SMITHFIELD, N. C. ?
Arrangements have been made with the Young Aeroplane Company of New York City to
have Carl Mather, the World Famous Aviator, here during our Fair. Mather is considered one of
the best High Flyers in the country and his stunts will make everyone sit up and take notice.
Mather will do all the crazy stuff", and is said to be a treat when it comes to thrills that make your
hair stand up. Mather's sensational flying is said to be wonderful. He has made many flying
trips in the big cities and everywhere he has flown he was considered one of the greatest Aviators
ever known. An Exchange, from Atlanta, (la., says that Mather made a thrilling flight over the
city, going at the rate of seventy miles an hour, he drove his machine through the clouds, which
soon developed into a mist and rail* and he was above the clouds by this time, he became lost; and
in trying to get back to the field, found himself several miles away. Undaunted by his experience,
Mather turned his machine and headed for the city again and could be seen coming out of the
clouds in an altogether different direction from where he disappeared. He was wet when he
landed and said that he had had some experience.He was in the air just 35 minutes.
The above ts only a sample of the many daring stunts that Aviator Mather performs. Mather
is described as being a modest young man, and is said to look like a Ncrrth Carolina native. There
are eleven Aviators with the Young Aeroplane Company but Mather is said to be one of the most
clever of the bunch.
He sure and come to THE JOHNSTON COUNTY FAIR and see the loop the loop and Bombs
dropped on Smithfield by the famous Aviator.
Briscoe Model B-4-24
"The Car With The Half -Million Dollar Motor"
You want the oar you buy to look well and to run well. The
new Briscoe B-4-24 does both.
It's the best looking car that you meet on the road. When
designing the Briscoc B-4-24 we never lost sight of the fact that
lirst impressions count for much these days, with the result that
the Briscoc has won the reputation of being "The best looking
l'ght weight car built." Its beauty grips you.
Beneath its handsome body and high hood are a motor, a
transmission and other mechanical units that have been proven
in hard, constant service.
The Half-Million Dollar Motor is famed at home and abroad for
its inexhaustible power, for its speed and quick acceleration and
for its astonishing economy of oil and gasoline.

Getting Old Too Fast
Late in life mc body is likely to
show signs of wear and often the
kidneys weaken first. The back is
lame, bent and achy, and the kidney
action is distressing. This makes
people feel older than they are.
Don't wait for the worst effects of
bad kidneys ? dropsy, gravel, hard
ening of the arteries or Blight's
disease. Use a mild kidney stimu
lant. Try Doan's Kidney Pills.
Thousands of elderly folks recom
mend them.
A Smithfield Case.
Mrs. S. E. Parker. j
Smithfiek), says:
"My hack ached
and pained all the I
time and in the |
morning 1 was so
sore and stiff that
I could hardly dress
myself. The least
cold settled in my
kidneys and made my condition
worse. Sometimes, I felt a sharp
pain when stooping. My kidneys
acted irregularly and I suffered
from headaches and dizzy spells.
Doan's Kidney Pills relieved me of
all symptoms of kidney trouble.
They strengthened my back find
put my kidneys in good shape."
