China grots Bkoobd, Feb.. 26th. . - - On last Monday morning about 8:80 o'clock, our little city was thrown into ' considerable excite ment by a head-onv collision be tween two freight trains, No. 61 the local, and No. 78 a through xreight train, which occurred just below the crossing one Jiundred yards south of the station. Con ductor Chapman aud Engineer Hatley were in charge of No. 61, which was southbound and had stopped in front of the' depot to unload some freight. A flagman was sent forward to stop the through freight train. No -78, un der charge of conductor CI ay born and Engineer Smith, unt l No. 61 could unload and run out on the side track and give them the main line, as they had orders to pass each other at this point. The flagman says he ran down the line below the curve in the road and tried to flag down the train, but on account of the heavy fog the engineer could not see his signal to stop. By this time the local was moving along slowly towards the switch, where in a few mo ments the two trains, coming from opposite directions, met and ran together, twisting off the plows and knocking in the frontB of both engines and completely demolish ing four box cars, one on the local and three on the through freight train. When the trains met Jjhe engineers and firemen jumped and escaped without injury, except Mr. Arthur Bost, fireman on No. 78, who in leaping fell on some hard substance which cut an ugly wound on his forehead about two inches long. He also received several bruises on the face about the nose and chin, though not of a serious nature, also a slight skin ned place on' his left knee. The wrecking crew, was telegraphed for and they soon responded, bringing with them the necessary tools; they went to work and the track was in a very short timecleared of the debris. The engines were tak en to the shops at Spencer, but the four oars were so badly smash ed up that they could not be mov ed, so they were thrown from the track and burned. Mr. Bost was first taken to the office of Dr. G. A. Ramsauer, where his wounds were dressed and afterwards carried to the Salisbury Sanatorium, where he is now Leing treated. We learn that he is get ting along nicely aud will sooli be able to be out again. Croup postively stopped in 20 minutes, with Dr. Shoop's Croup Remeday. One -test alone will surely prove this truth.

Mr. Lock Karriker, who lives two miles west ot Lauois, near. Enoch ville, had the misfortune to lose his dwellinghouse with nearly all its contents on last-Sunday afternoon about 3 o'clock. The house caught from a defective flue in the stove room. The family were all at home when the roof caught fire, butthe-vind was blow ing such a heavy gale a the time it was impossible to extinguish it, and in fifteen minutes from the time the fire-was first discovered the whole house was enveloped in the flames, giving the family very little time to escape f r m the burn ing building with their live3. Evervthine in the house was con- snmed by the angry flames except a bureau and bedstead, which were carried out by' the members of the family just before the house be gan to fall in. Thisis a heavy loss upon Mr. Karnker. We were not informed as to whether there was any insurance on the property bnt think there was not. A failing tiny nerve no longer than the finest silken thread takes from the Heart its impulse, its power, its regularity. The Stomach also has its hidden, or inside nerve. It was Dr. Shoop who first told us it was wrong to drug a weak or failing Stomach, Haart or Kidneys. Hsis prescrip tion Dr. Shoop's Restorative i directed straight for the cause of these ailments these weak and faltering inside nerves. This, no doubt clearly explains why the Restorative has of late grown so rapidly in popularity. Drtfggists say that those who test the Resto rative even for a few days soon become fully convinced of its wonderful merit. Anyway, dpn't drug the organ. Treating the cause of sickness is the only sens able and successful way. Sold by Cornelison & Cook. Killing Rabbits In Oklabona. Th a following is part of a letter from au oldTajrfieel.in Oklaho ma, written January 9th : v ' - "We have Ibeen having very bad weather eyor Bince New Year. naa a little snow the first of last week and it waB ..very cold a few days. On Tuesday morning the temperature dropped four degrees below - zero, then it turned off warmer and it has been foggy and misty ever since. "I guess you thought you had a good time, killing rabbits, when you were out here, but you wasn't iu it at all. You didut see any rabbits at all when you weie here; you ought to have been here about a week ago. They had a hunting match over at Mrs. Deal's. They had twelve,1 or thirteen on a side, and the side that lost had to "set up" to an oyster supper, and, as it happened, they had a "hunt" up at Billings on at the same day. Over at Mrs. Deals' they killed 435 rabbitts, iocludine 'Jacks' (? - and "cotton tails." and all thesa made the lower box of the wagon bed rounded up full, and at Bill ings they killed 595 rabbits and the next day Jerry,, Daniel and Jason came over here and we hunted about three hours and killed 75 rabbits and nevergotoff of my place. - "Now how does this sound for UKlanoma when there isn't rabbits here? any ' Now this is every word true.' " Salisbury, N. C, Feb. 10, 1909. M. S. . .77- In-sickness, if a certain hidden nerve goes wrong, then the organ thaVthis nerve controls will also 6urely fail. It may be a Stomach nerve, or it may have given atreugth and support to the Heart or Kidneys. It was Dr. Shoop that nrst pointed to this vital truth. Dr. Shoop's Restorative was not made to dse the Stomach no to temporarily stimulate the Heart or Kidney's. That old fashioned method is all wrong. Dr Shoop's Restorative goes directly to these failing inside nerves. The re markable eucceesess of the pre scription demonstrates the wisdom of treating the actual cause of these failing organs. And it is indeed easy k prove. A simple five or ten days test will surelv Vr ell.

The work of pruning should be be gun at the top of the tree and com pleted at the bottom. In this way the desired form can- be better secured, and there is less danger of accident. The men employed should be careful not to do more damage by breaking and bruising than they do good by pruning. A rope properly adjusted about the waist and fastened to a stout limb above the workman is an excellent means of sustaining the prin cipal weight of the body while moving about through th& tree. The form and direction of the cut when removing branches depends upon the position of the branch on the tree and "T Whether It is to be simply shortened or entirely removed. Erect branches are shortened by cutting them at an angle, thus preventing the undue en trance of water, while side branches are cut perpendicularly for the same reason. Need of Enterprise. A few pounds of enterprise are worth a ton of brag and bluster when town building and .Improvement are consid ered. We are indebted to Hon. Edwin Y.

Mr. Webb makes it plain that Mr. Knox is constitutionally disqualified. Near Death In Big Pond. It was a thrilling experience to Mrs. Ida Soper to face death.
