Oakdale Dots* Crowded out last week. ■ Now that Christmas &ome and gone with all its joya aaidi sorrows, we again try to give ai few items of interest. i The road situation seeros m\ grow worse as the days go by. One of our correspondents gives us a faint idea as to what could be done on the road from Mr. W. D. Adams to Mr. N. A. Kimes, but did not say what a deplorable condition it was in now. If there has been any work done in 2 years on this road we do not know of it, Unlesss something is done soon it will be impossible to travel on it. We would like to see the County Superintendent of Roads, Mr. Thompson over this way, We would like to know what has be come of him. He has been in office 3 years or more and if he has ever spent one solid day in Patterson Township looking over the roads seeing their needs and providing suitable men to super vise said roads, we have ne ver heard of it. The ajbove named road has no superviser as we can learn of. We had hoped when Mr. Stroud was elected County Commissioner we would get a lit tle more attention, but I reckon they have got him hipnotised. Owing to so much rain during the holidays there was not much visiting. Mr. W. b. Spoon and family of Burlington visited Mr. Spooti’s father and spent a day or so hunting. Misses Fannie Spoon and Mag- ^e Robertson of Graham spent a few days as their usual custom is with the former’s sister, Mrs. F. L. Spoon. Mr. Tom Spoon spent the holi days with his father, S. L. Spoon. He is in school in Baltimore tak ing a dentistry course. Mr. Wm. Fogleman who has been the miller at the Ward mill for many years has taken charge of Snow Camp Woolen Mill, and Mr. Frank Briston, one of our best neighbors, has taken his place at the mill. We had the pleasure of reading a good piece in the Dispatch a few weeks ago about the Coun ty Fairs, what benefit it couici be if rightly managed. We think from what we can learn if Ala mance County Fair is not man aged better it will soon be a fail ure. Prom what we can learn the premiums for 1910 have ouiy partly been paid and for 1911 none have been paid. Now the I point at issue is, it -.is poor en- ^couragement to the farmers and their wives and children to work hard to try to make the fair something and then be paid off in promises. When they went to the tole gate to go in the man ager did not take promises, but the money must come, or you stay out. UONS A YEAR Washington, Jan. 3.—Presi- ■deiiit Taft, in the econpmy mesr sage he will s€^nd to Congress; probably this week, will recom mend reforms that will save from $25,000,000 tp $50,000,000 a year. The report of the Economy and Efficiency Commission will be transmitted with the message. More than a week ago Mr. Taft received the preliminary re port of the commission. Since that time he has been in consul tation with individual members of the board, and has drafted his- recommendations to Congress based upon the findings of the body. By following the report of the Economy Commission the admin istration hopes to outeconomize the Democratic majority in the House. The majority of this body is pledged to economy, in spite of the $75,000,000 pension bill justpassec. and expects to make a record for money-saving before the session end^. The administration is just as anxious to impress the country with its disposition to stop unless expen diture, and will depend upon the Economy Commission's report for its policy. EARTH’S SURFACE IS Cleveland, 0. Jan. 5—.The earth’s surface has been tilting to the north since 10 A. M Christmas Day. Father Odenbach, a leanxed seismogolist and astronomer, re ports that the tilting is being re corded and measured by the d^f icate instruments in St. Ignataas' observatory. The tilting so far has been 1-16 of an inch in 1,(X)0 I'eet. The tilting affects a floe, or giant triangle, with a line from Newbury port, Mass., throa/arh Elmira, N. Y., and Cincinr/ati for its base and its apex in Can ada. Father Odenbach can assign no cause for this disturbaiice. He considers that the recent earthquake in the Middle West was only an Incident of it. Handsome Gift to Educational Insti- thtion. A bequest of property said to be worth $30,000 became known in Greensboro Tuesday when a deed to probate was offered in the office of the clerk of the Su perior court. The gii't is the transferring of a track of land containing 640 acres in Kansas to the endowment fund of Sylvan Academy, in Alamance county, and is made by Isaac Hammer. It is given in honor of Mrs. Ham mond, who started a school at Snow Camp, where the academy is now located. Mr, Hammer is very much in terested in educational work and it is understood that recently he made a gift valued at $36,000 to the Kansas university. The gift of this valuable land will be of much value and use to the school to which it is presented and will enable the making of improve-^ ments in the institution which have been very much , desired by the school authorities in charge. As trustees of the gift Mr. Hammer has named the follow ing well known gentleman of Guilford county: J. S. Cox, of Greensboro; Nathan Stuart, Mrs Lydia Allen Stuart, W. P. Stout, June Hornaday and Henry Horn- aday, of Alamance. During the life of Mr. Hammer he will re ceive the prodeeds from the prop erty and pay the taxes. The condition attending the gifts is that a new building be erected by the academy in the time of 18 months from the the date of the gift. Mr. Hammer’s wife was Miss Jane Allen, and Mrs. Stuart, who is named as one of the trustees, is her only surviving sister.

Stuart, Burlington, N. C. Phone 329-J. Terrible Picture oi Safferimg / Clinton, Ky.—Mrs. M, C. Me Elroy, in a letter from Clinton, writes': “ For six years, I was a -sufferer from female troubles. I could not eat, and could not stand on my feet, without suffering great pain. I had lost hope. After using Uardui a week, I began to improve. Now I feel better tlian in six years.” Fifty years of success in actual practice, is positive proof, furnished by those who have used it, that Cardui can always be relied on for re lieving female weakness and disease.

C , or Knoxville or Nashville, Teon, You may wonder why Cardui is so succossfal, after other remedies have failed. The answer is that Cardui is successful, because it is composed of scientific ingredients, that act curatively on the womanly system. It is a medicine for women, and for women only. It builds, strengthens, and restores weak and ailing women, to health and happiness. H you suffer like Mrs. Fincher did, take Cardui. It will surely do for you, what it did for her. At ^1 druggists.
