Heat prostrates the nerves. In the
summer one needs a tonic to offset the
customary hot weather nerve and
strength depression. You will feel bet
ter within 4s hours after beginning to
take such remedy as DR. Shoop's Re-
storative. Its prompt action in restor-
ing the weakened nerves is surprising.
OF course, you won't get entirely strong
in few days, but each day you can
actually feel the improvement. That
tired, lifeless. spiritless feeling will
quickly depart when using the Restora-
tive. DIR Shoop's Restorative will
sharpen failing appetite; it aids diges-
ton; it will strengthen the weakened
kidneys and heart by simply rebuilding
the worn-out nerves that these organs
depend upon. Test it few DAYS and
be convinced. Sold by the Meeker

Buford Celebrates.

After lapse of many years the
people of Buford revived the old
time custom of having their Fourth
Of July festivities at the school
house, and while this one was not
quite up to the standard OF former
occasions it was thoroughly enjoyed
by all.
The buildings Especially the arbor)
were prettily decorated with red,
white and blue bunting, Japanese
lanterns, etc. Under the inviting
shade of the green foliage covering
the arbor, tables were placed, and
upon these were spread everything
good in the eatable line, and when
the word was passed everyone, in
Guiding the numerous old bachelors,
got there.
A nice program was carried out
during the day, consisting of running
races-both horse and foot. Some of
the young ladies gave an exhibition
in the sprinting line; likewise some
Of the married ladies, and to the
victors went the spoils in the shape
of well-filled purses. In the young
mems foot race Walt Warner cor
rallied the dough, but had to ack-
nowledge that one or two of the kids
kept the flies from settling. Cliff
Bartlett was winner in the pony race.
In the afternoon the much heralded
game of base ball came off between
the single and the married men, the
latter winning by a score of l6 to 15.
1t was by far the most interesting
event of the day, as the kids evil

A Very Good Celebration.

The young fellows who managed
the Fourth of July celebrations for
this town the past two seasons ad-
ded another success to their list Of
achievements last Saturday.
The young folks sports in the morn
ing were successfully carried out
under the general management Of
Charley Thompson. AS nearly every
boy in town took part in the numer-
Gus events prizes were many but no
records of winners were kept.
Owing to the failure Of the COM
mitteeman in charge to show up, the
base ball game was not pulled off,"
AS the prize offered was too small
we are of the opinion that the boys
scheduled to take part weren't much
disappointed; and the crowds had
other attractions in plenty.
OBSTACLE RACE
Was won by Charley Thompson.
Charley Baker, Allen Smith, Lester
Warren and Fred Miller divided
second and third money.
WATER FIGHT
The Talbot, Eul, Brown and Hea-
ton team won. ---
sPEARING CONTEST
Walter Eul, first money; r G
Jones, second, and Bill Hopkins
third.
RELAY RACE
First money, Alfred Pierson; I'd,
Dan Suttles, and Sd, Tom johnson.
CALF ROPING CONTEST
Was the feature of the day. w A
Wear took first money In II seconds.
The contest for second and third
prizes was so close between George
Thomas and Charley Miller that they
pooled and divided the ''pot." Geo
Wear took fourth money.
A number of the best ropers in
the West were present and took
part, but failed to reach any of the
money owing, it is said, to too much
"booze."
In an extra contest, Clarence Ho-
back took first prize, George Thomas
second, and Clyde Ralston third.
BUCKING CONTEST
Henry Bum, first prize (riding),
Charley Miller, second. Horses
for bucking = Covert's Silver first
money; Wilson horse, second; Billy
CARROTS Popcorn, third.
DRILLING CONTEST.
Evan Thomas and John Akers won.
The rock was hard and faulty, so no
records were broken.
To the committeeman in charge Of
celebration-Messrs w d Simms, T
Casiday, J c Marshall, A b Nc
Williams, G NJ Thompson and J A
Bills-is due much credit for the sue
cessful and satisfactory manner in
which the large crowds were enter
tanned.

The Closed Season.

A recently married West Philadei-
phia girl was the innocent cause OF
much amusement at small dinner In
one of the downtown hotels recently.
says the Philadelphia Record. Her
father-in-law, having been made god
father to the child Of one Of his bust.
ness associates. wanted to give some
present to the infant In recognition
Of the honor. Knowing that others In
tended bestowing mugs, spoons, etc..
he decided that he would go out Of
this conventional line and give the
baby carriage.
Being very busy man, he commits
stoned his daughter-in-law to do the
buying. with instructions to get very
fine one. During lull in the CONVEX
sation at the dinner the father-in-law
said: "Bess, did you get that baby
carriage?" "Oh, got you beauty.
and only ten dollars" was the reply.
You didn't get a good one for that
price," protested the father-in-law.
Yes, did," asserted the young lady !;
"the salesman said they were re.
duced because this wasn't the sea-
son." Then she wondered why every
one laughed.

There's boy In our house who
turns that grindstone. Early and late
he is down there fooling with IT. He
doesn't have to turn 1t. that Is why he
is 30 passionately fond Of the exer-
else. II he had to turn 1t as l did
when boy he could be induced to APP
proach It only through the persuasive
application of q stick or the end Of q
leather strap. The boy next door is
his partner In these grindstone stunts.
They sharpen knives. The next door
boy holds the knife while our boy
turns the crank. They have three DIFF
ferent knives to work on. Apparently
neither of these weapons Is ever used
for anything except grinding. They
are the sharpest knives / ever saw.
In the days when l turned q grind
stone turned to some good purpose
The men turned for sharpened
scythes and axes and butchers knives
and things, but none of those imple-
ments ever got one-haIf SO sharp az
the knives these boys own.
Our boy and the boy next door get
a good deal of fun out Of their grind
stone, but they miss many Of the in.
cidents that enlivened my own tus-
sizes with that deadly machine. They
don't have anybody to cuff them on
the ear, for instance, and growl: 'Hur.

1T was under such disadvantages
that my early acquaintance with
grindstone fourished- These boys
know no such incentive to pegging
away at their everlasting grinding.
Their bouts with the grindstone are

1t to play with. You don't see many
