GETTING RID OF COLDS

The easiest and quickest way to get
rid of a cold is to take Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. This preparation has
been in use for many years and its
value fully proven. No matter what
remedy you use, however, care must
be taken not to contract second cold
before you have recovered from the
first one, and there is serious danger
of this. A man of middle age or older
should 20 to bed and stay in bed until
fully recovered. It is better to stay
in bed three days at the start than
three weeks later on.

Montgomery county was cut
from Arson in 1779, Arson being
constituted in 1749 was made a
Parish of the Church Of England
by the name of St. George, Of
Cappadocia, the patron saint OF
England. After our Declaration
of independence of l776 was de-
clared, no more parishes were
made.
Montgomery was named after
General Richard Montgomery,
the most promising of the early
officers in the American army.
He was born in North Ireland
1876 and entered the British
army when twenty years old. He
was a gallant soldier, was near
Gen. Wolfe, when killed at Que
bee, and served actively until the
peace of 1863. Nine years after
wards he sold his commission
and moved his residence to an
estate on Hudson river, marrying
the daughter of Robert Livings-
ton. He was chosen Represen-
tative in the Provincial Congress,
and then one of the eight Briga-
der Generals. He was junior
Brigadier to General Schuyler in
the invasion of Canada, and then,
owing to Schuyler's sickness, had
the chief command and was
made Major General. He quickly
conquered St. John, Chambly and
Montreal and joined with Arnold
at Quebec. After a three weeks
siege it was attempted December,
31st, IT'S, to take the city by
surprise, in a deep snow storm
by night. The garrison, firing
one cannon which killed Mont
gomery, retreated, but the death
of the American leader and the
wounding of Arnold threw dis
order among their troops, and
the assault failed. In 1918 his
remains were removed to New
York City and buried under a
handsome monument in St. Johns
Churchyard or Broadway.
The county seat was for a
time at a place called Henderson,
doubtless in honor of Archibald
Henderson, the eminent lawyer
and Congressman of Salisbury,
brother of chief justice Leonard
Henderson. If named before he
became well-known, it was prob
ably after Judge Richard Hender-
son, their father.
The name, Montgomery, came
into England with Count Roger
de Montgomeri, who captured a
formidable castle from the Welsh
in the 18th century. He was
lord of Montgomeri inNormandy,
and this name was given to the
Shire and town of Montgomery
in the reign of Henry VIII.
| find in my books of reference
no explanation of the name.
conjecture that, as "gomier" ir
Normandy meant a gum tree
Montgomeri, as it was spelt, was
probably the mountain OF gun
trees. Before the invention O
steam boats, gums were highly
priced and sought after. Thu
designation of North Carolina il
the old biographies, as the ''lant
of tar, pitch and turpentine,
II was not given in ridicule but a
words of praise. The demant
for these products for steamles
ships and other uses was yer
great.
In 1922 the northern boundar
was traced by commissioner
from the old and the new cour
ties and recorded.
The North Carolina Manus
has the date of the creation c
the county 1778.
