HIS CALL.
He heard a call from out the
skies,
A call distinct and clear; '
He heard a summons to arise
From slothful dullness here;
He heard a call to rise and show,
The way to nobler things,
To mount in glory from below
On fame's widespreading wings,
And, waking, then, with many a
yawn
And many a drowsy blink,
He heard his wife say : "Get
up, John.
The balvf wants a drink."

A Remarkable Sleep Walker.
'A dispatch from Chattanooga
to the Atlanta Constitution says:
'A fourteen-year-old boy named
Hitxfield, who resides in one of
the suburbs, went, to bed at his
home Sunday night about 8
o'clock not feeling well.
About 9 o'clock he arose from
his bed, put on his clothes, took
an 9le3tric car for the city and
went to, the depot, where he pur
chased a ticket to Rome, Ga.
Reaching Rome he took a. cab
for one of the hotels, where he
retired. All this was done while
"he was sound asleep.' When he
awoke this morning he could
hardly be made to believe that
he was not at home. He return
ed to the city on the first 'train.
He is now suffering from brain
fever.
The doctors here are puzzled
'over the case, and say it is one
of the most remarkable they
liave ever known in their experi
ences. The boy is very exem
plary, -and no one doubts the
story of his experience'
Every year the Treasurer of
-the United States is called upon
to redeem millions of bank notes,
ivhich have become badly worn
to' a Tesult of constant handling.
During the fiscal year recently
-closed Treasurer Roberts gave
new bills in exchange for old to
'the amount of $290,000,000,
breaking the record of the last
. six years. This is an indication
jthat, with the return of pros
- -perity, money is in free circular

Do Not Change Homes in Haste.
We clip" the following good
advicefrom an exchange :
"Don't be hasty about break
ing up your comfortable homes
and going to a new country,
lured by fair promises of easy
money making and great gain.
Every county and every section
of country has its advantages
and its disadvantages. Before
making the change know the
county you expect to. go to and
the 'conditions' 'that will there
confront you, and with wThich
you will have to contend, and
don't fail to carefully estimate
the value of the advantages,
while magnifying the disadvan
tages of the home you are think
ing of leaving. Sometimes it is
the part of wisdom to go slow."
A Sea of Oil.
A Chicago dispatch of the 28 th
says : 4 'One of the most destruc
tive fires that has ever occurred
at the Standard Oil refineries
broke out at Whiting last night.
It was caused by a leak at the
bottom" of one of the stills. A
few minutes after the fire broke
out there was a terrific.explosion,
and the flames spread rapidly to
the two immense tanks contain
ing 2,200 barrels of partially re
fined oil. At the present time
it looks as if the eight remaining
will be consumed. The loss so
far is estimated at $100,000.
Three persons were seriously in
jured. The activity of the War De:
partment is something marvel
ous. Secretary Root has more
than fulfilled the prediction of
his friends. There is no more
timidity shown, but an aggres
sive forward movement which is
encouraging to all friends of the
administration. No one in Wash

which, are how being laid, will
result in a statement of this
Philippine question before the
first of the year. Southport

On account of the time of night
numbers of us can not verify the
statement that there was an
earthquake Friday night about 2
or 3 o'clock. Mr. Truman Chap
man was awakened by a noise
and soon twenty-one brick from
the top of his chimney came roll

Johnson, at some hour'; in the
night, heard a noise and searched
over his house for a burglar but
found nothing. Our informant
stated that some persons at For

The Fill Caved Again.!
Ever since the j big.ain: last
year when a largje fill between
here and Harrisburg beyond Mr.
Kee Morrison's place was washed
partly away, there has been
trouble there. Trestle work was
put in, but for the .last several
weeks the trains as they would
pass this place would decrease
their speed. It will be remem
bered that more, than a week
ago No. 11 was delayed over
two hours by it giving way, and

brought over it that afternoon

A MOTHER TELLS HOW SHE
SAYED DAUGHTERS LIFE.
I am the mother of eight child
ren and have had a great deal of
experience with medicines. Last
summer my little daughter had
the dysentery in its worst form.
We thought sue would die. I
tried everything I could think of.
I saw by an advertisement in our
paper that Chamberlain's colic,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy
was highly recommended 'and
sent and got a bottle at once.; It
proved to be one of the very best
medicines we ever had m the
house. It saved my little daught
er's life. I am anxious for every
mother to know what an excellent
medicipe it is. Had I known it at
first it would have saved me a
great deal of anxietv and my
little daughter much uffering.
Yours truly, Mrs. Geo. F. Bur

The wife of a Wellington, Mo. ,
farmer dropped an earring while
feeding her chickens last week,
and the jewel was quickly gob
bled up by one of the fowls. Un
able to pick out the particular
chicken, she killed them all, one
by one-twenty-seven in number
but failed to recover the ear
ring. ! Then she began to look
around, and found it in the grass
where the old hen had dropped
it. Greensboro Record.
