I Rational Pneumonia I ly and La Grippe Vh TREATMENT. The most successful physicians are now I treating pneumonia and ta grippe by the application of counter-irritants. They are \TY?o learning to resist the temptation to doctor 1 \f/ the cough, which, after ali, is only nature's YAy effort to relieve her?elf, and are endeavoring f?/ . to reach tbe seat of the congestion without tbe use of internal remedies. Some are uslDg preparations about as pleas- 1 ant to tbe patient as an application oi mud ' or putty, but then isest use a pleasant llq . id \ oounter-lrritant. The Ideal lemedy Is Noah's Liniment. Its carefully compounded Ingredients possess wonderful powers of penetration and Immediately reduce the Inflammation and con- J gestlon. I Noah's Lldraent is absolutely hHrmless, fl and can be used freely without consultation M with a physician. Apply tbe llnlmet:t freely m over tbe point of pain or congestion Hatu- m rate a hot flannel and keep It applied to that m portion of tbe body. The effect will be al- m most immediate, and In many ca^es the K threatened pneumonia will ue dispelled be- ? lore a physician can be secured.

Oq Sunday before last the weather was >good and Mr. R. C. Wilson, a first diss clerk In Mr. Barksdale's store, thought to exercise his high stepper which bad been feasting for weeks In Mr. George While's stable, doing no II work, while sympathising sincerely with the SS neighboring animals which were taken out dally for exercise In front of wagons, buggies .r.- ninto? ?a t he demand might be. Of course. as a result, Mr. Wilson's horse felt bis oats and was In first class condition lor swlfty moving over tbe distance between bis borne and tbe residence of bis kinswoman, Mrs. Carrie Cater, widow ol the late Tbomas Cater. In tbe olden time, It was said tbat It was not good for man to be alone. It Is even true now tbat It is Dot good for man to be alone. So Mr. V/iiron Invited bis aunt, Miss SMtittle Cater, to make Ibe trip In a bug^v wltb him out to Warrenton, some six mi.es CI distant. Starting out under tbe most au?- an piclous circumstances lor a pleasant di Ive, they soon pulled up at the home ol Mrs. Cater, who. at an advanced age, had been ill, 6E and about whose recovery douots were at one yc time entertained. -t When tbe vMt was ended, Mr. Wilson's blgh stepper was harnessed again, and hitched to the buggy, when the journey homeward ^ was begun. . All went well for a time, but for some rea- ia , son unexplained to us, tbe horse became nay Hi * and irlsky In tbe road in iront of Rev. II. M. _ Cheatham's residence, and the animal moved ott wltb tbe speed of tue wind, aolng down w the road leading to tbe creek. They g ided rii down the bill so swiftly and so smoothly that m the oocupants of the buggy haruiy Knew whether they were satl'ng in Ibe air, or rid- Ee lug In an automobile which touched tbe Wl giound only In high places. Of course a ride h; of this sort did not ibm all the atternuon. All j. roads, like all ibnes, have a turn alter awhile. 01 The driver, Mr. Wilson, seeing the turn ol Wl the road In the distance before nim became fn apprehensive of danger. Miss Cater had mhIU her prayers, an is u?ua wnb ber on Sunday *1! morning, but Mr. Wlhwn was not certain as Of to whether be bad telumed thanks lor the rr\ watchful of tbe E>?* that never sleeps nor y slumbers on Saturday night, but to roakx ol * things safe, be thought to pray. Things *ere. ~ exciting now, and time Beemed short He L* could think ol nothing original to say in his I plea, and so, not forgetting tbe lessons of E . childhood, and the near approach to the bend G in tbe road, he began: "Now I lay me down 1 to sleep." As this part of the prayer was said, tbe horse and buggy bad reached tbe | torn In tbe road of wbicb we are speaking, ? and upon which tbe aforesaid borse and buggy were traveling, when the vehicle and ibe horse turned over Id the gulley. An QDburt borse lay In (he gulley, while a much bruised man and woman lay scattered out lu tbe road. Tbey were so near tbe oreek tbat If the accident bad bappeued a mile dlslance further down tbe road the whole party might have been in a very realistic swim In a good nz?d creik, wltb ibe water a little more chilly than It Is la the days when If little boys go to play lo tbe branch. It is well tbat nobody was