R. tomorrow afternoon at Mrs. H. L. Adams’ in Dilworth. Mrs. Laura M. Brown, who wields a graceful pen and whom the chapter is very proud of having as member, makes a delightful contri bution to the cause today, in the fol lowing: Three punchers went loping oft into the West, Into the West as the sun went • down; Each thought of the plzen he loved the best, Awaiting him there in the board- shack town. For punchers will certainly hit the cup When out on the range they have been penned up Where the long-horned steers are bawlin’. Three ponies were tied to the hitchin’ rack In front ' of the Lonely Dog sa loon. While three men fingered a greasy pack, And started a game soon after noon. For punchers will gamble their hard- earned dough When they’ve been corraled for a month or s-o Where the long-horned steers are bawlin’. Three corpses were lugged to the bone- yard there In the early gray of the mornln’ light; They weren’t playing their poker fair, “It is possibly not known general ly that the Charlotte Chapter of the D. A. R’b is called In honor of the battle of Charlotte which was fought In our streets. The British army entered Charlotte on the 26th of September, 1780, and the desper ate bravery of the two young he roes, Joseph Graham and George Locke, in holding the enemy at bay when attacked by such overwhelming numbers, was almost unequalled by any fight in America. Lord Corn wallis’ surprise at this hot recep tion made him term the town ‘a hornet’s nest.’ Fifty-six men, all volunteers, were organized Into a company of cavalry. Graham was ap pointed captain, though not 21 years of age, and Locke, who sadly lost his life, was chosen lieutenant. It is the wish of the chapter to place a monument. If not more than a granite boulder, at the termination of one of our principal streets to commemorate this historic event. We earnestly hope all the chapters and many others will show their patriot ism by attending the silver tea to be given Thui*sday afternoon, 21st September, at the beautiful home of Mrs. H. L. Adams in Dilworth, and contribute towards this noble object. “Our town may truly be called the home of liberty. Bancroft, the his torian, testifies: ‘The first public voice in American for dissolving all connection with Great Britain came not from the Puritans of New England, or the Dutch of New York, or the planters ofVirginia, but from the Scotch Irish, Presbyterians of Mecklenburg coun ty, North Carolina.’ “The North Carolina instrument of freedom was written by a graduate of the Presbyterian College of Princeton. Nine of its twenty-seven signers were Presbyterian elders, and one a minister of the Gospel, so who would not honor and _ re- [ spect the deed of this earnest brave ’band of true blue men,’ who were (evidently looking Heavenward for ! strength to carry out their bold re- 'solves ?” «FoofrFltter»»» ^ 800 Pairs Young Ladies and Big Misses Shoes — ^utton and Biucii- •r — Gun IMetai — Patent Colt and VIcl. $2.15 the pair These are the Best Shoes ftvsr Sold in Charlotte at This iPrlee.

To sat’.sfy the insatiable craving of the novelty seeker for something new, is a difficult task but the tra'le seems to have accomplished it satisfactorily. It is true that something new is often only something old revived, but that does not exclude it from the category of novelties. As a matter of fact there is quite a demand for old-fashioned materials, colors and contours. There i& for example the poke, and then the new close-fitting turbans with the monumental crowns back to the forties, although in those days headsizes were not as large as they are now. Plain felts are again in vogue and velours promise to be near the top of the best sellers. It is astonishing how many velour hats one sees even under the hot August sun and worn with the most summer gowns. They are devoid of trimming, having a silk cord only around the base of the crown, and are not only in white or black, but in vlyld colors, euch as purple and blue. The writer has also seen several vel vet hat* of the students’ cap variety being worn, to say nothing of taffeta hats and the more seasonable summer felts. One hears the same report of Paris, so that It may be said that winter hats in August are the latest fad, only these hats are not trimmed and* are suggestive of the outing hat and sombrero In general effect.—The Millinery Trade Review.

I' had dreadful back ache and dizziness, and suffered from pains in my eyes and in the back of my head, as well as low down in my body. Sometimes, It seemed like I would die with the pain. I was compelled to see the doctor, but he did not help me. At last, I began to take Cardul, and three bottles gave me great relief. My health Is getting better every day. I can recommend Cardul to suffering women, for It helped me wonderfully It is a wonderful medicine.’ ’ Other women, who suffer as Mrs Schilowsky did, should leam from her what to do, to be relieved.
