No State in the Union perhaps has
a greater diversity OF resources than
North Carolina. And in nothing is
1t richer than in mineral waters
whose curative properties are recog-
nized lar and wide. The latest dis
covery of this kind is that of the
Buckhorn Lithia Spring, one mile
from Bullock, Granville county, on
the line Of the Durham & keysville
(Southern) Railway, between Oxford
and Clarksville.
The story OF the discovery and bene-
fetal results obtained from the use
OF this water make interesting read
ing. The sons of Mr.. B. T. Hicks,
on whose land the spring is located,
while working in a field near by dis
covered a small stream gushing up
out of rock. The water looked pure
and sparkling and being thirsty they
stopped to drink. 1t had marked
effect and they drank of it again, and
repeatedly. Mr. Hicks was away
from home at the time having gone
to well known spring in the West
ern part of the State seeking relief
from an aggravated case of catarrh
of the stomach. At the end of three
or four weeks he returned home ap-
parently no better and detected in
spirit. He passed through Hender-
son and told friends here he was GO
ing home to die and would make his
arrangements accordingly as soon as
he got back.
When Mr.. Hicks reached home the
boys told him about the water they
had found and the peculiar effect it
had upon those who drank it. They
suggested that he try it but he had
lost all hope. If the water and medi-
cines he had been using for so long a
time were without avail surely he did
not expect to find relief from any
water or other thing on his own
premises. But tincredulous as he was
like drowning person grasping at
a straw he determined to give this
water trial.
There was no spring there-merely |
a small stream gushing up out of a
rock. Perhaps no one would have |
thought of taking notice of it or
drinking at such place but boys.
Mr.. Hicks began drinking the water |
and soon commenced to improve.
The effect was marked from the very |
first. The man who went home to |
die last summer is today a we'll man
strong, vigorous, Eearty-a walk !
ing, living illustration of the marve-
lous curative powers OF this wonder |
full water after six Or eight months |
use of it.
After using the water awhile and
finding there was virtue in it, Mr..
Hicks cut away the rock through !
which it had forced itself in a tiny
stream all through the ages undis- |
covered and unutilized and released
a bold spring which flows at the rate
of a gallon minute This in brief |
is thestOry of the discovery of this
new elixir of life.
A gentleman from Baltimore came
out to Mr. Hicks On a hunting ex-
pedition last FALL He was a sufferer
from kidney trouble and was induced
to drink this water. So decided was it's
effect and SO marked the improve
ment in his case after only few
weeks use of it that he took sample
home and had it analyzed at his own
expense-at a cost of $500. He
has since had the water shipped to
him by the barrel and is now a sound
man travelling in Europe.
After having the analysis made the
gentleman in question sent it to Mr.
Hicks and advised him to have the
spring capitalized and exploit the
water for the benefit of suffering hu-
manity. He says he would not take
thousands of dollars for what it. has
done for him. This Mr.. Hicks has
done Messrs. J. A. Kelly and R. H.
Hood, of Henderson: purchasing an
interest in the spring. The name
''Buckhorn" has been given to it and
Bnckhorn Lithia Water will be vigor-
ously pushed by these enterprising
gentlemen. That it is destined to
attain wide sale and great repu,
tation admits of no doubt. The
analysis shows it to contain double
the quantity of lithia of the most
celebrated lithia waters known. AS
q diuretic, Alternative and laxative it
has no superior. Its effect upon the
stomach, bowels, kidneys and blad-
der is very pronounced and its use is
attended with the most beneficial re-
suits. A number of persons in Hen
derson have been drinking Buckhorn
Lithia Water for some time and en-
thusiastic are the praises bestowed
upon it.
Henderson will be the principal
distributing point thus adding
another important industry to our
town.
THE CHRIS rIAN churches at Con-
stantinople, Turkey, and Yokahoma, Japan,
have long used the Longman & Martinez
Paints for the paintingzsheir churches.
Liberal contributions of l.. & NJ. Paint will
be given for such purpose wherever a church
is located.

Il painted our old homestead with L. & NJ
twenty-six years ago. Not painted since
looks b, tier than houses painted in the last
four years"

painted Frankenburg Block with l.. & NJ;
shows better than any buildings here have
ever done; stands out as though vanished,
and actual cost of paint was less than 81 20
