stractors of Randolph county, con-
veys 120 acres of land near Darks-
vile, to Jesus Christ, says the Stouts-
Vile Banner. The deed had been

No Need of Suffering
From Rheumatism

It is a mistake to allow rheumatism
to become chronic, as the pain can al
ways be relieved, and in most cases a
cure effected by applying Chamberlain,s
Pain Balm. The relief from pain which
it affords is alone worth many times it's
cost. It makes sleep and rest possible.
Even in cases of long standing this lin
iment should be used on account OF the
relief which it affords. Is and SO cent
