' How Catarrh is Contracted.
Mothers are sometimes so thought
less as to neglect the colds which
their children contract. The Inflam
mation of the mucus membrane, at
first acute, becomes chronic and the
child has chronic catarrh, a disease
that is seldom cured and that may
prove a life's burden. Many per
sons who have this loathsome dis
ease will remember haying had fre
quent colds at the time it was con
tracted. A little forethought, a bot
tle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
judiciously used, and all this trouble
night have been avoided. Obtaina

(From The Gazette of Dec. 3, '81.)
The town council is fixing to get
into trouble. It is collecting taxes
from property, cotton weighing,
fines and various other sources with
out making any statement or keep
ing proper account. It has elected
one of Us body for a street overseer
who is working principally in cer
tain places, for the enhancement or
certain private property. One-halt
of the main thoroughfare is seldom
worked. It is too bad. Who will en
force the law? It requires two
days, when the overseer works tne
street on the level part, and 37 min
utes to work the rough half of the
town.

(From The Gazette of Dec. 3, 81.)

(From The Gazette of Dec. 3, '81.)
While at Raleigh in attendance on

DO YOU WANT PEACE WITH WILSON
OR WAR WITH HUGHES?
There Is only one chelcs as against peace, and that Is war. Seme
f the supporters of that (the Republican) party, a very great body of
the support of that party, outspokenly dsclars that thsy want wart
so that the esrtsin prospect of the success of the Republican party is
that we shall be drawn In one form or anothor into the smbroilmsnts
ef the" European war, and that to the south of wo tho force of the
United States will be used to produce in Mexico tho kind of law and
order which some American Investors in Mexico consider most to their
advantage
Thsre Is a more serious aspect oven than that. There Is an imme
diate result of this thing, my fellow-citisons. Prom this time until tho
7th of November it Is going to bo practically impossible for the pres
ent Administration te handle any critical matter concerning our for

DON'T BE BALD
Here's a ;xm1 Way to Ktop Loss of
Hair and Htart .ew Hair Growth.
If the hair root is absolutely dead.
permanent baldness will be your lot,
and you might as well cheer up as to
bemoan your fate.
If your hair is falling or thinning
out, don't wait another day but go
to J. H. Kennedy & Co. and get a bot
tie of Parisian Sage, the truly effic
ient hair grower.
"Don t say, "It's the same old sto
ry; I ve heard it before." but try a
bottle at their risk. They guarantee
Parisian toage to grow hair, stop
falling hair, to cure dandruff and
stop scalp Itch, or money back.
Parisian Sage contains just the el
ements needed to properly invigor
ate and nourish the hair roots. It's
a prime favorite with discriminating
ladies because it makes the hair soft,
bright, and appear twice as abund
ant. It Is antiseptic, killing the
odors that are bound to arise from
excretions of the scalp and, as every
one knows, sage is excellent for the
hair and scalp.
, Parisian Sage is inexpensive and
easily obtainable at drug and toilet
counters everywhere. Adv.
