BIRTHDAY ANNIVERSARY.
1
A Notable Gathering at the Home of A. S.
CorreMf Landis.
Landis, Dec. 44th. The
60th anniversary of the birth
of A.S. Correll, of Landis,
was celebrated in a very en
joyable manner on the 12th
inst. The writer, with about
sixty others, comprising chil
dren, grand-children and
nea'rest friends gathered at
the new and comfortable
home of Mr. Correll about 10
a. m: and spent the day most
pleasantly. The older ones
talked of other days while
the children enjoyed their
games. But perhaps the
most enjoyable feature of the
day came when it was an
nounced that dinner was
ready. We went to see and
found a long table literally
burdened under its load of
turkey, chicken, pies, cakes
and other good things. W-e
ate to full satisfaction, but
were unable to rid the table
of all its loadf It was a de
lightful privilege to have
present our new pastor, Rev.
W. L. Nicholson, whom we
love already, although we
have known him so short a
time. In the- afternoon we
went to our homes never to
forget the pleasure of that
day. God bless Mr. Correll
and give him many more
birthdays. Correspondent.

stomach has gone a little wrong,

good order as is evidenced by

after your meals until relief is af

Judge Boid Loses Judicial Robe.
A month and more ago Judge
James E. Boyd, having concluded
court at Statesville, mailed his
expensive black silk robe to his
address at Greensboro, properly
indicating that it was to go post
age free, being a federal judge's
business. The robe never showed
up. Some days af tdrward,such a
robe was found in a fish trap near
Collock, S. C , a small place on
the S. A. L. near the Yadkin
river. It is supposed that some
mail clerk, thinking he had an
expensive suit of clothes, thought
to swipe it, and cut tho package
open. When he lound what he
had, a huge black silk robe that
nobody could use, he threw it into
the Yadkin river as his train pass
ed over the bridge between Lex
ington and Salisbury, although
this is bearing down rather heavily
on the mail clerks. The robe had
not been sent home at last ac
counts . but there seems little
doubt about whose robe it is.
Judge Boyd hd to hold court
without a robe, and finally order
ed one, which cost him the sum
of $50. Lexington Dispatch. m

BLOCKADED
Efery Household in Salisbury Should Know
How to Resist
The back aches because the kid
neys are blockaded.
Help the kidneys with their
work.
The back will ache no more.
Lots of proof that Doan's Kid
ney Pills do this.
It's the best proof, for it comes
from Salisbury.
R. M. Pendleton, printer on the
Salisbury Evening Sun, and resid
ing at 821 S. Lee St., Salisbury,
N, C, says: "I suffered a great
deal from pains in the small of
my back which were often so se
vere that I was obliged to "quit
work. I could not walk in an
erect position and had a constant
dull ache in the region of my kid
neys. I procured Doan's Kidney
Pills, started using them and re
ceived much benefit that I think
it but a duty to recommend them.
My back is now strong and I am
able to work every day without
the least sign of-pain.
