A SIGHT FOR HoMEMAKERs.

One of the most attractive features of
the State Fair each year is the mammoth
exhibit of the Royal & Borden Furniture
Company of this city. The aisles through
the main exhibition building where this
display is situated are always blocked
with fair seers-the female sex. There
they congregate and admire and discuss
the beautiful home ixings of every kind
and with their eyes aglow with pleasure
they invariably sink upon soft couch or
sit upon an easy chair and admire once
more. This enterprising and substantial
firm endeavor by this display to show to
the housekeepers of North Carolina how
attractive the home can be made and
how cheaply too for it is in the art of
arrangement of furniture and the decora-
tions that a room can be made snug,
tasty or luxurious, and not in the quanti-
ty of pieces therein. For the past six
years they have been awarded the gold
medal for the "best display of any kind
in main exhibition building and thirteen
diplomas. This year their exhibit sur
passes preceding years and they have
again been awarded the medal and diplo-

J. W. BARBER BUGGY EXHIBIT.
The Largest in Floral Hall. Has Taken All
the Ribbons

The very biggest exhibit in the main
building at the Fair is that of j. w. Bar
Der G. Son. The carriages. buggies and
wagons displayed by this we'll known
concern occupy the entire width of the
west end of Floral Hall, and extend in
four lines for more than one hundred feet
There are no less than forty odd buggies
on exhibition, and, as usual, they have
taken all the blue ribbons offered for OK
cellence in the different styles, and the
gold medal as we'll. 1t will be remem-
bered that j. W. Barber &, Son have re-
peated this ribbon and medal taking per-
Torrance at no less than five successive
State Fairs, wonderful record.
All of the buggies are for sale at spe-
cial prices for the occasion. They are
all likewise especially finished for prize
winning purposes, and thus one is bound
to get bargain when he purchases one
of them.
Among the makers represented are the
Columbus Buggy Company, the Water
town Carriage Company, the Rock Hill
Buggies, Tyson & Jones, A. Wrenn &
Son. the Corbett Buggy Company, the
Studebaker Wagons and Carriages, the
Mitchell q Lewis Wagons
The Columbus Buggy Company, of Co.
lumbus. Chic. has the unique honor of
being the possessor of gold medal from
the Paris Exposition in 1900, the highest
ny only award given to American car
riage manufacturers.
Besides the buggies and carriages of
all kinds, solid, pneumatic and cushion
tired, J. w. Barber & Son have a splen-
did display of harness of every description
as we'll as very many elegant robes, all
tie very best of their respective kinds.
The Corbett buggies, mentioned above
are we'll worth seeing. They are beau
ties and the prices asked for them are
wonderfully low. This firm, it will be re-
called, only offered their products to the
trade on June 1st of this year Their
work in cushions is really splendid.
Mr.. Toler, who has charge of the Bar
Der exhibit, announces that today all the
vehicles will be offered for special prices
at great sacrifice. So there is no time
to lose.

SEASONABLE HINTS.
Guard Your Health in Fall and Early
Winter.

Winter.
A change from warm to cold is always
attended with more danger than from
cold to warm temperature, hence the
greater mortality from lung and throat
diseases at this season Of the year as
compared with spring.
The best protection against colds is not
so much in extra clothing as in good
digestion.
If the digestion and circulation are
good, colds will be unknown.
Poor digestion causes poor circulation
of the blood and when in this condition
severe colds are contracted on the slight
est provocation.
People who make a regular practice Of
taking Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after
meals are free from colds, simply be-
cause their digestion is perfect, the heart
strong and regular, and the whole system
fortified against disease.
1t requires little argument to convince
anyone that the best safe guard against
colds, pneumonia and change of tempera-
ture is a good stomach.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets taken after
meals are dissolved and mingling with the
food cause 1t to be promptly digested
and assimilated; they do this because they
contain nothing but harmless digestive
elements, which digest meat eggs and
other food even when the stomach itself
is weak and flaccid.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets make people
we'll and keep them we'll, and the best
habit you can acquire is to keep daily use
of them at meals to make the digestive
organs strong and vigorous.
