THE AGONY
OF
INDIGESTION
HOW A VIRGINIA WOMAN
WAS CURED.

Mrs. S. P. Thompson, of Rodophil,
Va, suffered terribly with indigestion
for years. Every mouthfu1 of food
was a martyrdonl. Every meal was
repetition of agony-until she heard
of YAGER'S SARSAPARILLA
WITH CELERY. From the first
bottle, there was an improvement.
Food began to do her good instead of
iniuring her health. Mealtime be-
came a pleasure instead of time
of suffering. YAGER'S SARSAPA-
RILLA changed the whole aspect of
life for Mrs. Thompson, it has done
the same for hundreds of others in
similar situations. Her gratitude to
the medicine does not stop with SIM
ply approaching it-she has told her
friends and neighbors of it, and of the
wonderful cure it has effected in her
case.
WAGER S SARSAPARILLA WITH
CELERY is working astounding cures
in hundreds of towns to-day. Every
mail brings ysetablc additions to the

cunu1ated as to its curative power i'll

MUST HAVE GOOD ROADS.
Their Establishment Is Essential to
the Maintenance of Rural Free
Delivery Routes.

Good roads are one of the features
necessary to the establishment of rural
free delivery routes. 1t is evident that
the post Office department meant bust
ness when it declared at the start that
no free delivery routes would be
maintained over poor roads. Not only
must the roads be good in the begin
ming, but they must be kept in proper
order, or the route will be abolished.
An eastern postmaster recently re-
ceived the following letter, which
shows plainly the attitude of the post
Office department.:
Reports recently received show that
the roads travelled by rural carrier
from your office are in bad condition
and likely to be impossible in bad
weather. You will please notify the
patrons of routes one and two thai the
present lack of attention to these
roads will, if continued, be likely to en-
danger the permanency of the rural
free delivery service there.
"a rural carrier cannot possibly
make regular time or perform efficient
service over poor roads, particularly
during the winter and spring months.
The summer is the time for mending
these highways, which are really serv-
ing as post roads, and which should
always be in passabls condition for
the transport of mail. It is the hope
Of the department that the patrons
who are receiving the benefit of the
service appreciate it, and that an eff
fort to repair all deficient portions be-
fore winter sets in, SO that the perma-
nency of rural free delivery service
may be insured. "-Orange Judd

the contrivance, with the excep-

rides over the snow and packs it down,
giving a firm roadbed without piling
up snow at the sides. Any desired

Excellent Device for Keeping Hogs
Out of the Trough While Pour

A good device for keeping hogs out
of the trough while pouring the slop
in the trough is made in the following
manner: Have the trough setting

If you have an old door as long as

NOT TO DESIGNATE.
Raleigh News and Observer.

Judge Purnell rendered a rather
important decision yesterday touch
ing the rights of refefERS in designat-
ing newspapers for the publishing Of
bankruptcy notices. 1t seems that
one of the referees in bankruptcy in
this district entered an order desig-
mating two newspapers in his divis-
ion which bankruptcy notices should
be published. The clerk of the court
submitted the order to the District
Judge and asked instructions as to
entering the same on record. The
Judge thereupon rendered a decision
in which he holds that the referee
has no right generally to designate
newspapers for the publication of
bankruptcy notices, but the referee
may in a particular case, where it is
to the convenience of parties in in
terest, designate gsome additional
newspaper in which notices in such
cases shall be published, and the or
der thus made by the referee only
applies to the particular case.

CAN'T HELP
THEM.

Mr.. E. M. Borst, of the Atlantic
Coast Line freight depot in this city,
and Capt. r. c.. jenkins, yard engi-
neer, ARE exercising their artistic skill
and devoting their spare moments
in identifying the triangular plots
between the tracks on the yard.
They have a number of flower beds
laid off in shapely forms and IA. G.
L." growing in violets. They have
some rose bushes, but not enough,
and as the ARGUS man was admir-
ing the work of their hands while
waiting for a freight bill Mr.. Borst
intimated that, "Bob and I just long
for a few more rose trees"-or words
to that effect.
So, if any of our readres have any
rose paintings to spare we suggest
that they send them down to the
A. G. l.. freight depot to Messrs.
Borst and jenkins. We are quite
sure they will be thankfully received
and joyously utilized in identifying
the surroundings down there, and in
pleasing the eye of any beholder.

thing to them is the way our officials

thing to them is the way officials
interpret the law.
We, as women, have always
thought the enforcement of law was
first to punish the offender, in expi-
alton for his crime, that he may suf-
fer a just penalty, then, asan example
to others, THAT they follow not in
his footsteps. And then, by the en-
forcement Of law, to make the GRIM
inal a better man after his term of
imprisonment. Our officials seem to
think that the law is the only pun
ishment, thatmust begin the moment
the person is confined within the
Jail. According to equity these men,
unless their crimes are very black
ones, are already being punished be-
fore their sentence has been pro-
nounced.
I am glad to say when the report
was made the Village Improvement
Department appointed committees
to visit the Jail weekly, and report
through the columns of the ARGUS,
until there will be such a sentiment
on the part Of our christian commuu-
ity that we will no longer have a
pest-hole for our criminals, but a
place that is clean, sanitary and
moral. That those who commit
crimes may recognize by their treat
ment that they have violated laws
made by a good people for a good
purpose, and they will become use
full, law-abiding citizens, b~ecausessthe
law founded upon the divine law has
been carried out for their good, and
the good of others. Only through the
channel of humane treatment can
hearts that are hard as stone, be
reached. The present condition de-
moralizes and makes more cruel and
more brutal the offender, and we be-
lieve it only requires this reminder
to the good citizens OF Wayne coun-
ty to see that there is a speedy re-
form in this instance.

Dewey Bros have just completed
another locomotive at their machine
shops in this city. When a reporter
called at their yards this morning
the machinists were just regulating
the safety valve and testing the ma
chine with 120 pounds of steam.
Everything worked as accurate as a
watch and the locomotive will be
put on a fiat a tomorrow and ship
ped to White Oak, a station between
NeWbern and Jacksonville, for a
lumber company located at that
point. This firm make a speciality
of building tramway locomotives,
and their simplicity Of construction
combined with their cheapness make
them popular with saw mill men.
This reporter was informed that the
firm had four orders ahead for lust
such locomotives as they will ship
tomorrow. They can turn out one
about every thirty days.
