A MIRACULOUS ESCAPE.
How This Child Missed Death is Il
Marvel.

Especial to News and Observer
High Point, June 2S.-A sad and
exciting accident occurred this after
noon on Main street. Mrs. Charlie
Hendrix was down the street with her
children, the youngest being in the
carriage. She stopped in front of one
of the stores to go in, forgetting TO
lock her carriage, which ran off the
sidewalk in front of a wagon drawn
by mule.
The wheel of the carriage got en-
tangled with the wagon: the mule.
which became frightened, ran down
the street as far as the railroad cross
ing smashing the carriage and throw
ing the baby out. A physician was
summoned at once to give aid to the
little one. 1t is miraculous how 1t
escaped being killed. There were
serious bruises on the child, but it
is thought not to be fatally injured

Wheeling, W. Va, May 2S, 1904.

Wneelng, w. va, May ~, 1908.
Some years ago while at work, I fell
over truck and severely injured both
of my shins. My blood became poisoned
as result, and the doctor told me
would have running sores for life, and
that IT they were healed up the result
would be fatal. Under this discouraging
report left off their treatment and re-
sorted to the use of S. S. S. It's effects
were prompt and gratifying. 1t took
only short while for the medicine to en-
tirely cure up the sores, and 1 am not
dead as the doctors intimated nor have
the sores ever broke out again Some II
years have elapsed since what have de-
scribed occurred. Having been so signally
benefited by its use can heartily recon-
mend it as the one great blood purifier.

salves, washes and powders are beneficial,

RURAL NAIL DELIVERY.
Complete County Service Being Put in In
Linn County.

Special Agent Burr who is working
in this county with view to estab.
fishing complete county service Of
free rural mail delivery, was in La
clede Tuesday confering with the
postmaster in regard to the service
from Laclede. While nothing def.
mite is known at this time in regard
to the exact formation of the routes,
it is known that the service from
Laclede will be substantially improv-
ed. Route will be changed to give
closer service and to extend it to a
number who are not now on the SER
vice. Route 2 will be changed but
little aside from taking in small
piece Of territory on the northeast
corner. A new route to be known as
No. 3 will be put in to cover the
territory southeast, east and northeast
of town.
Mr.. Burr has been in the rural
delivery service five years and has
had much experience in establishing
county service. He is giving the
work in this county his best thought
and attention and when his work is
completed the lines of service will be
closed up that no patron in the
county will reside more than one
half mile from a postofice or a mail
route. Exceptions caused by lack of
roads and natural Instructions haye
occurred in some places. County
service once put in is considered per-
manent and proposals for changes
will not be considered. Following its
natural course it is thought the new
service will be put into operation

Apples Not Over Is Per Cent.

prospect for this year says that the
outlook in Missouri is for yield of
from Is to Is per cent of normal
crop. In the Ozarks the indications
are for from % to 35 per cent and in
central Missouri from 20 to 30.
Orchards are generally weakened by
the severe cold, which, together with
the failure of the bloom to we'll pollen

| The first law of friendship is SINGER
lity, and he who violates this law will
soon find himself destitute of what he
SO erringly seeks to gain; for the de-
ceitful heart of such a one will soon
betray itself, and feel the contempt
due to insincerity. The world is so
full of selfishness that true friendship
is seldom found; yet it is often sought
for paltry gain by the base and de-
signing. Behold the toiling miser,
with his ill-gotten and worthless
treasures; his soul is never moved by
the hallowed influence of the sacred
boon of friendship, which renews
again on earth lost Eden's faded
bloom, and fings hopes halcyon halo
over the wastes of life. The envious
mamie, too, seeks to gain the ap-
plause of others for an unholy usage,
by which he may usurp seat of pre-.
eminence for himself. Self-love, the
spring of motion, acts upon his soul.
All are fond of praise, and many are
dishonest in the use of means to OBJ.
tain it; hence it is often difficult to
distinguish between true and false
friendship. Our best friends are be-
meath our own roof. A family circle,
when each member is linked to the
the other by home ties, is where you
find friendship in its unadulterated
and pure form.

One OF the saddest sights is that of
a young man who, without ever hav-
idg asked himself if he possessed suf-
ficient strength of nerve to endure the
strain Of an intellectual career, has
been graduated heavily in debt, and
has sacrificed what little health and
constitution he had for a college
course. No one told him that, even
if he should obtain his degree, he
would be totally untitled to excel in
intellectual pursuits, and would be
doomed to perpetual mediocrity. He
thought that if he could only get
through college, even if he were brok- |
en- in health and in purse, he could
get on somehow. He is no longer
content with his former lot, his ambi-
tion is poisoned by visions of impossi-
BILE goals, his vitality exhausted, his
energies scattered, and so the youth
who might have become a useful far
mer or a skillful mechanic, staggers
under his load of pecuniary obliga-
ton, i'll health and unsatisfed ambi-
ton until death relieves him of his
misery. There are many such young
men in every community. The par
ents and not the young men are to
blame for this. Before John is ten
years old his parents decide to make
B doctor, a lawyer or professor out
Of him. When John develops he will
take to the calling he is best
adapted to as a duck does to water. I
Wait for those developments before ,
