"Inventions that will make
work in the kitchen lighter, and
will provide a laundry for the
wife of the farmer would be
great boon to the home happi
ness and wealth of the bouse
holds of the rural districts.
Everybody should be interested
in it. The comforts of home
life in the country are too mea
gre. Town life has had the
good fortune to reap more than
its share of the discoveries of
the later years. When it shall
have come to pass that less of
the deprivations and drudgery
incident to living in the country
as contrasted with living in
towns has been provided much
of the abnormal flow of popula
tion to the towns will cease. The
State is suffering greatly by the
transplanting of so large a num
ber of its best people from rural
to urban homes. It often hap
pens that the most intelligent
and virtuous and useful citizen
or citizens of a community in the
country sell out or rent out
their farms to run the risk of
better things in untried town
life. Let the country have daily
mails at the doors of the people,
telephones in their homes, laun
dries and other things at hand."
Rural free delivery of mails is
an important step in the direc
tion of the attainment of the
general object sought by Mr.
Law. The other things will
come with dense population.
Country life in England, for ex
ample, is made an ideal one by
the possession of water, gas aud
sewerage conveniences in large
sections of that populous coun
try. Nevertheless there is room
for improvement in respect to
the facilities for kitchen aud
laundry work in the country of
our own land, to which inventors
might well turn their attention

A. Historic Old Bill.
A $50 currency bill, issued by
the State in 1778, is now in the
possession of Adjutant General
Royster, and whether its intrin

rr t.htt.r. sum
Gen, Uoyster acsidently dis
covered the bill a few days since
in going over the papers of an
lssUfid bv the State to meet ex
penses incurred in fighting the
British army.
Though crude in form and
printing the idea of currency of
the present time differs little in
some respects. The old bill i6
about the width of those Uncle
Sam circulates today, but is
hardly half the sine in length.
On one side are the words "Death
to counterfeiters"-with the figure
$50 in large letters - and the an
nouncement, "Printed by A. J.
Davis." The reverse side reads,
"this bill entitles the bearer to
receive $50 Spanish milled dol
lars or the value thereof in gold
or silver, agreeable to act of
General Assembly, Hillsborough,
N C, 8th day of August, 1778."
The signatures attached are those
of John Carr and Wm. Sharp.

BATTLES OF THE CIVIL WAR.
They Were on Scale of Surpassing
Magnitude some Impressive Figures.
The campaign and battles of
the civil war were on a scale of
surpassing magnitude. There
were more than a score of single
battles, sometimes extending
over several days, in each of
which the losses in killed and
wounded on the Federal side
were greater than the aggregate
of all our losses in all our other
wars combined. How palty
seem the D.UOU miied and wounded
in tne war oi lolz, or the war
in Mexico, or the war with Spain.
compared witn the li.wu at
Shiloh, 15.000 at Chicahominy,
ld.uuo at Antietam, the same at
Fredericksburg, 16,000 at Chan-
cellorsville, 23,000 at Gettys
burg, 16,000 at Chicamauga, 37,
000 in the Wilderness, and 26,
000 at Spottsylvania. The
grand aggregate of destruction
fairly staggers the imagination,
accustomed as we have been for
more thau a generation to the
figures; 93,000 killed by bullets,
186,000 killed by disease, 25,00o
dead from other causes a grand
total of 804,000 about one in nine
of every man who wore the uni
form.
In no other war in all time has
such respect been paid to the
dead. Immediately after its
close the Secretary of War was
directed by Congress ''to secure
suitable burial places and to
have these grounds enclosed, so
that the resting-places of the
honored dead may be kept sa
cred forever." In seventy-nine
separate and distinct national
cemeteries the bodies of nearly
800,000 soldiers who died dur
ing the civil war are interred,
and the decoration of their
graves with flowers on a fixed
day has become a national cus
tom. Some of the cemeteries
contain each a silent army of
10,000 soldiers, in serried rank
marked by the white headstones,
on nearly half of which is in
scribed "unknown." Tha world
may search in vain for any
thing similar or kindred ; there
is no other such impressive
sight.

What Is Wealth.
Does wealth consist in money,
houses, lands, bank stocks, rail
road bonds, etc., alone?
We think not. The young man
starting in, lire witn no money
but good digestion, good sleep,
good health and ability to work
in some profitable employment,
has what the aged capitalist
would be glad to exchange all
his millions for.
What compensation is money
for sleepless nights and painful
days, or the misconduct of dissi
pated children ?
Which brings the greater hap
pinessthe glitter, show, jeal
ousies and falsity of fashionable
life, or the heartfelt friendships
which prevail so largely in the
homes of the industrious poor ?
In how many of the palaces of
our millionaires will you find
greater happiness in the parlor
than in the kitchen ?
How many millionaires will
tell you that they f.ro happier
now than when starting in life
without a dollar ?
On the tops of mountains we
find rock, and ice, and snow. It
is down in the valleys that we
find the vineyards.
Let no man envy those richer
than himself until taking all
things into account age, health,
wife, children, friends he is
sure he would be willing to ex
change. Geo. T Angell.

"I have taken Kodol Dyspep
sia Cure and have never used

found it to give the best results."
If the food you eat remains un
digested in your stomach it de
cays there and poisons the sys
tem. You can prevent this by
dieting but that means starva
tion. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure di
gests what you eat. You need
suffer from neither dyspepsia
nor starvation. The worst cases
quickly cured. Never fails.
