1.-THE Shepherd Of The Hills"

The citizens of Scotland Neck wit
messed one of the lest and incest
shows we have had for quite while.
This show came highly recommend
ed, and the>writer is of the opinion
that it is worthy Of all the praise
that it has received and deserves
even more. The writer of "The
Shepherd of The Hills" had great
purpose in view, a great lesson to
teach in this great story; and as the
play was presented Monday night,
both its purpose and lesson was
properly executed. The story is 8
real revelation of what is happening
in our midst daily.
All the characters acted in perfec
harmony, and without exception al
were good, especially Pete, a chile
nature, and Preachin' Bill, ever!
ones friend. Preachin' Bill seemed
to be overrun with wit, humor ant
animation. The Commonwealth
heartily recommends this to be
nice, clean and up-to-date show II

Mr.. Madry is to be congratulate
on securing nothing short OF tn

with galax leaves and has them on

reput able places in the State.

Injured Badly in Corn CuItivator

A Michigan farmer was 80 badly
injured while cultivating that he
had 80 running sores. He states
that he tried many remedies and
doctors with no success and that
finally he used Aliens Ulcerine Salve
which cured up all the sores COM
pletely. Name and address on ap-
pHcation.)
Aliens Ulcerine Salve is one of
the oldest remedies ia America and
since 1869 has been known as the
only salve powerful enough to reach
chronic ulcers and old sores of long
standing. Because it is so powerful
it often heals burns and scalds with
out scar in a remarkably short time.
Aliens Ulcerine Salve heals from
the bottom up and draws out the
poisons. If applied on new cuts and
sores it heals in one-third the time
that common salves and liniments
take. Sold by E. T. Whitehead Co.,
and other leading druggists.
