Yotir friends may smile
But that tired feeling
Means danger. It
\ Indicates impoverished
And impure blood.
This 1 condition may
Lead to serious illness.
It should be promptly
Overcome by taking
„ Hoods Sarsaparilla,
Which purifies and
Enriches the blood,
Strengthens the nerves,
Tones the stomach,
Creates an appetite,
And^uilds up.
Energizes and vitalizes
The whole system.
Be sure to get
Only Hood’s.

Advertising as a Commercial Rating.
Count/ publlihert receive subicrip-
110119 now and then from city firms
who can have no interest in the local
news of the paper. This paragraph
in ihe New York Times may explain
the reason for these “foreign" sub
scriptions:
‘ A wholesale grocer in this city,
who has become rich at the business,
says his rule is that when he sells a
bill of goods on credit to immediately
subscribe for the local paper of his
debtor. So long as his customer
advertised liberally, he rested, but at
soon as lie began to contract his
advertising space he took tho fact as
evidence that there was troble ahead
and invariably went for the debtor.
Said he: 'The man who is too poor
to make his bnsiness known is too poor
to do business. The withdrawal of
an advertisement is evidence of weak
ness that business man are not slow
to set upon. There’s nothing Ilk#
it.,” Here is another reason why
the country merchant cannot afford
to ignore advertising in the home
paper.
And so We Do.
“After all," says the Fork Gaines,
Ga., Gazette, “the man bshind the

House and Contents Consumed by the
Fire.
News reached the city last Thurs
day of the loss by tire of the home
of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Hannon,
which occurred on Wednesday. Mr.
und Mrs. Harmon live on the planta
tion of Mr. Wm. Jonta, inthe Asbury
neighborhood.
Mr. Harmon was in the field pick
ing cotton. Mrs. Harmon went out
to assist him in the work. The field
was near tha house und Mrs. llurmou
had left bur infant, only three or foar
months old, and their only child, in
the house alone. Tha mother had not
been in the field a great while when
smoke was seen to be issuing from
the house. The father and mother
went in haste to their home, o*ily to
lind that tha Are was beyond control.
An effort was made to gain admit
tance but the Haines drove them
back. They had gained such head
way it was impossible to enter and
the agonizing spectacle of mother and
father being compelled to stand and
witness the destruction of their home
and the awful death of their infant
was presented to the sympathizing
neighbors who had gathered to render
assistance. The unfortunate peo
ple lost everything they possessed,
not even a change of clothing was
saved. Besides the loss of thoir
household goods und thoir infant
they lost nearly a bale of cotton by
the tire.
On the same day Mr. Thomas Mill-
wood’s house, together with a con
siderable quantity of seed cotton,
was destroyed by fire. Mr. Mill-
wood had the good fortune to save
nearly all his household goods.
Both these unfortunate families
have the sympathy of the people of
the entire county in their dire mis
fortune.
Among the Convalescents.
Mr. William F. Brown is able to be
about the house after several months
sickness. We hope to see him out on
the streets at an early dale.
Miss Kdna Robertson is up again
after a seven weeks attack of remit
tent fever. Shu will be welcomed
again into her social circle by her
many friends.
Mrs. W. C. Carpenter’s many
friends will be pleased to learn that
she is able to bo up after a some
what lengthy attack of sickness.
Mr. Kd Byars, who has been con
fined to his home f'r some time, is
again able to be out among his friends.
Miss Fannie Hopper is able to be
out after a sickness of several week’s
duration.
Washouts on the O. R. & C.
The heavy rains of last Thursday*
night caused considerable troub.o for
the O. R. it C. R. R. Several trusties
along its route were damaged to such
an extent that the running of trains
had to be suspended. The chief
trouble was at .Mannings branch, jusJ,
east of King’s creek station, wnert
the trestle was washed away. Be
tween Ibis city and Blacksburg sev
eral places were so severely washed
that no trains were run between these
two places from Thursday until Mon
day. Repairs have been made all
along the line and schedules resumed.

R. Cash through the window and
took a coat, vest, hut, shoes and also
