CURRENT EVENTS

Without in any way suggesting
that North Dakota has any hog
cholera within its borders, never
theless it is timely to call attent-
ion to that axiom of hog raisers
that wherever hogs are there al
SO will be cholera, sooner or lat
er. Having this thought in mind
therefor it is suggested that every
be taken by the farmers
to practice that prevention is
better than cure. In three counties
OF certain Middle West states
wherein systematic efforts have
been kept up for three years the
death rate per thousand has been
reduced from $50 to 40, while
the number of hogs raised has
increased during the same time
from 221, 682 to $50, 466. Nuff
said.

Specialists of the federal de-
partment have decided that it is
impossible to tell difference be-
tween mushrooms and toadsstools
by any of the so-called tests
and that the only safe way to de-
termine the edibility of the fungus
is by studying it from a botan-
ical standpoint. Bulletin i75 OF
the department describes t59 var
titles and the Importance of ex-
ercising care in the use of any
of these for the table is emphasiz
ed by the determined fact that ~
of these varities are poisonous or
strongly suspected of being So.
This is the time of year when the
mushroom hunger is specially
and fungi of all kinds especially a.
bundant. Any lover of the dainty
will therefore do we'll to exercises

Because of the needs of the
Florida grape fruit growers who
otherwise would have large quaint
tiles of unstable fruit on hand, a
new method of bottling the juice
has been evolved so that it can
be preserved in that form for sum
mer use. 1t is quite likely that
the new beverage will be on sale
in commercial quantities the COM
ing season.

Does Our Merchants Get
Their Share :?
(Rv w H. Dugdaie J

(By w. H. Dugdale.)
We read of great activity in trade of
ever J kind,
Of factories payirg wages that are fair;
If all this great activity is ever realized,
Will the honest toiling merchant get
his share?
When corn and wheat demand price
that makes the broker rich,
While pork and beef are high just let
us know;
When money is invested in things we
need at home.
Does the local merchant always get a
share?
The merchants of our city are the main
shaft of all tr ide,
The men who guard our interests ev-
cry day;
While people leave our city to purchase
their supplies,
In justice to the merchant does it pay?
The Review each week has printed a
list of local men
Who will furnish goods in every line
of trade;
The prices are the lowest that the mar
ket can afford.
And the goods the very best that's in
tn trade
Every single advertiser gives an honest
guarantee
That is backed by honest dealing and
fair play;
Buy the goods you need in High Point
help to boom the town,
An investment that has never failed to
pay.
Don't imagine things are better that you
buy away from home.
A mistake that is INDUCED in by just
few;
Any merchant in the city will duplicate
the bill,
Just try it now, the job is up to you.
The Review is out on Thursday, read
the latest Proverb Page,
Read the ads. and all the other news
yol'll find;
Get posted on the efforts that are made
to get your trade,
You will find it leaves our neighbors
far behind.
The world is getting wise and the mcr-
chant with the rest,
For better times and comfort will pre-
pare;
The keynote of prosperity is buy your
goods at home
And see the honest merchant get his
share.

To The Citizens of Guilford
County.

The Board of Commissioners of
Cuiltord County, after a careful con-
sheraton Of the question of provid-
my for our county County building
and courthouse suitable for the future
use and purposes of its citizens, have
unanimously determined, as autho
rized by the General Assembly of
North Carolina, to submit to the
voters of the county of Gmlford the
question of issuing $3.50, 10000 in
bonds for the purpose of erecting
such a building on the site of the
old courthouse.
The property owned by the county
at the corner Of Elm and Market
streets in the city of Greensboro is
very valuable, and the condition of
the title to a portion of the same as
determined by the courts, prevents
its sale for such an amount as would
justify a removal OF the site.
The question presents itself to the
Board as to the best practicable way
to utilize this valuable site without
burdening the taxpayers of the
county and at the same time obtain
a modern up-to date fire-proof build
ing for county purposes. Such
building as would meet allthe neces-

If we tolerate unCIean stables,

may expect no other than to lose a
number of our babies from diarrhc-
cal diseases or summer complaint
and a number of our boys and girls,

phoid fever. The reasoning is this:
Stables and dump piles are the main
breeding places of flies; privies are

SPRING TIME AND NATURE.

The vio'ets and they are with us
again, the delicate sweet scented
flower that is painted with the Colors
of the blue sky-a symbol of inno-
cence and tender regard. The tulips
have lifted their heads to the skies
and drank of Springs nectar, the
foliage of the trees and the beautiful
colorings of bloom and blossom all
attest the wonderful works of nature
and impress mankind of the awaken
ing of mother earth from her long WIN
ter's sleep. The bee and the brig
fit here and there gathering the
sweets of lie from tree and earth,
the farmer busies himself with
plough and hoe. All nature is at
tuned to the beautiful spring time,
the resurrection, as it were.

ASSASSINATION OF
ABRAHAM LINCOLN
Itd-1t.. 4 wks.

Never have the people of Wiscon-
sin been keyed to the high emotion
al pitch which they reached during
the Easter month just half a cen
fury ago. In the midst Of universal
thanksgiyir 6 and rejoicing over the
return of peace, there suddenly
came the terrible news of the ASA
ssination of The nations president.
On April Il, 1865, Abraham Lincoln
was shot down in Ford's Theater in
Washington, where he had gone to
secure a brief respite from the cares
that surrounded him. 1t is per-
haps safe 10 say that the American
nation has never mourned for any of
its other presidents as it mOurned
for Lincoln In Wisconsin the day
which. had been set by Governor Lew
is to celebrate the return of peace,
was transformed into an occasion of
mourning. "A great and good man,
bitterly declared the governor, has
fallen a victim 10 the wickedest re
beIIion the world has ever seen. The
friend of the poor, the down-trod-
den ard the lowly, the pride Of the
nation is no more"

much better make this little offer

1t is poor policy to hand out these
garments to the first blowsy tramp
who comes along. On the back
streets OF your town there are al
ways people who have met misfor-

EARLY WISCONSIN DUEL

Wisconsin fortunately has never
been the scene of many duels. In
the southwestern lead mining dis
trict, however, when the Southern
Influences predominated in the ear
Iier days, personal encounters of this
kind occasionally took place. One
Of the most remarkable Of these DC
cumed in 1885 between Col. T. B.
Shaunce, a wen known DodgeviIle
wit, and AN Irishman named McMuT-
try. The Irishmam being the ohallen-
ger, Shaunce chose the weapons
rocks, at distance of forty feet,
neither party to stir from his tracks
tfll satisfied.
The news OF the affair of honor"
having leaked cut, ON the day of
the encounter, a large crowd assem-
bled at the appointed place of meet
ing, near the mouth of an old mining
shaft just outside the village Of
DodgeviIle The two principals ap-
peared with their seconds at the.ap-
pointed time, and. Shaunce was called
upon to indicate where his opponent
should station himself. He CooIly
that McMurtry stand at the
bottom of the shaft, which happened
to be just forty feet deep, while he
would stand at the top. For once fm
rishman was the victim instead of
the perpetTator Of a practical joke.
Of course the affair was called off,
and the whole crowd adjourned to a
nearby tavern to drink atthe Irish
mans expense.
