Contributed.
On Saturday morning March 17th,
the children, grand children, mend
and neighbors began to assemble
unawares at the home of Mr and Mrs
D 0 McMasters,at Farmer. The
Esquire was making stove wood and,
no doubt, meditating upon some
knotty problem of law, and Mrs
McMasteis, who ha? been Beriously
afflicted with rheumatism was quiet
ly sitting by her cozy fireside,
awaiting patiently and axiously
for the return of springtime wnen,
mav-be. she will once more be en
abled to look well to her garden,
and flowers, and chickens &c.
Thev anticipated nothing, therefore
they looked for nothing, but about
10:30 o'clock one buggy after an
other began to drive into the yard,
and by 11:30 more than half a
hundred old folks, young folks, and
little folks had arrived, bringing
baskets filled with good things to
eat, and by 12: 30, onthe sunny side
of the house, an improvised table
was filled to overflowing, whea the
Rev B F Fincher came forward,
blessed the food and
invited all present to come forword
and ioin in celebrating the 67th
birthday of Daniel Green, and the
5th of JNancy Mcfllasters. And
we all celebrate'd. Nothing occurr
ed to mar the festivity of the occa
sion save the absence of three of
their daughters: Miss Cora, Mrs
Browning and Mrs Brookshire, who
live at such distance they could not
be there. May they live long and
have just forty more celebrations
like this one.
Mrs M Lassiter, of Montgomerv

To "Nationalize" Railroads.
The Baltimore Sun says Japan is
.eoon to take steps to "nationalize"
railroads by bnying all the railroads
in that country to be operated by
the government. The government
will pay $250,000,000 tor the sys
twns. While the government pre-
ents as their reason for this move
to provide economical and im
proved railroad facilities, it is
thought the revenue to be derived is
the real obiect. The Wilmington
Messenger is wondering if it will be
like Germany's revenue producing
telegraph and telephone service.

To Advertisers.
The Courier has spent large
sums of money in working up its
circulation anu to-uay it tnorougn
ly covers Randolph and adjoining
counties besides having a large list
tnrougnout this and other states.
But we are working to build up
Randolph county and the Piedmont
section of North Carolina.
To this end we have built our cir
culation, that our advertisers and the
community might secure the greater
publicity. We have improved
our plant and enlarged our paper
all of which necessarily increases
expenses.
Hence this article notifying our
advertisers that after March 1st,
1906, the advertising rate is as fol
lows:
Per inch one time 25c
" " " month per issue 20c
" " two months " " 17c
" " six " and over " " 15c
Reading notices will lie charged ut the
rate of one cent per word. No reader ac
cepted for less than 25c.
All bills payable monthly.
Our circulation is not made up
of dead heads and exchanges, but
paying subscribers, who send us the
cash for their subscription. Few
are more than six months in arrears
and many are paid in advance.
This shows that we circulate among
a prosperous people the class that
advertisers desire to reach.
The Courier appreciates the
patronage accorded it in the past
and pledges every effort to give
value received for future business
placed with it.
One would think the Laxative
idea in a cough syrup should have
been advanced long before it was.
It seems the only rational remedy
for Coughs and Colds would be to
move the bowels and clean the
mucous membranes of the throat
and lungs at the same time. Ken

does this. It is the Original Laxa

remedy for Coughs, Colds, Croup,
Whooping Cough, etc. Tastes
