Boosting a Town.

1t isn't necessary to have popu-
lation of q million, or even ten thou
sand to make a town a live centre
for business developments says an
exchange. 1t is possible for every in
corporated municipality to be dis
tinguished from it's neighbor, even
though it's fame extends but COM
paratively short distance from its
borders. That a town has some
thing to distinguish it beyond its
immediate neighbors is thing worth
possessing fog the food Of the bust
ness of that town, therefore it is up
to the business men of every town
to noise abroad something for which
the town may be distinguished, or
to bend efforts toproduce something
out OF the ordinary that shall adver-
tise the town and bring people to it
for other reasons than simply and
only to do necessary and unavoid-
able trading, says an exchange

Using Cotton Seed Hulls.

This from an exchange is worthy
OF consideration by farmers and
truck raisers:
Chemical analysis has shown that
cotton seed bulls contain nearly the
same percentage of digestible con-
stituents as good timothy hay. The
latter costs about So a ton, while
cotton seed bulls may be bought for
half that amount-and often less.
The hay, however, good as it may
be, is almost sure to contain dust,
dirt, or other foreign matter that is
not only useless for feed but really
harmful. On the other hand, cotton
seed hulls, in the process of ginning
the cotton, are thoroughly cleaned.
Both cotton seed meal and bulls are
unexcelled as a feed for stock. If
you have a horse that does not ap-
pear to thrive or that will not get
fat, give him half a pound OF cotton
seed meal mixed with three pounds
OF hulls, we'll sailed, every day for
about two weeks and you will be
able to note marked Improvement

The State superintendent OF public

sources of the sixteen mountain coun-

the State superintendent by X. d. ".

ity of North Carolina day to inspire
the children with a new pride in their

of her history, and new love OF her

Memphis to Honor Memory Of Au.

Raleigh Times.

Raleigh Times
Recently Allegheny, Pa, has erect
ed statue to Stephen Collins Foster,
author of "Old Folks at home"
Now Memphis has on foot a project
to erect monument to Dan Emmett,
the author OF Dixie" Noting this
project the Washington Herald gives
the following interesting sketch OF
Emmett:
"'Uncle DAN Eemmett, while OF
Southern parentage, was born in
Ohio. He became a minstrel and
drifted to New York, where, in 1859,
he joined Bryant's MINISTRIES. One
OF his tasks was to compose comic
negro melodies and plantation songs
One Saturday night Mr.. Bryan asked
him to prepare a new plantation
'walk-around,' one with a lively,
catchy chorus, that the boys could
learn quickly and sing through the
streets, SO as to make it popular
AS it rained all next day. Sunday,
Uncle Dan was forced to remain in
doors, and it was then that he COM
posed Dixie as it is at present sung.
at was first produced in Mechan-
les Hall by Bryant's MINISTRIES, Sep
TENDER 10Th, 1859, fully Is months
before it was snng in the South. On
the other hand, it first appeared in
print in New Orleans, and spread like
wild fire throughout the Southern
States.
"All honor to the man who can
| touch the hearts of millions. He is
richly deserving Of recognition. The
world exalts it's heroes, and great
poets and artists are not without en-.
during monuments and substantial
recognition in most cases. But the
benefits conferred on the race by q
warrior or great artist does not
compare with the softening infunces
that come with the melodies that
touch the heart, Great poems ap
peal to a select few, to smaller
class, while the popular and nationa
airs, such as Watch Am Rhein, Mar
seillaise,' Star Spangled Banner,
Home. Sweet Home, America, Hail
Britannia and Yankee Doodle en-
ter into the lives of every citizen, nc
matter how lowly. The writer's o
such tunes deserve glory in keeping
with the good they have done"

ONE MILLION DOLLARS FOR A
GOOD STOMACH.
This Offer Should be a Warning to
Every r1an and Woman.

The newspapers and medical jour
nails have had much to say relative
to a famous millionaire's offer of a
million dollars for a new stomach.
This great multi-millionaire was
too busy to worry about the condi-
tiOn of his stomach. He allowed his
dyspepsia to run from bad to worse
until in the end it became incurable.
His misfortune should serve as a
warning to others. Every one who
suffers with dyspepsia for a few years
will give everything he owns for new
stomach.
Dyspepsia is caused by an abnor-
NAL state of the gastric juices. There
is one element missing-Pepsin The
absence of this destroys the function
OF the gastric fluids They lose their
power to digest food.
We are now able to supply the pep
sin in form almost indentical to
that naturally created by the system
when in normal health. so that it re-
stores to the gastric juices their d.
grstive power, and thus makes the
stomach strong and we'll.
We want every one troubled with
Indigestion and dyspepsia to come
to our store and obtain a box OF
Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets They con-
tain Observation-Disclosures and Pepsin
prepared by a process which develops
their greatest power to overcome d.
9 stive disturbance.
Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets are very
Pleasant to take. They soothe the
irritable, weak stomach, strengthen
and invigorate the digestive organs.

The most sensible utterance on the

is from the Lexington Dispatch, one
of the most sensible papers in the
State. The Dispatch says: "when a
doctor came along and remarked
casually that we had hook we
naturally reached up to the forks
over the door and took down the
trusty old gun. Editors Numbered
and demagoges denounced, and yet
right then two million people in the
South were suffering with this hook
worn disease and didn't know any
more than the editors and the dema-
gogers did that a few cents worth of
EPSON salts and thyme administered
by physician would cure any case,
and that q few simple sanitary meas
ures would prevent spread of the
injection. That's all there is to it
and Rockefeller's million will 90 far
towards removing the evil in the
South" We do not recall anything
quite SO absurd as the TRADE of the
newspapers against the deacon for
trying to bring relief to the afflicted.
