Superstition is fast giving away before the light of civilization. The writer remembers when a noted conjure doctor lived and nourished in this county. Peo ple came fifty and seventy-five miles to see him. He made a for tune in this way. A person hav ing decided he was "tricked" or, "conjured" or had a "spell put! an hiin," the next thing was a trip to see the conjure doctor. He was expected to take this "spell" off and In most cases it s\ as to be put back on the per- j son who started it. I 'sing love powders is another idea that prevailed and does to j some extent yet. If a girl was [ infatuated or led astray by some worthless fellow, or if a girl was married to some fellow far below her station she was excused by herself, or her parents or her! friends, and some times by all of them on the ground that the fel low used love powders. Below we give a letter received by one of our druggists which: shows that this idea still pre-1 trails: June 10th, 1901. Dear sir: "I will write you a few lines to let you know that I want some of your love powder us I am rn alright boy you may trust me I will be under the bond yes I'm ilright. send it in Saturday to . [f not why not I'm alright. I want a 25c package of love :>owder I will send you the money ?ight straight as soon as I re ceive the stuff. Send directions vith it. jours truly, TURLINGTON INSTITUTE BOYS Win Honors at the State Universi ty, Wake Forest College, Trinity, College, and Davidson college.

The new Ilolt Hardware and I Buggy Co. of our town are firm I believers in up-to-date newspaper j advertising. Each week since the organization of the company about two months ago they have called attention to their business in the columns of Tin: 11 erald in such a vigorous way that their | advertisements are attracting a good deal of attention. Mr. Thos. II. Crocker, the General | Manager of the new concern, in forms us that their trade is in- j creasing every day and that at good deal of this increase he can I trace directly to the advertising which they are doing in The Her ald combined with the fact that they are very careful not to ad vertise to do anything which they do not do or in other words, if they advertise low prices, they give low prices. Their ad in this week's issue is a good example of up-to-date advertising. Try a peach, strawberry, ban ana or pine apple sherbet as cold as ice, 5c at Snipes' Foun tain, Selma, N. C.
