TUTTLE.
Tuttle, Feb. 29.
Mr. Editor :
Please allow me a little space
for which I want to heartily thank
you for the past favors you have
extended towards us. I want to
say a few words in regard to your
paper, which is so much enjoyed.
It contains the most interesting
"items" of any paper I know of.
Some of the letters are so consol
ing to one's feelings especially
those that condemn all the evil
of the surrounding neighborhood.
Will say to S. S. Teacher and "B."
that their letters are Biich inspir
ing ones they put the people to
their studies and truly I think it
is high time. We certainly do en* j
joy reading their good advice.
Hop* they will continue with their
letters.
We are sorry to state that Mr.
J. W. Taylor was takeu very sud
denly on last Saturday with pneu
monia.
Mr. James M. Tilley is much
better, we are glad to know.
The little son of Thos. Warren
is very low with pneumonia.
We had another little snow on
la»t Friday. Wonder if Mr. J. W.
R. went rabbit hunting again ? If
so, I hope he didn't fall down this
time.
Mr. A. T. Rothrock, of Walnut
Cove, visited his father, Mr. J. M.
Rothrock. on last Sunday, Guess
he saw Miss G.
Miss Gertrude Wall, who has
Ijeen visiting at this place, return
ed home Sunday. "Farewell Miss
G. we miss you very much."
Miss A. looked very sad last
Sunday. Guess on account of her
best fellow not coming. Ha!
"Why, its leap year."
The sohc*>l of this place will be
out on Thursday March 3rd.
Guess Mr. Bondurant won't be
very sorry as the weather is so
rough.
It certainly is a pity that Mr.
"Rex," of King, and J., of Walnut
Cove, have got up such an argu
ment about which town contains
the most pretty girls. Now, boys
I would not get too mad aljout
that. Guess both towns are satis
fied.
And in reply to the "Grandson"
of last week's issue he stated what
for a woman to learn, so as to
make a good true wife. It's true
all his rules should be observed,
but I don't think it would hurt
the man to help in so doing. I
do wonder if he ever thought what
kind of a mail is required to
make a woman a true husband.
"SCAT."
For Governor and Representative.
Mr. Editor :
I notice a number of the papers
of the State making various re
commendations of various men for
governor and representatives by
both parties. The names recom
mended by Democrats are all good
men, and I would not try to de
tract from anyone of them any
merit they deserve, but I have
always noticed that men have a
right of preference, and ought to
be able to give a reason for such
preference. I will say in the first
place that it is noticeable, that
when any northern State gets a
good man in congress they keep
him, sometimes for 10. 20 or even
30 pears, and I think they are
right in so doing.
Now, I would make the asser
tion, that we have a representa
tive from the sth congressional
district, one of the ablest, men in
the State, viz W. W. Kitchin, he
has proved himself to be faithful,
able and efficient, you know where
to find him. and is ever at his post
of duty. With him in oongress, and
that hightoned, intelligent and
Christian gentlemam and states
man, Robert B. Glenn in the
governor's chair, we could claim
to have cause to 1« proud of the
st,h district, and of our grand old
State. Then let the people of old
Stokes put 011 the war paint, roll
up their sleeves and roll up a big
majority next fall for W. W, Kit
chin and R. B. Glenn.

LOOMIS.
Loomis, March 1.
Mr. Editor :
As there is a general tiring along
the line I thought i would let otf
a pop gun from Loomis on the
Dan. Now. lam not going to try
to compete with these rapid fire
guns that have been carrying 011
such a war for some time, with
chain shot and broad axes, for fear
I might get mv pop gun spiked,
I will not discuss the dance and
other pastimes, but as we live in
a great country where you can say
what you please unless you please
to say something bad. So we have
free syeech, the freedom of the
press, and a right to serve God
under your own vine and fig tree,
and according to the dictates of
your own conscience.
Well, we are having more snow
this morning, hope it will be the
means of increasing our share of
biscuit later 011.
The farmers in this part of the
plantation are rather late burning
plant beds. Wonder if the A. T.
Co., has sent them word to hold
up ? They could do that as well
as the other.
Mr. Editor, don't you think that
we are in rather a bad predicament
when the majority of the people
in this great big country of ours
are led by the nose as we are, by
just a handfull of money lords ?
Well the Bible says blessed are
the pure in heart for they shall
inherit the earth. But I have
never found the American Tobac
co Company. J. D. Rockefeller or
J. P. Morgan's name in all my
limited acquaintance with the
good book, but you know some
times things are understood, so it
might have meant them.
Mr. Editor, I reckon you have
forgotten our old quondam friend
old Pros. Well he, ground hog
like, has gone in his hole, but not
for the same reason T don't think,
because he would not make a
shadow just at present.
Well if our powder does not get
wet you may hear from us again.
Yours truly,
SAM SLICK.
The Board of Education Charged With
Favoritism.
Pink. Feb. 29.
Mr. Editor :
I notice in your issue of the
25th inst that J. F. C., of Smith,
wishes to know what i.s the matter
with our public schools. Now if
you will allow me space in your
valuable paper I will tell J. F. C.
some things that are the matter.
The Board of Educati 11 for our
county seem to have favorites or
special friends to which they give
th® School funds. I was with the
Board the first Monday in No
vember. 1903, and I found out
what they were doing with some
of it. They would pay more for
work than was necessary, which
fact I know because there was a
certain house let to build and they
rejected the lower bid and awar
ded the contract to the highest
bidder. 1 heard one member of
the Board say that he was highly
in favor of education, but T think
he acted contrary to his words
when he refused to get the work
done as cheap as he could, but
instead gave away the money.

20th, at Elder P. O. Oliver's.
We don't think the people in
some sections of the county will
complain any more at not having
longer schools as they have made
such a wonderful improvement
that they have two terms a year
instead of one as heretofore.
Still there are some who don't
have any. Why is this the case?
j Missej. Minnie Westmoreland

about it Mr. T?

brown eyed girl in our school hae
taken the apple of your eye com
pletely away from you. Just take
it as your share and misfortune in
not possessing the charms she has.

son, Mr. G. A. Hutcherson, who is
critically ill at that place.
One of our young ladies is

Come down again Davie.
The widow of Mr. Billy Berry

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE
CURED.
By local applications, as they
cannot reach the diseased portion
of the ear. There is only one way
to cure deafness, and that is by
constitutional remedies. Deafness
is caused by an intlamed condition
of the mucous lining of the Eus
tachian Tube. When this tube
is inflamed you have a aumhling
sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deaf
ness is the result, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal
coudition, hearing will be destroy
ed forever : nine cases out of ten
are caused bv Catarrh, which is
nothing but an inflamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Handred Dol
lars for any case of Deafness
(cause by catarrh) that, cunnot be
cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Rend
