MRS. MARTHA MATILDA McNEEL


 cally.
 MRS. MARTHA MATILDA McNEECY
 One place where 1 always received a hearty welcome both from himself and his good wife was at Esq A. Nc Neely. on the Big Maumelle and, of course, it was as a personal loss that I heard of the death of Mrs. McNeely on. the 30th of December. 1 had spent the night before as their guest and while I knew she was very sick l did not expect the end so soon and did not hear Of it for some time afterwards. Miss Martha Matilda Hudson was born June 1, 1865 On February 25, 1885, she was married to M. F. Cato of which union were born seven children of whom only two are living, Henry Cato and Mrs. Lee Folly. Mrs. M. M. Cato and Esq. A. McNeely were mar ried on June 23, 1897. The Squire has three sons and two daughters living, all grown. The two families of chill dren got along as well as brothers and Stoltlo ttl1l hCtllAC1 Ol Cl1SoO SoOON PSC pie knew any difference in the treat ment of their children All were as one happy family. Truly in the death of this estimable lady, the M. E. Church, South, has lost faithful mother in Israel, the husband true and faithful wife and their children 9, devoted mother and the community and state patriotic citizen and many people sorrow for the death of a de- voted friend. To the squire and fam fly we extend our heartfelt sympathy and that of the community.
 The Squire had just rented his farm to w. H. Pratt and was fortunate in- deed to have such an excellent family ready to move into his home and keep house for him, he thinks He intends to spend the remainder of his life here and continue to improve his farm as had been his and his good wife's plan for years. His hospitable home will remain welcome place for his guests the same in the future as it has been in the past.

I saw an interesting fight. A pup was playing with a tiny red pig about eight inches long and three or four inches high. The pig would open his mouth as wide as he could, rear up on his hind legs and make for the pup as vicious as any razor back that ever run in the woods and he kept it up for five minutes until I told a little girl if she did not stop the fight the pig would worry itself to death.

J. M. Hill, who teaches the Led widge school, informs me that he had taught four months up to January first then his directors presented him with a contract to sign to teach seven months more to July first. That's elev- en months. The result of all this is that the little Italian Americans will make great men and women.

c,es used by the local postoffice to

trucks. The war department. 1t APP
pears. has number OF such trucks
which. II Ia argued. could be used to
advantage in the mail service.
Such system already has been
inaugurated AZ Norfolk. according to
Postmaster Hay r. Thornton, mainly
because of the difficulty In obtaining q
concern to contract for hauling the
mails. as Is being done in Richmond.
Postmaster Thornton IL inclined to

government ID saving ut least $4,000
annually that would be added to the
cost were the proposed motor service

Mr. Thornton argues that the pres
emit contractor can employ colored driv-
ers for So or - : week. whereas ex-
perienced ehauffeurr. ut double and
trabis this wage. would have to be
employed to operate the motor trucks.
In addition. PostmAfter Thornton points
out. the upkeep OF ffteen or moro

Thirteen horse-drawn vehicles are
now used for hauling mall between

$4,000 ! year Postmaster Thornton
figures the motor truck sysfem with

kind and quantity of explosiv, 8
purchased, and purpose for
which it is to be used. This al
SO compels practically every
drug store in the United States
to have a license permitting
them to have in possession and
sell explosives ingredients, and
the buyer must have license
when purchasing these ingre-
dents in quantities of an ounce
or more, and the dealer must
keep the same record as the par
ty who sells dynamite. These
ingredients are: Bichromates,
CELEBRATES, Chromates, Nitrate s,
Nitric Acid, PerchIorates, Per.
borates, Permanganates, Perox-
ides, andiPhosphorous, in their
various forms.
This law will be rigidly en-
forced in the future; it having
been in Eeffect since November
Is, 1917, and every dealer has
had time to familiarize himself
with the law and all it's details,
and no excuse will be accepted
in the future. Violation of this
Act carries alpenalty of $1,000
fine or imprisonment in FEEDER
al prison, or both. A careful
and systematic check is being
made, by Federal Authorities,
of every dealer in the State who
handles explosives or ingredients
regardless of location or size.
An inspector or some deputy
may drop in any day, and deal
ers should not allow themselves
to be caught unprepared.
There is a United States Ex-
plosives Licensing Officer in ev.
cry County, and such dealers as
have not already procured their
license should take immediate
steps to do so.
This is considered one of the
most important war measures
enacted by our Congress, and
dealers can not be too careful in
making sales of explosives or
their ingredints.

"The terrible swelling of my ankles
has disappeared; the pains 1 suffered
in my back are gone; the feeling as
though heavy rock was in my stom-
ach after eating is no more. -.
II can't ask any more of your medi-
cine, INDU, but it just seems as
though it is making me feel younger
and happier each day." r-.a- ~
That is what Mrs Malisa Henry,
612 Vine street, Greensboro, says
about INDU. That is the story she
is telling her neighbors and friends,
for they have all expressed surprise at
her wonderfully improved condition
and have asked her repeatedly: "Mrs.
Henry, what in the world are you do
ing to look so well?"
Mrs. Henry has even carried the
glad tidings of her discovery to her
church people.
Life looks so different to me now"
the good woman added, land 1 want
every one to know just what I suffer.
ed and what relief. l have found in
INDU."
If you suffer rheumatic twinges,
constipation, belching gas after meals,
if you are tired and run down, sleep
restlessly and do not enjoy your
nights sleep: if you awaken in the
morning feeling as though your rest
has not benefited you, try INDU.
Better still, talk with Mrs. Henry
and let her tell you, in her own words,
what INDU has done for her; what it
is doing for many of her neighbors.
Then you will understand just why
people in every walk OF life praise
this wonderful medicine.
