Decayed teeth seriously impair the health of a human body. If you have held back be cause you fear the pain of extraction, your fears have been groundless. A good dentist can extract them with very little annoyance to you. At the same time the antiseptic solution he uses will heal the gums and cause your mouth to regain its normal con dition. 20 Years Experience Together with two post-graduate courses in dentistry have prepared me to do any of your work.

HENLEY Office over rosjoffico Building, 'ishcboro Oft: EDITORIAL CIESB OF THE CREDIT SYSTEM Ike Reidaville Review has a most emib'.e and timely editorial , on the Siedit SjBtem.' This applies equally to all the wage earnera.in the towns in Ran. dolph as well as to the towna of Rockingham county. We quote at some length from the Review article : Why all this cursed credit busi ness anyway P What is the necessity of it here in Reidaville ? Wehavea population of wage earners, and the average man draws his salary either we kly, bi-weekly or monthly. What is en; need then or ashing the mer. ( b its to carry your account for you how one month to another, thus ma king it ceceBsary for him to employ the services 01 bookkeepers and col lectors, and so confuse his .mind that he never knows just how to buy bis stock or when he can pay his bill? Hsto you ever stopped to consider the gieat trouble you involve upon the a. erchant who credits yommontb. Iv fcr vonr supplies and you pur chaste? Take a look at these facte for a moment: He never knows when he enters items on your ao count that you will be ready to pay his collector the first of. the coming month. This applies te the people generally. Some times the best pay. ing customers have disappointments for the merchants. Your credit bnsiness requires the service of bookkeeper and colector, thus en tailing additional expense upon the merchant. If you pad cash for your purchases and your neighbors paid cash the merchant would know just how to buy his stock, and he could discount all his bills, making an additional saving of 2 per cent. Two per cent, multiplied several times during the year means quite a good per cent, for- him, and tnus be would be able to mane you a saving .n his discounts, on the saving of his bookkeppicg and collecting ex peuses and the saving or losses tn bad accounts would amount to con 8iderable. The credit habit is the curse of the merchants of Reidesville and our people generally. Do ndt think that you are doing the merchant any, spec ial favor when you order your sup plies and apparel to be charged. If you pay him promptly the end of the month he will have made a de ceut per cent, perhaps on your pure chase : if you allow the account to run several months, thus entauin. additional work on bookkeepers ang collectors you have been a positivd hindrance to his business. Business men do not feel that they have been favored when people buy large amount of merchandise and leave the accounts unpaid indefinitely. If you fully appreciated the fact that the merchant bad been runningyour financial affairs for you, lending you his stock without any interest, yon might not feel so bigoted when you have run np large accounts over town and manifest no interest' in seeing that they are promptly paid. Why not give the merchant the same consideration that a banking insti tution or other individuals would re quire of you? 1 Now suppose yon adopt the plan of taking home to the family a cer. tain part of your earnings each week bi-weekly or monthly, and telling the housekeeper just what she can spend during a certain period of time and impressing upon her to send along the money when she makes the order can't you see how much easier you would make It on your merchant and how mere economically your housekeeper would make the pur chase!? Uan't you readily under etar.d th-t the merchant would bo in position i;) ciye vou the benefit of Will Man Exterminate Himself? The boy hunter is the most de. structive. A boy will shoot any thing that flies. The extermina'ion of birds has grown to such an alarm ing extent, and insects consequently have increased so enormously, that statisticians are warning ns that it will not be many j ears before man will exterminate himself by starva tion, if birds continue to be destroy ed by those in quest of plumage and bird dinners. The Audobon Societies are con stantly pointing out the menace which is already on us because of the extermination of birds. In the Oarolinas the fine beetle threatens to exterminate the Bhort leaf pine and the destruction is so serious that government experts are how in the Piedmontcountry endeavoring to stay the ruin of the forest. Another in sect years ago destroyed snost of the chestnut trees in the Uarolinas, and the destruction in that particular is now going on as far north as renn sylvania. In whole counties of North Carolina where chestnut trees grew by the thousands 20 years ago, such a tree is now a curiosity, tiow long will it be before the pine will as surely disappea'? The cotton boll weu has never been stayed in its progress from the Southwest, and only two States lie between that pest and North Carol) na. These intervening estates are South Carolina and Georgia, for the weevil be 8 made steady progress in Alabama, coming this way. With the bird family growing scarcer every year, and the insect family becoming greater and more voracious, our or chardists are now having more trou ble with their fruit trees than eve.. The market gerdener has all he can do to fight insects and the farmer hardly has a crop that escapes some sort of insect destruction. During the past season the cotton cater pi l J lar, army worm and red spider have been more numerous than ever. With droughts and insects to contend witb, howloDg will it be before we will have a cropless countj? The thought of it U alarming, but this is not raised as a f.ilse alarm, for the possibility is a serious one to face. It is so near realization that the government and the Audubon Societies are doing all they can to save the birds and the farmers. The farmers have to have to he!p them eslves by co-operating with them in tbe movement. They can protect the birds on their farms and encour age their propagation. Mr. Henry W. Henshaw. recently indicated to the farmers how they can aid in re- storing bird life.. He sayf: "This can be effected in four ways: 1. By providing artificial nesting sites far the species that nest in hoi. low trees or in the cornices and cav ities of buildings. 2. By planting thickets of berry-bearing trees and shrubs along the roads or in waste places on the form. 3. By careful- y protecting the birds already oc cupying the premises. 4. By sup. plying water for birds. Though at first thought it may seem a small matter, a supply of water for drink ing and bathing purposes is of great mportance to birds because they must bathe and drink just like hu man beings." tr.e ; ..u n d r V. , on 1 O'clock I w'il noil at, public miction H tfco h nold Home Piwre, :nlji.jm ii. !m oriihiHtiiifj of aUont SMt) nerm of Jaa dolph County.
