This V Your Ghance . M to give "us a little inside base ball dope on what was meant by a recent remark we heard, "the bleachers went wild." We have figured out that it re ferred to a couple of peroxide blondes who made a big fuss when Babe Ruth struck out. What's your version of it? Don't pass up another good chance to secure such pure and choice groceries at such rockbottom prices. We are making special offers to the housewife this week. Jones Grocery Co. Forest City, N.

My back ached and I ■ i had hot flashes until I was so E | very nervous I smothered. M I couldn't sleep and I was never hungry, and I kept get- j ! ting weaker. I couldn't stand on my feet. This was an un- | usual condition for me as I s had been pretty strong all j along. I knew that I would 1 have to do something, and 1 that pretty soon. "Some Mend suggested that | I take Cardui, and it certainly | was a good suggestion, for I I after taking one bottle I could 1 tell I was stronger and better. § I didn't quit.

BLAZING CROSS TO OVERLOOK NEW LAKE LURCH CHURCH Chimney Rock, June 14.—As an example of the use of the cross as a symbol of Christian reverence, a site overlooking- the Lake Lure church now under construction here, is being sought by a group of friends who advocate the erection of a giant electric cross on a mountain top. The proposal has aroused the in terest of visitors from all pai*ts of the country as well as the home folks, and it is very probably that funds necessary for its erection will be easily available. According to the plans mentioned the cross will be brilliantly lighted by a large number of electric bulbs, which at night will shine upon the mountainsides and light the church ground, the lake and the valley be low. It will stand upon .a high point overlooking Lake Lure. It will cast a reflection upon the waters which will be visible to practically all resi dents in the community as well as guests at the hotels and boarding houses in this region. It will consti tute one of the beauties of this sec tion and be a silent reminder, many believe, of loyalty to trust and fidel ity to duty. It will broadcast a sil ent message of love of home and country and the higher things of life. It can be easily built of rough stones gathered from the commun ity and the electricity will not be expensive when the great dam now under construction is completed and begins to generate its 13,000,000 ca paOcity hydro-electric power. A farmer traveling from Edenton to Willard states that he left cot ton and peanut section and traveled through tobacco, Irish potato, straw berry and dewberry sections into a region where lettuce was grown. He was deeply impressed with the crop producing possibilities of east ern Carolina. , , Farm mothers of North Carolina will gather for a short course at State College, June 14 to 19.

Nomination, Suggests Joint Addresses Hon. Felix E. Alley, defeated candidate for the Democratic nom ination for Congress from the tenth district, whose brother, Z. B. Alley, met an untimely and tragic death on election night when he was car rying the election news to Sylvia, has addressed the following letter of congratulations to Congressman Weaver, pledging his co-operation and aid in the general campaign next fall: "Honorable Zebuion Weaver, "Asheville, North Carolina. "My dear Sir: "The tragic and untimely death of my brother on the night of June fifth has so completely overwhelmed me that I have had no earlier oppor tunity to extend to you my congrat ulations upon your decisive victory in last Saturday's primary election, i "You knew my brother well, and I am sure you will agree with me that until I became a candidate for Congress he was one of your most loyal supporters. "For forty years it was his cus tom on each election night, to carry the returns to the county seat so that he might rejoice with his friends who had won and console those who had lost. This was his mission when the light of his life was snapped out; and truly may it be said of him that 'Greater love hath no man than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.' "His virtues were many; and two of them were particularly outstand ing, which I have sought in my small way to emulate—fidelity to friends and unshaken faith in the ultimate triumph of Democratic principles. "In obedience to these sentiments I am writing this letter for the pur pose of tendering to you and the entire Democratic ticket my hearty support and co-operation in the com ing campaign. "For the past twenty-five years, in every political contest that has been waged in this section, at my own expense, and at the sacrifice of my own time and business, I have done all I could to cause the Demo cratic banner to stream triumphant above the field of battle; and if my life and health continue, twenty-five years longer I will continue, with out reward, to fight for the triumph of the Democratic faith, because I believe that the institution of our country can be made to endure only by the application of Democratic principles in government. "On a number of occasions since you have been running for Con gress, where our speaking appoint ments conflicted, we have spoken from the same platform in behalf of the Democratic cause; and I sug gest that we make the campaign to gether this fall. "It appears to me that this ar rangement would have several advan tages. Since we are in complete ac cord on the political issues of the day, we would, at the same time, present to the same audience, from the same viewpoint, the Democratic side of every question against the Republican position. The arrange ment would insure us larger crowds, with less inconvenience to the pub lic with less expense to us, and at the same time would demonstrate complete harmony and co-operation between us for the success of our party in the fall election. "If this suggestion meets your ap proval we| can work out the de tails later on. "With best wishes lor your suc cess, and trusting- that you will at all times be able to improve the op portunity for service which this nomination affords you for the good of our district and state, I am, "Yours very truly, (Signed) FELIX E. ALLEY." TO SELL LAKE LURE AT SHELBY Mr. C. L. T. Fisher is opening an office for Chimney Rock Mountains, Inc., at Shelby. He will sell not only Lake Lure property but real es tate in general.
