BILL NYE DAY.
An Interesting Program Pre
pared For Its Celebration in
Public Schools-State Super
intendent Joyner Asks Co
operation of Superintendents
aud Teachers.
Following is the official letter
of Hon. J. Y. Joyner, State
Superintendent of Public In
struction, designating February
Z2d as Bill Nye Day in the public
schools of North Carolina:
To the County Superintendents and the
Public School Teachers:
The public press of North
Carolina has always responded
generously and unselfishly to
every call of the public schools
for service, and no agency has
been more potent in promoting
the development of these schools
and the progress of education in
the State. The county superin
tendents and the public school
teachers now have an opportunity
to express their appreciation of
this service, and to render at the
same time a valuable service to a
most worthy cause by co-operating
heartily with the "Bill Nye
Memorial Committee" in their
commendable effort to taise funds
lor the erection ot a central or
main building at the "Stonewall
Jackson Manual Training
School, to be known as the
"Bill Nye Memorial Building,
The committee has prepared
an interesting program for the
celebration of Bill Nye Day in
the public schools. An hour
devoted to honoring the memory
of such a man, who loved all
children and all men, who devot
ed his splendid talents to making
them happier and better through
his writings, will be properly
and profitably spent.
1 earnestly request and urge
the county superintendent of
each countv to distribute these
programs to the public school
teachers of the county, accom
panied by a letter to each teach
er, directing the setting apart of
an hour in the school for this
celebration, and urging the
hearty co operation of the teach
er for the success of the celebra
tion. The noble work of the Stone
wall Jackson Training School for
giving wayward boys of the State
a chance to have a chance to be
trained into good citizens should
appeal strongly to the hearts cf
the children of the public schools,
who but for the mercy of God
might be like these wayward
boys. It is a privilege, there
fore, for these children to have
an opportunity to make a con
tribution to such a work. It will
do them good. I earnestly urge,
therefore, that county superin
tendents and teachers lend their
hearty co operation in securing
at least a penny contribution
from every child in the public
schools for the erection of the
Bill Nye Memorial Building for
increasing the facilities at the
State's school for training way
ward boys.
I designate Wednesday, the
22nd day of February, for this
celebration.. I suggest that the
teacher devote an hour on this
day to reading to the pupils this
booklet and to arousing an en
thusiastic interest in Bill Nye
and his work and in the work of
the Stonewall Jackson Training
School, concluding the exercises
with an earnest appeal for a con
tribution of at least one penny
from every child to be brought
next morning.
All contributions should be
Torwarded by the teacher or the
principal of the school to Mr. R.
W. Vincent, Secretary of Bill
Nye Memorial committee, Char
lotte, N. C, and they will be ac
knowledged in the columns of the
Charlotte Observer.

Fertilizing Grain in the Spring.
We have also found most ex
cellent results from fertililizing
wheat and other grains during
the month of March, in prefer
ence to applying the fertilizer at
the time wheat is seeded in the
fall, and we strongly recommend
to pur customers, whether they
seed clover or grasses or rot, to
fertilize their grain crops with
200 to 300 pounds of animal bone
or a good grain fertilizer, at that
time and run the harrow over it
to slightly incorporate it with
the soil. The increased yields of
grain will well repay for the fer
tilizing and little extra labor
required. Wood's Crop Special.
Card of Thank.
We desire to thank the people
of the community for their kind
ness and assistance during the
recent illness and death of our
mother.

"After 15 Years I Am WeO"
Mrs. Mary Amanda Nash, of Lum
berton, N. C, writes: "For years I
was a severe sufferer from chronic
dysentery, brought ' n by acute indi
gestion. It also brought on catarrhal
headache which debilitated me so I had
to lie down three or four hours each
day. My general health was greatly
ku paired, and I was weak and nervous,
One day 1 had one of those terrific
headaches, and my daughter-in-law
suggested that I try Mrs. Joe Person's
Remedy. I did so, and the very first
dose relieved that headache, I contin
ued to use it, and for the first time in
fifteen years I am well. It is the best
medicine compounded in this world."
Most people regard stomach troubles
(and these include Indigestion, Dyspep
sia, hour stomach, Nervousness, etc.)
as cf little consequence in their early
stages. Never was a more serious
mistake made.
When the appetite is gone, the nerves
shattered, the temper ruined, the body
emaciated, spasms ot pain trequent,
sound sleep impossible, refreshing rest
unknown, they wake up to the fact
that stomach trouble is a serious mat
ter. When this stage is reached, the
only thing in the world that will cure
you is
MRS. JOE PERSON'S REMEDY.
It restores energy to jaded digestive
organs, sti.-rr i : a h (y flow of
gastric juice, tnu unrigs every portion
of the stomach back to normal health.
It is a strictly vegetable compound,
and contains no harmful mineral in
gredients whatever. As a Tonic, Al
terative, Blood Purifier and Nervine it
has no equal.-
Don't permit any disease of the stom
ach to go untreated. As soon as you
feel the slightest effects of indigestion
or any of the other ailments directly
attributable to a derangement of the
digestive organs, begin at once the use
ot Mrs. Joe Person s Kemedy and a
complete cure will be an easy matter.
If your trouble is of long standing,
this Remedy will still cure you but it
will, of course, take longer.
We want you to write us for testi
monials from people who once suffered
the tortures of Indigestion, Dyspepsia
and other stomach ailments, but who
are now Bound and well, and eat what
they want w ithout a sign of distress.
In cases of external trouble, inflam
mation, ulceration or itching Humor,
our Wash should be used with the
Remedy.
