DRAGGING OF ROADS. How toi;et Tlum in ;i oil shape h'or Winter Hauling. Oa every farm where tlure is a mile or more of road, unless it has been lrtide permanent by grading properly and nmcadainized or grav eled, there ought to be a road drag. With such a tool at hand any farm er can with little tune and trouble keep his farm roads in perfect con dition. Having a large farm and over two miles of roadway, I have fouod a homemaue drag to be a most useful implement. Of course we can get along with poor roads on the tarsi, but if we are the sort of farmers who take pride in having things in the best shape we will certainly tike pleasure in keep ng our farm roads in good condition. And I may add that it takes so little time and trouble to run ovtr a mile or two of road when the team is already hitched to the drag that I usually go through the outside gate and work np and down the public road in front of the farm wlien I drag the farm roads. The longer I keep my drag and use it on my roads the more I ap preciate it. Mine is of the red Bplit log type. I made it out of a ten foot section of a twelve inch hick, ory log, split in the middle, and on the front cutting edge nailed some heavy sheet iron. It works about a well as the metal ones, some of which I see accasionally. I don't think it took me two hours to make my drag, though I hd cot make it strictly according to the regulation in farm papers. All of those seemed to have the two sec tions of log put together by having three large augur holes bored throngh them and round wooden bars about two inches in diameter put through to hold them parallel and rigid, I did not have the large augur to bore holes big enough for stout wooden bars so I merely sawed down into the upper edges of each half of the log at three places aud split out the blocks, leaving a place into which I could put a piece of four inch scantling thirty-six inches long and fitted them into the cutout places and made them f ist :by driv ins spikes sis inches long into them. The job seems to be as olid as those made by boring holes and putting the- bars tbrjugh. Some people make their drags of plank, and tbey iln vt.r-17 hnt nnflt nmra on1 i 4., li n ,l ymuuu Buuuuuaiu usage oo wen ue . the lVglar eplit log drag. j There is not, Of Course, SO great J need of the drag in summer and fall as in winter and spring, but it is a much easier and pleasanter job to make it then, and, besides, if one drags his loads a few times in sum mer and gets them well graded up they will remain in good shape far better than if left just as the sum mer hauling has made them. Moreover, on many farms there are wet places in the roads that i ; not well be worked to advantage winter and spring. If these ain graded up and drained in the fare they will no doubt stay good all thll time. Why Some Towns Grow. This bit of philosophy is from The Waxhaw Enterpiise: "The reason why some towns grow is be cause there are men of push and en ergy in them, who are not afraid to spend their time and money to boom their towns. They erect sub stantial buildings, organize stock companies and establish factories, secure railroads, work for public improvements and use evtry means! iu Lucii jjubci i'j njuuue peupie iu lo cate in their city. W herever they go tney tell ox tne advantages of their city, they write about them in eery letter.

Tne year 1910 will be marked by four eclipses two of the sua and two of tne moon. Both eclipses of the moon will be visible ia America, bnt Jboth of the sno will be invisible. The first total eclipse of the moon will appear on Monday, May 23, and f ha ao?JUwl k i w ,',!., the second will be on Wednesday MILLIONS OF LIVES LOST. An Awful Toll Collected by tcniMim liou liiy I mitcessary Dentin lioni This llease. Tf Dannie could onlv understand that systemic catarrh is an iuteiuaf disease that external application can not cure, they would not need to be wuraed so often about this in ilady, tvhich, when neglected, paves the way oftentimes fur cinsuuiption, at the cost of millions of lives every year. Yet cat in h may be cured, if the right tieatnient is employed. Catarrh is caused by a general diseu.-ed 8tXi of the system which leads commonly to annoying aud perhaps serious local conditions, which may prove a feitile breeding ground for germ3 of consumption. External remedies give but tempo rary ease. The only way to successfully treat catarrh is by employing a medicine which is obsorbed and carried by the blood to all parts of the system, so that the mucous mem. brane or internal lining of the body is toned up and made capable of re sisting the infection of consumption and other diseases. We have a remedy prepared from the prescription of a physician who for thirty years studied and made catarrh a specialty, and whose re cord was a patient restored to health in every case where his treatment was followed as precribed. That remedy is Rexall Mucu-Tone. We are so positive that it will completely overcome catarrh in all iU forms, whether acute or chronic, that we promise to return every penny paid to us for the medicine ia every case where it fails or for any rerson does not satisfy the user. We want you to try Rexall Mucu Tone on our recommendation and guarantee. We are right here where ycu live, and you do not contract any obligatien or risk when you try Rexall Mucu-Tone on oar guarantee, We have Rexall Mucu-Tone in two sizes, 50 cents and $1.00. Very often the taking of one 50-cent bot tle is sufficient to make a marked im pression upon the case. Of course in chronic cases a longer treatment is necessary. The average in such instances is three $1.00 bottles. Remember you can obtain Rexall Remedies in Asheboro only at our store, The Rexall Store. J. T. Underwood, next to Bank of Ran dolph.

Wsnen as Well a men era Hails Eiseraljia by Kidney and Bladder Trouble. Kidney trouble preys upon the mind, discourages and lessensarnbition; beauty, vigor and cheerful ness soon disappear when the kidneys are out or order or dis eased. Kidney trouble has become so prevalent that it is not uncom mon for a child to be born afflicted with weak kidneys. If the child urinates too often, if the urine scalds the flesh, or if, when the child reaches an age when it should be able to control the passage, it is yet afflicted with bed-wetting, depend upon it, the cause of the diffi culty is kidney trouble, and the first step should be towards the treatment of these important organs. This unpleasant trouble is due to a diseased condition of the kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as most people suppose. Women as well as men are made miser able with kidney and bladder trouble, and both? need the same great remedy. The mild and the immediate effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized. It is sold by druggists, in fifty cent and one-dollar size bottles. You may have a sample bottle by mail free, also a pamphlet telling all?
