Hurrah For 'Tim. W. Home, Preai ednt North Carolina State Fair And Johnston County. Mr. Editor: I desire to call the attention of the producers of every kind of Johnston County to the fact that one of our county men has been honored with the election as Preakiont of The State Fair; Mr. Charles W. Horre deserves this distinction and ? entitled to the hearty co-operation of every person in our County. He will, by his wise energetic efforts emblason his name among the galaxy of those who have gone before and thus bring renown to us of Johnston County. The purpose of this letter, how ever, is to suggest to all who produce in this County that they put forth extra effort this year for the reason that the country and other countries, are in need of our products and will pay for same, and that we exhibit and otherwise encourage our friends and county man in his capacity as President of the Fair. This is one of the ways we may bring our county to the forefront and convince the world that we have a county that pro duces not only great men but wonder ful agricultural products. Let the boys and girls plant an extra acre and exhibit the result: This will encourage others who have rot been aroused, as we have, along the line of producing our home re quirements: It will also foster and subserve the best spirit of friendly rivalry and community pride. Few men have shown the interest in his home county as Mr. Home and his administration of the affairs of the great Stnte Fair is to bring a new honor to the county and I hope that each of us, realizing this fact, will have a part in holding up his hands and in every way encourag ing him in this undertaking. Respectfully, N. E. EDGERTON. Selma, N. C., April 20, 1918. England'* War Debt.

Father Gave Hint Dreco and "I Can Almost See Him Grow, Now" He Says. As the school term reaches its height, attention is directed to the oft-repeated advice of leading educa tors warning teachers, parents and scholars against the fearful results of exhaustive brain work among young people. To thousands of boys and girls, un nerved by the strain of school life Dreco, the wonderful new herbal medicine, has been found a blessing, making them well and strong, feeding the brain and nerves, and enriching and purifying the blood. The recent recommendation of Dreco by leading authorities and the equally outspoken praise of this greatest of remedies by scores of parents throughout the South are the best recommendations any medicine can have. Nothing in the world so strength ens the weak, as readily restores lost nerve force, so surely makes the ail ing and peevish young woman or growing boy well and cheerful as a treatment by Nature's own benefi cent methods. "My little son, Verney, was in a terrible run-down condition" declares R. I. Lewis, the highly respected far mer of R. F. D. No. 3, Winston Salem. He has always been a puny and delicate child and I couldn't get anything to make him grow. But Dreco has hit the spot and he is im proving wonderfully every day. His color is good, appetite fine, and I can almost see him grow. It has made him as spry as a rabbit and I told him the other day I would have to slow him up as he was getting too alive." Dreco does its curative work in a simple, straightforward way. It wastes little tim? in getting all its energies to work feeding the tired, Worn-out nervous tract, filling the ar teries with rich, new blood, and build ing up the body for its fight against disease. Dreco is sold throughout the country by leading druggists and is particu larly recommended in Smithfield by Creech Drug Co., ? Adv. 0 Try its good tustc today. Let the whole family try it.
