A Corrected Correction.
Several issues of the Topic have
contained statements and corrections
regarding the divorce and marriage
of Mr. Geo. M. Kinard, formerly of
this place but now of Lexington'. N. C.
To sum it up, it seems ats if Mr.
Kinard wvas married here mcre than
a year ago and at the same~ time
had a living wife in Newberry, S. C.
This fact became known aind Mr.
Kinard left Lenoir for an unknown
(ro many) destination. Later he re
turned claiming to have sect:red a
divorce from his first wi-c. The
ceremony was performed a se:ond
time and he and his wife left for
Lexington. N. C. An accou"t of this
was published and fell into the hands
of his first wife. She wro% the
Top'c stating that she knew nothing
of the divorce proceedure. This was
published. Interested parties in tex
ington have sent us a copy of tl-c
iudgment. under seal - the Clerk of
superior court which we print below.
Our object all along has been only
to publish the facts to the best of our
knowledge, and 'we t-ust that this
will close The matter.

They Got the "Glassy Eye."
A certain confectioner in New York, r
who caters chiefly to the little folks
of the neighborhood, lately arranged
his shop window with great care in s
preparation for a local festivity. 'The
crowning attraction of the whole was a
a large chocolate tiger with most
realistic green eyes made of glass a
marbles which had cost the designer $
25 cents apiece. In the tiger's mouth J
was a card bearing the inscription,
"Nothing in this window over 5 cents J
a quarter pound."
A crowd of youngsters quickly as
sembled on the sidewalk. and pres
ently, after much spelling over the
placard, two of them invaded the
shop and deposited a nickel upon the
counter.
"Say, mister," began the smaller -
boy earnestly, "gimme a quarter o'
a pound o' tiger-the piece with the
eyes in!"

An Odd Wedding Custom.
A unique wedding custom prevails r
in Manchuria. The bride and her at
tendants, all moun-ced on stilts, pro- t
ceed through the main streets of the
village to the domicile of the groom,
who meets the procession and con- 1
ducts it to the place where the cere
mony is to be performed. He and a
his friends are also on stilts. Social
prominence is indicated not by rich
ness of attire, but by the height of
the stilts worn by the assembled
guests. The higher the rank of the
wedded pair the loftier the stilts they t
wear. If, as sometimes happens, the
contracting parties are of differing
social standing the effect is more
than usually ludcrious.
Incredible Brutality.
It would have been incredible brutal
ity if Chas. F. Lemnberger of Syracuse,
N Y., had not done the best he could
for his suffering son. "My boy," he l
says, "cut a fearful gash over his eye,
so I applied Bucklen's Arnica Salve, I
whIch quickly healed it and saved his
eve." Good for burns and ulcers too.

An Irishman's Retort.
Cyrus W. Field of Atlantic cable
fame once stopped an Irish peasant
to .make inquiries about Blarney cas
tle. Receiving the information, he
gave the Irishman the following
conundrum: "No'w, Mike, suppose
that Lucifer was sure of us bot'h,
which would he take first ,do you
think?"
The Irishman looked thoughtful
for a moment, then said, "Yer honor.
I think he'd take me."
"Why?" said Field.
"Because 'he's always sure of you."
The Colonel's Waterloo.
Colonel John M. Fuller, of Honey
Grove, Texas, nearly met his Waterloo,
from Liver and Kidney Trouble. In a
recent letter, he says: "I was nearly
dead, of these complaints and~ although
I tried my family doctor, he did me no
good; so I got a 5oc. bottle of your
great Electric Bitters, which cured me.
I consider them the best medicine on
earth, and thank God who gave you
the knowledge to make them.'' Sold,

liousness and Kidney Disease, by W. E.
Pelham & Son, Druggists, at 50c. a

Strikes Hidden Rocks.
When your ship of health strikes the
hidden rocks of Consumption, Pneu
monia, etc., you are lost, if you don't
get help from Dr. King's New Dis
covery for Consumption. J. W. Mc
Kennon, of Talladega Springs, Ala.
writes: "I had been very ill with Pneu-j
monia, under the care of two doctors,;
but was getting no better when I began
to take Dr. King's New Discovery.
