A Well Known Remedy.
One of the ojiiest, safest and most fa-
orably known remedies in the world
to-day is Brandreth's Fills a blood puri
fier ana laxative. Heine purely vegeta
ble they can be used by old r young
with perfect safety and while other reme-
les require increased doses and finally
cease acting altogether, with brandreth's
Tills the same dose always lias the same
effect no matter Iiow long they are taen.
One or two pills taken ach ni-jht for a
while is the best iliing known for any
one troubled wii.li constipation, indiges
tion, ayspepsia or any trouble arising
from an impure state of the blood.
Brandreth's Tills have been in use for
over a century and are sold in every
druj; and medicine store, either plain or
star-coated.
Resolutions ol Respect.
Tbe members of the Women's Home
Missions Society of Rowland M E.
c urch, impelled by a sense of their
great loss in the Lath of Mrs. Bettie
Gibs n Bradley, have adopted the follow
ing resolutions:
Realizing that this peculiarly sad be
reavement falls heaviest on onr beloved
pastor, we extend 'to bim our svinpathy
and pledge him our prayers that he may
find comfort where comfort alone can be
found in the tender love of our Heavenly
Father.
As a Society we wish to express our
appreciation of the work done by our
loved sister. Her readiness to undertake
and her zeal in accomplishing cannot be
too highly prosed. We feel that her
service as an officer in our auxiliary have
greatly forwarded the success of our en
terprises. As co-workers with her in a christian
organization we fee! that we have a right
to speak of her fine christian life, wherein
she was an example worthy for us to
follow and we commend to others that
life and spirit. .
And still in our grief we claim the
right to hold deep in our hearts the sac
red joy of an assurance that her life con
tinues iu that world where death never
comes.
That this expression of our love and
respect be recorded on the minutes of
our society, a copy sent to the family
and one to the Raleigh Christian Advo
cate and Robesonian for publication.

For some time we have been investigating a New Idea In r Fencing.
After a most careful examination we have been convinced that wj have iouud the
best field fence made. Below we give some of the points of advantage which we
claim for it.
It You Are Looking for a Fence
That will Stand Hard Usage;
That will not sag down or curl over on the top;
That has stays that will notfslip; " '
That will conform to uneven ground;
That has no slack wires;
That does not require an expert to erect;
That is Low in Price
Then Read What We Guarantee!
1 The stays are Electrically Welded to stranda, forming a perfect union and an
amalgamation with the strands not found in any other fence.
2 No wr .ps to get loose, or ho'd moisture Sud cause rust
3 No projections to injure stock or tear wool from sheep.
4 Stronger at the joints than any other fence; welded together by electricity.
5 Guaranteed that the wi e is not injured a., the joints.
6 Guaranteed adjustable to uneven ground.
7 Guaranteed that says will not separate irom siranas.
8 Guaranteed all right in every particular.
9 Made by the most modern process and on the latest improved machinery.
-""mo Most of the weak points in other fences ar on account of the way the stays are
fastened. Our stavs are amalgamated with the strands by means of electricity and
the strength of the fence increased ahundred fold over the strength of a fencewhere
the stays are wrapped or clamped on the strands.
If by this time you are interested, come and see our fence and get
in your order.
If 'you are skeptical come and be convinced.
We add oar personal guarantee to everything claimed for it and
would be pleased to submit prices.
Don't f?il to see us before buying your Fencing. Don't
put it off until you are ready to use it, but place your order
in advance, as we cannot cary all sizes in stock.
