General Punston with a brigade
of five thousand troops at'Vera
Ch'iizwasthe chief military de
velopment of the day.
Chief interest centered in the
meetill<^ of the envoys at the
Ai'gentina legation. The meet
ings were seci'et and no an
nouncements were made of the
results of the deliberations,
which largel.v are in the nature
of general survey and confer
ences with the best informed
menof both sides to develop an
avenue of aL)i>roat-!i toward a
satisfactory middle ground.
President AVilson held a meet
ing of his cabinet. The Colorado
situation, however, was the chief
topic discussed, although the
Mexican question contiiiueu in
progress. Car(“ W'as taken to
nuike no announcement embar
rassing to the efforts of the South
American diplonuits. It is undei’-
stiood that neither side has sub
mitted formal conditions and that
neithei' luts been asked (;oncern-
' ing concessions.
The repoi-t at the European
diplomatic quarters was that a
provisional commission form of
governmenl should be planned
for Mexico. This was not con
firmed bj' those familiar with the
conferences, who announced that
such reports were wholly s])ecu-
lative at the present stage of the
negotiations or might be calcu
lated to embarrass their .efforts.
Another report said that the en
voys might visit Mexico City and
talk with Huerta.

DEATHS
MRS. HOLCOMB
Mrs. Cloe Elizabeth Holcomb,
wife of the late D. M. Holcomb,
of Hoonville, route, died last Fri
day evening, April 24th, after an
illness lasting two weeks. Heart
trouble claimed hei' as a victim.
She was 71 years of age.
Mrs. Holcomb’s maiden name
was Gross, daughter of Mr.
Moses Gross. She was married
53 years ago to D. M. Holcomb,
and to this union were born 8
children, seven of whom survive:
.J. M. Holcomb, of Jonesville; C.
E. Holcomb, of Elkin; Sant, A. C.
and I). Holcomb, of Boonville;
Mrs. Dollie McCall, of Oskaloosa,
Iowa. Dr. P. M. Holcomb died
about8'^ears ago.
M rs. Holcomb had been a mem
ber of the Baptist church for 50
years or more, and was a good,
kind hearted, Christian woman,
and loved by the entire commun
ity, and by a host of jjeople
throughout the surrounding
country, and will be sadly missed
in the home and community.
The funeral services were con
ducted from Swaim’s church
Sunday by Rev. J. N. Binkley,
pastor of the church, after which
the I’emai-ns were laid to rest in
the Swaim’s church cemetery,
in the presence of a host of sor
rowing friends and relatives.
The bereaved have the tender-
est sympathy of the Tribune.
MRS. CARLTON
At the ripe old age of more
than one hundred years, Mrs.
Elizabeth Carlton, of near Mar-
ler, died Mopclay, and was buried
at Swaim’s church Tuesday.
She was, perhaps, Yadkin coun
ty’s oldest woman. The direct
cause of her death was not learn
ed, but it is presumed that her
advanced age and general disa
bility linked together to claim
her to her reward above. She
was a good woman, and much be
loved,
at Coasmaloapan.
Vera Cruz, April 28.—A num
ber of refugees from the State
of Aguis Calientes were forced
to pay two iiundred fifty thous

port here today.
Washington. April 28.—Amer
ican civil government under mar
tial law was set up at Vera Cruz

SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION POST
PONED.
The Thirty-first Annual State
Convention of the North Carolina
Sunday School Association which
was to have been held in Winston-
Salem, May 5-7, has been post
poned until September, theexact
date to be announced later.
For a number of years the
Executive Committe has had
under consideration tlie advis
ability of changing the Conven
tion from the spring until the
fall since all the township and
county conventions are being
held during the spring and
summer months. It seems best
to make the change this .year on
account of several conflicts, and
near conflicts, with other meet
ings in the other parts of the
state, together with several other
interi'uptions.
Be sure to read every word
in the Tribune’s big page of
premiums. Then get your
paper and start working, and
win your share of premiums.

At i.hp -:—34
years, Mr. Wileyttjyons, of H'arp,
Wilkes ijoun-ty, died April 21'st,
and was bui'ied Wednc'sday fol
lowing. Paralysis and old age
is assigned as the cause of his
death. The funeral services
were held at the church, by Rev.
G. M. lUircluun. in the pres
ence of a lai'ge circle of friends
and relatives, the remains were
interred in the family burying
ground, to await the resurrec
tion.
He .joined the church 25 years
ago, and since has' lived a most
honorable and upright life, and
his straight walk has been the
guide for many. Mr. Lyons was
a good and kind hearted man,
and in his death the home loses
a devoted husband, the church a
loyal member, and the communi
ty one of its most honored citi
zens. The kindest sympathy of
our people is with the bereaved
in this sad hour.

selected for their experience and
ability, we^'e paid heavy fees to
study and. test the formula of
Dodson’s (Liver Tone and all
agreed that it was a fine and
rehable remedy for family use.
Dodson’s LiVer Tone takes the
place of calomel. This is exactly
what it is made for and has been
made for ever since the first bot
tle was put up and sold.
There are imitations of Dod
son’s Liver Tone for which ex
travagant claims are made, but
the public knows how to .iudge
between loud boasts and the
plain truth. And then the merits
of Dodson’s Liver Tone are too
widely known for anyone to hesi
tate.
Dodson's Liver Tone is sold
and guaranteed by Surry Di-ug
•Co., who will "efund purchase
price (oOc.) instantly and with a
smile if you are in any way dis
satisfied with the remedy.
Dodson’s Liver Tone is a palat
able vegetable-liquid and its
action is easy and natural, with
no gripe, no pain and no bad
after-effects. After-effects are
often disagreeable after taking
calomel. Dodson’s Liver Tone
does not interfere in any way
with your regular duties, habits
and diet, and it builds and
strengthens you so that you feel
brighter, better and happier. If
you feel headachy and constipat
ed you will be delighted with
Dodson’s Liver Tone.
