A Batch of Live Items Culled From the Papers of the Adjoining Counties. Hickory Democrat, ith. A unique situation presented itself to the County Board of Education at their meeting in Newton last Monday when a pe tition from the colored citizens of Catawba District No. 1 was presented asking for a special tax upon themselves for the ex tension of their school term. The members of the board were all favorable to the petition, but upon investion it was found that the law would not allow such action in as much as the petition ers were not considered voters under the general election law of the State. For several days there has baen on exhibition at Whitener & Mar tin's a machine for automatically selling coca-cola and soda water.

There is space for ice and a device for drawing off the water when it becomes too warm. The case is finished in golden oak and with the nickel plated i rimmings presents a very handsome appearance. A modi fication of the same machine has sixteen larger spaces in which apples, oranges, bananas, pea nur?, cfr?, -candy, or in fact, alsi anything lbeplaced.

Success Magazine, What is success? To gain a share of gold To have one's wealth in envious accents told? To see one's picture flaunted in the press? Ah, there be those who label this succc ss. What is success? To win a little fame? To hear fickle world applaud your name To be counted a genius? Yes. And there bz those who label this success. Bat have you not anothtr stan dard still To judge a man of character ar.d will? Are gold and fame the only measure to be tried In all this world is there no test beside? Ah yes, the man who meats, with courage grim, The daily vnHes that devolve cn him. The petty, mean heart-breaking cares that tire The patient soul that never may aspire, Howe'er so cramped the fie'd wherein he works, He has not failed the man who never shirks, The man who toils for years without a break And treads the path of pain for other's sake. There are a myriad of such men to-day, Who, all unnoted, walk the dolorous way Upon their shoulders still the cross may press, Bat who will say they have not won success? - NURSING MOTHERS ' particularly need the pre. digested nourishment in SCOTT'S EMULSION.

There are unhappy married lives, but a large peicentae of these unhanpy homes are due to the illness of the wife, mother cr daughter. The feelings of nervousness, the befogged mind, the ill-temper, the pale end wrinkied face, hollow and circled eyes, result most often from those disorders peculiar t women. For the woman to be happy and good-looking she must natural;- have i'c:d health. Dragging-down feelings, hysteria, hot-flashes or constantly rcturr.ini pums and aches are too great a drain upon a woman's vitality and strength. Uc.
