Ar He-' I remedy for women, and one t).pei:illy .suited to their del-cat.' re quirements, is Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepfiin, which thousands of women endorse highly, among them Mrs. C. S. Vance, of 511 S. Ray St., New Castle, Pa. At times she had spells of indi pestion so severe that she thought she would die. Syrup Pepsin regulated her stomach and bowels, and she attri. bates her excellent health today to this remedy. All the family can use Dr. Caldwell s Syrup Pepsin, for thousands of moth, ers give it to babies and children. It is also admirably suited to the require ments of elderly people, in fact, to all who by reason of age or infirmity cannot stand harsh salts, cathartics, pills or purgatives. These should al ways be avoided, for at best their . lets x : M ItS. C. S. VANCE. effect is only for that day, while a Ktnuine remedy like Syrup Pepsin acts mildly but permanently. It can be conveniently obtained at any drug store at fifty cents or one dollar a bottle. Results are always guaranteed or money will be refunded. You will find it gentle in action, pleas ant in taste and free from griping, and its tonic proprieties have a distinct value to women. It is the most wide ly used laxative tonic in America to day and thousands of families are now never without it. Families wishing to try a free sample bottle can obtain it postpaid by addressing Dr. W. B. Caldwell, 419 Washington St., Monticello, 111. A postal card with your name and ad dress on it will do.

Correspondence of The Robesonian. Old Fork (Maxton, li. 1), 0-t. L7 We an' having ilc'il weather nowadays, just crisp and cool noujjrh to l)e pleasant. am sit ting out on the sunny front ye ran dah enjoying the health-ivin air. From all predictions, we are to have a long, cold winter, and 1 want to take advantage of the outer life as long as possible. There is a large water oak tree situated just at one .corner of the verandah, and the birds an; busy in it, after acorns, I presume, of which there is an immense crop this season; but only the larger species of bijrxls can swallow them. An old sly cat came in just now, called her kitten and gave it a poor little bird of unfamiliar variety and one of the most beautiful I ever saw. Its plumage was black, splashed with large spots of white, and its dear little head was crowned with a tuft of bright crimson.. Mrs. Olmstead who is a great lover of animal life, took the little victim away from its cruel captor, saying it was too pretty to be torn up, and she wanted to discourage the habit. with vasaline, or meat grease, ik prob ably the most efficient remedy. The disease in itself does not cause fatal, ity, but blindness and consequent starvation. It is a fearful thing, when it takes good hold, and the first safe guard is to completely isolate the first ones effected from the balance of the flock, and give salts and sulphur to! purify the blood. v Mrs. Alexander Stewart and little son of Maxton spejft last week at the home of her father-in-law, Mr. D. M. Stewart. Miss Rachel Hamer of oijgIa, Cforia.is spending ?or.'j tine among friends and relatives in the Fork. I received recently from my kind kinsman Mr. A. W. McLean of Lum berton a lot of fine literature, in the way of standard periodicals, etc., which we appreciate and are enjoying to the full. It is clouding up this p. m. and I fear the beautiful weather is about at an end. Some of oir voung people attends 1 Little Millionaire" play at Laurin burg and were well pleased with, the performance. There is considerable building go ing on in the Fork, consisting mostly of barns and tenp.nt houses, except the nice new residence of Mr. D. R. Caddell, which nears completion. Mrs. W. C. Hamer, Mrs. E. L. Olm. stead, and son Angus, drove up yes terday p. m., to the old Stewartville cemetery, to inspect the graves there, many of which are very ancient, and the insriptions mark the last resting place of many who emigrated from Scotland, and died over a century ago. Among others of the old Scotch, the great-great-grand-parents of your townsmen Messrs. A. W. and A. T. McLean and the children of the late Col. N. A. McLean, are buried there. These were the grandparents of Mrs. Robt. Chaffin and Miss Narmie Mc- f Aa-tM nn1 rtnrv n 4- to r I t cj fP There is just in front of me a V" n is a oeauuiui cotton field which a few day .s ago 'Xtln was clothed in green but rinburg.. Frost" came last Monday night On Sunday p. m. of last week I at and iwith his withering ' touch, tended the funeial of my faithful old changed the face ot the lam scape to a mass ot brown and withered leaves. The present cot ton prospect is discouraging, and I have heard several of our farm ers say since the frost that they will not realize more than half a crop this season. So much of it is unopened, and it was a short crop before the freeze came; but they