A re you tired and weak and "blue?"
n 0 you say to yourself, > "What's the
use of living? What do I get out of
life dragging through this drab exis
tence in this unhappy way?"
You don't feel well and you don't
l- n ,,w why you have so little energy to
io anything, and you get all tired out
before it is done. There are millions in
bo. y America that have such feelings
,ow and then, and they are to be pitied.
But there is help. Unless some serious
malady is at the bottom of their trouble,
j few weeks of Pepto-Mangan will work
a wonderful change. Pepto-Mangan
puts new vigor into the blood, and the
Wood is the life fluid. With plenty of
rich, red blood coursing through one's
body one is. pretty likely to feel good
md vigorous and be strong and look
iearty.
Go to your druggist and ask for
"Gude's Pepto-Mangan." Be sure to
iay"Gudes." If "Gude's" is not on
the package it is not Pepto-Mangan.
It is put up in both liquid and tablet
form. Tell the druggist which you
prefer. There is no differece in medi
cinal value.

County Seat News—
Commissioners in Session
Rutherfordton, March, 2. —At a
meeting held at the court house on
Monday afternoon the following res
olution was adopted:
''Be it resolved by a mass meet
ing of citizens of Rutherfordton,
Cbimuey Rock, Cool Springs, Green
Hill and Col'ax Townships of Rutti
erford county in meeting assembled,
that it is the sense of this meeting
that this county s part of cost of the
proposed construction of the high
way, known as State Highway Com
mission project No. 78 should be
promptly made available;
Therefore, be it resolved, that the
County Commissioners be requested
to take at once such steps as are
necessary to assure the prompt
construction of that part of said
highway lying in Rutherford coun
ty." But for one dissenting vote,
the above resolution was unani
mously adopted
At this writing no action has been
taken on this matter, but as the
Commissioners are in session here
this week, they no fioubt will re
ject the road proposition at present,
as it is thought that they will not
concur with the above resolution,
owing to the excessive estimation
J. Harvsy Carpenter, of the gro-
C3ry firm of W. C. Twitty & Co.. of
this city, formerly manager of the
Western Union Telegraph to., of
Hendersonville, has accepted the
position as manager of the local tel
egraph office at Rutherford.
Among the Forest City visitors to
Rutherfordton on Monday were:
Messrs. J. H. Thomas, cashier of
the Farmers Bank & Trust Co ; R.
K. Hollifield, Dr. T. C. Mcßrayer
and attorney Gudger W. Edwards
Mr. Levi i'homason, formerly chief
of police of Forest City, who has re
cently returned from Canada, was a
business visitor to Rutherfordton
today.
Friends of \ttorney Gudger W.
Edwards, of Forest City, will doubt
less be pleased to learn that his
name has been mentioned here as a
candidate for the office of Recorder
for Rutnerford county.

King-Jones
Charlotte, N. C., Feb. 26.—The beau
tiful home of Mr. and Mrs. Grover C.
King, in Myers park, was the scene
this morning of the very interesting
ceremony that v united the lives of one
of North Carolina's fairest daughters
and one of Kentucky's most stalwart
and chivalrous sons, the contracting
parties being Miss Emma Mae King of
Forest City, and Mr. Morrison Jones of
Princeton, Ky.
As the clock struck the hour of ten
Miss Nell Padgett of Forest City, a
pupil at Limestone College, Gaffney, S.
C., began to sing sweetly and tenderly
that old familiar love song so dear to
the thousands who have heard the self
same words, "I Love YouJTruly," ac
companied on the piano by Miss Alma
King and from the door in the hall step
ped forth little Miss Lilah Gordon King,
niece of the bride, daintily attired in a
frock of pink georgette crepe, carrying
the ring on a lily, taking her place at
the right of the gorgeous bank of palms,
in front of which stood Rev. Dr. T. F.
Marr, pastor of Hawthorne Lane
Methodist church, in waiting to pro
nounce the tender words that would
unite the two young lives for time and
eternity,
From the piano burst forth the melo
dious peals of the march from Lohen
grin and a hushed stillness fell on the
Millinery Opening
Tuesday Night, March 6th
You are cordially invited to be present at our first showing of new
Spring Millinery next Tuesday night
I have just returned from the Northern markets, where I personally
selected a large line of millinery of the very latest styles and believe
it will please the ladies of this community.
We have an up-to date line of Pattern Hats to sell at reduced prices
during the opening

I have 200 styles—the latest from Paris.
Everybody invited.

company as all eyes were turned to
welcome the young couple as they
gracefully stepped out in front of the
minister who pronounced them man and
wife, using the beautiful ring service
of the Methodist church.
During the ceremony Miss Alma
King played softly on the piano "Hearts
and Flowers."
The bride was radiantly beautiful in
her going away suit of blue tricotine
with hat and accessories to match wear
ing a corsage boquet of orchids and
valley lilies.
Mrs. Jones is a native of Forest City
having lived there all her life at the
home of her sister Mrs. T. R. Padgett.
Living in the shadow of the great blue
mountains where the air is as pure as
her soul no wonder that her artist soul
was touched and she has developed in
one of the leading artists of that sec
tion of the state. Many of her paint
ings have been admired by judges of
the art who pronounce them well nigh
perfect. Especial mention should be
made of a water color painting of
Chimney Rock that Mrs. Jones executed
not long since that would do credit to
the old masters. In addition to being
quite an artist she is a young woman of
fine christian character and facinating
manners and the man who has won her
heart has indeed won a prize.
Mr. Jones is a young business man of
Princeton, Ky., and has a host of friends
in his home town. For sometime he
was employed by the C. C. & 0. railway
and while engaged in this work at
Bostic he met the young woman that
today became his wife.
Mr. and Mrs. Jones left immediately
after the ceremony for Atlanta where
they will spend a few days with friends
after which they will continue their
bridal trip to Florida and will be at
home in Princeton after March 15th.
Many are the good wishes that follow
this happy young couple and the only
regret is that North Carolina has been
forced to relinquish one of her sweet
est young women but congratulates the
noble Kentuckian that has taken her
captive to his Blue Grass home.
In addition to the family of Mr. G. C.
King there were present at the cere
mony, Misses Alma King, Pearl Daw
son and Nell Padgett of Forest City,
Augusta Sisk of Shelby, Mrs. Mcßray
er and Mrs. Louis Forney of Shelby,
Mr. T. R. Padgett and Rev. K. L.
Whittington of Forest City, Mrs. H. A.
Wakefield, Mrs. Logan Mcßrayer and
Mr. W. B. Bell of Charlotte.

there would be Sunday school and
church services at the churches Sunday,
which accounts for the unusually small
number in attendance Sunday morning.

week to the bedside of his brother, Mr.
"Jack" Caldwell, of Laurinburg, who
died last Thursday of pneumonia. We
deeply sympathize with Mr. Caldwell
in his bereavement.
