BIG REAL ESTATE DEAL,
A Syndicate Buys a Large Body of
Land Near Vaughns Station, Warren
County,

From last weeks issue of the Little
ton Neus Reporter we learn particulars
of big land deal of which Vaughns, a
station on the Seaboard Air Line, in
Warren county, is the centre. The
Southern Farm Land Associa ton, with
H. w. B. Glover as president, John
H. Sharp as treasurer, John Il. Pat
rick as secretary, has purchased 1000
acres Of land at and around that place,
and steps will at once be made to i'm
prove it by the founding of a pros
porous settlement. 1t is the purpose
Of the promoters to induce the best
class Of farmers, mechanics and others
to settle upon these lands and every
reasonable encouragement will be eX-
tended in that direction. The source
from which we get our information
says further:
1t is said to be the richest body of
land taken as whole in Warren
county, having upon it an abundance
of building material both Of stone and
native original growth timber, also a
large number of never falling streams of
pure water The location is entirely
free from malaria or any form Of viru-
lent types of disease and under the
iudicious management Of the above
named gentlemen the success of the
venture is assured. Surely there is a
great future for the town of Vaughns
and we confidently expect this project
to prove a great benefit to Warren
county

THE WINCHESTER GRAVES.
Honor to Whom Honor is Due.

Mr.. Oscar W. Blacknall, of kittrell,
through the News and Observer, says:
take it that the graves of the North
Carolina soldiers in the great Stone
wall cemetery at Winchester, Va, will
be marked by June 6, Memorial Day.
That day should be North Carolina
Day. \ North Carolina orator should
deliver the address. l am sure that
the Winchester people will gladly &C
cord Us that privilege.
There is one North CarOllnian pre-
eminenty fit, pre-eminently worthy,
one who originated and has been the
heart and soul of the movement 10
mark our long neglected graves in that
glorious Valhalla. No other North
Caroliuian should be thought Of in that
connection. That man is the Rev.
James Battle Avirett, OF Louis burg.
He married Winchester woman, one
Of the ministering angels who sOftened
the cruel path to the grave of SO many
of our kith and kin, and brought back
to life so many on the verge of the
shadow. AS the chaplain of Ashby's
command, and later Of the Stonewall
brigade, he had personal experience
of the career of the troops in the valley.
He is loyal to our past. He is an elo-
quent man. In no hands can the fame
of our Confederate dead be more safely
entrusted.
The press of the State would do we'll
to advocate his being chosen. We owe
it TO him for the good work he has done
in this connections; we owe it to our
Winchester dead because he is Re
right man. Just the man they would
have chosen

Beware
OF the Knife.

Mr.. Lincoln Nelson, of Marshheld, Mo-,
writes: "For six years l have been
sufferer from a scrofulous affection OF
the glands of my neck, and all efforts
of physicians in Washington, u. e.,
Springfield, Ill, ard St. Louis failed to
reduce the enlargement. After SIX
months constant treatment here, my
physician urged me to submit to a re-
1roval Of the gland. At this critical mo-
ment a friend recommended S.S.S.,
and laying aside deep-rooted preJu-
dice against all patent medicines, be-
gan its use. Before had used one bot
tie the enlargement began to disappear,
and now it is entirely gone, thong am
not through with my second bottle yet.
Had 1 only used your SIS. long ago,
I would have escaped years Of misery
and saved over $50"
This experience is like that of all who
suffer with deep-seated blood troubles.
The doctors can do no good, and even
their resorts to the knife prove either
fruitless or fatal. SIS. IS the only
real blood remedy; it gets at the root OF
the disease and forces it out perma-
nently.

THE SOUTHERN WILL BUII
PITFALLS.

The Atlanta Constitution states that
the ) puthern Railway is going to erect
a chan of hospitals at many points on
lis system for the care Of those injured
in its service.
\ strong point that has been urged
in favor of the railroad hospital is to
the effect that it will lessen the number
OF damage suits When a person is
hur; he or she will be carried lmme-
diately to the nearest hospital and
given the best of attention at the ex
pense of the road. In this way many
of the damage suits will be warded
off, and those who do manage to get
a verdict will receive much less sum.
Railroad hospitals for the purpose out
lined are no new thing. The Plant
system-and, in fact, most all the
great systems throughout the country
have erected such institutions, and
from all information the systems have
saved many dollars and at the same
time given more efficient service to
the injured.
