He is surely a few days in the lead. The town of Wheatfield is in the throes of a social revolution, which is shaking the place like a mighty earthquake. Nothing like it has ever been attempted since Nero fiddled at the burning of Rome. From now on the law of Moses in all its severity will be the measuring rod of human conduct, with the addition of “thou shall not spit upon the streets, sidewalks or on the lots or parks of said town.” The wet or dry question is surely receiving unlimited attention here. The issue is, shall the people of Jasper county drink buttermilk or beer. Whether the cow or brewery shall reign, is still an unsettled question. No matter how the question is settled by the electorate, of Jasper county, we can make a suggestion that will appeal to both wet and dry. Feed the cows hops and corn and we will have a grand compromise dnnk.

Mr. F. G. Fritts, Oneonta, N.

Words To Free The Soul. “Your son has Consumption. His Case is hopeless.” These appalling words were spoken to Geo. E. Elevens, a leading merchant of Springfield, N. C. by two expert doctors—one a lung specialist. Then was shown the wonderful power of Dr. King's New Discovery. “After three weeks use,” writes Mr. Elevens, “he was as well as ever. I would not take all the money in the world for what it did for my boy.” Infallible for Coughs and Colds, its the safest, surest cure of desperate Lung diseases on earth. 50c, and SI.OO Guarantee satisfaction.
