IF a city is to be Judged by

fair test of it's claim to high
position among is sister citles)
Mess. I. L. Davis & Son are
certainly entitled to thegreat-
est credit in establishing a
name for Morganton in the
category of commercial cen
tiers of North Carolina, of
which any city may well be
proud. A description of this
house is necessarily made
quate and it is a case where
the stock and the handsomely
appointed brick building must
be seen to be appreciated. It

ton those firms who thor
oughly understand and re

Of increasingtrade. The foun-
der of this business, Mr.. l.. l
Davis and his son Mr.. w. /.
Davis stand conspicueusly in
the front ranks of the COM
mercial arena of this city and
can only be classed among the
most enterprising and saga
cious business men of the Old
North State, who conduct bus
mess upon the most metropol-
itan and liberal plans-adher-
ing closely to honesty in all
transactions.
/. This. business dates its-in,
ception from 1864 and has beer
under the most success oper.
ationg since, steadily increas-
ing it's scope of trade and ia.

furnishings Of every descrip
ton while the shoe depart
ment is replete with the good:

To the efforts Of this hous,
can be absorbed in a grea
measure the growth and pros

STILL IN JAIL
Is Fleming Failed to Give BOnd-HiS
Wife'S Efforts.
POS Front street.

Clarance c. Fleming, of Fleming
who was charged with emibezzling $500
belonging to the Chicago Fertilizer
Company, and was bound over to the
next grand jury is still in Jail, as he
was unable to furnish bond Saturday
He hoped that his relatives would
straighten the matter with the COM
pany and get his out of Jail. One OF
his uncles was here Saturday, but
when he learned the facts of the case
he refused assistance. 1t is claimed
that this is not Fleming's first offense
that he on one occasion used money
belonging to farming implemeni
company, and that he once before used
money belonging to a fertilizer comp
any. On these occasions it is said that
his relatives came to his assistance
but it seems now that he has played
the game once too often. Everyone
agrees that a term in Jail will do him
good. However, all express the great
est sympathy for his wife, who is
deeply grieved. While here she has
made the greatest effort to secure fol-
her husband good legal advice and
bondsmen.

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional rem
edies. Deafness is caused by an in
fammed condition of the mucuos lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is in1amed you nave a rumb-
ling sound of imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result, and unless the lnflamma-
tion can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine cases
out of ten are caused by Cataprh,
which is nothing but an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by

Ideel Fall Weather


The weather just now and in fact
for the two months past has been
truly ideal. Bright sunny skies and
cool bracing air such as we are hav-
ing is all the soul Of man can desire
in the way of climate. Then the
farmer is thereby enabled to fully
profit of the bounteous harvest the
Good Lord has vouchsafed unto us.
Every lock of cotton, every head of
rice, every stalk of cane, every cal of
corn, every potato, every blade of
hay, will soon be gathered and stow
ed away. Unfortunate indeed is he
who has not made money farming
this year, for if his crop was a failure
he could obtain good wages working
for his neighbor.

Seed Cotton Active.

The round bale cotton gin people
from New Iberia have entered the
local cotton market here and at
Erath and have livened up things
wonderfully in the way of stimulating
prices Of seed cotton. The market
was up to $3.50 last week and has
remained pretty steady this week at
$50, and as a result cotton is coming
to town in long wagon trains.
