If such a com mission is appointed it win doubtless have TO pass very near Greensboro in mapping out Jackson's route for there is a tradition in these parts that Jack son camped over night about two miles east of tho present location of Greens boro, and 1t is certainly fact that he was joined near here by General Pat rick May. who was for many years a citizen of this place after he "soldiered'' with Jackson.

FOR THE CHILDREN
How Do You Like It?

This is an old game. but always popu-
lar and entertaining. One of the play
ers chosen for the guesser goes out OF
the room while the others choose a
noun, which he must guess from their
answers to three questions. These are
"How do you like it, When do you
like it," and Where do you like it!"
The guesser comes in when the word
has been agreed upon and asks each
player in turn the first question. Ii
he cannot guess from these answers he
goes around with the second question
and then the third If necessary, and if
be is not yet able to tell the word he
must pay forfeit or he may be sent
put of the room again while another
word is chosen.
The game is usually made as puz-
cling as possible by selecting word
with two different meanings, such as
pen ian inclosure) and pen Ia writing
tmplement), or two words of similar
sound, like "cell" and "Celle." 'key"
and QUAY"
For instance, with the words hair
and hare, answers to the question
'sWhere do you like it?'' might be con
my head" Gin stew" Gin mattress"

MAKE IT YOURSELF.
Tells Our Readers How to fIix Best
Rheumatism Cure.

A well-known authority on Rhep-
matism gives the readers Of large
New York daily paper the following
valuable, yet simple and harmless,
prescription, which any one can easily
prepare at home:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup sarsaparilla, three
ounces.
Mix by shaking well in a bottle, and
take teaspoonful after each meal ana
at bed time.
He states that the ingredients can
be obtained from any good prescrlp-
ton pharmacy at small cost, and, De-
ing of vegetable extraction, are harm
Jess to take.
This pleasant mixture, it taken reg
ularly for few days, is said to over
come almost any case of Rhematism.
The pain and swelling, if any, dimin-
ishes with each dose, until permanent
results are obtained, and without in
iuring the stomach. While there are
many so called Rheumatism remedies,
patent medicines, etc., some Of which
do give relief, few really give perma-
nent results, and the above will, no
doubt, be greatly appreciated by many
sufferers here at this time.
Inquiry at the drug stores of this
neighborhood ehcits the information
that these drugs are harmless AMI can
be bought separately, or the druggists
here will mix the prescription for our
readers, if asked to.

dropped in to see Uncle Joe Cannon at
the capitol the other day to try to urge
him to be friendly to the forest re-

the lumbermen are making in the for

Currier for the preservation Of the
White mountains and the southern APP
palachians should be permitted to pass.
The speaker was not inclined to be
enthusiastic. He couldn't see that the
forests were disappearing so rapidly
as he had been told.
'sWhy," said he, banging the table
with his fist, "there is more timber out
In Illinois today than there was thirty
years ago."
