PROSPECTS VERY GOOD.
\ Trip From Fayetteville to Pembroke

to Observe Crop Conditions.

On a trip from Fayetteville to Penn
broke. thence by the Seaboard Air
Line to Wilmington, and thence direct
fy to Fayetteville by the Atlantic
Coast Lin last Friday, we took spe-
clal notice of the crops along the way.
And the experiment was gratifying.
On the average we do not believe we
ever saw the crop prospects better.
Present conditions indicate that a
bumper corn crop will be produced
III Cumberland, Robson Bladen,
Sampson and all this section. And
cotton is growing rapidly and looking
well. and a large portion of the farm
ers are going to get a fine yield. Short
ness will result from bad stands in
many places, while the advent of frost
will have much to do with the amount
Of the yield wherever the crop was
late coming up. on account OF the
drought. There the weed looks prom
Using, but the yield would be cut short
by an early frost. On the whole,
however, the prospects from here to
Wilmington, from here to Pembroke
and from there to Wilmington are
very encouraging. In Robson and
Sampson especially the crops are good
as they are also in Cumberland.

Wornan's Stomach
It Causes Much Misery if Not
 Kept in Condition.

Many women who would not toler- ate anything but 8 scrupulously clean kitchen, continue day in and day out to suffer from an unclean stomach, where food feTments. turns sour and becomes putrid.
 It is just as easy for a woman to keep her stomach clean as to keep her kitchen clean; in fact it is much easier, and does not require hours of toil.
 One or two Mi.o-na stomach tablets after each meal will in short time thoroughly clean and renovate the most distressed stomach. They will do more; they will put strength and energy into the walls of the stomach, and cause the juices of digestion to flow freely. so that all food will promptly digest.
 Women, keep your stomach clean and free from fermenting food, and you will find that other ailments, such as nausea, biliousne ess, sick headache, nervousness, sleeplessness, constipa- tion and palpitation of the heart, will disappear.
 A. Jacobsen and druggists every where sell Mi-o-na stomach tablets for only 50 cents large box They are guaranteed to cure indigestion or any stomach trouble, or money back They stop belohing of gas and after dinner distress in five minutes. Give them fair trial; they won't disap- point you. One woman writes: "I had been bothered for eight years with gas belching and bloating of the stomach. MONA cured me. ''

The trusses were so framed that when together the main girders would be crowned about inches, otherwise the ceiling would look as though it was sagged.
