much less fluid than any other drink
not excepting water. This is very
important consideration in hot weather
when because ordinary drinks have
but momentary eflecO the tendency
is to imbibe too much huid-a custom
which produces an unpleaeant sensa-
ton in the stomach and interferes with
the digestion. For this reason one
glass of S. K. does more good than half
dozen of almost any other beverage.
The effect stays with you. You have
"longer time between drinks" the
throat and mouth remaining cool and
moist during the interval. This quality
alone gives distinguishing character
to Sparkling Kolsfra.
It also vitalizes and exhilarates,
counteractipg the sense OF lessitude and
depression incident to the heated term.
Briefly, Sparkling Kolafra possesses
distinct properties which are easily re-
cognizable on trial, and commend it as
something especial and excellent among
the world of drinks.
@"S. K" is never drawn from soda
fountains. Sold only in bottles.

This man evidently has a sensible
wife. He has just refused to subscribe
for The PROGRESSIVE FARMER and she is
now giving him a lesson which, let US
hope, will do him good. She says he
deserves a few ticks, and not love licks,
either. Betsy BIkins says: Any North
Carolina farmer who won't pay 81 for
THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER until Jan.
1, 1899, ought to have the same dose.
By needing the suggestions contained
in the paper. he can make and save
many more dollars. His pillow will run
more easily and he'll never have to say
he is not posted. He will have fun and
the news. At night o at noon, at any
time when home from the field, he can
drive dull care away by a CHEEKY talk
with Z9ke and Betsy, or turn to the
third page and read the news from the
four corners of the earth, or laugh with
a thousand others at Dur jokes and
anecdotes, or read unprecedented edi-
torials upon the leading events Of the
week. or again, by perusing our farm
articles a save money enough to pay
for the paper for years ahead.
And il he doesn't know that these
things will be worth many times one
dollar to him between now and Jan. 1,
1899, then his wife ought to be the man
ager of the farm and she very probably
is, if il has a manager. In this case,
we ask her to subscribe.

Farmer eUery aOeek betgeen nOaV and

THOUGHT 1T WAS HIS GHOST.

A dispatch from Passaic, N. j., says
that when Postmaster Dennis A. Ma
honey entered the postomce one day
last week, his friends thought it was
his ghost, for "extras" of a Paterson
newspaper were selling all over the
city announcing that the postmaster
had been stricken with heart disease
early that day and was dead.
Postmaster MRhoney, who is also an
editor, took an active part in the cleo
tion last Tuesday, the 81, on the Re-
publican side. Some one telephoned
the Paterson newspaper that Mahoney
had expired, and the latter knew moth
ing about the report until his friends
showed him the newspaper.
The deputy postmaster vas about to
assume charge OF affairs when Mahoney
appeared. The postmaster then read
his own obituary and he was kept busy
all the day explaining that he was not
dead. He could not account for the
false report.

GEN. DEAD.

RALEIGH, N c., Nov. 4-General
Thomas L ClingmaR,ex United States
Senator, died in the Morganton Insane
Asylum yesterday.
Aged and infirm, the State gave him
a home there.
General Clingman was born in Yad
kin county in 1916, elected a Wing
member of the legislature in 1885 from
Surry, and a State Senator in 1885,
from Asheville; became a leader of the
Wing party and was a member of Con-
gress from 1843 to 1853, excepting the
Twenty ninth Congress.
In 1853 he was appointed to the
United States Senate to fill the vacancy
caused by the resignation of Asa Biggs
and was re elected. His speech on
Clay's defeat led to a duel with VIM.
Yancy, of Alabama.
At the outbreak of the civil war he
entered the Confederate army as Col
onel of the Twenty fifth North Carolina
Regiment and soon became Brigadier
General and was wounded at Coal Har-
bar and at Petersburg.
He served as delegate to the National
Democratic Convention in 1865, but
had avoided politics, since.
He was never married.

TERRIBLE RAILROAD ACCIDENT


Press dispatches say that the Chesa-
peake and Ohio vestibule express,
called the F. f. v, which runs from
Cincinnati to Washington, was wrecked
near Old Shadwell, five miles east of
Charlottesville, Va, at 1:25 p. m, Nov.
4th. Four persons were killed and
seventeen injured.
The accident, we learn, was caused
by the breaking of an axle of the first
truck of the locomotive. The train was
making up time, and the engine left
the rails on o sharp curve, and rushing
into a rocky hillside with terrific force,
was completely dismantled. Two cars
went down into Rivanna river. TIE
sleeper ''Salota" went over on it's side,
but the dining a and the Richmond
sleeper remained on the track.
representative Evans says the scene
about the place was n of great confu
sion. The sudden stopping of the train
seemed to him like the shock Of an
earthquake. The engine left the track
and ran into a high embankment on
one side, while the cars becoming do
tached continued for nearly two hun
dred feet further. There were ten cars
on the train and all but two of them
were toppled over, some of them IN the
one side and some on the other.
