chased from J. G. Lingle, of Faith,

off by the storm that passed over
lower Rowan on the night of June
10th. This was a severe wind
storm you may know for it only
left three rafters on the above

of damage to other buildings in
this community, blew down a lot
of timber and destroyed a lot of
wheat. Jacob Arey's chimn e y

Found In Scflnapps that Satisfies Tobacco Hunger

There are three ways used by far
mers for curing and. preparing their
tobacco for the market; namely, sun
cured, air cured and fue cured. The
old and cheap way is called air cured;
the later discovery and improved way
is called fue cured. In hue-curing
the tobacco is taken from the field
and suspended over intensely hot
Hues in houses especially built to re-
tain the heat, and there kept in the
proper temperature until this curing
process DEVELOPS in the tobacco the

found in Schnapps tobacco, just as
green coffee is made fragrant and
stimulating by the roasting process.
Only choice selections of this ripe.

We have had some more rainy

greatly disappointed, as harvest

stays SO wet that they can hardly
get through the field without any

Hundreds of imitation brands are
on sale that look like Schnapps; the
outside of the imitation plugs of to-
bacco is fue cured, but the inside is
filled with cheap, fimsy, heavily
sweetened air cured tobacco; one
chew of Schnapps will satisfy tobacco
hunger longer than two chews Of
such tobacco.
Expert tests prove that this fue
cured tobacco, grown in the famous
Piedmont region, requires and takes
less sweetening than any other kind,
and has a wholesome, stimulating,
satisfying effect on chewers. If the
kind oftobacco y0u are chewing don't
satisfy, more than the mere habit of
expectorating, stop f%ooling yourself
and chew Schnapps tobacco.
Schnapps is like the tobacco chew
ers formerly bought costing from 75c.
to P1 90 per pound; Schnapps is sold
at soc: per pound in sc. cuts, strictly

The inquiry would have done no
harm had il not been that the doctor
had a talking wife. to whom he told
everything, SO before long the whole
neighborhoou was saying that Jack
Ralston had been asking how long old

the story came to Miss Ackermann'S
ears, to her intense Indignation and
still greater grief. Jack could not deny
1t in toto, and short of positive denial
she would listen to no explanation.
There was a quarrel, a broken engage

leaving his sweetheart we'll nigh bro

her, and sometimes duty is the best

the city with a cousin of her mother
and was obdurate. Her filial affection
found satisfaction in refusing to for
give the lover who had desired her ia
theirs death. She would not even see
him. and SO the affair ended.
Well, 1t was too late now, and she
was a fool to be dreaming of it. The

Feeding Cut Green Bone.
There is one thing about which the
person who has had no experience with
feeding cut green bone should be eau
toned, and that is not to give the fowls
too much of the feed. They devour it
g~reedily, and unless you are very care
full they will eat too much. For the
average fowls we would not consider
1t advisable to give more thar one
third or one-half ounce to each bird,
says Western Poultry Journal. Thus
to a flock Of three dozen feed twelve
to eighteen ounces each day. AS will
soon be found out, their supply must
be limited, and If they show any i'll
effects from what is given them the
food should be decreased In quantity.
