The Lasterners say that when pve gave Adam the apple, it stuck in his ihroat and hence ihe name i Adam's apple" applied io the en iarged cartilage in the throat. ' The apple is one of the oldest Sruits known to nun. It is found ild in Asia, Attica and liurope. From this wild apple, or crab apple, ky grafting, all our modern varie ties have come. ! In some places it is called "Dr. apple." We all know the old say p, "An apple a day keeps the joctor away." It is said if a girl will lake an apple, stick pins into it up to the head, giving to each pin the name of a young man she likes, and then hang the apple upside down in her room, the first pin to work out and Irop tells her the man she will Jiarry. i We will accept any series of Liberty Bonds at par value as cash payment for furniture or as a credit n account. i Weldon Furniture Co. !

B. Pierce in the chair. The secretary, Mrs. W. G. Suiter, called the roll responses to which were given in current events rela ting to China, which were interest ing and instructive. Mrs. Pierce reported that the idea of a public library in Weldon had been re ceived with much favor and it was generally felt that it would be a great advantage to the entire com munity. After all business matters were disposed of Mrs. T. C. Har rison gave a paper on "Commer cialism in China,'' and Mrs. O. W. Pierce on "The World's Greatest Porcelain Center." The secreta ry distributed some interesting prints of Chinese scenes and Mrs. S. B. Pierce read extracts from a personal diary describing scenes and incident of a visit through that section.

Wear, of Ba kersfield, California, who has been visiung his brother, Mr. B. H. Wear and family lor the pasi month, left for his home in Califor nia, Tliuisday night of last week. Forty-eight years ago Mr. Wear went to California. He landed in Los Angeles with 50 cents in his pucket. Being a printer, he went to work on a paper. Soon he drill ed to Bakerslield, a town then ol about 61)0 inhabitants. Through the influence of Miller & Lux, the big cattlemen ol thai section, he bought out the Bakersticld paper. He saved every cent he made, and invested in property. The town grew rapidly, and he had bought when property was low, it increas ed in value. Bakersticld has now 25,000 inhabitants. He now owns a fine ranch near the town, several desirable residences which he rents besides giving a home to his mar ried sou, daughter and grand daughter. He unfortunately lost his wile in June. She owned the largest yard of hue chickens, and her chicken farm was known all over the State. Mr. Wear served two terms in the California Legislature and could this year have had the nomination for the State Senate, only on ac count ol the continued bad health of his wife, he refused the nomi nation. His career in California goes to show what a man can do. He took the advice of Horace Greeley, and "went west and grew up with the country. " This visit was the first time the brothers had tnci in 37 years. A REAL ESTATE COMPANY. A petition is being circulated by Messrs. C. li. Carter and Samuel F. Dixon, two wide-a wake busi ness men of X eldon, asking the citizens tosubseriiie to stock amoun ting to $100 per share for the sole purpose of building up the town. This company, organized, proposes to buy and sell real estate, build, sell and rem houses. This is, in our opinion, one of the best steps ever undertaken in our midst, and one thut will not pay each tndivtd ual stockholder, but will help build up our town. There is really no telling how many families would move to Weldon and become per manent citizens, if they could find suitable residences to live in. We have good churches, fine schools, fine water, paved streets and elec tric lights, and in fact, we have every convenience that would na turally am act one contemplating moving in a healthy, public spirited locality. We sincerely hope these brethren will find little or no trouble in securing all the stock asked for. DON'T MISS IT.

Mr. and Mrs. R. A. Musgrove, of Raleigh, spent the week end in Weldon. Mr. James U. Parsons, of New York, spent several days in Wel don last week. If you can't spell "sophisticated," suggests an exchange, just use the word "fresh." A solid car load of Weldon peo ple attended the fair ai Raleigh, last Thursday.

Miss Kaiherine Crew, of Picas ant Hill, spent last week with rela tives in Weldon. Mrs. A. W. Dunn and children of Scotland Neck, are visiting rel atives in Weldon. Many a dashing youih has come to grief by dashing in front ol a train at a crossing. The sure way to have friends is lo so live thai you don't have to call on them for help.

