Hall's Catarrh Cure is , the only positive cure now known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutionffldisea8e, requires a constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly upon the blopd and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the foundation ot the disease, and giving the patient strength by bn ilding up the constitution and assisting nature in doing its: work. The proprietors have so much faith in its curative powers that they offer One Hundred Dollars for any case that it fails to care. Send - for list of testimonials. ' Address : F. J.

A stir was created in legislative circles, to night when it was found that the House had, without knowing it, Dassed ana sent to tne. senate a bill that would take- Wilkes County from the Seventh Con eressiooal District and restore it to he Eighth, the soheme behind the attempted legislation being alleged to be to upset the political complexion sf the two districts and restore the- Eighth to the Republican column . It is charg ed to be a "sneaK bill" ana' was introduced by. Representative Bnmgarner of Wilkes and tne House passed it without reading it on the assurance, it is said, of Mr Bnmgarner that it was a local bill affecting hit county. . . . i i i 11 side lights;!

Lucky has begun practic mg ior tne snow ana iasx Sunday he gave a free public exhibition. The first thing on the program was the se curing of a suitable hoss, nnd be it known that most any Kind of a quadruped was ac ceptable, tBrus it was he had no difficulty in executing stunt No. 1. In the course of human events one H. A. Fess perman, a gentleman of this place who is given to trading hosses, obtained a muel and iNt is his for keeps, probably on the basis that the worse bar gain the closer its provisions are to be observed, and for other good reasons, the main one of which is no one can be induced to nave it. It is doubtful should he tie a five dollar note to it that any one would lead it awayrwhich is equivalent to saying the mule is not worth its feed. How ever, Lucky was in need and was willing to sacrifice looks, quality, etc., provided the muel could travel. Of course, as is customary with hoss traders, the muel was given all the "rep" necessary to insure a trade, bo Lucky, af ter deep .consideration and some hesitation offered Mr. Fesperman a chicken hen and no boot. The offer was ac cepted ank happy go Lucky did what he could in the way of leading the heast with his cracking joints away. Hoping to inspire the muel with th e importance of. the proceed ings Lucky, in spite; of the solemnity of the occasion, ob tained several comic news paper supplements and deco rated the beast in brilliant carmimes, canaries and green. then V mounted and v made haste slowly toward Salis SUXDAY SCHOOL RALLY.

So, 1 the next step was to . remoupt. This, for some reason, - was) found to be practically impossible.

Later he returned, took, the animal to Mr. Fesperman and called for his chickenhen. Mr. Fesperman being awake to probabilities had slain the chicken lien and said she made a. very satisfactory meal, but if Mr. Freeze did not really care for the beast he might turn it in the lot. This was ' gladly done and now Mr. Fesperman has y& muel to trade, but Lucky is trying to prejudice the public mind against the muel by slandering the noble beast s character, v The Family Coufh ftedlclne In every home there should be a bottle of Dr. King's New Dis co very, reaay tor immediate use when any member of the family oontraots a cold - or a cough.
