FOR BOTH
One disease of thinness in
children is scrofula; in rnlults,
consumption. Both have poor
blood; both need more fat.
These diseases thrive on lean
ness. Fat is the best means of
overcoming them; cod liver oil
makes the best and healthiest
fat and
SCOTT'S
EMULSION
is the easiest and most effective
« form of cod liver oil. Here's a
natural orler of things that
shows why Scott's Emulsion is
of so much value in all cases of
scrofula and consumption. More
fat, more weight, more nourish
ment, that's why.

jTHE GRAND DEBATE
AT OAK GROVE.
Mr. Editor :
Will yon allow mo a small space
in your valuable sheet to say a few
words concerning the debate
at Oak Grove, May sth, 1900. On
acount of a lengthy program the
debate was ruled out till a very
late hour Saturday night. The
, Society met in regular order by
calling the house to order with the
| grandest of music and did pro-
I ceed to business. Tho grand ques
tion was most ably argued by the
best talented gentlemen of the
community. The question was as
follows: Resolved That Woman
Suffage be Allowed. The noble
speakers of the affirmative were
W. W. Edwards, Reid Johnson,
L. W. Ferguson, D. F. Tillotson,
On Negative G. W. Smith, W. S.
Smith, J. C. Tillotson, J. A.
Boyles. Both sides were well rep
resented. and able speeches were
i delivered by all. The gentlemen
| of Society drew 12 judges to weigh
and give decision according to
proof set forth. There were an
: intelligent audience, house being
packed full with the refined ladies
which their presence wore appreci
| ated by all. Both, speakers and
I judges, after the subject being
most ably argued and serving re
freshments the judges with Sheriff
took the question for weighing
evidence and to decide according
| ly, which they did in the ablest
| manner, returning with the decis
j ion, 9in favor of Negative, 3 in
favor of Affirmative. It was very
hard and difficult to decide, but
close observation did decide as
above stated. Even the refined
ladies decided accordingly. It has
| been said by the best man of the
! community that the debate above
named was the best the country
could afford for they had some
oratorial speeches.
The school closed at Oak Grove
but the debating society still
stands at the zenith and the elo
quent speakers now make every
debate a public one.

I : The Bank Examiner and Vice-Presi
dent Byerly Visit the Bank Of
Stokes County—Pres. J. H. Prather
and Family Coming.
0 State Bank Examiner Haywood
and Mr. W. J. Byerly, Cashier of
the Bank of Mt. Airy and Vioe-
President of Bank of Stokes
County, were here last week and
this examining the Danbury and
Walnut Cove banks. Everything
was found to balance up
properly and the books of
the two banks in excellent con
dition. So careful of the interests
of the depositors are the laws of
North Carolina, that every bank
! must submit sworn reports of its
accounts to the State Corporation
I Commission five times a year,
while the bank examiner makes
' I personal visits once or twico a
year and checks up every trans
action.
The Bank Examiner expressed
himself us pleased with the con-
dition of the two Stokes banks,
) while Vice-President Byerly was
j more than encouraged at the
steady growth of the two institu
r tions and the loyalty of our peo-
pie in patronizing them.
President Jesse H. Prather is
1 expected down in a few days. Mr.
Prather and family will sojourn
' two months in a cottage at Pied-
P mont Springs this summer, and a
large portion of the time will be
spent at the Danbury bank, where
ho hopes to meet and see more of
our people, and renew many ac
quaintances and friendships of
years ago. Mr. Prather was for
t several years a resident of Dan-
bury.
