The Charlotte Observer tells a distressing story of a young girl of that county sixteen years old, who at tempted forgery and was caught up with, and may end in trouble for her. Arbuckle of New York offers a premium for a certain number of the company's signatures. .He direc's that a stamp be en dowed for every prornium. The girl, who has respectable parents, recently sent on 41 signatures, and 3 cents ex. pecting three premiums. The company sent thestamps back and informed her that 21 of the signatures were forged. Ihey threaten to prosecute her. Oh how sad that a youug girl should even think of doing such a thing, much less to do it. The latest from the Phillip- ncs in that a strenuous efiort is being made to capture Aguinaldo. Gen. Otis has begun operations against Calumpit where he and his men are located. This will be a decisive action. If they can succeed in capturing him is thought that the war will close soon. It is to be hoped that theciuel and un- ust war will soon come to a lose for the sake of human ity. All people hope that the work at Calumpit will besuc- esslul. The lasti&sue of Church and Home contains an excellent picture of Rev. Father Need am who dieu a fewdaysago. He only lacked a few days of having reached bis 100 year. How beautiful it is for a man to die upon the walls of Zion, to be called like a watchworn and weary traveler to put his armor off and rest in Heaven. TheAsheviile Citizen says hat unfavorable reports ome to us as to the very bad condition of the wheat crop from all parts ot Western N. C. The yield will be small, it is thought, owing to the com bined forces of the wet. last fall and the cold of last win ter. Babies and children need proper food, rarely ever medi cine. Jf they do not thrive on their food something is wrong. They need a little help to get their digestive machinery working properly.
