DANGER OF DISAPPOINTMENT

Some parents will be thinking this
and next week OF sending their child
rem away to a good school for the
Fall Term. A few will make the mis-
take OF the foolish gardener who de-
layed, gathering his ripened fruits In
season thinking few days later
would better suit his convenience. Tit
delay brought the convenience. but
lost the gardener the highest market
price for his fruit
There is a time to send the child
off to school for the first time
II is a critical time in the family life
when one or another OF the flock II
ready and ought to go away to schoo
to prepare for a useful and efficient
life work. The time to do thing Is
when II needs to be done; regardless
of sentiment or the poor excuses
that may be offered. A delay may
cost the child the ambition for an ed
ucation; the possibility OF a life
charged with power and service may
be denied its rightful place among
men and women of affairs, by the
carelessness and thotlessness OF par
ents who put off until another time
their duty toward their children's
education.
The most precious possession the
sixteen year old boy or girl can have
is the opportunity to - to school.
When wisely used the time is all too
short-let us be spared any waste by
delays.

The victims chosen, one IS given
the bell, the clapper Of which ne may
not touch or silence under pain OF
dishonor. The other, his eyes ban
daged, is handed revolver or a
knife. The rest Of the party impro-
wise barricades in the corners.
The hunt begins and the hunter,
chasing his victim at the noise OF
the tigers bell, is permitted to do
what he can to bring death to this
opponent. If he has failed to hit
the tiger, the roles are reversed and
he becomes the quarry, carrying
the fatal bell, while the tiger turns
hunter.
The fearful duel proceeds until,
the weapon finding it's mark, one or
the other falls.

Was the Dog making a TripfrOm Hall.
fax to Haywood.

There is quite an interesting con-
test in Newton over the ownership
of bird dog. Mr.. Joe Stewart
bought the dog about three months
ago from Mr.. A. F. Wood, of Jug
town. The dog came to Mr.. Woods
some time last fall or winter, and
nobody having laid claim to him.
Mr.. Wood about the end of hunting
season sold him the Mr.. Stewart.
Monday, travelling man named Tay-
lar, saw the dog here and said he
was his dog. He says he bought the
dog from Mr.. Smathers in Waynes-
vile last winter and took him to his
home in Littleton, Halifax county.
The first day he went out shooting,
the dog left him. His theory is that
the dog was making his way back to
Waynesvllle when he stopped with
Mr.. Wood. Mr.. Stewart thinks there
may be some mistake about the iden-
tlty of the dog, and is not willing to
give him up, without further evil
dence.-Newton Enterprise.

His Greatest Treasure.

A certain shepherd boy was keep
ing his sheep in a floWery meadow
and because his heart was happy, he
sang so loudly that the surrounding
hills echoed back his song. One
morning the king, who was out
hunting, spoke to him and said:
"Why are you so happy, my boy?''
"Why should not be happy?" an
swered the boy. "Our king is not
richer than l."
Indeed" said the king, pray tell
me Of your great possession"
The shepherd boy answered: "The
sun in the bright blue sky shines as
brightly upon me as upon the king.
The flowers upon the mountain and
the grass in the valley grow and
bloom to gladden. my sight as we'll

thousand dollars for my hands; my

knowledge and Virtue.

There is no capability or capacity
for ruling without knowledge and
virtue. If there is knowledge with
out virtue there can be no staple
government. There is a reason that
mere virtue alone cannot govern
wisely. The mere fact that a man
is good does not imply that he is a
mathematician, or judge, or doc
tor. This being the case something
more than virtue is necessary CON-
petence to think, to decide and to
judge among men. The reason know
ledge without virtue is SO destruc-
tive the passions take hold Of the
mind. To say that a man is selfish
is to imply that he uses all of his
knowledge to bring about results for
his own self. | consider the increase
of knowledge without correspond
ing increase Of morality dangerous
aspect. Of all the maniacs, the edu-
Gated is the worst to deal with. Bad
men grow worse with education, and
good men grow if they remember
not that knowledge puffeth up. Con-
ceit is terrible, but self-esteem is
necessary. You can't do anything
with a conceited man, for he will at
tribute everything in some way to
his own mental superiority. DR..

