It relieves pain and soreness caused by Rheumatism, Neuralgia, Sprains, etc. Some girls are so constituted that they imagine that every strange man who glances at them is anxious to start a flirtation. 666 has more imitations than any other Chill and Fever Tonic on the market, but no one wants imitations in medicine.

The old store house lately used as a Chinese laundry is being torn down to make room for a handsome iwo-siory brick build ing. This old store was built by the late J. T.

Death of Mrs. William Morecock. We regret to an nounce the death of Mrs. William Morecock, which occurred at tbe residence of her husband on last Saturday. The funeral took place from her late home last Sunday af ternoon and the interment was at the family burial ground, Rev. E. D. Dodd, conducting the service. Quite a number of Weldon people attended the funeral. She leaves a devoted husband and three little girls to mourn their loss. We deeply sympathize with the be reaved ones. House Party at Halifax.

They arrived in Enfield Monday morn ing and will make this place their home. They have the heartiest congratulations of their hosts of friends. Enfield Progress. Do Not Furnish the Fuel. We are generally losers in the end if we stop to refute all the back bitings and gossipings we may hear by the way. They are annoying, it is true, but not dangerous so long as we do not stop to expostu late and scold. Our characters are formed and sustained by our selves and by our own actions and not by others. They may injure us for a time but public opinion and justice will correct all ground less slander if we do not furnish fuel to the flame by taking valuable lime to deny the charge. Death of Mr. J. E. Bowers. The community was shocked last Saturday when the news reached here that Mr. J. E. Bowers, of Scotland Neck, had died in Wash ington after an operation had been performed on him for appendicitis. Mr. Bowers had been treasurer of the county for many years and was indeed a very popular official. The remains were brought to Scotland Neck last Saturday evening and tenderly laid lo rest Sunday after noon. He was about 37 years old. Peace to his ashes and ever greens to his memory. Diamond Rubber Company Announce Increased Milege Adjustment. The Diamond Rub ber Co., Inc., of Akron, 0., an nounced new increased mileage ad justment to Diamond I ire users and dealers that is in keeping with actual results obtained from these famous tires 6000 miles on fabric tires and 8000 miles on Diamond Cord Tires. The new adjustment also applies to every Diamond Tire of future or past sale, including tires in the hands of car owners or dealers. Diamond users and Diamond dealers have long known the big mileage in Diamond Tires the users own tires The Diamond Rubber Co. have marked up iheir adjustment to 6000 miles for Dia mond Fabric Tires and 8000 miles for Diamond Cord Tires respect ively merely lo measure out a definite share of the superb mileage that the wonderful strength and endurance Diamond Tires have in them as shown from thousands and thousands of satisfied customers Keep a Stiff Upper Lip. The most perilous time of a person s life is when he is templed to de spond. The man who loses his courage loses all. There is no more hope for him than there is for a dead man. It mailers not, however, he may be pushed by cir cumstances if he only keeps his courage up, holds up his head, and with unconquerable will deter mines to be and do what becomes a man; all that makes or unmakes. Keep a stiff upper lip. Realize thai success or failure depends, af ter all, on you and you alone. A man makes his own bed and must e on it. So make up your mind that you will succeed and then get down to work with determination. "The road to wealth is as easy as the road to market." You must call to your aid all that can honesly assist you; can help you invest your savings, however small; ihat can develop in you the courage and cheefulness. The Little Things. The ca pacity to enjoy life is "one great thing, to be able no matter what happens to wear a serene face. If things are not as we would wish, enjoy what we can and hope for better limes. There are no more unattractive persons living than those who never enjoy life, who look upon it as a vale tears, who, if ihey do take pleasure in any thing, do so under protest. The most unpromising conditions of life may be made to yield us some good if we look for it, and the looking for ii will do us good even if we do not find it; the dwelling on the disadvantages not only sours, but shuts off all hope of our seeing any oossible good it it should be there. So, if we would make ourselves at tractive in the best sense of the word, cultivate a capacity of pleas ure in the little things, the bird songs thai waken us in the morn ing, and we will never lack mate rial to interest us, for our lives are made up of little pleasures, little troubles, and small things generally. Why Don't Yot:?-Why don't you answer your friend's letter at once? Ii will have double value if written prompily, and will take no more lime than by and by. Why don't you make the prom ised visit to that invalid? She is looking for you day after day, and hope deferred maketh the heart sick." Why don't you send away ihat ittle gift you've been planning to send? Mere kind intentions never accomplish any good. Why don't you speak out the encouraging words you have in yuur thoughts? Unless you ex press ihem ihey are of no use to others. Why don't you take more pains to be self-sacrificing and loving in every day home life? Time is rapidly passing. Your dear ones will not be with you always. Why don't you create around you an atmosphere of happiness and helpfulness, so that all who come in touch with you may be made better? Is not this possible? Why don't you follow in the steps of Him who "came not to be ministered unto, but to minister?" Pepsi-Cola Co. Enjoys Big Business. That the salesof Pep si-Cola in this section will eclipse those of any past year in the his tory of the company, was the gist of a statement given this paper to day by the management Weldon Pepsi-Cola Bottling Company. During the period of the war bottlers all over the country were forced to curtail their output on account of the sugar shortage and in this city the Pepsi-Cola Bottling Company was not always able 10 supply the large demand for that well known beverage. However, now that the armistice has been signed and the restriction on the sugar has been removed, they are able to secure all the syrup that they can make use of and they are taking advantage of this to supply their local patronage to the limit. The Pepsi-Cola Company is waging an extensive advertising campaign and this is aiding mate rially in boosting the sales of this well known and popular beverage and these are daily increasing by leaps and bounds. 1 nai repsi-Loia has real merit and is appealing lo the public is plainly apparent through the large sales which it is enjoying. The series of Meetings at the Baptist Church. The se ries of meetings which have been in progress at the Baptist church for the last ten days have been ex ceedingly interesting and enjoya ble. Rev. Dr. J. H. Dew, of Ridge Crest, N. C, who has been preaching, has brought to the peo ple of Weldon the old, old story of the Gospel in a most impressive and attractive manner. Large crowds have attended the services and many have professed a desire to lead a better life. The Bible verses read at intervals by the Pas tor and Rev. F. M. Shamburger, who has entered thoroughly into the spirit of the meeting, have been pointed and clear showing Dr, Dew's familiarity with the word of God and his entire dependance on the Scriptures combined with earn est prayer to reach the hearts of the unsaved and persuade even pro fessing Christians the necessity ol a consecratea lire, i ne singing has been informal and enthusiastic, many or the old songs and tunes which have not perhaps been heard for years have revived memories in many hearts, (June a number have given their names for church membership and no doubt the meetings have done much good. "LAIIQH A LITTLE BIT." Here's a motto just your fit; "Laugh a little bit," When you think you're trouble hit. "Laugh a little bit." Look Misfortune in the face, Brave the beldam's rude grimace Ten to one 'twill yield its place If you have the grit and wit Just laugh a little bit. Keep your face with sunshine lit "Laugh a little bit." Gloomy shadows off will flit If you have wit and grit Just to laugh a little bit. Cherish this as sacred writ "Laugh a little bit." Keep it with you, sample it "Laugh a little bit." Liule ills will sure betide you, Fortune may not sit beside you, Men may mock and fame deride you. But you'll mind them not a bit If you laugh a little whit. Edmund V. Cook Nothing is wasted these days. If there are anything they are made into hats for men. With the Democrats talking ef ficiency and the Republicans talk ing economy the world is indeed turned upside down. FOR SALE.