Women have about quit smok ing, since they found that men didn't care a hoot whether they smoked or not. Don't be shocked if you happen to see one of them. The new lash ion makes il proper for a girl to expose her ears. Mr. and Mrs. Joe Buns Dickens and daughter, Janie Roberta, spent last week in Fayetteville visiting friends and relatives. "Turn hard times into good limes, Don't let your courage fade; And if you've got a lemon Just make the lemon aid." Another advantage about a porch swing is that it consumes very little gasoline and doesn't need new tires every now and then. A woman never believes a man when he tells her she is the first woman he ever kissed, but she usually pretends that she does. We bad a pleasant call last week from our friend, Mr, E. T. Med lin.

Made In Japan In 1000 Its Own er Also Has Crutches Use By Lincoln. The following from Scotland Neck appeared in the News and Observer: W. H. Willoughby who resides near Scotland Neck, Halifax coun ty has in his possession a violin which is over three hundred years old. The inscription on the inside of the instrument reads as follows: "Jacobus Stalnerin Absam Prope Dempsistuam. Made in Japan 1600." Just how many hands it has been through is not definitely known, but Mr. Willoughby states that he purchased it nearly forty five years ago from a man by the name of Todd, and that a Scotch man brought it over here from England long before the War of 1812. It is in perfect tune and harmony and sounds just as well as the newer ones of today, even bet ter as the old saying is, "a fiddle never gets too old to play, the older it gets the sweeter is the melody." Perhaps this old fiddle will evi dently prove it. In all probability this violin is the oldest one in Hal ifax county or perhaps the State. Mr. Willoughby too, has a relic of Abraham Lincoln, a pair ot old fashioned crutches that Lincoln used in 1854 when he was violent ly thrown from his horse in some manner. Mr. Willoughby says that this pair of crutches was given him by one of Lincoln's servants, an old man 46 years ago. En graved or carved on the crutches is "Abraham Lincoln 1854." The crutches are made of hickory with a split about half way, They are of the old fashioned make, but still retain their use for cripples or rheumatics. SOMETHING IN YOUR EYE. Do not rub the eye. Keep it closed and let tears gather to wash substance to corner. Do not use a handkerchief. First try io re move with a piece of surgically clean gauze. Blow ing the nostril at the same side is often effective. If body is under lid, pull lid up as shown in illustration, and with a wisp of clean gauze or absorbent cotton twisted on the end of a match it may be removed. Whether you get the substance out or not, put into the eye a few drops of sweet oil. It is generally un necessary to bandage the eye. TROUBLE AT THE WATER WORKS. There was a bad break in the canal last week and for several days and nights the town was without water. All the old wells were put in com, mission and the people managed to get by, but not without being put to great inconvenience. A PINEJIGHWAY. Between Statesville and CharlotteJim Bricked the Builder The Charlotte Observer in speak ing of the highway between Char lotte and Statesville, pays our young Inend, Mr. James B. Brick- ell a high but well deserved com pliment. Mr. Bnckell is a native of Halifax county and has many relatives and friends in this vicini ty who will read the following with interest: "Some of these days, bye and bye, when the Mecklenburg end is completed, we will have between Charlotte and Statesville (he model highway of the nation. The Moores ville Enterprise this week gives in formation of ihe laying of the last batch of concrete between its town and Statesville the finishing of a job begun by the Thompson-Cald- well Construction Co., just one year ago. The asphaltic top-dress ing over the whole hue will be laid by Thanksgiving Day, and the people of Iredell will have some thing of added substantiality to give thanks for. The Enterprise gives detailed information of the construction of the road and pays particular compliment tp Mr. J. B. Brickell, under whose personal di rection the work was done. The road has been at all times under inspection by the State Highway engineers and it is the report of one of these that Brickell has put down "the best black top job in the State." The road is built to with stand eight and a half tons for one and one-half inch tires. There is one item in Brickell's report that The Observer wants to impress upon the minds of the peo ple in all sections of the State through which the roads are being laid. He was not bothered with lawsuits or scolded for inconveni ences of detours. On the other hand, every farmer helped him in a co-operative way; the church folks welcomed Brickell and his men, by reason of which they "re ceived great benefits." Also, they were given "good country din ners," and were made to feel gen erally that they were a people who appreciated the great work they were doing tor iheircommumiies. WELDON LODQE NO. 227 K. P.
