Personal.

Mr.. J. H. Heuay. of Littleton, was
n caller at this office Tuesday. He
reports good crops in his section and
the farmers in better spirits than
they are in the tobacco belt. They
raise little tobacco going in more for
cotton and home supplies. And that
is the secret of successful farming no
matter what ones money crop is.
The man who produces on the farm
the things that are required for man
and beast is the independent, success
full farmer. Mr. Heuay formerly lived
in this county-was here when Vance

Is Indigestion a Disease?

The best medical authorities say that indi-
gestion is not always caused by diseased
stomach, but may result from disordered
liver, constipation, excitement, etc The
cause is OF little consequence when Rydales
Stomach Tablets arc taken, as they never
fail to digest the food, check fermentation,
free the stomach from irritating acids and an
excess of gas. They relieve at once Bechng,
Heartburn, Sour Stomach, Fullness after
Eating, etc. Rydales Stomach Tablets have
a specific tonic effect on the stomach and or
gans of assimilation and are guaranteed to
cure the worst forms of stomach trouble.

Raleigh Post.

Raleigh Post.
The Winston Sentinel calls atten-
ton to the fact, and an unusual
thing it is, too, that this month has
five weekly pay days. five Sundays
and five Mondays. Fifteen Satur-
days, Sundays and Mondays in one
month, and that the dog-day month,
too, is a cause for serious if not
prayerful consideration. Whether
this phenomenon has had anything
to do with the accidents, crimes, sui
cides, defeat of the Mecklenburg good
roads proposition and the low price
of tobacco we are unable to say. All
these things have happened in con-
junction, but whether any one has
caused the other or all caused by
something else yet undiscovered some
other wiseacre than this writer must
disclose.

Rev. Jesse H. Page.

Copying what the GOLD LEAF re-
Gently said about the critical illness
of the venerable and beloved Rev.
Jesse H. Page at his home in this
place, the News and Observer says:
There is no minister in North Carolina
who has more devoted friends than the
venerable and beloved Rev. Jesse H. Page,
who is now living at Henderson, where
he is quite ill.
The Weldon News, among many of
whose readers Mr.. Page lived and
labored for years both as teacher
and preacher, says this of him:
The News learns with sincere regret
that Rev. Jesse ii. Page is critically ill
at his home in Henderson. This will be
sad news to the people of Halifax county
who have known and loved him for so
many years.
And from Our Church Record,
Greensboro, we take this:
1t is difficult for those who know Rev.
Jesse H. Page only in the vigor OF his
strong manhood to think of him now as
helpless invalid But such he is accord
ing to the report of the Henderson GOLD
LEAF. His legs can no longer support
him and he must be wheeled about in a
chair. But such is the order of nature
and it is vain thing to boast of human
strength of any sort. Frailty, feebleness,
failing, belong to our state and we
should ever recognize the fact and act
accordingly. There is one good thing
about the feebleness of age, and that is,
it does not usually last long. And then
it lies near the Golden Gate OF Life!
May our venerable brother as he descends
into the dark valley be ever cheered by
the prospect beyond the River!

Rydales Elixir,

The new scientific discovery for diseases of

ciple differing greatly from the old style of
Cough Medicines, which are composed chiefly
of wild cherry and tar, which do little more
than stimulate the lining of the throat and
lungs. Rydales Elixir strikes at the root
OF the trouble, it kills the microbes that cause
throat and lung diseases. 1t removes the

There are no Bitter Christians.
Townsville Charity and Children.

We often hear the expression she is
a bitter Presbyterian "a bitter
Baptist, "a bitter Methodist" etc
Did anybody ever hear of a bitter
Christian? These bitter people would
better look sharp, or the devil will
get the last one of them. The Lord s
followers are not bitter but sweet;
Christianity is not vindictive and
mean, but gentle and forbearing and
patient. If they say you are bitter,
oh man or woman, stop and see if
the charge is true; if so, you will do
we'll to look to your own safety.

Warrant Law Needed.

The need of vagrant law-One
sufficiently strong to serve the desired
purpose-is seen and felt daily. True,
there is already on our statute books
a so-called vagrant law but it is
weak and defective, totally made
quate to meet the demands of such a
law. There are numbers of persons
in this town who should properly be
classed as Migrants and made to go
to work or move out. Nor is this
class confined to the negro element
alone. 1t represents whites as we'll
as blacks-dead-be beats and gamblers
and habituates of houses of i'll repute
lazy loafers without any visible
means of support who live as leeches
upon the bounty and industry OF
others, a menace to the morals and
well-being of the community. The
presence of such characters does the
town no good and they should not
be tolerated. If there is not a law
by which they can be dealt with as
they deserve they should be notified
to get out for their own good and
the good of the town. And their
white skins should not count in their
favor, but rather against them if
anything. This fact does not make
them one whit better than Others OF
their character and kind.

Letter to J. S. P0ythress.

Dear Sir:-You ask how many square
feet gallon will cover Depends on con-
dition of building.
There is great deal of lying on this
point. The stock claim of lying paints is
300 square feet, two coats. It's lie, as
a rule.
Devoe covers 300 to 500, our agents
think We think 300 too low and 500
too high; though doubtless, they both
occur.
How much the other paints cover is
equally doubtful; we guess 100 to 400.
The truth is found in another COMPARE
son. Devoe is all paint, true paint, strong
paint, and full measure. the others in
general are, at the best, diluted. adulter-
ated and short measure. They cover &C

Feline Freaks.

Our good friend Mr.. J. r. Clack
comes forward with the most remark
able freak we have yet seen or heard
of. 1t is double Siamese twin kittens.
That is to say four members OF the
feline family grown together or united
after the fashion OF the famous Sia-
mese twins, Chang and Eng, whose
local habitation during their later
years was in Surry county, and whose
dust finds repose in North Carolina
soil.
The kittens in question were born
Tuesday night of last week. They
were united by a small cord or liga-
ment of flesh about the size of a lead
pencil. The place OF contact was
about two-thirds back from the
middle of the body and at point
square across from the intersection
of the hind legs. The kittens were
born alive and they appeared to be
we'll and hearty, all nursing at the
same time. Friday two Of them be-
came separated from the other two,
the ligament sloughing off. One OF
them was minus a hind-foot, this
apparently rotting off, thus releasing
it from the body Of the kitten to
which it had grown. One of the kit
tens was dead when it was discovered
that the separation had taken place,
and the three-leg one died short
while afterwards. Saturday the other
two became separated and they are
still living.
We saw and examined these kittens
carefully and youch for their being
united in the.manner indicated.
