Every Live Community Needs
Live Newspaper.
The average local town paper is
worth* thoasands of dollars annual
ly to its community for the free
service it renders. As a constant
booster and promoter of local news
or information it is indispensable
Did you ever stop to think what
yo%would do without your home
paper? This is not an idle ques
tion. What would you do if your
town paper should indefinitely sas
pend publication?
Having no newspapefr would
mean a return to the old Roman
method of posting information on
public bulletin boards. A call for
teachers’ examination would neces
sitate posting notices at dozens of
places in the county at greater ex
pense than the charge in the local
papers. Farmer Smith could not
announce a sale to all his neigh
bors except by laborious methods
more costly than newspaper space.
Marriage and death notices most
certainly would not fitly adorn
public bulletin boards. Those who
are int;erested in farm or town im
provements would make progress
but tediously without newspaper
support.
No; we just have to have our
town newspaper. We want to
know what other folks in the coun
ty are doing. The most interest
ing information in the .world is
knowledge of what other people
are doing. Let’s help our com
munity by helping our local editor
in his work. We cannot dispense
with his service. On the other
hand, he needs more of our moral
and material support.—Geo. A.

Washington Dispatch to Greens
boro News:
In a circular sent out from But
ler, Pa., under date of November
10 and addressed to the delegates
to the national Republican conven
tion of 1916, Progressive Republi
cans notify prospective delegates
to the convention in 1920 that
“Theodore Roosevelt is to be tho
next nominee of the party, unless
the Republicans desire another
term for the Democratic nominee.”
Circulars have been freely cir-
cujated in North Carolina. In fact,
it is said, nearly every delegate to
both the Republican and Progres
sive convention at Chicago last
June has been furnished a copy of
the circular and been urged to give
his views now and prepare for the
biggest political battle ever pulled
off for 1920.

ENGINEER VADEN
TAKEN FROM CAB
Raleigh Man Describes His Suf
ferings and Tell of Final
Rescue.
C. F. Vaden, Engineer on the
Seaboard Railroad and living at
614 West North street, Raleigh,
said: “I suffered terribly from
attacks of acute indigestion and,
on one occasion had to be lifted
from my cab. For over 10 years
I suffered. I could not eat meats,
vegetables or solid foods and bad
to live on grits and^raw eggs.
Nothing I tried helped me, until I
got Tanlac.
“I have taken 4 bottles of Tan-
lac and eat anything I care to now,
even cabbage, and don’t have to
suffer. My sleep is refreshing too,
I am not a bit nervous and feel
fine in every way. I already have
gained 7 oounds in weight. But
that is not all. My 13-year-old
daughter Hazel, has been com
pletely cured of indigestion by
Tanlac and has gained 10 pounds
in weight and is full of health and
spirits. I am pleased to have this
opportunity of recommending Tan
lac,” he ended happily.
Tanlac is sold in Marion only by
