DWelllag Came Near Burning.

Mr.. Rufus K. Moore came very
near losing his dwelling on the cor
ner of 9th and Greenwood Streets,
last Thursday afternoon about $50
O'Clock. There was no one at home
at the time and the fire had made
considerable Roadway when discov-
cred, starting around the flue in the
kitchin. The hose of the Scotland
Neck Cotton Mills was soon put in
action and a large stream of water
was put to work and soon the fire
was under control, not before, how
ever, the kitchin and dining room
part Of the house was badly damaged.
All Of Mr.. Moore's furniture was
carried out Of the house as well as
that of several neighbors living near
bv and this was badly damaged.
There was no insurance on the
building andsthe loss falls heavily on
Mr.. Moore. He had asked an agent
to insure it for him but for some
cause it had not been Gone.

There is more Catar1h in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
For a great many years doctors pro-
nouncel it local disease and prescrib-
ed local remedies, and by constantly
failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Science has
proven catarrh to be constitutional
disease and therefore requires consti-
tutional treatment. Halls Catarrl
Cure, manufactured by F. Cheney

stitutional cure on the market. 1t is
taken internally in doses from 10 drops

Old Relies.

Mr.. E. L. Braxton was in our
Office Tuesday morning and showed
US some old family relics that are
we'll worth mentioning: The first
he showed US was an Irish potato
that he says must be at least some
thing over DO years old, for it had
been carried in his fathers pocket
for a good many years and the old
gentleman has been dead thirty-five
years. The potato now is little
larger than a mans thumb and ap-
pears to be as hard as a rock, yet
you can see that it is an Irish potato
The next was q goose quill tooth
pick that was used by his father g
number of years before his death
which as we have already said oc
Cured IS years ago.
Then Mr.. Braxton showed US his
fathers pocket knife. The blade tt
this knife is worn to sharp point
and shows the value Of the materia
out of which it was made. They are
not made like this now.
Last but not least, by any means
was small gourd used by his moth
err when a child. This gourd is
something over one hundred years
old, and yet it looks as it it had MOI
been in use for a year.
Mr.. Braxton prizes these relics
very highly on account of their fam
lily history and says that money can
not buy them.

hair try our remedy at Our risk.
Professor Unna, OF Germany, and
DR.. Sabouraud, the great French
Dermatologist, claim that a mi
crobe causes badness, and their
theory has been verified by eminent
scientists. This microbe destroys
the hair follicles, in time causing tho
scalp pores to close and the scalp to
become shiny. Then, it is believed
nothing will revive the growth. If
treated before this occurs. badness
may be overcome.

we believe it will do more than any
thing else can to remove dandrutt and
stop falling hair; and If any human
agency can promote new growth
of hair it will do that. too.

MARKETING HAY CROP
One of Leading Industries in
Many Parts of Country.
Much Difference In Demands Of IndI.
vidual Markets-Certain Practices
In Baline and Marketing
Should Be Corrected.
CBy H. B.

As a separate industry, growing and
marketing of hay in the United States
is comparatively new.
Prior to 1870 marketing was a sim
pie matter, and was carried on in a
somewhat ~haphazard manner. Little
hay was shipped more tina 20 or 80
miles. In many instances the pro-
Queer sold his product directly to the
consumer, and there was little need
for standard grades or bales or for
other trade rules.
The growing of hay for the market
has now become one of the leading
Industries in many parts Of the coun-
try. 1t is estimated that about % per
cent. of the 1912 hay crop, or over
Is, 900 900 tons. was removed from the
farms.
There is a considerable difference in
the demands of the individual markets
in the various sections of the country
in regard to the size and weights of
the bale and the kind and grade Of hay
which brings the best price. Certain
practices in baling and marketing
cause a loss to the producer, which
could be avoided if a proper adher-
ence to the requirements of the mar
ket to which the hay is shipped were
observed.
How to dispose of low grade hay is
a vital problem with every one who
handles this class. of hay, and every
dealer has more or less of it; usually
more low grade hay than any other
kind. The shippers, receivers, n
dealers can help much in solving this
perplexing problem. The country
buyer and shipper especially can help
materially, and should use every fair
means in his power to lessen the
trouble caused by low grade hay. The
first step in the right direction is for
the producer to learn the different
grades of hay. 1t is just as important
for him as it is for the city buyer to
know the grades.
If hay sells by grade in the country
the man who has the poorest product
will receive less than he does now At
present the nan who has choice hay
receives less than it is worth on the
market, and part OF the profit which
the shipper makes on the good hay
must go to make up for the oSs on
the poor hay.
With the present system of buying
hay there is not enough difference in
the price paid for the better grades in
the country as compared with the
price paid for the lower grades.
Therefore, if the man who has No. 2
hay receives within so or rs cents of
the price of his n~eighbaor's choice hay
he is satisfied and thinks that it is not
necessary to take the precautions that
his neighbor did in order to get a
slight advance.
Standard grades of timothy, clover,
prairie hay, straw, mixed hay, and
alfalfa have been adopted in the most
of the important markets, and it Is of
vital Importance to the producer to
know and meet the demands of the
markets to which he ships.