are getting good prices for it and I hope that the final results will be better than they antici pate. The hay crop in this section is abundant, and most of it well cured. hTere will be an unusual ly large quatity of oats sown, but the pea crop is a partial failure, also sweet potatoes, which suffered from too much wet weather. I attended the grand centennial at Center church on Tuesday, the 13th, saw a large assemblage of Scotch Presbyterians, many old friends and a small remnant of former class and college mates of Old Floral, heard splendid - addresses, enjoyed n most bountiful and elegant dinner, and had a "good time" generally. I met Mr. M. G. McKenzie, our worthy Scotch treasurer, and the only representa tive from your town whom I knew. The address of Rev'd. Angus R. Mc Queen, on the works, progress, and ministry of Fayetteville Presbytery during the last century, was intensely inteiesting and delivered in splendid style as was also those of R-jvs. Alex'r Martin and Watson Fairloy and Elder J. W. McLauchlin. What has become of Happy Jack? It is seldom that I find his breezy let ters in The Robesonian these days. It may be possible that he is otherwise engaged, and that he is in pursuit of "fairer game." If so we wish for him all manner of success, and that "he may live happily ever after." The wedding bells are beginning to "tinkle" in the Fork; and it is possible that one of our neighbor boys will soon biing home from a sister coun ty a "bonnie bride." Miss Sadie Stewart narrowly escaped a dangerous accident one day last week when lighting a fire in the kitchen range with kerosene, it blaz ed up, singed her beautiful hair and slighly scorched her hand and face. I read of serious accidents of this na ture and very often of loss of life. I sometimes use this method of lighting, but am very careful to place wood in stove, pour a little oil over it, and then apply the mate, which obviates all danger. Miss Janie Stewart of John's Sta tion also met a painful accident re cently. She and her brother were re turning home from Laurinburg, when a tap on the shaft became loosened, the shaft dropped and the horse ran away. Miss Janie jumped from the buggy sustaining an injury to her foot and ankle, from which she has since b'en confined to the house. I have been twice in my life a victim of run aways and it is a frightful cxperionce. On 'bothoccasions I was thrown from the buggy but escaped serious injury, physically, though it was some time before I recovered from the mental anguish. A few years ago I was visiting an old school mae, whom I had not seen in sevWalyi&irs. I soon discovered that she was limping right badly and and inquired as to the cause. "Oh, Belle," she replied, "don't you know the mule ran away with me and broke my leg just above the ankle, and it is shorter than the other, and and," continued she, "I believe it was foreordained that horses and mulet were to be the death of my family. It began during the war, when Dick McLean's old mule kicked Duncan Ar chie (her husband) breaking several of his ribs, and it all wound up at last in his being killed, and I cripled, by a runaway mule." And it really did seem as though they were attended by some strange fatality. Ithink that it is a very humane Lim berton lady who is having a hospital built for sorehead chickens. If she wants additional patients, just let us know, as there are some scattered about up here, though the. disease is now abating. It attacked us in the month of June, in violent form, kill ing out many of the earlv brood. Mrs. Olmstead, .who looks, after, the poultry department, tried various remedies, and thinks that kerosene oil, mixed black mammy," at Pine Grove church in sight of our home. She was born and reared tu old Queensdale, aim was in her Eod year. From ni i... fancy, throughout the succeeding years, she was my trueand loyai friend. Always on hand in sickness and trouble, in joy or sorrow, to serve and ministe- with cheerful anuvity, and efficient hands. She carried be neath her dusky skin a golden heart, and when it ceased to throb I lost one of my most devoted friends, whom I will sorely miss. A few days before her death I visited her and found her clamly awaiting the last,summons, in "that perfect peace of the Christian whose heart is stayed on Him." She was far above the average of her race in natural intelligence, honor and fine character and was the last of the el der set of the family negroes, be tween whom and their former owners existed those close bonds of friend ship and sympathy, which are rapidly passing with the extinction of owner and former slave. She was also an aunt of the late Wash McQueen of your town. Her funeral was largely attended, and my last act of loving appreciation to her loyal fidelity was performed when I placed above the pulseless heart a cross of sweet flow ers. "AUNT BECKY."
