Wirc/d Drippirucr Parte? Facts About The Great Majestic Range, It is the only range in the world made of Malleable and Charcoal Iron. It has, beyond any question of a doubt, the largest and best reservoir. It uses about half the fuel used on other ranges, and does better work by far. 2 The Majestic All Copper Nickeled Reservoir heats the water quicker and hotter than any other. It is the only reservoir with a removable frame. The Charcoal Iron Body of the Great Majestic Range lasts three times as long as a steel body. Being made of non-breakable material, there is practi cally no expense for repairing the Majestic. As for baking, it is perfection, not only for a few months, but for all times to come. A GREAT MAJESTIC RANGE lasts three times as long as a cheap range, but it don't cost three times as much. PROOF?We don't ask you to take our word for any of the above statements, but if you will call at our store, a man from the factory, where Majestic ranges are made, will prove to your satisfaction, that these are absolute facts, and will show you many more reasons why the Great Majestic Range is absolutely the best that money can buy. Everybody Welcome! S.M.*E.H.Wilkes*Co. Everybody Welcome! I JOHN COOLEY AND BETSEY. | Did you ever get down and seriously think how many sorts and kinds of people it takes to make a world? Out of the innumerable multitudetjhat could not be numbered, was John and Bet sey Cooley. It did not take much to feed the two, and John did not hanker much after the hot sun shine rather devote his time to hunting and fishing. The old man could not hold himself still. Had a bad attack of palsy. The first time I saw him trying- to shoot a squirrel out of (a high poplar tree, thinks I old fellow you wont hit the top of the tree, the way that gun is shaking. At the crack of the old musket, down fell the squirrel?he got the right wabble on it. The last time I saw John, he was poping down from Cooley's bridge to sec his kin. I called him in and had a chat with him. John, I have heard of one of yonr fishing trips down Reedy river, and wish to know something about it; I have heard them say that you were fishing one day at mouth of the John Suihson creek, for eels, and you just fished over the bed of willows that had had been cut off the bank and piled in the edge of the water, and ?caught right there, eighty eels, and the smallest one was as large as your wrist. Now John, honor bright was this true? "Yes, every word of it is the truth." So he confirmed the old tale. It is best to allow a little latitude to fishing and hunting tales. Betsey could turn the cup and tell fortunes. "We divinest with the cup," you had to make coffee (the stronger, the better) and fill the cup and let her drink off the coffee. . Then turn down the smoking cup, until the sediments settled on the sides, on turning up the cup again your fortune was read from lines on the inside of the cup. The girls often visited Aunt Betsey to get their fortunes told, and I never knew her not to tell a g-ood one. Always a pretty young man?the handsomest and richest young man in the land, arid they would believe every word the old woman told them. There has always been a grain of superstition in us and will be until the end of time. All the old militia companies had a lifer and drummer. John Cooloy was the drummer for the Hickory Tavern Company. Thomas Manly, the miller was greatly troubled with rats at the mill. We heard that if a drum was beaten in the house at night, it would frighten o(f the rats. Wo sent for Cooley and he drummed over the mill from cellar to garrett, until bod time. Abc Machen got out some of the negro boys and collected a pile of fiint rocks on the side of the road, and waited Cooley's return, When near, they threw a few rocks around him. He ex claimed "who is that! mind what you ?are doing." They then throwed the rocks around him, and Cooley broke into a run, Abe eaid, as far aa he' could hear him, he could hear the clater of his wooden shoes. He ran two miles and fell in the door of Betsey Hice at the Tavern. She grabbed him and shook him until the breath got into him again. "John, what in the world is matter with you," "Betsey somebody tried to kill me with rocks as I came up the big road." Attack of Diarrhoea Cured by One Dose of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. I was so weak from an attack of diar rhoea that I could scarcely attend to my duties, when I took a dose of Cham berlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. It cured me entirely and I had been taking other medicine for nine day-j without relief. 1 heartily recom mend this remedy as being the best to my knowledge for bowel complaints.? R. G.
