MADRY S. L. MADRY, Cashier. OYSTER PLANTING IN EASTERN CAROLINA^ (By C. S. Powell.) Oriental, the gem of the lower Neuso and queen of Pumlico Sound, is the interning grounds for Johnston County. Charles Powell, Jr., Prince Albert Holland, Robert Hill, Beverly and James Whitley bodaciously kid napped this old skate last week and landed him at Capt. L. B. Midyott's, who with his good wife, are the ven erable and distinguished land marks of the tftwn. A seven-hours run over greatly improved roads, save Boon Hill and Pamlico, landed us in the "promised land" of fin" sccnery, good water, pleasant breezes and eon genial citizenship, as well as the 1 abundant easily obtained long list of sea food. Fish, oysters, elams, shrimp, erabs, and seollops abound .The oyster and clams arc setters. The otl ers are migrators The scollop, it may be in teresting to know, is a shell fish about | the size of a silver dollar. They go in , schools and propel themselves by op- , cning and closing their shells all in ^ unison and in the same direction. They | are said to have a leader, like a , queen bee. Oyster gardens, or plots , of water in the sounds are surveyed | and sold to people by the State, deeds , being given as in land transactions. WhereVcr an oyster bed or rock is al- j ready established, it is free for the , public, and the State does not claim. , It is only the mud bottoms that are ( sold, and these are planted by dis tributing oyster shells with young . spaun on them over the bottom and in j two or three years are ready for use. , It is a writable smoke or meat house | for many people, and this groat in- , dustry is but faintly understood and ( appreciated. The hospitality and j geniality of this people is proverbial , and needs no commendation. Every one from the crab catching children, ( sedate business men and women to ( the beautiful pink checkers that form a living picture show in the post of fice lobby at mail hours, vie with each other for the strangers pleasure. It is true that the streets are a little weedy, but they are good for weak eyes and more comely thnn sand. The , yards are gems of flower plots and the back yards are fig nurseries of the choicest quality. The hotels are fine and when you settle they leave you a liberal portion of your "long green." The fishing is varied and sporty. A boat laden with 2700 pounds of fish from the sound was interest ing, this is of daily occurrence, only many more some days. Uncle Lon and Will Midyett gave us a trip on Bron cho house boat, to Dawson's Creek. Three big fish chowders and a night's frolic on board with Robert Hill as door keeper to welcome the mosqui toes was greatly enjoyed. We had a violin along, and the singing led by Prince Albert Holland, was enjoyed. Even the Ellen Yard, Big Dipper," Seven Stars, big and little Ursus, with miriads of lesser twinklers look on in silent approval, while the swamp' owl and distant watch dogs bow wowed the encores. A little back-stepping and broadshuffling also came in. Fish Commissioner H. L. Gibbs took us through the Adams Creek Canal to Morehead and g? ve us a most pleasant outing. His boat service was of high grade. Boiled mnckercl for breakfast, clam chowder for dinner and toast and mullet for supper, with all necessary trimmings, was greatly enjoyed by these old "poor Joes.' The Government l>oat Gretchen took us and the ride alone was just fine. A violin and Princc Albert brand of singing was wafted over the smooth waters and echoed by the farm yard coasters. While at Morehead we visited the hanks and took u plunge in the surf. We passed the pavilion where they rent doubtful hath suits and up the beach seven hundred yards, and with suits like Adam and Eve paraded in, "went in." The bath suit proprietor realizing he had slipped a notch, sent a messenger and then followed, and "craned" us out, and reshuck our selves, said we loomed up like the Colossus of Rhodes, the Sphinx and ( heops of Egypt. We apologized, shook the briny crystal off, reshucked and "departed those coasts." I went to the pavilion and offered to apologize to the ladies but he said it was unnec essary, and left him calm and serene at his sweetened wind stand and sit ting at the receipt of bath suit cus tom. We visited Beaufort and the wireless station, fish hatchery and terrapin farm. We voted CV.pt. Gibbs and crew a vote of thanks and next day "hit uin" for home. Smithficld, N. C., Aug. 18, 1J?17. DO IT BEFORE WINTER. Paint up your house, repair the leaks in the roof, put the eaves troughs in proper condition, and make any other repairs necessary. It is your castle, the place where your happiest moments are spent and a winter of pleasure will be assured if you attend to these things now. Your ivife wants you to do it, whether she tells you so or not. Clean out your well and see that it is in sanitary condition. The health of your family should be your first con sideration. And then, too, it saves loctors' bills. Hrhaps you need a walk or two around the house, or leading to the Front gate, or to the barn, or else where. Build it. Women should not >e compelled to spend five or ten min utes scraping mud otf of their feet ?very time they step out of doors, for it is an uncomfortable job in cold winter months. Inspect your fences and mr.kc nec essary repairs. It is more pleasant to do it now than to freeze your fingers in the dead of winter. You know it from experience. Don't forget your stock. If there are any holes in the sides of your barn, repair them, too. A shivering animal does not think much of its owner, ar.d neither do most people. Get your neighbors together and look over the public school. The young people do not understand so well the necessity for proper ventilation and other sanitary measures. Rut they like comfort and plenty of fresh air. You did yourself, not so long ago. Get busy on the roads. They need it, and you need the results of bet ter ones. Just how would you like to be a horse, and strain every muscle in an endeavor to pull n load through a lot of sticky mud the long weari some road to town and hack? Wouldn't like it, would you? Neither does the horse. Make up your mind to go to church occasion;. lly this winter. Make up your mind now and live up to the make. It won't hurt the church and it will do you a world of good. Do a lot of other things now that when winter comes you will wish you had done in the summer months. Don't leave anything until tomor row, for tomorrow you mayjje dead and then you will not get the credit of doinj things that others leave un done. If you can't stay on this earth for ever, at least leave a record for some thing behind you* Mary wears a little shoe Tliat rrnkes the fool men stare; It ought to, for the blame tilings cost $9.98 pt pair. ?