Here's to Carolina's soldier boys, Our best beloved and true Fighting for us the wrongs of earth Under the Red, While and l-ilue. Here's to the boys from way down south, The boys we all adore They gave their lives to right our wrongs, Under the flag ihey bore. Here's lo the boys from all our land, United to a man Glad to die for the Hag ihey love.1 A brave and gallant band. Here's to the boys, when ihey re turn From hardships and from toil- In God's hands we leave the ones Who resi in foreign soil. Here's to the mothers of our dear boys, God give them joy and peace And keep their loved ones close to them, Till life and war shall cease. Mary Kerr Spencer. NDEPENDENCE Of FARM LABOR. The farmer faces an entirely dif ferent situation today with the shortage of labor than he he did in the old days when larm hands were plentiful. While timid farmers, using labor scarcity as an excuse, have aban doned their farms and drilled to the towns, the progressive farm owners are fast learning to acquire independence of labor. The use of machinery in the place of muscel is the answer. The problems of quick transpor tation, sawing and hauling cord wood, country produce and larm supplies, cutting ensilage, grinding feed, shelling corn, threshing wheat storing hay and filling a silo these and much other farm work can be done by one man wiih a belt, a pulley and the engine ol one motor truck. All these feats of usefulness are combined in the Indiana Farm Truck with its porjable power units. This truck will make the aver age farmer independent of farm hands. These labor-saving tasks are in a day's work of the Indiana Farm Truck. It can also be used as a power plant to light the farm, and il will pump water as efficiently as a fire engine. A farmer safeguards his proper ty, puts convenience and pleasure into his farm work, and surrounds himself and his family with an at mosphere of comfori by the service of one of these remarkable Indiana Farm Trucks. The investment as your banker will regard the purchase of one of these trucks is offered to every responsible farmer on easy time payments by the Carolina Motor Company, of Siatesville, N. C. TAKE" ASPIRIN WAS TALCUM Therefore Insist Upon Gen uine "Bayer Tablets of Aspirin" Millions of fraudulent Aspirin Tablets were sold by a Brooklyn manufacturer which later proved to be composed mainly of Talcum Powder. "Bayer Tablets of As pirin" the true, genuine, Ameri can made and American owned Tablets are marked with the safety "Bayer Cross." Ask for and then insist upon "Bayer Tablets of Aspirin" and always buy them in the original Bayer package which contains proper directions and dosage. Aspirin is the trade mark of Bayer Manufacture of Monoacetic acidester of Salicylicacid.
