time was when it was a word of
little use, but elert, progressive
citizens who had a high concep
tion of life found it fit exactly
to express a condition vitality
important to this country. The
word Civic League was made to
apply to a band of citizens whose
purpose,and policy was to
beautify and make clean and
healthy. The progressive ele
ment in every community in which
there was life, and a proper
respect for higher ideals, band
ed themselves together and
went to work with a view of
making every spot that was
sickly and unsanitary, whole
some and healthy, by planting
flowers where the briars and
brambles grew, and covering un
sightly patches with fresh green
grass, turning them into ar at
tractive, wholesome and healtny
place. The work of the Civic
League in our towns and cities
has made a great transforma
tion, in so much that was un
sightly and unhealthy, that their
work has come to the world like
a benediction thrice blessed.
The Leader some ^ears past
aided and urged by some of our
best citizens advocated the ne
cessity of a Civic League for
Mebane, in doing so we some
time become so impatient and
petulant at the lethargy and
like of interest shown by our
people that we felt almost dis
couraged, but we labored on,
and there did come a day of
change. Mebane has an exceed
ingly creditable Civic League, its
a League that is enthusiastic,
vitalized by an earnest desire
to make of itself a helpful force
for the health and beauty of
Mebane. It has only to contin
ue its work along lines already
begun and it will prove an
estimable blessing to this com
munity.

It was thought by a number of
profound statesmen at Washing- j
ton a few days past that Bryan |
was monkeying with the dove of
peace too much, in fact was
willing to see the Nations flag
trailed in the dirt in order that
he might avoid doing that which
he feared would injures hi
political chances for the presi
dency, an eventuality in case of
war, Bryan is a iixisfit. He may

Pomeroyton, Ky.—In interesting ad
vices from this place, Mr. A. J. Hughes
writes as follows: “I was down with
stomach trouble for five (5) years, and
would have sick headache so bad, at
times, that I thought surely I would die.
1 tried diiferent treatments, but they
did not seem to do me any good.
I got so bad, I could not eat or sleep,
and all my friends, except one, thought I
would die. He advised me to try
Thedford’s Black-Draught, and quit
taking other medicines. I decided to
take tiis advice, although I did not have
any confidence In it.
1 have now been taking Black-Draught
for three months, and it has cured me—
haven’t had those a\^ful sick headaches
since I began using it.
I am so thankful for what Black-
Draught has done for me.”
Thedford’s Black-Draught has been
found a very valuable medicine for de
rangements of the stomach and liver. It
is composed of pure, vegetable herbs,
contains no dangerous ingredients, and
acts gently, yet surely. It can be freely
used by young and old, and should be
kept in every family chest.

An English seamstress, says the
Manchester Guardian, ■who was help
ing to make some costumes for a
Browning pageant, was asked if she
had ever reaJ nny of the pcct. “Xo,”
she replied, "I've never read any of
that sort of stuff; not Browning, nor
Shakespeare neither. But then, you
know/' she added, “my mother has
her own opinion about Shakenneare.’
Before the Ags of Speed.
Twenty years ago London omni
buses, according to a police statement
at the time, traveled at the rate of six
or seven miles an hour, and thought
they were making speed.
; THE AGE IN WHICH WE
LIVE.
The trend of elightment of the
present age is of a high and
helpful character. Perhaps in
no age has matters that concern
the phisical,!and mentaljdevelop-
ment of the human race been so
seriously considered. What ever
would develop the mind, lift the
thoughts of youth, and manhood
to a higher and more idealistic
plane, has found earnest, help
ful men an women to lend their
lives to give force and emphasis
to its practical development and
teaching, until to-day education
is measured as the great lever to
lift humanity into the sunlit
planes of a higher and holier
purpose.
The physical development of
man is made the study of
our best scientist, and it does
not only relate to the physical
development of man alone to
make his body strong, but it
relates to, and teaches lessons
that concern hygiene, sanitation,
and all the means and methods
to eliminate and destroys the
noxions poisons, contagions, and
sceptic azotic germs. It teaches
men how to live better, healthier,
