C Subscription Price: One Dollar Par Year in Adranee Adrertiiing Rates: Very Reaaonable and made known on request. , Entered as second-class matter Feb raary 25th, 1910, at tne post office at A bosk is, N. C., under the Act of March *. 1879. How astonished some of us would be if we could see our own faults as clearly as we can see the faults of others. It might possi bly work some reformation. J* If the warring nations would 'only make up their minds to be gin the new year by settling their differences in a peaceful way all the world would rejoice. If some people were as eneigetic in showing their constructive abili ty as others are in their destruo ire ability, how much more pleas ant this world would be to live in. We spend on earth but one day at a time, and the total number of days is not large. Then let each day of .Jthe new year be spent in doing something to make this old world better. The sluggard should not spend overmuch time considering the in dustrious ant. Solomon never meant it to be! a steady job, al though some folks seem to think be did. Imitate the ant by your own industry. r* i iKWBkm Some folks can never see any thing to be thankful for. Others can see in almost everything something to be thankful over. They are very like the poor woman who bad but two teeth in her head, but who was thankful they met. It is very clear that the em ployes of the roads favored with an increase of freight rates are not going to profit much by the change. Out of the estimated >50,000,000, the roads will gain each year the employes will get only a trifle more than one per < cent. There is a pressing demand that people live within their means and j not above tbem, as too many do. , If anybody made that a new year . resolve, and doubtless many did, tbem bold to it at all hazards. / Usually it makes ail the difference between happiness and unbappj neas, and between comfort and misery.-, t It Would be e blessing if the ( social conscience were as pro- ( nounced as the private conscience. Unfortunately it is not, by a long t way. Many a business man who revolt at the idea of meeting a t man on the street and demanding his purse has not the slighted / scruple in belonging to some cor poration which habitually cogjxes 1 and robs thousands of innocent ^ and trusting people. So, too, ( society stamps the brand of moral g depravity on the footpad and housebreaker, but it calls the man - a brilliant (inaiicier who so mani- 1 put tea stocks and bonds as to i financially ruin hosts of others, that be may enrich himself. Such C a man is welcomed in the ranks of 8 exclusive society and his smile is eagerly sought. Verily, there is yet a wide gap between the con- -j science that is 'called private and that which is social. E ?. s Deafness Cannot Be Cured C by local application*, a* they cannot ^ roach the dtieaied portion of the ear. t There i* only one way to cure deaf ness, and that ia by constitutional remedies. , Deafness is caused by an inflamed con dition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tuba. When this tube is al inflamed you bar* a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is en tiraly eloaad. Deafness ia the result, and unless the inflammation can be *' taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, bearing will be dis- C troped forever; nine eases out of ten are caused by Catarrsh. which is noth ing hut an inflamed condition of the mwHHiff surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrah) that cannot be cured by _ Hall's Catarrh Care. Send for cireo- m lars. free. Soid by all Druggists, 75c, # ra ? ' d?
