Pro|ongs Life by
Feeding the
Nerves
DIGESTS EVERYTHING
It Touches, Makes Good, Rich
Blood, Cures SIeeplessness
and All Nervous Ailments

There is no class of sufferers whom I
pity more than those suffering from ner-
vousness. They get very little pity; the
public cannot understand them. Their
have no companionship but their own
gloomy thoughts. While others sleep
they toss and turn, worry and fret,
imagine all sorts of impossible things,
magnify their ills and anticipate great
losses and troubles. AS rule it will be
found that nervous people suffer with
some form Of Indigestion; that they have
Deen oVerWorked or Overstrained or are
suffering from some great mental worry.
One of the best tonics is friendship and
sympathy. Every we'll person should
give these sufferers not only encourage
ment, but their heartfelt sympathy.
=, My Paw Paw remedy acts directly on
a food as wei! as stimulant to the
nerves It relieves the tension, quiets
and soothes the nerves. I believe it to
be the greatest nerve tonic and strength
builder ever placed on the market. It is
made from the Paw Paw fruit, which
grows in India and South America.
It will make a new stomach for any
body and enable them to eat all they
like, when they like and what they like.
This new vegetable pepsin is far su-
perior to animal pepsin in aiding
digestion and the upbuilding Of the ner-
vous system. 1t is put up in large bot
ties. A tablespoonful three times day
or whenever needed will give tone and
strength to the weak and debilitated and
will give hope to nerve shattered and
nerve depressed persons. If you are
nervous, il you cannot concentrate your
mind, if you are irritable, if you cannot
sleep, ask your druggist for Munyon's
Paw Paw. Take it faithfully and be-
lieve you will be pleased to write and
thank me for giving you this advice. At
all druggists. Price 81 Qarge bottle).

"dOOD ROADS,"
A LOCAL CITIZEN GIVES HIS VIEWS.

A LOCAL CITIZEN GIVES HIS VIEWS.
The road question is one which IS of
interest to almost every one.
Invariably if we ask one of our city
brethren to visit us in the country,
the first question is: What kind of
roads have you? I have noticed quite
a number of editorials in our daily pa
pers criticising the old custom Of work
ing out the tax on the roads, and I
take exception to this to certain ex-
tent. do not advocate going back to
this custom but do think that the
majority Of the population was as well
satisfied as they could be under the
circumstances. And another thing l
have noticed is the severe criticism of
the farmer for not taking advantage
of the estate aid'' for the betterment
of the roads. Has not the farmer had
all he could do under the condition OF
affairs with land decreasing in value
and taxes increasing? He would be
the last one to put his foot down
against an improvement. But who
pays for this improvement, the farmer
or the advocate? Do not blame the
farmer too much with the tide OF i'm.
migration from the farm turning.
say, let us hope for better days ane
better roads.-[ Hired Man.

TOWN TOPICS
TRINITY MAY LOSE RECTOR.
REV F. F. JOHNSON CALLED AS DIOCE
SAN MISSIONARY FOR WESTERN MASS
ACHUSETTS.

The Rev Frederick F. Johnson, rec
tor of Trinity church in this city, ha
received a communication from tn
Bishop OF Western Massachusetts, in
viting him to the work of diocesan
missionary for that diocese. The OF
flee was created at the last meeting o
the convention, and Mr. Johsnon is th%
first man to be invited to the place
tive one, and one which would bring
the missionary into close and constant
touch with the Bishop, and make him
directly responsible to him. 1t is. un-
derstood that the call carries with il
liberal provision, made by the dio
cese, for salary, and sufficient allow
ance besides for travelling and Office
expense.
Mr. johnson came to Trinity parish
as his first rectorship and is now just
completing his fifth year in that capa'
city. During that time the commu-
meant list has increased from 140 to
200; there has been constant and
strong increase in the contributions OF
the parish for it's own purposes, and an
especially encouraging increase in Of
ferings, for all outside missionary OBJ
jects. The old church building has
long been outgrown and in place of a
property which five years ago was
worth IS, ZOO, the parish has it's beau
tiful new stone church, which is to be
ready by the first of April, and which
will represent an outlay, including the
value Of land and cost of furnishings
of the church, Of over $4,000, and will
be entirely free of debt. OF this
amount $40, 600 was presented by Mrs
A. G. Burrage to the rector two years
ago. There is also one pledge of $500
towards a parish house, which the
church people have anticipated going
toward with as soon as the church
building is finished.
Until the invitation came to Mr.
Johnson from the Bishop, he had no
knowledge of the Massachusetts work,
and no int1mation of call, and he is
not in position at present to decide
the question. The Diocese of Western
Massachusetts was made by dividing
the state few years ago. It's Bishop
is the Rev Alexander H. Vinton, who
was lifelong friend Of Phillips
Brooks, who belongs to his large
minded and great-hearted school of
churchmanship, and under whose NOM
ination Phillips Brooks was elected

Sample Boil weevils Free to Applicants.

Mr.. Franklin Sherman, Jr., Entomologist of
the State Department of Agriculture at Raleigh,
has received several hundred dead specimens of
the cotton boil weevl from Texas. These we're
sent by experts of the National government in
Texas and being placed in small glass vials
with cotton batting, for distribution among the
cotton farmers in North Carolina. Although the
boil weevil is not yet in this State it is almost
certain, Mr.. Sherman thinks, to reach us in
time, though it will probably be several years
yet. By securing these dead specimens from Mr.
Sherman our farmers may familiarize themselves
with the pest in advance. Persons desiring to Sc
cure specimens should write to Mr.. Sherman at
Raleigh enclosing four cents in stamps (not
stuck to the paper), to pay for postage, packing,
etc. Two specimens of the weevil will be sent
to each applicant

Curing Pea Hay In Mecklenburg.

Mr.. Editor Since the arrival of crisp Novem-
Der weather, farm work has undergone change
in our county. During September and October
making hay and picking cotton had the right-of
way, but since the recent frosts and rains, gath
ering corn and sowing wheat is the leading work
farms. One of my neighbors finished
sowing wheat yesterday; but the most of
just beginning to SOW. There will be large
acreage seeded to wheat, as -four is high and
the crop fairly good this year. Only small
acreaoe to oats, owing to the dry
weather during September and October
We have harvested the largest crop of pea-vine
hay ever made in county; and by the way,
our farmers cure pea hay like they cure other
hay, only it takes little more time. You do not
see stakes driven in the ground in the hay fields
to pile the vines around, nor rail pens in which
to place them, but after summing one to two days
the vines are raked and piled at once, and after
remaining in piles three or four, are hauled to
barn or stack. I harvested about eighty tons of
pea hay this season. and it was hauled from five
to seven days, from time of cutting, and I have
never seen nicer hay.
