Poor Mr. Owen
Moore no doubt lived
In a small city or town
where he tried to make
a living by running a
store. The people who
were his neighbors in
that town and on the
farms around town
bought most of their
things from the great
Mail Order houses,
neglecting to trade
with Mr. Moore.
Quite naturally, Mr.
Moore failed in busi
ness and went away
owing more than he
could pay. lie had to
go away and find a lo
cation in some town
where the people pat
ronized home ^,^mer-
chants.
But the funny poet who wrote those lines was mis
taken about Owen Moore coming back one day. Mr.
Moore, having been burnt once, would not stick his fin
gers in the same fire again. No, indeed! Mr. Moore
would stay away, not because he was Owen Moore than
he could pay, but because if he ever came back and
started again in business there he would be Owen Moore
still. He would let the old town continue to grow street
grass.
Have you been the cause of any Owen Moore trage
dies in your town?

A recent book on Shakespeare has set
English people to talking about the
condition of things in the poet’s birth
place, Stratford-on-Avon. The London
Academy says that Stratford is a dull
little town, visited annually by many
thousand men and women from all
over the world. It suggests that if
'‘annual festivals” are to be encour
aged there should be provided a theater
that would fitly symbolize the world’s
veneration of the great dramatist At
present strangers bring away a sense
of the general ugliness of the' place,
especially the hunger of the populace
for tips. At the church where the body
of William Shakespeare lies buried, at
the birthplace and eveiyw’here else
strangers are jarred by the endless
clamor for shillings and sixpences.
The Cuban treasury is overflowing,
containing something like $16,000,000
in excess of present needs. It is a
large sum, and General Magoon evi
dently is under the impression that
something may happen to it unless it
is speedily expended for useful pur
poses. The programme is to do a great
deal of needed road work. But it is
not improbable that we shall earn very
few thanks by urging useful expendi
ture ill a country W’here the policy of
dividing the surplus among the faith
ful is in favor.

German fruit growers are still exper

These peace congresses are getting

Thoughts Of Brevard.
BY CAPT. M. R. GLEASON.
Editor Sylvan Valley News:
There is something so practi
cal about Brevard! While it
gives a picture of the past, it has
a present-dayness, au up to date-
ness that makes Brevard not
only a perfect town, but a power
ful educative force. For here are
not merely a number of build
ings jumbled together ;everything
is carefully classitied, one might
say—so attractively built and
laid out that each nook and cor
ner is of interest, all glistening
with the living presence of health
and wealth. In the glow of the
afternoon wife and I strolled up
the street and across to the pic
turesque court house, and looked
upon the scene from which so
many of the well remembered
and honored people have van
ished. That superlative steel
tire (fire gong) still graces the
tower the same as years ago.
Noting that, wife waved her hand
toward the northwest. “Is it
not beautiful!” she said, in quaint
enjoyment. Then, lo! the sky
with a sunset became as a sea of
gold, and the trees, hills and
mountains stood out flanked by
shimmering copse—a massive
background of foliage against
which the clouds, mottled^ and
pearl-gray, the age-worn
ruin of the Parthenon, stood out
in relief. But Brevard was
transfigured^—no longer prosaic
Brevard. It seemed to be some
fairy place, sme dim rich city
of song and story. As Brevard
stood bathed in the glory of the
summer sunset we saw it thro’
a veil of sun-illumined haze.
Wife and I will never forget the
subtle pleasure of that summer
evening as we walked and rested
in the leafy plaisance. It will
indeed be a day memorized with
a white stone or a red letter on
the calendar of our minds.
If typewriter and paper could locate
the north pole it would' have been dis
covered long since. *

A PESSIMISTIC EDITOR.
Some Dflrk Lantern Views of the
Fai^mer.
The editor of the Pine Bluff
Graphic doubtless grows pessi
mistic at times and when in one
of these moods he penned the
following:
“The average Arkansas citizen
imagines that he lives at home
but he doesn’t. He gets up in
the morning and puts on socks
made in New" York, shoes made
in Boston, pants made in Ohio,
then slips a pair of Connecticut
suspenders over his shoulders.
“He dips some w^ater from a
Missouri bucket with a Chicago
dipper and puts it in an Illinois
washpan, aud washes his Arkan
sas face with a cake of St. Louis
soap. He dries his face with*a
Rhode Island towel and roaches
his hair with a Vermont comb.
He drinks Cuban coffee from an
Indiana cup and saucer, sweet
ened with sugar from Louisiana
and stirred by a New York spoon.
His knife, fork and plate are
made in the norths and his table
cloth, ditto. He eats a piece of
Chicago ham fried in Kansas
lard, sops his St. Louis biscuit,
seasoned with Boston'soda and
Michigan salt, into Louisiana mo-
lasse.s. He wipes his mouth on a
Vermont napkin and seats his
family in Michigan chairs around
a table from the same state. His
meal was cooked on a St. Louis
stove with wood cut with a Pitts
burg ax, and hauled in an Indi
ana wagon. The citizen puts a
Boston bridle and harness on a
Missouri mule, gets out his plow
and works in a field encumbered,
in all probability, with a New
York mortgage. He returns at
night and satisfies his appetite
with another important meal, fills
his Indiana lamp wnth Pennsyl
vania oil, and lights it with a New
York match. He then fills his
Illinois pipe with North Carolina
tobacco and settles down in a
northern chair for a comfortable
smoke. When bedtime come.s he
takes down his family Bible,
which was i^fitited 4ri- Massachu
setts, reads a chapter, says a
prayer composed in Jerusalem,
then retires to bed, slips under
his imported covers and is kept
awake for two long hours by ths
howls of his’ Arkansas dogs,
which are the only home products
he has on his farm.'’
Challenge from Brevard Drug Co.
The Brevard Drui^ Co. are seeking
the worst case of dyspepsia or con
stipation in Brevard or vicinitj^ to
test ’ Dr. Howard’s new specific for
the cure of those diseases.
So confident are they that this re
markable medicine will effect a last
ing cure in a short time that they
offer lo refund the money should it
not be successful.
In order to secure the quickest pos
sible introduction they will sell a
regular fifty cent package of this
medicine at half price, 25 cents.
This specific of Dr. Howard’s will
cure sick headache, dizzy feelings,
constipation, dyspepsia and all forms
of malaria and liver trouble. It doe.s
not simply jjive relief for a time; it
makes permanent and complete
cures.
It will regulate the bowels, tone
up the v/hole intestinal tract, give
you an appetite, moke food taste
good and digest well and increase
vigor. Joy and happinesp will take
the place of that “don’t care whether
0
I live or die” feeling.
Take advantage of the Brevard
Drug Co.’s challenge and secure a
bottle of Dr. Howard’s specific at half
price, with their personal guarantee
to refund your money if it does not
help you.
There is no need of suffering with
constipation, dyspepsi.a or liver dis
ease when \pu can get sixty doses of
a scientific medicine for their cure
like Dr. Howard’s specific for the
small sum of 25 cents, my 31 jn 14
No greater mistake can be made
than to consider lightly the evidence
of disease in your system. Don't
take desperate chances on ordinary
medicines. Use Hollister’s Rocky
Mountain Tea. 35 cents. Tea or
Tablets.—Brevard Drug Co.
