Published In the Gaffney Ledger, ')ct. 14, 21 and 28, 1901, New Variety of Corn. Dock Webber, of the Wilkinsville sec tion of the county, showed us some sam ples of a new kind of corn a few days ago. He called it the Currituck variety, and said he brought the seed from Ire dell county, N. C., three years ago, and has been raising it altogether since then. Mr. Webber says that it is a splendid com for poor land, and that in rich soil it frequently produce^ two cobs, or a double cob, to one ear. The grains are long and flat and grow close together. It yields an abundant crop, and makes fine bread. Several of Mr. Webber’s neighbors are beginning to use this va riety of corn. Du niter of w Cough. Pneumonia, grip, cold, bronchitis and nearly every other dangerous sickness of this kind is usually the development of a slight cough. Too many people arc laid up and too many die from diseases wher^ they could so easily knock that first cough in the head. Murray’s Horehound Mul lein and I ar cures colds. It just drops the bottom out of a cough. Every drug gists has it for 25c a bottle. Remember “Murray’s” and take no other. Regular 50c size.

It is sel dom that local playgoers of this country have such an opportunity of seeing one of the best things in the amusement world, and it is to be hoped that the man ager’s efforts in securing this excellent attraction will be appreciated. A Novel Cotton Barr. Felix Isler, of near Blacksburg, was in to see us Tuesday. He brought with him for our inspection a novelty in the form of a cotton burr with seven different sec tions or compartments. He had found only two burrs of this kind on his place across the river, though he had found others with six sections. A Correction. In our last issue we stated that the Misses Pollock, of Blacksburg, were studying music under Miss Fannie Corry, at this place.
