Random Observations
Is Forest City to have an overall club?
3f the men of the country take to
wearing overalls, will the women wear
" anderalls," or union smits?
We are sorry for Mary Pickford.
The courts gave her what she wanted
and now they are trying to take it away
from her.
Speaking of the overall clubs, it
strikes us that a "patched trouser club"
would be better from an economy
standpoint.
We look for gasoline to go up. A
movement is on foot to enforce the
state uniform law in regard to prices
and this commodity is to be "investiga
ted."'
.Another scandal in army circles.
"Now claimed that "favorites" of war
department officials have made from 100
to 500 per cent profit on resale of sur
7>JUE army supplies.
The strike situation is improving, so
the despatches say, many of the strikers
returning to work. Put these malcon
tents on the farms and let'em "strike"
mother earth for a living for awhile.
Atlanta people may spend summer in
Xents with a view to alleviating crowd
ed housing conditions and to combat
profiteering in rents. Will the situation
be relieved any when cold weather sets
J. A. Reed, dairyman living four miles
from Asheville, is said to have a fine
Holstein cow which has dropped a calf,
which has a head exactly like a dog.
Reed has had photographs made which
he has been showing in Asheville.
'Dog-on" a cow that would do such a
ihmg.
Reports from Chimney Rock to the
effect that the "woods" is full of sum-
mer visitors already, and the "open
season" not yet on. The Esmeralda
Jnn had 65 guests for dinner Sunday.
What will they do with the folks after
the season opens?
Sylva, N. C., is spending $90,000 for
a water and sewerage system for that
town. The county commissioners of
•Jackson county (of which Sylva is the
county seat) last week sold SIOO,OOO
worth of road bonds, and an additional
issue of $150,000 has been authorized
fry them. Will Rutherford county
ptease do likewise.

To Succeed You Must Save
Age creeps upon us like a snowstorm in the night. Before we know it we We
the buoyancy of youth and our hair begins to turn gray. Our capacity to earn
money is lessened. Without a home and a savings account, old age become
cheerless and dark. Our wants have to be relieved by the hand of charity, if re
lieved at all. It is too late then to mourn over our lost opportunities and the
lack of thrift in our younger days. Instead of an old age of peace and comfort
we have an old age of sorrow, discontent and worry. It is sad, heart-breakiui.lv
sad, but must be endured by the shiftless individual until his life is snuffed >nt
YOU CAN AVOID THIS CLASS OF OLD AGE
If you will, b> taking some shares in the Twenty-ninth Series of shares in our
Association, which will be open on May Bth 1920.

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cored
by local appUcations, as they cannot reach
the diaeased portion ot the ear. There ia
only one way to cure catarrhal deafnem,
and that 1a by a constitutional remedy.
Catarrhal Deafness is caused by an in
flamed condition of the mucous lining of
the Eustachian Tube. When this tube to
inflamed you have a rumbling- sound or im
perfect hearing, and when it is entirety
closed. Deafness Is the result. Unless the
inflammation can be reduced and thts tube
restored to Its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever. Many cases of
deafness are caused by catarrh, which to
an inflamed condition of the mucous sur
faces. Hail's Catarrh Medicine acts thro
the blood on the mucous surfaces of the
system.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Catarrhal Deafness that cannot
be cured by Hall's Catarrh Medicine. Cir
culars free. All Druggists. 75c.
