looking fixedly at the mother with her
baby on her lap, said angrily:
"a woman has no right to have a
child If she doesn't know. how to hold
It,"
mo, nor a tongue either" was the
quiet reply.-Detroit Free Press.

 Mir. Phillips says there is every indication that there is oil in this section. His entire life has been spent in this work, in the oil fields of Pennsylvania, Indiana, Illinois and Oklahoma. He is thoroughly familiar with every detail of the oil business, and is so fully con- vinced that there is oil here in pay ing quantities that he has derter- mined to sink a we'll, if he can se- cuae leases on as much as 2,000 acres of land.

The Clarendon Sun was asked to roast the boys of its town for their misbehavior at the theater. After stating the facts in the case the Suns comment was this: "The fact is, scoring the boys would do no good, for back of their conduct rests the reason for it in the train ing they have received, or failed to receive, at home. If they are not taught to behave as gentlemen at home or at school, they cannot be expected to act as such else where" <"

Six hundred and twenty boys have already enrolled as members of the Boys Corn Club in Ran- dolph county. The boys of that county captured nearly all the corn prizes at the State Fair last fall, and they are doing a great work in helping to bring about more successful methods of farming in their county. The Journal would like to see the boys of Indepen- dence county wake up and take hold of this movement with more vim. Our boys could win some of the best premiums at the State Fair next fall if they would try. Besides this, they would be great ly benefited by the experience gained.

 Much sickness is of nervous origin. It's the nerves that make the heart force the blood through the veins, the lungs take in oxygen, the stomach di- gest food, the liver secrete bile and the kidneys filter the blood. If any of these organs are weak, it is the fault of the nerves through which they get their strength. Dr. Miles Nervine is a specific for the nerves. It soothes the irritation and assists in the generation of nerve force. Therefore you can hardly miss 1t If you take Dr. Miles Nervine when sick. Get bottle from your druggist. Take it all ac- cording to directions, and if it does not benefit he will return your money.