Happy school days now are ended.
And with parting smile and sigh,
Joy and sorrow strangely blended,
Softly now we say goodbye.

Well remember days Of old
When we joined the school-room
chorus,
Faithful friends with heart of
gold.
Friendships here shall seem more
tender.
AS the swift years crowd apace,
School-days gain an added splendor
Held in meln'ry's fond embrace.
Dearer still, and ever dearer
Grow the memories of old;
Dearer still the days together,
Faithful friends with hearts Of
gold.
Happy school-days now are ended,
And with parting smile and sigh
Joy and sorrow strangely blended,
Softly now we say goodbye.
God be with you, aye forever,
Through the years that shall un-
fold
You shall be forgotten never,

The Real Test.

In doing what you do today
Think not what the world will say;
The world is much too busy
In dwelling on its own affairs
To bother with your little cares
The cares that make you dizzy.
Pursue your daily round Of life,
Whatever it be, Of joy or strife,
OF pleasure or OF sorrow:
All outer verdicts clean forgot,
Concern yourself alone with what
You'll think yourself tomorrow

Things to Remember.

l. Remember that everything
that is alive can feel. Sometimes
there are too many insects, and they
have to be killed. When they must
die, kill them as quickly and merci-
fully as you can.
2. Remember that cruelty grows
like other sins if not checked.
3. Remember that to take pleas
ure in seeing animals hurt or killed
shows something terribly wrong in
our nature.
4. Remember your pets-if you
keep any-and see that they do not
starve while you live in plenty.
5. Remember that cats and dogs
want fresh water always where they
can get at it.
6. Boys who drive donkeys or
horses should remember that they
must go slowly when they have loads
to drag, and that the poor animals
are made of flesh and blood. Blows
will make them weak and less able
to work. Angry words frighten and
wear them out. Use the whip as
little as possible, and encourage them
with kind words.
7. When you feel inclined to
throw stones at living creatures,
stop and think: How should | like
to be bruised, and to get my bones
broken Just for fun?' Our Dumb
Animals.

And, of course, indigestion if neg
lected long enough, brings on seri-
GUS diseases in which Kodol cannot
benefit you. Some Of these there
is no help for at all.
There are, in feet, very few all
ments which cannot be traced di-
rectly to impure blood. And i'm
pure blood is always due to a dis
ordered stomach.
Use Kodol and prevent Nervous
Dyspepsia.
Kodol will effectually assist Ma
ture to secure a complete restora-
ton Of good digestion. 1t does
this by at once digesting all focd
in the stomach and keeping it di-
gested, until the stomach is rested
and can resume its own work. ko-
dol removes the cause-and the
effect quickly removes itself.
When it is recalled that Apo
pleXy, Heart Disease, Cancer-and
even Consumption-are due to
poor digestion and poisons thus
transmitted to the blood, and

tance of maintaining good dlges-

SINKING IS RESUMED ON
NANCY DONALDSON SHAFT

Retimbering and Strengthening OF
the shaft of the Nancy Donaldson has
been completed, and the work of sink
ing resumed. Good progress is being
made in the work, being greatly facil-
itated by the hosting plant erected
on the property some time ago.
The management is confident that
this property will eventually become
a producer, and this belief is founded
upon the fact that a small bunch of
very rich ore was opened in the shaft
at a depth of about twenty feet. The
vein is strong and well defined, carry
ing a good quartz streak, and follows
a contact of rhyolite and basalt. Pros
pect holes along the vein show good
surface values, and fair paintings can
be found in many places.

SHAFT ON GRIZZLY BEAR
Is GOING DOWN RAPIDLY

Sinking is still in progress with
three shifts on the Grizzly Bear, AMI
the shaft is now down about $40 feet.
Three veins, including the Clermont,
have been cut, but the values shown
in the shaft have been low, although
the veins ranged from four to sixteen
feet in width at right angles to the
pitch of the veins. Manager Mae
gregor does not expect to connect with
the Jumbo-M Mohawk ledge system until
the shaft has reached a depth of about
500 feet or a little more, but at that
depth he believes that pay values will
be encountered either in the shaft or
by drifting. The new hosting and
compressor equipment is working sat
isfactorily, and good progress is be
ing made in the work on the property.