drowned. The water was too cold for apjbody to gj Into it afer ibe drowned bodies, though iney might have been fished out. Mr. Wilson separated himself from tbe entangling association with buggy lines, buggy tops, buggy cushions, buggy wheels and rr* other oulflitlngs for an interesting scramble. rC L'f Ine tbe top of tbe bupgy (fl>f bis aunt, wbo was I) Icg.ln tbe roau. she lookedat him . wltb an ai xlous t ye, and with a feeling exfrt presslon of speecb, said something like ibf: C 'I am dead; are you bur 1" Mr. Wilson ?xaroli ed himself very can fully and finally found that bis left arm was out of place. That member has been n a sling ever since. . Miss Cater was helped to her feet, and It was found tbat no limbs were broken, but tbat *be bad been badly shaken up. A little time, however, will cure all her bruises. Tbe repair to bats and clolbes la quite another y thing. Tbe funny part of tbe whole affair was wben Mr. Wll60n and a number of assembled friends attempted to get the borse ont of the dltcb and set blm again on bis feel. Nobody seemed to work anywhere except at tbe bead of tbe animal. All wanted to help at the bridal. Nobody wanted to get near bis feet, which seemed to move with wonderful suppleness. Tbe animal was tormented until It went Into convulsions. When equity of mind bad been restored, tbe animal gave Mr. V* llson a look of indignation as much us to enquire why be bad thrown blm Into tbe wayside ditch. Mr. Wilson did not say bad words. His aunt and a preacher were present, and for this reason be made no sort ol oral reply to the indignant look of the horse. The borse nas simply thrown on bis barR Id tbe ditch, wtih his feet above him, wltlout be^ng hurt. The buggy was knocked oht ^ of commission, and It was laid up for re pairs. Mr. R. B. Cbeatbam end Rev B. M. Cheatbam acted tbe part ol good Samaritans, In fe'odlv sending the wonndtd people home. News ot tbe accident was phoned to town, hdd pbyslclaus were notified that tbelr presence was needed hi tbe respective b mtsof (he wounded. Wltb bandages and olber things, phvKlclans were on band to hi lend t> ib* wantH ot tbe wounded as soon hh the) m rived. Miss Rebcca Cater was so anxious about her sister and ber nephew tbat she Bt once _ secured a buggy and s?t out lor tbe scene ? without delay. There wns nothing wrong In going to tbe assistance of her klnspeople, except tbe fact that she went out on one rOBd wblle tbe wounded people came borne by another route. The wounded folk will rrcover from their bruises, and tbelr kindred are already ovei tbelr scare. All's well tbat ends well. ; The serious .matter about this wbo.'e affair Is tbat Mr. W. D. Barksdale during tbe evening was not acquainted with the'facts and knew nothing ot bow near be came to losing a first class bend clerk and bookkeeper. Mr. Wilson has for a long time been head clerk and book-keeper for Mr. Barksi dale, hading merchant of this city, who does a big business. In a few years be has grown to be one of tbe richest men In town. Mr. Birktdale Is now In bis elegant new store In the Realty Company's block, wbtre a host ot customers keep bis cleiks busy. In bis new quarters Mr. Bnrksdale's business has increased so tbat be Is selling more than be ever sold before In tbe same length ol lime. His force as now constituted, Is composed of; m _ Mr. R. C. Wilson, bead clerk and bookkeeper. ? Mr. T. A. Able In charge of tbe dry goods ana sdoec. Mr. L. A. Gutllebeau, assisted by Mr. Charley McNeill and R L. Maory, Jr., deals oat the groceries, farm supplies. He. Mr. Wilson wan able to go back to bis pos!tloo 1 ist Thursday, but re has bb yet do use of his left arm. Besides being a goo'i salesman and a flist class book-keeper, Mr. WHsod, on tbe lien law, has a bead so level on top that quick silver wouldn't run eff of It. He owns several hundred seres "out od tbe river," wbereevertbat may be, and be expects to make n n profit on bis Investment by reming out bis U land, and lettlrg merchants take the risky credits. He, like some other land-owners, does not rare to advance tbe money to tenants. In one respect he Is like other owners of land. He hasn't a thousand dollars In his ? pocket which be is willing to lend out without the security which tenants could Dot give?If the Hen law was rep aled. Good for Everybody. Mr. Norman R.
