We are gratified to be able to
state that Mr.. and Mrs. c. T.

ing right along. Glen says the on.

is he can't get enough to eat.
Col. James II. Duke has purchas.

lease of the building until Septem-
her LIST next. Mr.. ]. f. Floore will
continue to manage the business as
heretofore.
Messrs. J. w. Carter and !. II.
Duke visited Jackson this week
where the former gentleman has
had a bill introduced in the Leg
islature to refund him several thous-
and dollars which, as Sheriff of this
county, he was compelled to pay be-
cause OF an error of the then Clerk
IN not entering minute Of meeting of
Board of Supervisors. The money
represented generations allowed by
the Board. Mr.. Duke Is an impor-
tant witness in the case. From
what we q gather Mr.. Carter is
justly entitled TO a return of this
money, and he has II best wishes
for success.
Invitations have been received by
the relatives and friends of Mr.. w.
Brooke Wilbourne to be present at
his marriage to Miss Lucy Fancher,
which will take place at the res
idence of the BRIDES p,rents at Ed

PROFIT

The matter of feed is Of
tremendous Importance to the
farmer. Wrong feeding is
loss. Right feeding is profit.
The up-to-date farmer knows
what to feed his COWS to get
the most milk, his pigs to get
the most pork, his hens to
get the most eggs. Science.
But how about the children?
Are they fed according to
science, a bone food if bones
are soft and undeveloped, a
flesh and muscle food if they
are thin and weak and a blood
food if there is anemia3
SCOTS Emulsion is a mixed
food the Cod Liver Oil in it
makes flesh, blood and muscle,
the Lime and Soda make bone

scientific food for delicate

Historic Cape Cod.

A movement is on foot to mark the
historic spots in which the old town OF
Barnstable, on Cape Cod, abounds. 1t
has been stated that this town contains
fully as much Of historic interest as
Plymouth. and there are many I'M
marked localities that have been iden-
tilted with stirring events in the early
days Of the colonies. The first cour>
house built in the county still stands
at the head of Rendezvous lane.
where the volunteers of the Revolution
first assembled, although the building
has been transformed into a church.
In front Of it is the little triangle where
the liberty pole stood and where the
troops were drilled. In this courthouse
was sounded the first note Of revolt
against British rule, and it is proposed
to place inscribed tablets on these spots
and others equally interesting to COM
memorate and preserve the traditions
connected with them. - Boston Tran
