"Heart Throbs."
Of the books which have ap
peared recently, perhaps none
appeals more to the hearts of
people than "Heart Throbs,"
edited by Joe Mitchell Chappie,
editor of the "National Maga
zine."
This unique book is a collect
ion of short poems, stories, an
ecdotes, and essays, selected from
a vast number of contributions,
every one of which appealed in
some special way to the con
tributor. In 'this book are found
selections that appeal to all tem
peraments and to every section
of-our country. Nearly every one
thinks of some sad or sweet ex
perience when he reads those
favorite hymns of all time?
"Rock of Ages," "Lead Kindly
Light," "Home, Sweet Home,"
or "Nearer My God to Thee."
The heart of every Confederate
soldier throbs when he reads
"The Brave at Home," or "Lit
tle Giffen of Tennessee." What
person does not enjoy reading
and re-reading poems like "The
Psalm of Life," "Resignation,"
and "Thanatopsis?" Besides
such selections as have been
mentioned, the book is full of
touching home scenes, war in
cidents, and jovial jokes. Every
one would enjoy reading it. It
is full of wholesome good cheer,
humor, comfort and hope.
The people of Harnett County
are expecting to have a great
day at Lillingtou on August 22.
The Dan McDougal Camp of Con
federate V eterans will have a re
union on that day. Hon. W. W.
Kitcbin and Gen. Julian s!
( arr are expected to deliver ad
dresses.
Excellent Health Advice.
Mrs. M. M. Davison, of No. 379
Gilford Ave . San Jose, Cal , says:
"The worth of Electric Bitters
as a general family remedy, for
headache, biliousness and torpor
of the liver and bowels is so pro
nounced that 1 am prompted to
say a word in its favor, for tbe
benefit of those seeking relief
from such afflictions. There is
more health for the digestive
organs in a bottle of Electric
Bitters than in any other rem
edy I know of." Sold under

THINGS TO EAT IN SUMMER.
Meats Should Be Shunned or but Spar
* Ingly Partaken Of.
I bene are the days when meats
should be eaten iu dniutv bite?
uut great chunks or slabs, or
roasts, or friee, or boils?but
little suggestions of the great
meat world, without floundering
about iu it.
Possibly a suggestion of such
daiLty bits might not be amisi.
Get some boiled ham from your
grocer?a nickel's worth to a per
son?broil it inperately, and eat.
1 here is a summer meat meal
or if you don't object to a box
ol ear jiues?get a good one, gar
nish with a little lemon, aud this
with a few slices of ripe tomato
and a baked potato rivals the
dinner the kaiser will Ket to
night.
In these days, when a zeyphr
is a joy and a butterfly is a land
scape, one duesn't-need to sit
down to a loaded table?with
meats, aud puddings, aDd soups,
and salads-why, it is enough to
make the blue skies look mad.
In the wintertime, when the
winds are bowling and the icicles
are haugiug from the eaves, a
man wants magnitude in his eat
ing, but when the June solistice
has pasted, he sighs for the
grace of it.
Even an egg or a lamb c hop
seems too warm these days, a 1
one naturally looks arouno 1 r
the cottage cheese, i u, even ex
pects there is euoug i .neat i i a
doughnut to auswei k;i ^ractic u
purposes. The old-fat-moned i.ie
seems too heavy for tnese dim,
of crystal sunshine, but if the ti -
ing were appropriate to the
short form, it would not seen ??.
1 hen, there is that Pi.,
"ican combination or rice ami
beans?the latter red, boileii
with a mere slip of pork. '1 !.ee
are served sepai ately on t. e
table, but there mixed in the
plate of the eater. No P^rto
lucau meal of any consequence
is served wittiout this combi
nation. There is more strength
in 10 pounds of this mixture
tiau there is n 10 pouuds of
sirloin roast; and it is a torrid
food that makes a fellow plump
and glorious. Not so dainty as
some things we mentioned, but
fulli < f v,t;or and good conscience.
vVeuie speaking only of sum
mer meals, aud the borderland
thereof, not of the fruits, the
melons, the berries, the corn, the
squashes?these are a beautiful
world all to themselves. Ohio
