No Rest Day or Night "I would lay awake for hours without any apparent cause, or dream terrible dreams which would bring on extreme spells of nervousness. After taking 1 Dr. Miles' Nervine and Tonic ' for awhile I could sleep well, ! and the nervous spells have left me." MISS ALMA HUG, R. R, No. 4, Canal Dover, Ohio, i Without sleep the nervous system soon becomes a wreck, and the healthful activity of all the organs obstructed. Restful, body-building sleep accompanies the use of Dr. Miles' Nervine because it soothes the irritable nerves, and restores nervous snergy. When taken a few days according to directions, the most restless sufferer will find sleep natural and healthful. Get a bottle from your druggist. Take it all according to directions, and if it does not benefit he will return your money. lif-'e insure () I It THE BEST ir T1 ; Fo Forest Greens Land Sale, ??B*aeo c392f>o 1 will offer f??r sale at public auction I ir cash at the Court Home ;.x>r at Luinberton on Monday, December 6th. l*>oo, at 12 o'clock noon, the followin.tr described tract of land. .*?><> (TURK!-: lll NDRKI)) acres or more, about IV: miles bast of Pembroke? b, mile South o S A L.

He l* I thinks insurance on his residence and other persona * property is necessary?but insure his life, never! This I. llopfical and unwise man proudly boasts of his health S and strength and of his ability to care for his lamih under any and all circumstances. Apparantly he is unmindful of the fact that so often death comes without warning and that even a hard earned competence may fade away in a night. ? is the insurance policy alone that endures; it is the only stiffs barrier against the encroachments of poverty and want. No man in moderate circumstances can aiYord to ignore this stern fact. Self-reliance is a fine tiling in life, but it is not a tangible asset in the hour of death. <1 LIFE INSURANCE. ic best life insurance policy is that one which gives the greatest amount of protection for the money expended. Any agent can figure out an estimate showing that his " company PROMISES the most, but any intelligent person can sec for himself that the policies of the Greensboro Life Insurance Company GUARANTEE B . MORE than the policies of the other company. .... I ii* fnrtVi<?r Anlitrlttmonf * * ^ . ... K-,i iiiui ..ii|?/. i.ini suujcti v:<>inmunieate with Taylor, Gen.
