only eight pews, Of which seldom more

How a Meaning chnnre.,

"Cheat' is word that now has a
very ugly sound. To cheat man is
to defraud him Originally the word
conveyed no such meaning. The old
word "escheat" referred to the dues
that fell to The crown. 1t came from
the French eehoir (Latin, excadere)
The modern meaning that attaches ia
the word tells sad tale OF the extor
ton and greed that must have been
practiced in collecting the dues.

giving balsamic air for few minutes
and your catarrh will be cured.
Ia this city and neighboring towns
there are hundreds who can testify to
the remarkable powers of Hyomei to
cure catarrh. Many of the staunchest
friends of this remedy today began its
use with little hope that they would
be cured, but as the Dawson Drug Co.
offered to refund the money If it did
not cure they decided to try 1t on that
plan, and were soon restored 10

BILTMORE MANAGER HERE.
Head of Famous Vanderbilt Es-

Mr.. Geo. T. Weston, manager of the
Biltmore estate, the famous country
place of Vanderbilt in North Caro-
lima, was in Dawson Thursday. He
made the trip to this city to inspect
several of the cows owned by the
Dawson dairy farm with view to buy
ing them and placing them, with other
cows, on exhibition at the st. Louis
exposition.
The stock that he took the four
hundred mile trip to see is among the
finest in America. The cows are i'm
ported and are valued at 81, 200 each.
1t will be thus seen tGat they are very
much to be desired heifers and will
compare favorably with the stock
owned by the Bi!tmore estate itself.
which is perhaps the best bloOded
stock of the kind in the whole country.
