Rev. J. A. Mclaughlin, pastor Daw-
SONS Baptist church, Tar River Associa-
ton, having resigned as pastor, and the
same having been accepted by the
church the deacons submit the follow
ing resolutions, which are adopted
l. Resolved, That it is with deepest
regret we part with our beloved pastor,
who has SO faithfully and successfully
served us for the past three years, dur
ing all OF which time there has not
been the least discord between pastor
and church.
2. Resolved, That during his pasto-
rate the church at this place has been
greatly strengthened and built up spir-
itually and greatly developed in work,
and we feel that his influence among
us was special beacon to light US on
in the path of duty.
3. Resolved, That we commend him
to Gods people everywhere as an able
and conservative minister and feel that
wherever he may serve as shepherd
they will be fed with the precious
truths of the gospel.

COME TOGETHER.

We give most of our editorial space
this week for letter by Capt. Kltchin
In an editorial article two weeks ago
we proposed to pass over all former
differences and "tOe the mark" with
our Populist friends who are willing to
come back and start with us. This is
in substance what Capt. Kitchin says
also.
We agree with him in what he saws
about the railroad lease question. We
have all the while thought that the
whole matter has been a mountain
made of a mole-hill. The special in
vestigation by Master Craig was worth
nothing except to give employment tc
lawyers, and some OF them at the ex.
pense OF the State to help Attorney
General Walser do nothing.

THE DISASTROUS SEVEN"

Correspondents to TIE CoMMoNwEALTH.)
L1TTLEToN, N. G. Nov. %, '97.
An old gentleman of close observa-
ton remarked the other day that ever
since he could remember every year
ending in seven has been disastrous.
While this has not been disastrous to
much extent, the low price of cotton
will cause much suffering among the
poor, and meager collection with all
who do not work for salary. Your
suggestion some time ago for farmers
to sow much wheat, because 1t will be
compelled to bring good price in the
early summer, was timely one; but
how about our Halifax county "miser-
able law" allowing stock to run at large
three months in the year? Could
there have been more untimely law
enacted by sensible legislators?
When we see SO many bicycles on
the streets, 80 many new buggies, 80
many we'll dressed people at church,
it does not seem that Hard Times is
In the country; but he is in the
country it not in town. This
will be evident to any one who will
test the matter by driving only few
miles.
When will our people quit drinking
whiskey? When will they learn to
spend six days in the week throughout
the year on the farm2 When will
they learn to make home made ma
nures, and ditch the hilisides to pre-
vent their lands from washing? When
will they grow grasses and clover, raise
stock, in fine, be farmers by Twins
largely on what is raised at home?
Our town has three more merchant
this fall. How much better it would
be to have fewer stores and some othe1
industries.
Thanksgiving is upon us and we an

WHY rs IT?

The following by Elder P. D. Gold
in the Wilson Times has about as much
good common sense as any paragraphs
we have read
"a few days ago was told, by one
well informed, that cotton yarns are
sold now at Is cents per pounds out of
cotton costing 5 cents per pound-a
profit of more than 100 per cent. The
same informant said that last spring
they sold yarns at ID cents, out of cot
ton that cost them 7 cents. Now he
said they are scarcely able to fill their
orders.
sWhy is this? Is there a ring
among the manufacturers? Farmers
ought to share a reasonable profit with
others. They earn as much-labor as
hard-llve as scantily. Why is this?
"The remedy for farmers is to pro
duce all they eat, such az corn, wheat
pork, milk and butter, fruits-feed fo1
horses, mules, cattle, etc., and buy al
little as possible. Have good schools
in the country. Too many are moving
to town. Build up the country. I'm
prove your lands, your society, educate
your children at home. Teach then
to labor, and not to despise it.
"In the town the question is asked
what shall we do with our daughters
Too many of them are brought up tt
think only of dressing, going with boys
riding bicycles, spending their tim,
foolishly. Teach them to labor-tt
cook, sew. make clothing, etc., by put
ting them at it. Teach your boys t.
do farm work.

No wonder we are so poor. We will
get worse and worse every year unit

nomical ways of the Bible. Real

ONE OF TWO WAYS.

The bladder was created for one pur-
pose, namely, receptacle for the
urine, and as such it is not liable to
any form of disease except by one of
two ways. The first way is from i'm
perfect action of the kidneys. The sec
ond way is from careless local treat
ment of other diseases.
CHIEF CAUSE.
Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kid
neys is the chief cause OF bladder trou-
bles. So the womb, like the bladder,
was created for one purpose, and II not
doctored too much is not liable to
weakness or disease, except in rare
cases. It is situated back OF aud very
close to the bladder, therefore any pain
disease or Inconvenience manifested in
the kidneys, back, bladder or urinary
passage is often by mistake, attributed
to female weakness or womb trouble Of
some sort. The error is easily made
and may be as easily avoided. To find
out correctly, set your urine for twenty
| four hours sedement or settling in

An Extensive Business For Sale,

On account of various matters in
which he is interested demanding so
much OF his attention, R. H. Cowles
finds that he cannot devote the proper
amount of time to his Grocery Business
at Wadsworth and hereby announces
he will sell the building at Wadsworth
in which is located his General Mer-
chandise Store, the lot on which it
stands, d large tire-proof cellar, the
stock of goods on hand, the good will,
etc. The goods are all fresh, nothing
shop worn. The business is a prosper
GUS one and the only reason for selling
is to enable Mr.. Cowles to give all OF his
time to other industries in which he is
engaged. Wadsworth is the best bust
ness town in Nevada today and this
opening offers a splendid opportunity
for some good man to locate in Wads-
worth. Call on Il. II. Cowles at his
store.
