Baxter, Braidwood, III. Ayer's Hair Vigor is certainly the most eco nomical preparation of its kind on the market. A little of it goes a long way. ; It doesn't take much of it to stop falling of the hair, make the hair grow, and restore color to gray hair. Sl.MaWttte. AlltaffUi.

Multudes are singing the praise of Kodol, the new discovery that is ma king so many sick people well and weak people strong by digesting what they eat, by cleansing and sweetening the. stomach and by transforming their food into the kind of pare, rich, red blood that makes you feel good all over. Mrs. .Cranhll.of Troy, I., T., writes; ' 1 for a number of years was troubled with indigestion and dyspepsia that grew into the worst form. Finally I was induced to try Kodol and after using four bottles I am entirely cur ed. I heartily recommend Kodol to all sufferers from indigestion or dys pepsia. Take a dose after each meal. It digests what you eat. T. J. Coffey and Bio. PROFESSIONAL. EDMUND JONES, LAWYER -LENOIK, N. 0 Will Practice Regularly in the Courts of natauga, 10-25 1 v. J. C. FLETCHER, Attorney At Law, BOONE, N.

Charity and Children. Somebody kindly pent us n py cf The Pilgrim, a rath er attractive magazine ptib- iheil in M'Vhigan, We were especially amused and enter inel in reading an article y one Mr. Lungdon Knight. under the title "The Women of the Mica Country," lb, mica country is supposed to be Hestern North Carolina, and the immediate section re erred to by Mr. Knight, the territory lying between Ma rionand Uakersville in Mo Dowell county. In the first llace Mr. Knight fccts tan gled as to the geogrnpby of the State. He says that the mica country is a comprehen sive term to nesiginne i argenrea of indefinite boon daries situated in tht north ern part of the State of N. (J. He siivs it is a region of lof ty; rugged mountains, of tu- mnltuijua streams, shipping theii waters into whitefoam, ns they descend to the low lands, and it is a wild coiin try where beasts ot prey love to roam and where thriftless men live on the earnings of their wives and childrern, This is the same old story tficy all send back to their papers, though intelligent men know that this very sec tion gave to the world Z diu Ion B. Y-ince, Thos. Cling man and David L Swain. Mr. Knight is a little more amusing than the average tourist.' however, because of his bold ignorance that he does not try to coaceal. He says "the peonle are shorn of ambition, barren of purpose, self-hHtisfied, inciedably igno ran, moribund." Now, isn't that a daintr dish to set be fore a king? Further along Mr. Knight informs a wait ing world of the stupidity of a family whose hospitality he shared. He says the man's name wus Jordan, and he had a wife, two sons and eight daughters, not one of whom could read or write, and "Mr. Jordan and his fani ily were de"idedly superior in point of general intelligence to most of their neighbors." One of the young men, Mr. Langdon Knight admits, knew that there was a gov ernoi of tbe State, but sup posed him to be Gen. Vance who has been dead many years. ( rt'e suppose he has reference to Senatoi Vance, who was never a general.) Mr. Knight goeH on to de scribe the miea indust ry and gives his futile imagination plenty of rope. He explains that the poor benighted wo nen snppoit their husbands by gathering mica, and to make the mattei perfectly NATURAL ANXIETY, Mothers regard aoproaching winter with uneasiness, children takingcou so easily.

Nobody denies tliHt there is plenty of stupid igno ranee in Western North Cnro olina, but so there is in Mich igan. N ither of these see tions of our beloved couniry ought to be branded, howev er, because of these dark placps that are found every where. But we honestly hold no grudge against Mr. Lang don Knight. He ad pears to inld that when a man tells a lie he might as wll tell a whopper. The fact is, Mr. Knight is a daisy. A Good t'ongh Medicine.

The famous Texas teer a- bout which so much has been written in history and which until the quite recent times has figured much in the development of the Great Southwest, is fast becoming extinct. The Tex96 steer and its companion, the cow boy, are both "passing" and will be known soon only in fic tion anil history. The "long horns" are vanishing before the onward movement of the blooded stock of the North and east.

It was late in the evening of Dec. the 16th, 1902, that Bluford ,oncs, who lives on the shady side of Da'rkRidge on trie hena waters oi no where, sent Mary, his wile, to the barn to feed the horse. She soon returned from the barn altering the most pier- ring screams, uii ! l nere s a bear in the hay ! A bear 1 Bluforo turned round and round, taking down theionn HfK the faithful old fnini'y weapon which had. so many times beri called into s e r vice in cases of emergency, ex claiming: "John, bring forth your little shot-gun. The time is coming nnd now is, vhen we must make our stives heroes. Frank, rally up, go down after Luta's breech J loader that 'he just brought in from the Fork run, tell Joe to come quick and bring his axe !" All being ready, they march ed down to the barn. Sure enouiih, the big pileolhay on the barn floor was moving up and down, this way nnd that. "Land of Goshen, it's a bear! Joe, you stand wfth the axe." while Bluford yells loudly: "Speak I I mean what I say, speak!.' Nothing spoke. Bang, nnng, two gun shots rang out on the evening air, and all was over. "Who will go in and open the hay?" q lerried Bluford 'Not me, no sir, Lot me Joe, you go. My brave Joe. let thy name go down to pos teritv as a hero." uYes, I'll go," So he parted the hay while the eager, as tonished crowd looked on. "Yes, sure as fate, here he is, a big red bear. Drag him out what a wonder that any of uh escaped." All at once a wai! goes n- from the crowd. "It's Char ley's heifer. Poor fellow, just married and his chances for a cow so soon blighted." "All righi," said Bluford. '1 will piye him the fi n e s t calf on the place, or if that won't do, I'll give him cow." "Observer." Dark Ridge, Dec. 20. A. J.

Venezuela beeornes an oh ject of popular interest, and people are wanting lo know what of it. We find in a Icon temporary that in 1894 it hud a population of 2,244, 816, of whom 44,000 were foreigners. The pure Indian population wa.- 326,000 and the ba'ance of mixed blood. About o per cent, of the mix tuie is of Spanish origin and 65 percent ol Indian and n gro blood Ii is a country of mountains a n d mountain astnesses, and Caracas, the capital, a city of 72,429 peo ple is 3.000 feet above sea evel, tho:mh the se.t is only twelve miles si way. rhe point has been made by some one that the topographical for mation is like that of South Africa and that the Venezue lans can muster as larye n fighting force as the Boers.
