THE LAD IN PALMETTO HAT. Two Newspaper Men Come Up on an Interesting Boy on the Sidewalk, ; Yesterday as two newspaper men strolled down " street " a small boy, wearing a large palmetto hat, a pair of short pants and a striped body, sat flat upon the sidewalk in front of a large department store - munching a biscuit a nice, fat soda biscuit viewing the sights. The youngster, a lad of nine or ten years. was an ln nocent on-looker In Vienna. He had come to t"wn with his mother, who was busy ' hopping, an d; finding the talk of calico, spring hats and jBUCh like uninteresting,, he went out to see what passed and to eat his lunch. Men came and' men went, but they attracted not this "rural child, whose everyday friends are the cows, the calves, th chickens and the ducks of the farm, for he was looking' for street ' cars,: automobiles and big wagons drawn by big horses. Th strolling, rambling reporters tarried to look at the boy and pass the time of day with : him, but a big auto came around the corner about that time and the lad's eys were too busy to see. ordinary mortals ; - they were following the representatlvev of the gasolene aristocracy,, In the city that lad was meek and timid, but at home, ln the barnyard or by the roadside, he would shy a' rock at the biggest man In Christendom and dare him to chase him. - , ' . nickory Grove News.' - A very interesting meeting has Just closed at Hickory Grove church. Rev. M. H. Hoyle, of Matthews, assisted the pastor, Rev. 'J. 'H. Bradly and did very fine preaching. Large congrega tions attended the services day and night. ' Mrs. J. Riley Davidson Is spending some time with her daughter, Mrs. Zach Taylor. Mrs. Marcus Mauney and, little daughter, Margflaret, of Cherryvllle, are visiting Mrs. Mauneys brother, Mr. Edgar Baker. - Mr. Graham- Taylor has lost his fomlly horse. Mr. P. Q. Roberts Is quite ill at his home near, Hickory Grove. Mr, Rob erts Is an old veteran. Mr. Graham Taylor's family horse died this week. He was a pet of the family and had been for years.

' y , Many "of those who at this season of the year experience a feeling of lassitude attribute it to the fact that It Is Spring, whereas the season itself Is by no means the cause of the sen sation. This, more often than not, say physicians, Is due to the fact tnat the human system reaches a point in the Spring season when a thorough "cleaning up" is needed. The machinery of the body needs going over once in a while, Just as does that of a factory. Neglected, the ; bodily functions become de ranged, and one of the most common manifestations of this Is constipation. This, especially in Its chronic form, means that certain muscles of the body are not in condition to do their work properly, having become weak and Inelastic. To overcome thl con dition is to cure constipation not simply give relief to the sufferer and for this purpone medical men of experience are using with great suc cess a combination of 1-2 oz. Fluid Extract of Senna, 1-2 oz. Rochello Salts, 1 oz. Aro-Sagrada, 30 grains Bi-Carbonate of Soda, 1-2 oz. water and 1 l-l ozs. Glycerine. Of this a teaspoonful is administered at bed time and before each meal, and this Is continued until there is free move ment of the bowels.