Doctor Says Nuxated Iron Will Increase Strength of Delicate People 100 ?/0 in Ten Days tn many Instances ? Persons have suf fered untold agony for years doctoring1 for nervous weakness, stomach, liver or kidney disease or some other ailment when their real trouble was lack of iron Ln the blod. ? How to tell. New York, N. Y. ? In a recent dis burse Dr. K. Sauer. a Boston physician who has studied widely both in this sountry and in great European medical Institutions, said "If you w*re to make in actual blood tf?st on all people who ire ill you would probably be greatly istonished at the exceedingly large number who lack iron and who are ill for no other reason than the lack of Iron. The moment iron is supplied all their multitude of dangerous symptoms Jisappear. Without iron the blood at Dnce loses the power to change food Into living tissue, and therefore noth ing you eat does you any good; you ion't get the strength out of it. Your food merely passes through your sys tem like corn through a mill with the rollers so wide apart that the mill can't grind. As a result of this continuous blood and nerve starvation, people be come generally weakened, nervous and all run down and frequently develop all sorts of conditions. One is too thin; another is burdened with unhealthy fat; some are so weak they can hardly walk; some think they have dyspepsia, kidney or liver trouble; some can't sleep at night, others are sleepy and tlrea all day; some fussy and irritable; some skinny and bloodless, but all lack physical power and endurance. In such cases, it is worse than foolishness to take stimulating r# dicines or narcotic drugs, which only whip up your fagging vital powers for the moment, maybe at the expense of your life later on. No matter what any one tells you, if you ore not strong and well you owe It to fourself to make the following test: See HOOD BROS., Smithfield, N. C. ( how long you can work or how far you can walk without becoming tired. Next take two five-grain tablets of ordinary Nuxated Iron three times per day after meals for two weeks. Then test your strength again and see for yourself how much you have gained. I have seen dozens of nervous, run-down people who were ailing all the time double, and even triple, their strength and endur ance and entirely get rid of their symp toms of dyspepsia, liver and other trou bles in from ten to fourteen days' time simply by taking iron in the proper form, and this, after they had in some cases been doctoring for months with out obtaining any benefit. You can talk as you please about all the wonders wrought by new remedies, but when you come down to hard facts there is nothing like good old iron to put color in your cheeks and good sound, healthy flesh on your bones. It is also a great nerve and stomach strengthener and the best blood builder in the world. The only trouble was that the old forms of inorganic iron, like tincture of iron, iron acetate, etc., often ruined people's teeth, upset their stomachs and were not assimilated, and for these reasons they frequently did more harm than good. But with the discovery of the newer forms of organic iron all this has been overcome. Nuxated Iron, for ex ample, is pleasant to take, does not In jure the teeth and is almost Immedi ately beneficial. NOTE ? The ?iaiifacturers of Nuxated Iron have such unbounded confidence in its latency that they authorize the announcement that they will forfeit J 100. 00 to any Charitable Institution if they cannot take any man or woman under aixty who larks iron and Increase their strength 100 per cent, or over In four weeks' time, provided they have no serious organic trouble. Also they will refund your money in any cane in which N'uiated Iron doee njt at leaat double your strength In ten days' time. It is dispensed in this elty by all good druggist*. :REECH DRUG CO., Smithficld, N. C.
