MANY FRIENDS OF HIS EN DORSE WHAT HE SAYS Liberty New* Miss Martha Caudle and Jaunita Reece, students of Guilford College, were visitors in town for Thanksgiv ing to their parents. The Red Cross ladies met -in the school building Wednesday afternoon of last week and spent more time knit ting. Everyone present enjoyed the party and did good work. Most ev eryone completing their work and the knitting committee report everything will be ready to send in to the Ran dolph Chapter this week. Quite a number of the older ladies of the town have done much good knitting for the branch and are thoroughly interested in the work. The branch will hold a union meeting Wednesday afternoon at 8 o’clock in the school building. Mr. and Mrs. C. P. Smith, Jr., wore visitors in Salisbury several days ago the guests of the daughter Mrs. Ernest Watson. Charlie Patterson from near Rich mond, Va., is here on a visit to his parents, Mr. and Mrs. R. E. Patterson. Miss Ida Williams fi'om near Lib erty was in town Monday on her re turn home from Winston-Salem, Bad- in, and High Rock where she had been on a visit for several weeks to rela tives. ‘T want to tell folks who wake up in the mornings with aches across their back, weak kidneys, and lost ap petite and energy, how to get relief," declared Clyde Lafon, a well known lumberman of Waiteville, W. Va. “I suffered that way for months and my back would feel so stiff on waking up and pain me so much I suffered aw fully. My kidneys bothered me and urinating was painful. I was weak and thin and would often get real sick at my stomach. My appetite wasn’t much either, but I want to say that Acid Iron Mineral is the thing for people troubled like that. I took some of it and it did more good than any medicine I ever used and I always keep it in my home. Lots of people I know have also been helped. It builds your system up and mal es any one hearty and stout," continued Mr. Lafon. Acid Iron Mineral is the highly con centrated product of a natural medi cinal iron deposit. There is no alcohol or narocotics added and it does not af fect the bowels or liver, upsetting the system. It ia stronger, much cheaper, better iron medicine. A few drops to a tea- speonful mixed in a glass of water make* a wenderfal tonic and iron med- ieime fer bleed, rheumatism, kidneys, digeetien, and whole system generally. Let* of people in this state recom mend it. Get a hottle today. Cedar Falls News Mr. A. L. Briles and Mr. W. T. Wrenn spent a few hours in Asheboro Saturday.

How ever, the embargo placed by the Boat Lines, as well as the Rail Lines, from, Norfolk against the movement of cer tain restricted commodities, as well as freight destined to designated' points still remains in a .limited way, embar goed. The Norfolk Southern now be ing in a position to accept freight will afford a great relief to tlie community served by its line.. Cotton, which has been somewhat delayed, will also be accepted beginning with Monday, 'De cember 3rd. * During the past ten (1-0) days -the NoxTolk Southern Railroad has made every earnest effort to remove the con gestion and minimize the d^lay to traffic and the announcement of tne acceptance of freight will be welconie news to the shippers of NoiiJi Caro- ina and Virginia.
