Why Not a County Fair :?

We are pleased to note that oul
people are talking Of holding z
county fair in Scotland Neck next
fall. The plan is to organize stock
company, having as many people as
possible buy the stock, and in this
way more people will be directly in
terested in the movement. There is
already a good race track and there
is a plenty of ground around this
tract that can be used for the fair
grounds, and it would make an ideal
location.
Other towns throughout the State
are holding each year what is termed
county agricultural fairs, and there
is no reason why we should not have
one. These fairs are great things
to bring the people of community
together in an annual picnic occa-
sion, and, too. the farmers could
bring their produce for display and
competing with neighborS in raising
the various products
What say our business men and
farmers to holding this fair next
fall? The Commonwealth stands
ready to lend helping hand.

DRUGGIST GIVES HOMER BALK.
DOdsOD'S Liver Tone Gets a Four Square
Guarantee From E. 7. Whitehead
COmpaDy'S Drug Store.

When an article is sold druggist
who is willing to give it his personal
guarantee, it's a mighty strong
proof Of real merit.
That's exactly the case with Dod-
sons Liver Tone. 1t is a pleasant
tasting, vegetable remedy for slow
and sluggish liver. Since Dodson's
Liver Tone came on the market the
sale Of calomel has gone way down.
The reason is simply this: Dodson S
Liver Tone is safe and harmless and
guaranteed to be satisfactory-calo-
mel is often uncertain, sometimes
dangerous, and NO druggist wants
to guarantee that it won't knock
you out of days work and maybe
send you to bed.
E. I. Whitehead Company sells
Dodson's Liver Tone and guarantees
it. For you and your children, it's
good thing to keep a bottle always
in the house.
e. T. Whitehead Company will
give you your money back if you
think Dodson's Liver Tone is not
worth the price. Keep your liver
working and your liver will not keep
you from working" is good ADVICE
to go by.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

tby local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infiamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
inflamed you have rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed, Deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out OF ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is moth
ing but an inhamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls
Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free.
