Women and Jewels.

Jewels, candy, flowers, man-that is
The order of woman's preferences.
Jewels form a magnet of mighty power
to the average woman. Even that great
est of all jewels, health, is often ruined
in the strenuous efforts to make or save
the money to purchase them. II wo-

ed gem, then let her fortify herself
against the insidious consequences of

Reflections of a Bachelor.

The time when everybody reforms is

Engaged couples fly very high kite
with a very short TAIL
To the just king there are many
glimpses of sunshine through the reign.
The more men you lend money to
the less there are from whom you can
borrow.
Music is different, but nearly every
thing else is the same at wedding and
a funeral.
When a girl begins to fall in love she
acts as if she were fly trying to catch

Just because a man doesn't marry 0
woman is not a sign that he doesn't
love her, especially when she is marri

Explaining His Presence.

A young lady who had been pouring
tea at function in a suburban New
jersey town, having toward the end of
the affair become somewhat fatigued,
sat down in quiet corner of the room
where she witnessed the following Incl
dent; A young man came in and made
his way to the hostess, greeting her

Notice.

On the 25th of this month there will
be grand celebration at Sycamore
Shoals, Garter county. This is where
our forefathers mobalized themselves
when they started on their march for
Kings Mountain and there put the
British army to flight and turned the
tide of the revolution. This will be a
gala day and one long to be remember
ed. There will be prominent speakers
from over the state and we want repre-
sentatives from every county in the 1st

Joint Debates.

For time there was promise of Sc
ries of Joint debates between Hon. Jas.
B. Frazier, democratic candidate for
governor, andy the way, who is he?
the republican candidate for governor
of this state.
There was some hitch in the arrange
ments and quite volume of cores
pondence, but it now seems that the
matter has been dropped.
1t is we'll. Joint debates in these
days are an unnecessary bore. No man
can do himself justice when running
for an important office who is not al
lowed at least two hours time in which
to address an audience. His adversary
will require another two hours and
each will require fifteen minutes for
lagnaippe, making in all four hours and
thirty minutes of oratory.
There are limits to the physical en-
durance of an audience. The people
like to be entertained but not harassed.
They like to be tickled but not tickled
to death. They like to courteously re-
ceive and hear distinguished candidates
for high office, but they would prefer
to hear them one at time. They de-
sire all the political information they
can get but they do not want it in he
roic doses.
One good speech is quite enough for
for the average citizen in one day. If

Alarmed Over Its Appearance.

Bainbridge, O., Sept. 17.-People
living in the Paint Greek Valley are
greatly alarmed over the appearance of
smoke and sulphurous gases from Cop
peras Mountain, which can be seen
from this place. Ever since the first
eruption of Mont Pelee smoke has is
sued from the mountain at intervals,
but only within the past few days have
the smoke and gases become especially
noticeable, and many attribute it to the
eruptions in Martinique. Investigation
shows that the slate in the mountain
has become hot and some of it hes be-
come a dull red from the action of the
heat. The smoke issues from the side
and not the top of the mountain and
scientists will be asked to make thor
ough investigation.
