SBVED mi LIFE" ?That's what a prominent druggist said of Scott's Emulsion a short time ago. As a rule we don't use or refer to testimonials | in addressing the public, but the above remark and I similar expressions are made so often in connec tion with Scott's Emulsion that they are worthy of i occasional note. From infancy to old age Scott's Emulsion offers a reliable means of remedying im proper and weak develop ment, restoring lost flesh and vitality, and repairing waste. The action of Scott's Emulsion is no more of a secret than the composition of the Emul sion itself. What it does it does through nourish ment?the kind of nourish ment that cannot be ob tained in ordinary food. No system is too weak or delicate to retain Scott's Emulsion and gather good from it.

Gilbert near Deusou and blown its icy breath on their sweet baby girl, Vesta May, and bore her gentle little spirit to the heavenly mansions there to live forever with the blest. She was born Sept. 23, 1904, ard died Jan. 4, 190(5. How sadly she is missed cannot be expressed. Our tender care, our sighs, our pray ers, our tears were of no avail. Good needed our little star, and so took her away. "She is sleeping, sweetly sleeping In her new made grave today: We are weeping, sadly weeping. For our darling gone away. One by one the gentle Shepherd Gathers lambs from every told. Folds them to his loving bosom With a tenderness untold. One by one our Heavenly Father Gathers tiowers rieh and rare. And transplants them in his garden. They will bloom forever there." "Auntie" HAS STOOD THE TEST FOR 25 YEARS The old, original GROVE'S Tasteless Chill Tonic. You know what you are taking.

Johnson, as hostand hostess of the occasion, stood in the hall at their home, and re ceived a large number of guests, who were invited the Fruit Sup per given iu honor of Mr. Mordi ca Barefoot and Miss Meta Wil liams. After the arrival of the guests they joyously entertained them-1 selves by playing interesting games, until ten o'clock, when all were invited to repair! to the dining room. On enter-! ing the dining room the most interesting feature of the even ing met their gaze?the supper table, which was artistically laden with cakes and fruits. The guests dispersed at about eleven thirty o'clock. It was an nounced by the critics of the oc casion to be the "grandest party" of the season. The soothing and comforting effects of Do Witt's Witch Hazel Halve, when applied to I'iles sores, cuts, bolls, etc., subdues pain almost instantly.

Osgood. Our Meeting Last Saturday. The meeting of teachers last Saturday was quite a success, despite the bad weather, so far as the work of the meeting was concerned. It was not a success as to number of teachers. We ought to have had at least one hundred and twenty present. There were only thirty six who attended the meeting. Miss Banks of the Graded School here gave her method of teaching phonics and illustrated the different steps by teaching a class of children. The method of teaching a read ing class outlined in How to Teach Beading was illustrated with a second reader class. A paper was read on the Life aud Character oi Z. B. Vauce bv Mr. J. M. Turner. Prof. R. A. .Merritt taught a lesson in North Carolina History and those present who consider ed this subject a dry one were convinced that our history may be made interesting. He took the battle of King's Mountain for his lesson. He had a neat man of North Carolina drawn on the board aud showed the posi tion of the opposing forces at the different stages of the battle. After this we heard Prof. T. H. Liudsey of the Clayton School recite a thrilling story?an inci dent of the Civil War. He con vinced all present that he is an elocutionist of much skill. The subject of seat work was next discussed. It was develop ed that quite a number of the teachers give their small pupils something to do while the older pupils are reciting. Here I wish to urge every teacher of the public schools of the County to give the first, sec ond, and third grade pupils some interesting and beneficial work to do while the other grades are reciting. Much if not all the disorder in school comes from pupils who are idle and generally idle be cause there is uothiug provided for them to do. Teachers, take your Way Marks for Teachers and study carefully again the chapter on Seat Work, (jet the spirit of this chapter into your minds, then put all of it that is neces sary into practice in your schools. This will help you to control and keep you from whipping so much?or punishing in any way. As a rule children do not mean to violate your rules by whisper ing, laughing, and playing. They have gone over their lessons and not finding anything else pro vided for them to do or suggest ed for them to do, they whisper and play. You and I would do the same, I fear, if we were shut up in a school house and forced to sit on the benches for six hours each day with nothing to do about half of that time. Why, we would be whispering to each other, may be pinching each oth er, or creating disorder in some way. We could hardly help it. How can we expect children who are unemployed to keep order in school? "(lot all the good I can. Fi%ni all the sources I ran, In all the ways I can, By all the moans I can, A ml as laug as I can."
