expenses of district and subtract
from the funds due their district
and then they will see what is left
to teach out. If there is money
enough to run your school more
than four months, just teach four

to the credit of your district to
pay expenses.
Ground Hog Day.
Tuesday, Feb. 2, was Ground
Hog Day—the day on which agree
ably to a popular superstition
the grouud hog comes out of his
winter duarters to see about the
weather. According to the fable,
if the animal sees his shadow when
he emerges, he scurries back and
stays for six weeks, during which
the weather will be extremely
rough. But if he does not see his
shadow, he remains above ground,
and it is a sure sign that winter is
over.
Mr. Lum Booth, who is quite
well versed in groundhogology,
says that the little weather swine
didn't come out last Thursday, as
he bad a trap in its hole and it
oould not have couie out without
being caught.
The philosophy of the ground
hog superstition is that if Feb. 2
be fair, the following six weeks
will be foul; or if this day he
cloudy, the next six weeks will be
fair.

A WELL KNOWN REMEDY.
One of the oldest, safest and
most favorably known remedies in
the world to-day is Brandreth's
Pills—a blood purifier and lax
ative. Being purely vegetable they
can be used by old or young with
perfect safety and while other
remedies require increased doses
and finally cease acting altogether,
with Brandreth's Pills the same
dose always has the same effeot no
matter how long they are taken
One or two pills taken each night
for a while is the best thing known
for any one troubled with con
stipation, indigestion, dispepsia or
any trouble arising from an im
pure state of the blood.
Brandreth's Pills have been in
use for over a century and are sold
in every drug and medicine store,
either plain or sugar-coated.
When you want good goods at
the right price, see Jacob Fulton
at Walnut Cove. Never ha 9 and
never will be undersold. Flour
and chop are now lower. Ask
Harry Davis or J. H. Fulton for
prices before you buy, it may pay
you. Our spring line of dry goods
