Lumberton,
(FORD AND FOBD SERVICE.)
North Carolina
Friends ask us if we are
the cold. The doctor has ordered a
sheep-skin lined overcoat and he will
need that and a helmet like the sol
diers also after while. He is very
popular, some times, I think rather
too much so if you will listen to tne.;
following experience. Last week I
was in Asheville and called him to
come after me and as the day was
rainy he went on the tram, leaving
the chauffeur in charge of the office.
When we came home at 10 p. m. Some
one about twelve miles away on Hemp
Hill creek had been trying to get
him all day. The call came again;
six miles of good road, four miles of
bad road, a horse in waiting and a
mountain climb of two miles, a man in
agony of pain. How the doctor hated
to refuse; but he knew he could not
find the way m the dark. JSexc morn
ing early he left. The good road was
soon gone over, the bad road, a cart
track of loose stones, was made by the
Ford without trouble and the doctor
mounted the horse. Neighbors of
nearby coves and valleys gathered in.
The home, a tiny one-room shack, was
full of sympatny but no help, ihe
14-year-old wife was crying an ac
companiment to the groans of her
husband's acute appendicitis. Diag
nosed at once, the doctor told them
only an operation could save him, and
they must take him down the moun
tain and on to Waynesville. There
was only one quilt in the house and
the doctor showed how to sew it to
2 poles; so soon four sturdy mountain
wood-cutters had the man swinging
in the improvised stretcher. The
doctor headed the procession on the
old horse, all the neighbors followed.
The man in the stretcher under the
influence of a kind doctor's hypoder
mic made no complaint. The doctor
was stopped twice o nthe way down
the mountain to prescribe for sick
babies, so turned the horse over to a
girl cousin. The chauffeur and our
little friend boy at the foot of the
mountain were being entertained by
all the neighbor children. They were
taken into the school house and shown
the blood on the seat and the holes in
the door made by an infuriated school
teacher who killed a committeeman
and ran away never to be seen again
The two dogs along were given a
bath; the apple trees were' visited and
the chestnuts admired. The chauf
feur said he began to think his doc
tor was so precious he was goine tc
be kept, when one of the boys called
"Look out look up here they come
and the man's dead and they're
bringing him down to lock him up in
Experience the Best Teacher
. It is generally admitted that expe
rience is the best teacher, but should
we not make use of the experience of
others as wll as our own? lhe exne
nence of a thousand nersons is ricre
to be depended upon than that of " one
individual. Many thousands of ner
sons have used Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy for coughs and colds with the
best results, which shows it to be a
thoroughly reliable preparation for
those diseases. Try it. It is prompt
and effectual and pleasant to take
seen it all, tell us of the great dif
ference. You can remember the time
when life was not safe on the South
Carolina border of Robeson. The doc
tor and his father treated out-lawed
men hidden n Ashpole swamp, but to
day that community is a Christian!
neighDorhood, a strong place of the
county, and we all know the same
elements brought it out. It seems to
me that these lessons should make
us more loyal to our Uncle Sam.
Our son writes from Camp Jack
son, "All is well, our boys glad to
help, our mmds made up to be just
as good soldiers as Uncle Sam de
sires." We almost dread to go home.
How lonely it will be without cur
sons, but let us think of our great
happiness when duty done, they gath
er round our empty hearth stones and
fill our hearts with joy.
