PROMINENT MEN
OF MOUNT PELIER
(By SNYDER.)
for The Robesonian.

Written for The Robesonian.
The prominent men of Montpelier
were the two Archibald McEacherns,
father and son, Alex. Purcell, John
Gilchrist, Duncan Johnson, DR.. I. M.
Watson. Johnson and Watson never
Joined the church, but after marrying
Baptist ladies they joined the Bap
fist church.
The Baptist church, only three miles
from Mt. Pelier, is an old church,
started by Rev. John White, some
time in the early eighties. The two
churches are very closely connected
in a community spirit, and church af-
filiations are hardly noticeable In the
intercourse of the people. | once
heard Father Monroe say, at a bap-
Using, that the only way to heaven
was to go under the water. But -peo-
and know better.
General Joseph Howley's father
from Connecticut visited this neigh
borhood as a colporteur, and tried to
preach in the Presbyterian church,
but as he could not come up to the
requirements of the church, he was
baptised in Johnson's mill pond and
joined the Baptists.
John Mclean had a contract for
a stage line Washington City to Co
lumbia. He built a fine house and
called it Scotch Grove, and there he
entertained his friends in royal style.
He organized hunting trips in the
sand hills where deer were plentiful
and kept a quantity Of guns for the
use of his friends. This old Joe How
ley, antedating old John Brown some
80 or 40 years, tried to start an III
surrection among the negroes by get
ting in McLeans armory, but old
Sam Blue told on him and he left be-
tween the suns. Had he succeeded
he might have made Scocth Grove as
famous as Harper's Ferry. His son
Senator Howley, became quite prom.
inent in the war, and was stationed
In Wilmington and governed this part
of North Carolina. He was quite {
lad when he left this county. He
was liked by all neighbors land wen
to school with Milton Mcintosh, Robt
Fairly, and others. When he com
manded at Wilmington he was in

MRS. PHILLIPS TAKES
IRON IF BLOOD IS BAD

TELLS WHAT KIND
OF IRON TO TAKE

Everyone's energy, vitality and gen.
eral good health depends so much up
on the condition of their blood, and
the normal functioning of the vital or
gans Of the stomach, kidneys, liver,
and bowels, the slightest irregularity
should be corrected Immediately.
Anyone troubled with their blood,
for instance, is sure to sooner or lat
er experience uric acid pains, weak,
lame back; lost strength; nervous
ness; headaches; dizzy spells, or some
other kindred symptoms, and iron has
become so well known as the one best
remedy everybody should use it. The
question is, in what form? Iron is
put up by the chemist in pills, liquid
solutions, and mixed with all sorts Of
elements including, in some cases al
together too much alcohol for the
good of the system.
The cheapest, strongest, most effic-
lent remedy is plain, natural iron,
highly concentrated, and bottled Just
as nature intended it should be TAX

sold by druggists in fifty-cent and dol

like the AIM Liver Pill at 25c for
a generous size box is recommended.
/ People with normal bowels should not
| use iron formed in combination with
laxatives. Altogether too many rem
