The Genuine VS.. Counterfeits.

The genuine is always better than a
counterfeit, but the truth of this state
ment is never more forcibly realized or
when you compare the genuine De-
Wits Witch Hazel Salve with the
many counterfeits aud worthless sub
stltutes that are on the market. w.
5. Ledbetter, of Shreveport, La, says:
"After using numerous other remedies
without benefit, one box of DeWitt's
Witch Hazel Salve cured me-" For
blind, bleeding, itching and protruding
piles no remedy is equal to DeWitt's
w itch Hazel Salve. Sold by City

Was there ever in the past history
of horrors such an accident as that
at the little village of Frank in the
foothills of the Canadian Rockies ?
At a midnight hour thousands of
tons of rock-caused by a assure in
an overhanging mountain-are hurl-
ed upon the town, crushing houses
like eggs-shells and grinding to pow
der their sleeping inmates. Not con-
tent with the havoc, the accident is
intensified by the damming up of
the river that flowed through the
town, thus placed in jeopardy of a
Johnstown disaster. And yet again,
part of the mass of earth from the
mountain top fell upon the mouth
of the shaft of a mine, entombing
a number of miners who had to dig
their way out, which they were for
tunately able to do, for aid could
not reach them from the surface.
Rockslide, food, mine-entombment-
all in one! A triple disaster that
breaks the record.-Charlotte Obser-
yer, 1st.

A Failure in Sofa Bean Growing.
Editor of The Progressive Farmer:

Editor of The Progressive Farmer:
I have seen nothing but praise for
the sofa beans in The Progressive
Farmer for some years. Last year
1 sent to T. ". Wood, Richmond,
Va, for one bushel, which I sowed on
one acre with oats, as was recon-
mended by some one at that time.
I broke the land well with two
horse low,broadcasted stable manure
over the land and three or four hun
dred pounds of guano. The result
as to sofa beans was a complete fail
ure.
These sofa beans are nothing but
a poor quality of garden peas. These
grew up about three to six inches
high and died. This is my expe-
rience with sofa beans.
I have a small plot of land in lu-
cerne clover which has cut about Is
inches after being grazed- during
winter by chickens. 1t is fine for
chickens. 1 cut it up fine for them.
Yours truly,
II. F. FREEMAN.

carnegle's Gift to Tuskegee.

Nj. Andrew Carnegie's great gift
to Tuskegee Institute, Booker Wash
ington's school, is explained in the
following letter to Trustee Baldwin:
"New York, April II, 1903.
"Wm. q. Baldwin, Jr., Trustee.
"My Dear Friend: I have in
structed MI. Franks, my cashier, to
deliver to you as trustee of Tuskee-
gee Institute, 100000, 5 per cent
United States Steel Company, first
mortgage bonds, towards the en-
dowment fund. / give this without
reservation, except that 1 require
that suitable provision be made
from the gift for the wants of
Booker Washington and his family
during his own or his wife's life. I
wish that great and good man to be
entirely free from pecuniary cares,
that he may be free to devote him
self to his great mission.
"To me he seems one of the
greatest living men because his
work is unique, the modern Moses,
who leads his race and lifts it
through education to even better
and higher things than a land over
flowing with milk and honey. His
tory is to- tell of two Wash
ingtons, one white, the other black,
both fathers of their people.
"I am satisfied that the serious
race problem of the South is to be
solved wisely only through Nj.
Washington's policy of education
which he seems to have been specif-
cally born-a slave among slaves
to establish and in his own day
greatly advance.
"Glad am I to be able to assist
this good work in which you and
others so zealously labor.
"Truly yours,

In justice to myself, and for the

RIGHT VEHICLES AT RIGHT
PRICES.

Time was when to afford ones self
a neat, comfortable and ~serviceable
conveyance meant an expenditure of
from 1925 to $3.50. The family car
riage or the young mans buggy was
then a luxury to be enjoyed by but
few. But times have changed in this
regard. If one but gets into the
proper buying channels so that he
avoids payment of cumulative profits
to jobber, dealer and agent, in other
words, buys from a we'll established,
reputable concern which makes ship
ments direct from the factory to the
user, a first class vehicle is within
easy reach of every one who can lay
any claim to being well-to-do. Old
time exorbitant prices are still pre-
valent in many quarters. They are
a necessity where goods pass through
so many peoples hands and must be
made to pay SO many profits. But
happily now purchasers are not COM
PEELED to pay them. There are other
places to buy, getting the same quail
ity of goods at great reductions i'll
price. A vehicle concern such as we
have in mind is the Marvin Smith
Company of Chicago. 1t is doing
much to popularize the prices of all
classes of good vehicles and buggies,
phaetOns, surveys, carriages, etc. The
illustration shows a standard, we'll
made, ~serviceable, stylish buggy
which they are selling for $500. Lo-
cal dealers everywhere would claim
to be making a rare bargain on this
same vehicle at 800. This is but n
OF a long line of vehicles, compre-
hendlng every purpose and style
which this house is selling at such
prices as readers have doubtless
noted from their advertisements reg
ularly seen in columns. Dealers
agree that by patronizing them you
have the opportunity to examine and
make choice before buying. This
does not compensate for the high
prices charged. The fact is, that the
Company named ships anything Won
may select from their complete We
hlcle catalogue showing many times
oVer the varieties and styles the local
dealer carries, without any payment
n advance, and permits full and free
examination without obligation to
purchase If not satisfactory. Dealing
with them is as safe and practically
as prompt as with local dealers. They
make 1T possible for everyone to own
a good conveyance by paying onlv
reasonable prices. There is no neces.
sIty at this day of paying more than
their prices. 1t does not bring bet

The Teachers Meeting.

We very much regret that absence
from the city last week prevents us
from giving proper account of the
teachers meeting which was held at
the court house on Friday and Satur-
day, so that we are unable to mention
at length the different numbers on the
program, but we learn that there was
a good attendance, and the discussions
and papers were all very interesting
and contained much of value to those
who heard them. The address of Dr.
Gillian was a gem of thought and
eloquence, deep and scholarly, and is
very highly spoken of by all The
different meetings being held by
Supt. Hook in all parts of the county
bring the teachers together, and the
benefit of the experiences of each
other, as well as theories advanced by
them, always prove VALUABLE. >at

MRS. ANNA ENGER.

Mrs. Anna P. Engor, mother of L.
NJ. Enger, assistant editor of DEBORAH
Posten, passed away on Sunday morn
ing at the home of her son in this
city after sickness of year or so.
She was born in MEDIUM, Praestegjaeld,
Norway, Oct. /, 1926, and was a little
over rs years of age. She was married
in 1855, and moved to Eggedal, where
she lived for a number of years. In
1877 her husband died, and in 1886 she
came to America, having lived with
her son most of the time since. Six
children, two SONS and four daughters,
were born to their union, one of the
sons having died some time ago. One
daughter lives in Christiania, Nor
way, another in Rochester, MINI. ),
another in Cottonwood county, Mimi.
and another in this city. The funeral
services will be held this afternoon
from the home of her son at 80 and
from the Synod church at 900
O'Clock. The sympathies of all are
extended to the bereaved relatives.
