PEOPLE WHO EAT
Will Be Interested in This.

Our Mammoth Refrigerator has arrived
1t is a special design which the factory has
been several months in making for us. 1t is
the largest and handsomest one in the State,
in fact small cold storage plantin itself. 1t
has ball bearings double glass roller top de-
partments with sliding glass bottom shelves
an extension top with mirror back, cold air
chambers for the equal distribution of chilled
air to all sections and parts. All doors and
shelves are SO arranged that when open there
can be no loss of cold air. By having auto
matte closing devices that intercept these
cold air passages a saving of cold air is ef-
fected while at the same time preventing hot
air filing the ice chamber. 1t is perfect in
detail, unique in arrangement, very attrac-
tive and beautiful-the handsOmest thing of
the kind made.
We invite one and all to visit our already
up-to-date Grocery Store and this new
addition: The piece of furniture itself with
its mirrors, roller top doors, solid nickel
hinges and mOuntings would be fit thing,

WINGED that your town possesses one of the
most modern and model up-to-the-times
grocery stores i'll the State and from which
you can now get things both in and out of
season. and the beauty OF it is you get them
at the same low price as usual
Having said this much by way of intro
ducing our new refrigerator, by the use of
which we can keepcOol andre such articles
as could not be handled satisfactorily if at
ALL in summer time without cold storage,

Cross Ray Machine and Latest EIec-
tricai Apparatus for the Treatment
of Disease.
Dr. R. J. Gill has introduced an inno-
walton hereabouts in the treatment OF
disease He has at considerable expense
installed in his Office the latest electrical
apparatus for this purpose including a
cross ray machine Apart from this is a
galvanic battery of modern pattern and
great power where the electric current is
gently sent through the nerves OF the pa
tient when treatment in this form is re-
quired.
Electricity from the other apparatus is
applied in a different manner. The pa
tent takes seat on small table which
is insulated by means OF it's glass legs.
The feet are placed upon a copper plate,
the proper connections are made and the
machine is operated at a high rate OF
speed by means of a crank wheel. In
stantly the machine and the atmosphere
around are ablaze and alive with cleo
tricity. You feel it in your hair, in your
nerves, see it in your clothes, on your

the results beneficial. A well person feels
better for the experience, the sick, ner
yous, rheumatic, are made to feel well
again-after a sufficient course of treat
ment.
Electricity is life, and this manner Of
applying it is the most scientific and sue
cessful method that has been discovered.
Electric baths are also given DR.. Gill be-
ing thoroughly equipped to administer
every form OF electrical treatment for ev-
cry disease for which it has been found
beneficial
DR.. Gill will take pleasure in showing
visitors and explaining the operation of
his electrical apparatus and appliances
and exemplifying the various courses of
treatment and the different diseases for
which it is recommended His office and
sanitarium is near the Southern Railway
station and such an institution is some
thing of which the town as well as the
Doctor himself has cause to be proud.

Letter to Frank L. Page.
Henderson, n. c.

Dear Sir: 1t is all very well for us to
say that it takes fewer gallons of Devoe
Lead and Zinc to paint house than it
does of mixed paints; but you want to
know why.
For the same reason that it takes less
good cows milk to feed baby than it
does of skinned milk.
Most mixed paints are fifteen to eighty
per cent. NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
but true Water isn't paint. Barytes
isn't paint. Whiting isn't paint. Benzine
isn't paint. Petroleum isn't paint. Fish
oil isn't paint. None of these are right
part OF a good paint. None of these do
the work that belongs to paint.
All they do is to fill the can.
Devoe Lead and Zinc is one-hundred
per cent. paint. The adulterated mixed
paints are only twenty to eighty five per
cent. paint.
Mixed paint ought to be from fifteen to
eighty per cent. cheaper than Devoe Lead
and Zinc-nO; the worst of them Oughtn'
to be anything They waste your money;
you not only must buy more gallons, but
you must pay the painter for spreading
the extra number of gallons; and paint
ing costs three times as much as the
paint.
Yours truly,

In one of the wifes letters written
to Jesse o. Palmer. the murdered
man whose body was taken from a
box car at Ration last Sunday she
speaks about him going to visit a
brother of hers and cautions him In
these touching words:
For my sake do not allow him 10
see you drink. sweetheart"
Just these few words tell a story
full of pathos-of wifely devotion. Of
hardship, misfortune, tears and pray
ers. and embrace a whole temperance
sermon In themselves. Drink was
evidently the unfortunate mans be.

primary cause or All his woes, and
