ALTMAN NICK. FLOWERS.
Resolutions of Respect.

Whereas God in His infinite wisdom
has seen fit to remove from our midst
our brother, Altman Nick Flowers, and,
Whereas we, in the death of our
brother, have sustained a misfortune
which all who had the pleasure of know
ing him can fully estimate, the Baraca
class Of Lumberton Baptist Sunday
school deem it fitting and proper that
some steps be taken to record their es-
TEEN.
Therefore, be it resolved by the Ba-
raca class of Lumberton Baptist Sunday
school,
LIST. That in the death of Altman Nick.
Flowers it has lost a loyal member, q
Christian young man, upright, courteous
and of excellent character, and whose
career gave promise of growing useful
ness as he grew older,
End That the family of our deceased
brother has our deep and heartfelt sym
pathy on the sad event and a share il
sorrow for his loss.
Sd. That these resolutions be spreaC
upon the minutes of the Baraca class
and that copy be sent to the family
and also to The RobesonianTfor publica

No other medicine has been SO
successful in relieving the suffering
of women or received so many gen.
uine testimonials as has Lydia e.
Pinkham'sY Vegetable Compound.
In every community you will find
women who have been restored to
health by Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg
etable Compound. Almost every
one you meet has either been bene-
flied by it, or has friends who have.
In the Pinkham Laboratory at
Lynn, Mass, any womanany daymay
see the files containing over one mil
lion one hundred thousand letters
from women seeking health, and
here are the letters in which they
openly state over their own sigma
lures that they were cured by Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound has saved many women
from surgical operations
Lydia E. Pinkham'S Vegetable
Compound is made from roots and
herbs, without drugs, and is whole
some and harmless.
/ The reason why Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound is sc
successful is because it contains in.
gradients which act directly upon
the feminine organism, restoring il
to a healthy normal condition.
Women who are suffering from
those distressing ills peculiar to theil
sex should not lose sight of thest
facts or doubt the ability of Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
! to restore their health.

HANDLING OF PEA CROP.
Valuable Suggestions From MIR.
Caldwell, of Wayne County,
In The Progressive Farmer.

A tremendous crop Of pea vines
will be harvested this season.
Farmers are considering how
they can best save the pea hay
and doubtless will be benefited
by reading the plan of Mr.. Wade
H. Caldwell, of Wayne county.
Mr.. Caldwell writes to The
Progressive Farmer as follows:
"There has been a number OF
excellent methods of saving pea
vine hay given by your cores
pondents, but in most cases they,
| to use q congressional term, have
had riders" that rendered them
| impractical for immediate use by
the average farmer.
Now, using a tedder and stor-
ing in barns is fine, | imagine,
but | never saw a tedder save IN
the Fair grounds, and but few
farmers in my section have barn
room enough to stow more than
half a ton of hay at the time.
Now what the average farmer
wants at the present hour is the
best method by which the most
hav in excellent condition can be
saved out of doors in shortest
time, at least expense and labor.
So | will give the manner IN
which | have saved from Is to
| 50 acres of peavine hay yearly
for ten years, and without the
loss of a single stack when pro
perly put up.
Cut in the morning and rake
and stack in the evening Of the
next day (if it rains wait till II
dries-peavines are as good hay
after a weeks rain on them as
, much of the in-shipped article)
If the crop is heavy, rake directl!
to the stack; if light, wind-rov
and then rake to stack: neve
use a cart or wagon for this Ct'
too much labor. File hay arount
pole two feet deep-after bein'
gently packed down with for
(neVer get on stack at any tlme)
then nail on two cross-arms, the
j pile on to six or seven feet an
S put on two more cross-arms
Then build up till you eau jus
e stand on rake wheel and top O.
/. nicely with fork. Have a forE
ful Of grass to top off with.
8 Make stack to contain six {
d seycn hundred pounds Of cure
: hay. This size stack is nor
economical in keeping and han(
O ling than either the larger {
f smaller style as suggested /
some, for they cure out bette
than the larger, and the weathe
7 waste is less than the smallt
> ones. Then they contain just
nice wagon load, and, as a gel
ID eral thing in the busy season,
farmer has just only time at Ont
to fetch in that much"

1t looks now like the old reliable

l keep hearing people talking
about having to pay so much road
tax. If they pay it, where does
it go? for it sure doesn't go on
the roads here. If it takes all
to pay the officers it looks like
we will have to pay more before
we get any work done on the
roads. 1t is like having so much
money to have some work done
and getting a superintendent and
it would take all your money to
pay the superintendent. But
still he is getting his price and
