DON'T SAY YOU'RE old
You onlv Feel old

Digestive organs are weak--dont
assimilate food as they used to.
Other organs act more slowly and
less effectually.
Blood is thin and sluggish.
Renewal Of strength does not equal
the wear and tear Of your system.
That's what makes you feel old.
Nothing in the world will tone up
and invigorate those weak, back-slid-
ing organs, make rich blood and ere
ate strength so quickly as Vinol.
Vinol is not a secret nostrum, sim

understanding that your money will
be returned if it does not make you
stronger, feel younger and give you

STORM DELUGED
HACKLEY BARNEY.
Roy Simpler Gets Carriage Smashed.
Oxen Prove Efficacious In Getting
Wagon Out Of Mire.

Observing the sign of spring, the
presence of fresh earthworm castings
at early dawn, the croaking of frogs,
the presence of numberless beetles, etc.
We believe we can safely say that spring
is here.
This section was visited by large
rainstorm last Friday, which fell in tor
rents from early dawn until evening,
without abating. Fields and roads were
deluged, which will cause the farmers
to be behind with their early plowing,
and two washouts occurred on the road
leading to Milton lanterns were hung
up to warn persons who were not aware
of the danger.
Roy D. Simpler met with bad luck
last Saturday as as he was returning
from Milton. Leaving his horse at the
side of the road, while he was cOnvers-
ing with friend he was somewhat sur
prised to find when he returned that
his horse was gone. The horse had be-
come frightened and ran for short dis
tance where it ran against a post and
not being able to get loose by jumping,
kicked loose. The carriage was very
badly wrecked, but not much damage
was done otherwise.
Everette Pettyiohn ond John Fisher,
of Milton, visited this section last Sat
urday and Sunday.
One of our farmers while hauling
straw last Saturday got in the mire and
was obliged to leave his wagon IN the
field. On Monday morning the ground
being very much settled, he thought he
could pull the load out. but the ground
was still so soft that the horses mired
again. A neighbor who had been
watching came to his rescue with his
oxen and in a short time had landed the
wagon on solid ground. We simply
mentioned this to show the efficiency OF
oxen; no farm is complete without them.
A surprise party was given to Villa
Hastings last Thursday evening, in
honor of her birthday. Quite number
of her friends were there to enjoy the
various games and to partake of the re-
freshments.

J. c. Roach of Nassau, relates the
following experience: Desiring to 60
to Angola, went to a livery stable in
Lewes and asked for a horse with some
speeding ability A very small horse
was brought out and hitched up; after
part of my tourney | thought
l would try his speed to see if he was
what l asked for; well, | soon found
out that he could meet with the re-
quirements all right. | did not realize
how fast I was riding until the horse
stumbled and fell and holding on to the
reins was dragged about one-hundred
yards before the carriage stopped; it'll
was then that l realized that 1 must |
have been going some. "

When Edison predicted that the
moving picture device would be per-

dreamed of, he doubtless did not
realize that the credit for the great
achievement would he snatched from
his grasp and awarded to another.
Yet it would appear that such is the
case. Word comes from California
that when Malcolm Whitman. the
former national tennis champion,
takes unto himself as wife Miss Jen-

CUBA IN A BAD WAY.

Although the negro uprising in
Cuba would nave had little import
ance IL 1t had been met by prompt
measures from Havana, 1t appears to
have reached a stage where it threat
ems the existence of the republic. 1t
is not in the fighting that Cuba is
threatened, for the battles" between
negro rebels and troops are mere
, skirmishes. with few fatalities: but it
is in the revelation of the infrmity
and corruption of the Cuban govern
1nent.
Foreign investors in Cuba are
alarmed at the disclosures. and the
ing business and causing immense
losses to foreign interests. These. in
terests are beginning to exert pres
sure upon their home governments.
and these governments in turn are
asking the United States to put an
end to the present state Of affairs.
The Cuban government under Co
mez has brought Cuba to the verge
Of bankruptcy. Concessions have
been farmed out on ruinous condi-
lions, while certain officials have
suddenly become rich. The proofs
OF corruption IN hlgh places are said
to be in the hands of the United
States government. Cuba's finances
are in a tangle hat may have to be
cut with the sword. 1t is evident that
the United States is not anxious to
intervene. blu there are worse things
than intervention. Apparently. also,
there are worse things than annex

over of Cuba to the mercies Of graf
tiers.
The negro revolt may amount to
nothing in itself. but enough has been
demonstrated to make certain that

within a short time to take a hand in
strengthening out Cuba's finances, at
the urgent request Of other powers.
