WORLD COMING TO END AGAIN.
There May BE a Solution of til
christmas Present Problem


Christmas Present Problem.
York, Pa. Dec. December
is to be a strenuous month, if the
prophecies of Lee j. Spangler,
Yorks direful prophet and sooth-
sayer, meet with fulfllment. Ac-
cording to Spangler, no less a catas-
trophe than the end of the world is
to take place the latter part of the
month-probably on Sunday. De
cember 81. However, it may take
place week earlier. Sunday, De-
cember 90 and thus afford an
economical solution of the Christ
mas present problem.
Some of the terrible things that
will Immediately precede the end of
the world are described by Spang-
Ter in the following alarming fash
ion:
Nation shall rise against nation
Kingdom shall rise against king
dom.
There shall be famines and restil-
ences and earthquakes.
Rivers will dry up.
The fish of the sea will die.
The sea will boil up with a great
noise
The cities of the nation will fall
Mountains will not be found
Islands will pass away.
The city of Boston will sink.
New York will go up in smoke.
People will flee to the mountains.
The land will dry up to get ready
for fire.
The crops will fail and prosperity
will be cut off.
The banks will keep on failing
This cannot be stopped.
Roosevelt will get rid of all his
money.
The treasury will go dry.
People will carry their money in
ktheir pockets and hide it in their
Ahouses.
Families will steal it from one
another. This is the gold that is piled
up for the last days. This gold will
rust in your pockets. 1t will give you
more trouble than good.
Labor organizations will come I'M
der one head and rule the land.
There will be great wrath among
the people. Hatred, killing one ano-
Their, hanging themselves and chill
dren will rise against their parents,
two against three and three against
two. Mother-in-law against daugh-
ter-in-law.
All plaques that are written IN the
hible will be brought forth. me
land will be full of lice, frogs, crlck-
cts and locusts. whatsoever VIII be
stung of these locusts will die.
There will be signs in the sun, IN
the moon and in the stars.
In the end of time the sun Will De
black and the land will be in dark
ness. The moon will be as blood, the
stars will fall and the heavens VIII
be shaken.

HORSE SWAPPING DAYS

Judges of GOOd Horse Flesh

Americas is going to have some
horse swapping days" this fall and
winter that will equal those famous

neighbors and ride off satisfied that
he has got the best of the bargain.
Some men are so skillful that on such
an occasion one will come to town
with sorry nag and go back home
with enough fine animals to start an
up-to-date livery stable.
The horse swapping" days in Am
CIRCUS will be under Tie management,
of the Board of Trade. It is probable
that it will be arranged to have
them quarterly. This vii give the
swappers time TO try out their new
stock and get ready for the next ex-

A Stampede the Wrong Way.
IN. o. states.)

Those newspapers in New York call
ing themselves Democratic which in
advance of the action of the party at
Denver predicted with much conf
dence that the nomination of Bryan
would be followed Immediately by a
general stampede of Cleveland Demo-
Gratis to the Republican party are
sorely distressed by the fact that not
only did the stampede fail to material
ize, but that these Democrats are go
ing to the support of Bryan in con-
stantly increasing numbers, instead of
going against him.
1t is a most painful spectacle for
these papers for it convinces them
that their opposition to Bryan does
not reflect the sentiment of their con-
stituency, and therefore their influence
in the campaign amounts to nothing.
Indeed, the Democracy at Denver en-
phasized the fact that it did not care
a continental whether these papers
supported the ticket or not, and the
Republicans were welcome to whatev-
er comfort they could get out of such
support, for it became evident long
before the Denver convention thai
the opposition of corporation con
trolled newspapers would result in
no loss of votes.

MANAGER ROBINSON
VISITS COMPRESS
Increased Storage Room
Will be a Feature.

Mr.. Nv w. Robinson, of Atlanta,
manager of the Atlantic Compress
Company, was in the city yesterday
on an inspection trip. After looking
over the new compress he stated that
it would be ready for operation in a
week or ten days. While the facilities
for storage have been increased about
40 per cent, he did not expect any
great diversion of cotton to Americas
from other points The enlargement
was chiefly for the purpose of enabl-
ing the local compress to handle the
cotton sent here with more ease At
the old compress the storage facilities
were frequently very much congested,
though the compress itself was able
to handle all of the cotton offered
In the only way in which an en-
largement was necessary, the new
plant has been enlarged. When the
new season opens Americas will have
greatly improved facilities for handl-
ing the cotton to be offered, which
will be distinct advantage to every
cotton grower who looks to Americas
to handle his staple

NATURE
AND A WOMAN'S WORK
LYDIA E. PINKHAM

Nature and a woman's work COM
bined have produced the grandest
remedy for woman's ills that the
world has ever known.
In the good old-fashioned days OF
our grandmothers they relied upon
the roots and herbs of the field to
cure disease and mitigate suffering.
The Indians on our Western
Plains to-day can produce roots and
herbs for every aillnent, and cure
diseases that battle the most skilled
physicians who have spent years in
the study of drugs.
From the roots and herbs of the
field Lydia E. Pinkham more than
thirty years ago gave to the women
of the world a remedy for their pc
culiar. ills, more potent and effica.
cious than any combination ofdrugs.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is now recognized as the
standard remedy for woman's ills.
Mrs. Bertha Muff, of .515 NC. ST.,
Louisiana, Mo, writes:
complete restoration TO health
means so much to me that for the sake
of other suffering women l am willing
to make my troubles public.

NATURE sPAREs


The stricken Hose From Grief
What a fortunate provision of nature
it is, that deprives the rose of mental
suffering; for how poignant would be its
grief to discover in the height of its
blooming glory that a canker fed at it's
heart, and that its beauty and fragrance
were doomed forever. Nature always
spares the suffering; she is a veritable
store-house of pleasing rewards, for
those who seek her aid. In the years
gone by falling hair and grayness have
cast a gloom over the lives of thousands
of young women. but thanks to the i'm
yestigations of scientists the true cause
of hair destruction is now known to be
germ or parasite that burrows into
