Then it's time to act! No time
to study, to read, to experi
ment! You want to save your
hair, and save it quickly, too!
So make up your mind this
very minute that If your hair
ever comes'out you will use
Ayer's HaTr Vigor. It tnakes
the scalp healthy. The hair
stays in. It cannot do any
thing else. It's nature's way.

Noting that several counties in
the State will ask for special leg
islation permitting them to tax
dogs, the Lenoir News wants
Caldwell county to join the list.
A tax of one dollar a head on
male dogs and two dollars" on fe
male dogs it says, would yield a
snug sum for the school fund.
Such a tax is all right, thinks the
Clarkton Express, but. does not
go far enought-Our Clarkton con
YIj temporary wants bachelors tax-2-
fed also. Its courage, in the opin
ion of The Observer, is beynnd
all praise. Not only would it al
ienate the dog vote, by far the
largest in the State, but the by
no means inconsiderable bache
lor vote also. We admire its
nerve but reject it as a counsel
or. Charlotte Observer.

A Miraculous Cure.
The following statement by H
M. Adams and wife. Henrietta,
Penn.. will interest parents and
others. "A miraculous rure has ta
ken place in our home. 0i child
had eczema 5 VtarH, and whs pro
nonnced incurable, when we read
about Electric Bitters and conclude
ed to trv it. Before the second hot
tie was all taken we noticed achang
for . the better, and after taking 7
bottles he was completely cured."
It's the up to diite blood medicine
and body building tome. Uuaran
teed, 50c. and tl at all druggists.
Just then a horseman in civil
ian's dress, greatly excited, dash
ed up, and reining up his horse in
the stream rose in his Btimips
and began an impassioned ap
peal to the men, begging them
not to give up the fight; assuring
them that they were not whipped ;
that the enemy Was in retreat,
and that if they would not act
like cowards and cravens victory
was assured.
The horseman, having arrived
upon the field and hearing of the
reverses of the morning, but not
of the subsequent success of his
side, had dashed forward, and
seeing this throng of apparant
stragglers, was seeking to rgjly
them and induce them to return
to battle. Neither Doctor Mc
Guire nor General Jackson had
ever seen him before, and they
lad no idea who he was,
Upon hearing his outburst,
ackson literally l!ung aside the
bandages Dr. McGuire was plac
ing on his hand, and with more
excitement than he was ever
known to have shown before he
advanced quickly toward the
horseman, saying:
"WThatisall this fuss about?
These men are not. cowards,
These men are not deserts. These
men are not stragglers. They are
my men, and mostly wounded.
We are not hard pressed. We
lave whipped the Yankees and
the righting is over. Who are
you sir?" -
"I am President Davis sir. Who
are you?"
"I am General Jackson, sir,"
said Jackson, now realizing the
situation and saluting.
Then he calmly returned to
have his wound dressed, and Mr.
Davis departed for some other
part of the field. Youth's Com
panion.

There is comfort iu the knowledge so ;

fulfills every wish in curing rheumatism,
pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder
and every part of the urinary passage.
It corrects inability to hold water
and scalding pain in pnwing it, or bad

beer, and overcome that unpleasant ne
cessity of being compelled to go oftea
during the day, and to. get up many
times during the night. The mild and
the extraordinary effect of Swsrap-Root
is soon realized. It stands the highest
for its wonderful cure of the ot dis
